I met this Dr at the Vetco clinic in Southington Ct. I have since driven many of miles to have him be the one to care for my dog . I also live in Berlin Ct and travel to his office in Madison Ct for his expertise and service!! He is without a doubt hand down the BEST!! Especially with the little ones, he's so gentle and careful with them!! I would travel hours just to go to him he's SO WELL WORTH IT!! Lilo's Mommy (My Beloved Angel too) read more

I highly recommend Dr. Yousef. He is incredibly compassionate and takes the time to truly listen to your concerns. He provides excellent care for pets of all kinds, especially difficult breeds, from routine wellness visits to more specialized treatments. I've always appreciated how patient he is, explaining every procedure and making sure both pet and us feel comfortable. He is professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of my pets. Definitely a vet you can trust for top-notch veterinary care. read more

Dr. Magdy Yousef was the practicing vet at the Petco in Fairfield (Grasmere Ave) for administering vaccinations. As soon as I put my dog on the table he doesn't touch him at all, just looks at him and diagnoses him with a disease solely based on what he saw with his eyes. If my mom was taking my dog for vaccinations instead of me she would've gotten worried and probably gave in to whatever he was trying to push. Taking advantage of an owner's love for their animal is seriously messed up. Thankfully my dog had just gone to our primary vet and she made no mention of this, so I didn't buy into it. At no point in my visit did Dr. Yousef give me an impression that he was an individual who cares about animals, which is something that I strongly look for when choosing a veterinarian. I recommend looking elsewhere if you consider your pet a member of the family. read more

I just took my babies for vaccines at Petco. This vet was the one in charge, very unacceptable experience. You just don't put a dogs muzzle very tight and force the syringe so violent. I got so upset he doesn't show any care for animals. All he is interested is in selling his products and trying to get u to go to his office. The abuser got upset with me because I refuse to buy any medicine or products from him and took his anger on my dog. I will never recommend this guy to any person that loves and protect their pets. I really don't understand how Petco allows someone so hateful to work under their umbrella. Do yourself and ur pet a favor And stay away from this practice. He is clearly more interested in making money out of your love for your pet. read more

Dr yousef was so tender and loving with my doggie. He's very understanding with prices as well. I've never had someone like him. I have had bad experiences with vets before but he's is so different. I called him after hours since I can't leave my job till 6pm and he waited for me when I had an emergency with my puppy. His wife is a sweet lady as well and helps him with anything he asks.. it was traumitizing seeing my puppy in pain but the doctor and his wife helped with the situation. Thank you read more

Dr. Yousef is a phenomenal vet, and his team is terrific as well! If there were more than 5-stars to give him I would!!

It just seems like Kay C. might've woken up on the wrong side of the bed when she wrote that, and clearly can't see genuine veterinary service when it's offered! I have never seen a Veterinarian, bend-over backwards to help his clients the way Dr. Yousef does. When I was living in Madison, I was in the waiting room and as another client was finishing up with Dr. Yousef and exiting the exam room, I couldn't help but hear that the client was having a difficult time coming into their appointments due to their age. Dr. Yousef, without hesitation, told the older lady, the next time she needs an appointment, HE will go to her and perform the visit so she doesn't have to travel. HOW MANY VETS ARE WILLING TO DO THAT NOWADAYS?! I just thought it was very heartfelt and genuine. My wife and I have never had any problems with Dr. Yousef's service when we brought our Chocolate Lab. His prices are very comparable, and he never pushed medications on me that were "extra" or "unnecessary." Great vet! read more

My family has been taking all of our pets (8 cats and 4 dogs) to Dr. Yousef for many, many years. He bends over backward for his furry clients. We have called in the middle of the night at 12:30 AM with an emergency and he said to just bring the pet over right now. Another time he was on his way out of the state and he turned around to meet us at his practice. How many vets will do that? He saved our 2 very ill rescue kittens, saved our dog's leg when we feared it would have to be amputated and has taken very well care of ALL of our fur babies! read more

This animal clinic was one of the scummiest, most unprofessional animal clinics I have ever visited. The floors and countertops were filthy, the vet was unprofessional, pushy, rude and bad at dealing with the actual animal. When he examined my dog, he didn't listen to her heart, he couldn't handle her natural puppy exuberance and energy, and required me to restrain my dog myself, with no help from him. When he began to proscribe medication, he pushed a year supply of heartgard and nexgard without giving any direct reason why(he obviously wanted the money for an expensive medication), and then diagnosed her with hypothyroidism based on nothing. Puppies of less than a year old don't get hypothyroidism. Again, he wanted to sell some expensive medication, and to get us coming back regularly for expensive followups and blood work. As for the actual reason of the visit, trying to get her spayed, he mysteriously came down with carpal tunnel the day after my initial visit, meaning he couldn't perform the surgery until he was better, which would likely mean my dog would go into heat first, which would, again, make for another expensive charge from him to us. Carpal tunnel doesn't come on that quickly, so he either was lying and tried to milk us for more money, or he knew the day of our initial visit that he would be unable to perform the surgery properly. In the blood work results, there was no sign of hypothyroidism according to the new vet, and when we brought the dog to a different vet, she was much calmer in this different office. Perhaps she could smell his lies better than we could. Stay away from Doctor Yousef, his practice is a shambles and he is a money hungry dirtball. read more

Dr. Yousef is just wonderful and so caring, he was just so great with the animal and answered all my questions and concerns; can't thank him and his staff enough. I was so happy with them and also found a caring and trusting vet. They will not make you even spend UN-necessary money, there is just not enough words to express how happy we are coming here. read more

Dr. Yousef is one of the most attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly vets I have had the pleasure of meeting. I lived in Madison for a short time and was recommended to Hammonasset Animal Clinic by family. I have a two-year old Sheltie who has some stomach and digestion issues and at the time he needed an exam and other attention. Dr. Yousef worked with my precious vet to transfer my dog's records so he could see his medical history before making his own judgement. I appreciate that because most vets prescribe something on site and do not investigate the animal's past. Dr. Yousef let me come in and weigh my dog free of charge a few times after that. Medication (heart guard, Nexguard) is substantially cheaper than other clinics. If you live in Madison or a surrounding town, please do yourself a favor and see Dr. Yousef! He's wonderful! read more

Kay C. Must be a troll working for anther vetinary hospital. In the 17 years that I have been going to Hammonassett Animal Clinic i have never had any of what this woman experienced. He has been kind and considerate with me and my 3 dogs. He will see them on the spot if needed. He even trims their nails monthly for free because Petco failed to do them when I brought them in for grooming and they got too long to do safely. He calls to check on their welfare when they are not well. His office is clean and he personally cleans before and after our visit. He does have me hold my dogs for shots and bloodwork because they are familiar with me, which I like. Also my allegiance to Dr Yousef stems from when I brought my first adopted dog home from the new haven pound. He was a mess. I called the Madison Vetinary hospital in North Madison because I had previously used them for all my other dogs and cats and they Turned me down. No consideration for past allegiance. I called other veterinarian clinics along the shoreline and because I was not a current client they turned me down. Dr Yousef saw us right away. Cleaned up his matted hair and gave him a thorough exam and the appropriate flea and tick medication for this area. I am forever grateful and Kato is now 19 years old. read more
