Dr Hufnagel is arrogant and has no compassionate for your pet. All he cares about is the bottom line.$$ I recently brought my dog in for surgery. He came out in the waiting area was joking around with another couple. I was paying my overpriced bill. He didn't even have the common courtesy to speak with me about my dog's surgery. He has his vet tech do the follow up after surgery. I will never go back to him again. He is an ass !! read more

Dr Hufnagel has been my vet for over 20 years. My parents have brought our dogs to him even before that. Very nice and reasonably priced. Will do anything he can for your dog before sending to a specialist. He performed bilateral FHO on my springer spaniel for hip dysplasia and 7 years later she runs and plays with our other dogs. No issues. read more

He's rude, not compassionate and charges WAY wayyy too much! He doesn't seem to care about the animals and I've seen him treat his patients and workers very rudely! I will not be taking my pet back there for the procedure it needs done. I do not recommend anyone going here. I would give -00000 stars if I could and do not recommend him to anyone. read more

Have had dogs all my life. I am 60 years old and have been going to Hufnagel Vet. Clinic for almost 30yrs!. Initially, loved Tom & the staff but now FORGET IT! He has become so miserable, each year getting worse and worse. I forget the last time I saw the man smile. I do agree that he is a decent Vet, but not a very good human being. Money should be his middle name. If you DARE to ask "How much will that cost?" You will be looked down upon by him, making you feel like the worst dog owner in the world. He must think everyone has unlimited funds. After going to him forever, I again dared to ask a "WHY" question to his receptionist about his policies. I did not make a stink or raise my voice to her. A week after the conversation, I received a "Dear Client" letter. It said, and I quote:" Due to your recent disssatisfaction with our office policies and prices, I feel it would be best if you found a new veterinarian for your pets. Your reminders have been pulled from our system." Are you kidding me? After 30 yrs this is what I get, just because I asked a question? Shame on you Tom. I LOVE my babies like most of you do. They are a part of the family. Do yourselves a favor so you don`t have to endure his BAD ATTITUDE, and choose another Vet. read more

Prices are reasonable and my animals have always received the absolute best care. The staff here is friendly and always answer questions patiently if I call in. read more

Over 30 years of being a client this is how I was treated.Took a new Doberman that I rescued to have shots and an appointment for nurturing.

Updating to say even after years at this vet the service and caring for our pets is like no vet I have ever been to. Dr. Hufnagel takes the time to really explain everything and provide your pets with the best care. He has gone the extra mile for us time and time again. We have never had a bad experience here. I would not trust my pet to any other vet in the area. read more

Very thorough, compassionate, reasonably priced. I feel confident that all my concerns are addressed and never dismissed without consideration like other practices in our area; fair enough!!!! read more

I've been taking my pets to Hufnagel for over 25 years. I began hearing solicitous rumors regarding him and his practice about 5 years in but disregarded them mainly out of convenience and my pets mainly needed routine care and seemingly he provided adequate care. He preformed ACL surgery on a large dog of mine and the surgery went well and never required followup. Now I question whether my dog needed the surgery at all. I recently took my German shepherd in for a standard vasectomy. When I picked him up after the surgery I was handed an envelope and was told to give the dog the pills if I ever brought him in again. They were sedatives. I was shocked. I have taken him to various vets since and all described him as normally aggressive and even passive. He was VERY groggy and took him a good day to come around. 3 days later, he was still not himself and upon closer examination I noticed what I thought was blood in his scrotum. I immediately phoned the office and was told that Hufnagel would not available and if it were an emergency I would have to take him to another vet for examination. I asked the receptionist to tell him of the problem. I was in Donegal at the time and went to the Animal Medical Center in Somerset. After his exam, the doctor explained that a full neuter would need to be preformed to eliminate the infection. They couldn't understand why a full neuter wasn't done in the first place and wouldn't comment on Hufnagels surgery but recommended other practices for follow up. One of the vets there knew Hufnagel. They needed to get him stabilized prior to the surgery and wanted to keep him over the weekend to watch and stabilize him with IV fluids etc and that the surgery would be done on Monday and should be able to pick him up Monday afternoon. I got a call Monday morning and was told he was not a candidate for surgery and was sent home with a bunch of antibiotics and was told I may as well take him home and give him his meds and nurse him back. His lower right side had swelled to a bursting point. They could not tell me if he would recover. I was devastated. I nursed him back and took him to Dr Altman (GREAT vet) in New Castle for follow up and she prescribed additional antibiotics but was happy with his progress. He is fine now, thank God. Over the last few years, I have noticed Dr. Hufnagel growing more distant, short, uncompassionate, and rough with the dog. He has taken care of my 3 dogs and numerous cats over the 25 years. I have been to his home. I have met his wife. I have made numerous visits to his office and made numerous phone calls asked that he call me back regarding this issue - not that I should have had to do that. HE should have called me back to ask how the dog was as soon as he got the message that the surgery went bad. I cant tell you how disappointed I was with his lack of professionalism, care, regard, courtesy and simple decency. Recently I got a form letter from him asking me to find another vet due to my dissatisfaction and it mentioned his records would be attached to the letter. No records were attached. I have heard many stories about him over the years and was willing to disregard those and gave him the benefit of the doubt and have been satisfied with his work up until now. I realize now that all those stories are true. This was a routine surgery. He is a big dog. I can see if he were tiny and the surgery would be more challenging. Moreover, it's not so much the incompetence as it is his lack of care. If he doesn't enjoy his work anymore, he should retire. I had to spend $2,000 to save the dogs life for a botched $400 surgery. I didn't need a letter from Hufnagel inviting me to find another vet. This "doctor" deserves no stars!!! FIND ANOTHER VET even if you they are a bit out of the way. You and your pets will be happier, healthier and wealthier. read more

