I brought my 18-YEAR-OLD, NEUTERED MALE cat with congestive heart failure to Fresh Meadows Animal…read moreClinic for a scheduled echocardiogram. Instead, he was given pre-anesthetic medications and anesthesia for a SPAY procedure. Dr. Cohen later stated there had been a mix-up with another patient. When my mother picked him up, she was told by Dr. Cohen not to inform me of the incident (I have been in the field for ~15 years) and was discouraged from seeking care elsewhere. No post-procedure blood work or objective assessment was performed to ensure he was stable for discharge. We took him to a 24-hour emergency hospital, where he was found to be dehydrated, hypokalemic, and in acute kidney failure. He has since required multiple ER visits for vomiting, lethargy, and not eating, along with ongoing monitoring that has cost thousands of dollars. Dr. Cohen also stated he would not be taking action regarding the employee involved, citing that she had been "showing improvement," and added that she is pregnant. Regardless, verifying the correct patient prior to anesthesia is a fundamental responsibility of the veterinarian. If others have had similar experiences and are considering reporting concerns to the state veterinary licensing board, I encourage you to document everything and follow the appropriate formal complaint process. No pet or family should have to go through this.

I've seen some recent negative reviews about this clinic, and I feel compelled to speak up--because…read moreI have been going here for years, and the experience my pets and I have had is the complete opposite of what's being said. The doctor at this clinic is one of the most compassionate, dedicated professionals I've ever met. From day one, it's been clear that this isn't just a business--it's a place where animals are truly cared for, and where every decision is made with their wellbeing in mind. My pets have received nothing but gentle, thoughtful, and thorough care here, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with their health. It's upsetting to see negative comments from people who may not have even been here in person. If you're reading those and feeling unsure, I encourage you to visit the clinic yourself. Don't base your opinion on a single post or someone else's story without full context. It's easy to misjudge when you don't see the whole picture. Unfortunately, online platforms sometimes spread misinformation quickly, and not every review tells the full truth. What I can say, from direct and repeated experience, is that this clinic treats every pet like family, and their compassion is real. If you truly care about finding a vet who puts animals first, come see for yourself. I stand by this place 100%. A Truly Pawsitive Experience! I recently visited this pet clinic and was thoroughly impressed with the warm, welcoming environment and the attentive care both pets and their owners received. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear that this place is thoughtfully designed with both comfort and functionality in mind. The waiting area is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, featuring cozy benches and a variety of pet products neatly organized on shelves. The soothing color scheme and natural wood flooring give it a homey feel, which instantly put both pets and their humans at ease. In the first image, you can see a family with their adorable Corgi interacting comfortably with staff and other clients -- a testament to how relaxed the atmosphere is here. Throughout our visit, it was clear that this clinic values a sense of community. The second and third images capture multiple pet owners calmly waiting with their dogs -- from a friendly Golden Retriever to a beautiful Australian Shepherd -- all coexisting peacefully. That's no accident; it speaks volumes about how well the staff manage the space and the flow of clients. One of the standout moments was seeing a staff member or vet lovingly attending to a large Rottweiler in the last image. This level of personal care and attention shows their commitment to treating every pet like family, regardless of size or breed. The pet was visibly relaxed, lying comfortably while being gently examined. Highlights: Excellent cleanliness and organization Spacious waiting area that accommodates multiple pets comfortably Calm, welcoming environment for pets and people alike Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive staff Well-stocked shelves with quality pet products Whether you're visiting for a routine checkup or a more specialized service, this clinic offers a supportive and professional environment that puts your pet's well-being first. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any pet owner looking for exceptional care and service!

They never gave me the prescription at the time of the visit, so I needed it now. I was told they would text me their email and the information I needed so I could use them as the referral for wherever I choose to order her medication.

It's extremely frustrating to keep reaching out for something so simple and still get nothing back. Very unprofessional and disappointing.