I had to find my username and password to yelp simply to update my positive review from 2010. I was recently fired from this clinic as a patient/pet owner. The letter was not clear exactly as to why but I'm assuming it's because I refused allergy medicine for my dog. He was licking his feet because he had a cracked toenail and I thought it prudent to see if his licking stopped after the toenail was fixed rather than over medicating him possibly for no reason. I have many friends who questioned my loyalty to this Vet and I had started to think to go else where but I have been going here since I was a little boy with my family dog. It was just where you went even if you weren't happy. Thank you for forcing my hand and having me go elsewhere. I can't say it strong enough, avoid going here! read more

I have been going here for years. Staff is fabulous. Dr takes time if I ask questions.

If I could give him a zero I would. Long story short. Been going there over 4 yrs. Took my 19 yr old kitty there and the tech said to me if the meds he gave me don't work, to call and she'll give me something else. So I did and the rude receptionist, Holly. Told me that there's nothing else that Dr. Hufnagle can give me and recommend a Cancer specialist. Kitty has had IBS for over 5 years, if she had Cancer, she'd be dead. So I called today to set up an appointment to get Kitty's ears cleaned and the rude Holly said that Dr Hufnagle would no longer treat ANY of my animals. With my Police experience of over 20 years, my opinion of Dr Hufnagle is he has Anger Management issues. Reading other reviews, it's obvious to me. I'm consulting my Lawyer to take Legal action again him as I've spent Thousands there CASH., and don't deserve to be treated this way. He's even to cowardly to speak to me on the phone. Avoid This BUSINESS. My Money spends Anywhere. The funny part is they sent us a Xmas card after all this. Shame on Them! read more

Tom Hufnagel is arrogant and rude most of the time. I had my differences in the past but this time was it for me . A year ago we took our Beagle in and he said he had an affected tooth.. in reality the poor guy had Cancer and died a month later. About 5 years ago he told me my minpin had cancer in his back leg and had less than a year to live ... I still have him!! I got a rescue and took him in to be vaccinated and he gave a low growl while getting his shots. People in the waiting room was petting him after. I made an appointment to have him neutered and Two days before he had his staff call and cancel the appointment and said he did not want to see him again that he's to mean... I asked for him to call and of course he is spineless and did not call. We have been going to him for 36 years. I called back and asked for my records and was told they were put in the mail and a week later nothing. I believe the man has more issues than anyone knows and you just never know what personality you will be getting. He is not a vet that really cares he has proven that. I would never recommend him!! read more

I have been a loyal customer of Hufnagle for probably 3 decades and I will NEVER be back. The first time I observed his lack of concern for animals and incompetence was when he approached my dog too quickly and the dog snapped at him. After that, he required a muzzle, which I later asked them to change with no further difficulties. My dog doesn't need a muzzle, but you'd think a veterinarian would know how to properly approach a dog. I never heard a kind or friendly word towards my pet from him. I cannot believe the guy even cares for animals. Last week was the final straw. I was lucky to get an appointment at 12:15. I arrived at 12:18. The office cleric rushed out to meet me in the parking lot and said I was late and the doctor had already left. By the time I expressed my displeasure, the clock read 12:19. A loyal 30-year customer, and the doctor/business owner could not wait. Probably needed to get to a golf game. I have waited for collective hours in that waiting room for the doctor. I have been a business owner and defense contractor for 30 years and I waited on many occasions for late customers because that's what good customer service is, especially for long-time loyal customers. They are like gold. Never again. Hufnagles is a convenient 1.5 miles from me and I will now travel just about anywhere for the care of my pet from a competent office with caring individuals. I do not recommend Hufnagles whatsoever. Because I told the office clerk I'd never be back, I received all my dog's records yesterday with a letter from Dr. Hufnagle in all caps saying that because I was dissatisfied with the office policies I should take my pet elsewhere, providing a dated list of vets. There is no office policy regarding being 3 minutes late. Because he left, I took my pet to Butler Animal Hospital the next day and they clearly have a policy posted for all customers to see that says if you are more than 10 minutes late, your appointment may have to be rescheduled. That's a policy. I am grateful that they sent me my dog's records. I also noticed that they removed the ability to post on their facebook page and removed all of the negative posts. Of course they did. One of the posts I read said the vet needs his anger management addressed. For sure. If you love your pet, and I know you do, as I do, go elsewhere for loving and competent pet care because you will not find it there. Cathy C. read more

I have been going here for a few years and didn't really care for the vet but yesterday had an awful experience and will NOT be back! Dr. Hufnagel is the most uncaring vet I've ever dealt with. He talked at me, not to me. Never looked at me or explained anything. Didn't ask before doing anything, just did it and then charged me $330! He gave my dog an injection so aggressively that I almost said something. read more

Vet is unprofessional, rude, bad temper and the fact he has so many terrible consistent reviews on many different platforms should be enough. Don't waste your money or time. As like many other reviews I went there for 9 years and always recommend him but he's gone very down hill. I had a healthy pet go in to have a tooth pulled that she broke and had a very ill pet come out which also infected my other dog. $850 and they are still sick and now I have to go to another vet. read more

We took our dog here for years and were happy. Staff was always friendly. Prices were a bit high, but ok. When his regular vet, Dr Steinbaugh moved to another practice, we were given a female vet, whose name I don't recall. I may have never heard it since she didn't introduce herself. She came in, examined our dog, and then left me there with the assistant. Didn't say a word to me (or the dog). Not....one....word. Maybe her mind was elsewhere, but it was bizarre...like I wasn't even in the room. Certainly she was coming back in I thought. Nope. That was it. This was a couple of years ago, and I haven't been back. I'd have given 4 stars before this visit. Hopefully it was just a bad day. read more

We have been taking our dogs here for about 15 years. Recently our bulldog had a multitude of knee problems. Dr. Hufnagel went over all of our options and recommended surgery. Unfortunately the first surgery was not successful to fully correct the issues. Dr. Hufnagel and his staff worked tirelessly to get our puppy back to normal. After more surgery, round the clock care and daily laser treatments our bulldog is happy, pain free and playing again. It was very clear that Dr. Hufnagel took a personal interest in our dog and treated it as one of his own and all he cared about was getting him well, not the money that could be gained. The prices for this excellent care were also substantially better than other vet clinics in the area. I would highly recommend Dr. Hufnagel and his staff!! read more

Dr. Tom and Dr. Rob are wonderful vets. I have taken my dogs and cat to to them for several years. They thoroughly explain the issues my dogs and cat are having and what I can do for preventative care. They are very competent and have decades of experience. When my cat needed laser therapy for many days to speed healing on a foot injury, Dr. Tom and Dr. Rob were very compassionate and offered me a significant discount. I strongly recommend Dr. Tom and Dr. Rob. read more

I have found my new vet. I have a runt kitten who has been having some health issues. The previous vet I took her to did not think she was a runt but that she was a too young to be away from her momma but completely healthy. They did think she had a respiratory infection. She had a fit, almost like a seizure and that vet was closed. A friend suggested Hufnagel Veterinary Clinic. They were so focused on her. I was amazed. They found she has a bad heart murmur, she's hypoglycaemic and she's not too young but very under developed. They called the next day to check on her and want me to call them Saturday and Monday. Very dedicated and caring people. They are giving me hope that she may survive. My appointment, with all they did, came to less than 80$. She has a follow up this Thursday and they are prepared to see her immediately if she doesn't improve or gets worse. They got me in the very day I called. The staff is a bit dry and to the point (not rude) but they are very serious about their work. I don't care how they are with me as long as they take good care of my kitty. But they were very respectful, patient and understanding. I was a nervous wreck when I went in there. They even had her previous vet fax over their notes on her. I would give them a try if you're think of it. read more

Horrible experience. Dog treated over week prior to visit for $370 tried to go back 8 days later - receptionist said vet in surgery until 1:30 or 2:00 - we come in around 3:00 sit and wait for 30 minutes and vet says he is too busy to see my sick dog - all booked up sorry - no appts the following day either - we should just take him to Pittsburgh sorry - unbelievable experience - vet obviously does not truly care about animals only making money. Stay Away... read more

They treat the pets better than their owners. They will charge you a FULL office visit every time you walk in the door! Even if it's just for a simple vaccine, AND EVEN IF THEY PREVIOUSLY TELL YOU THAT YOU'LL ONLY BE CHARGED FOR THE VACCINE! They will gladly take advantage of your wife, who's there with pets and children in tow, and pressure you into buying services you don't need. There is no remorse or even apology when you call and complain. Go someplace else that treats the owners as well as the pets. read more