Dr. Michael Roemmelt was amazing on my first visit--so gentle, approachable, and immediately put me at ease (it didn't hurt that he has the same breed as my cat!). I've continued to feel that same level of trust and comfort with him at every visit. My younger cat had some digestive issues her first year, but I followed his diet recommendations and she's been perfectly fine for the past few months. Dr. Colleen Kelly is also fantastic. She's incredibly kind, explains everything clearly, and makes each visit feel easy and stress-free--which I really appreciate since I try to keep things calm for my cats. Overall, such a positive experience every time I come here. Highly recommend.

I was heartbroken, but the staff at Little Neck Veterinary Care couldn't be more kind, compassionate, and understanding. We decided to bring her home, and let her live her life as comfortably as possible. About a week later we realized that Bacon's health was declining, and that it was time to say goodbye. This was extremely hard for me since I had Bacon before my daughter and my husband. The staff were so kind, and made the process as gentle on us as possible. They created a memorial keepsake with her paw print in sand. They also included patches of her fur, and they made sure to include all of her colors. Not only that, they sent a beautiful, handwritten sympathy card. I know it's old fashioned, but it also shows that they care. That action took time, and they didn't have to do that, but they did. I will take my other cats there, any future pets, and I'll recommend other pet parents to this vet.

I've been a client of Glendale Veterinary Clinic since Dr. Anne joined the practice many years ago…read more I followed her from another practice because I don't know a better diagnostician than Dr. Anne. In addition to her outstanding skills and expertise in diagnosing tricky conditions, she has performed several complex surgeries on my xl dogs and they have all been very successful and expertly done.

That's absurd.

There's a decent sized waiting area and a check in counter when you arrive as well. They are very dog friendly and they have snacks for them as well. I have cats and it would have been nice to have something for them as well though. The vets and the techs were all very nice and professional. They are very engaged and made sure my kittie was as comfortable as possible. Parking can be tricky here though as it's on Austin Street. Definitely worth the visit if you have a pet!

One of my dogs just had dental there with extractions, the staff text me during the procedure and Dr. Karandikar called me and explained what she had seen on X-rays and how she would proceed. I was then given updates, told when he was out of surgery and then the doctor called again. I've had dogs my whole life who had their teeth cleaned and extracted and I never had up-to-date info or the vet calling me before and after surgery!! I'm really impressed!

The doctor that saw Max was kind, knowledgeable and explained in details what was the best course for Max, considering her age and situation. He did not rush to steer us toward a decision that we didn't want but explained more in details what he thought was best. Overall, this place is great for those who have exotic animals. It is super hard to find one in the city that is not trying to milk every dollar you have but actually here at Steinway Court, they really do seem to put the pet's situation first rather then suggesting a bunch of unnecessary tests that may end upcosting too much. I was very happy with the visit.

I brought my 15 year old cat for a check up because he had been losing alot of weight and I needed to know why. I understood that he could be "difficult" to deal with, but I was shocked that I had to bring him back a second time and authorize sedation in order for blood to be drawn. Since I wasn't in the exam room, I don't know exactly how freaked out he was, but I was surprised, that after dosing him with gabapentin, he was still too "feisty". I mean, he's not feral, for gosh sakes! I've had him forever and he's a love. Oh well. Blood was drawn under sedation and all is well. Despite the drama, I DO recommend this veterinary practice. It is a clean, well-run, professional place to bring your fur babies.

Her compassion is unmatched. As great as the office is, the staff is even better. Everyone is polite, caring, sensitive and friendly. It's really a pleasure to bring an animal to Dr. Loose. Dr. Loose is the perfect combination of respecting the client's wishes, but being firm with her guidance when she sees benefit for the animal. For example, we didn't want to take a certain vaccination, but Dr. Loose made the point about the risks in our area, and we went with her guidance. We were glad that she made things clear. Even more amazing is that Dr. Loose continues to price her services very fairly. The value is just terrific. We are on our third puppy under Dr. Loose's care, and we wouldn't take him anywhere else.
