    . Balbour wouldn't even consider sedating the cat, let alone put her under full anesthesia multiple times a year

I 100% recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, affordable place to take their pet! Prior to the appointment, the clinic followed up multiple times beforehand with reminders of the appointment time and date, as well as instructions for my dog for the night prior to surgery. The attention to detail is so appreciated here! Upon arriving for my appointment, I met with Dr. Berger and his staff to go over the procedures my dog was undertaking that day. The cleanliness of the office and the obvious experience the staff had with treating their patients was very reassuring for me. The staff also took note that I traveled a few hours to their clinic, and prioritized getting my dog's procedures wrapped up earlier than expected (I was expecting pickup to be around 5pm, but they were done around 2pm!) so that I could travel back home faster. This is so thoughtful and sincerely so appreciated. Upon looking at my dog's teeth, all the plaque and tartar have been removed; his teeth are sparkling white! His incision spot after neutering is also small and tidy. I am extremely grateful to LI S&N for such wonderful care and thoughtful treatment of their animal patients and human customers. I heartily recommend them.

    My experience at Long Island Spay and Neuter began on a high note, characterized by exceptional…read morecare and attention for my pets. Dr. Burger, a traditional veterinarian, genuinely connected with his patients, providing compassionate and knowledgeable care. The practice's commitment to affordable spay and neuter services was a significant asset. However, over time, the focus seemed to shift towards profitability. The transition to a larger facility brought changes that negatively impacted the quality of service. The once-familiar voices answering the phone were replaced by unfamiliar staff, leading to frustrating delays in communication. The ability to see Dr. Burger diminished, resulting in a rotating roster of veterinarians that disrupted the continuity of care. Obtaining essential medication for my dogs, particularly their anti-seizure prescriptions, became a cumbersome process. I found myself needing to visit the office monthly or manage complicated interactions with online pharmacies, which added unnecessary stress. Ultimately, Long Island Spay and Neuter has transformed from a trusted veterinary practice into a business that prioritizes profit over patient care. This shift has compromised their integrity and has drawn unfortunate comparisons to less reputable practices in the area. I hope they can realign their focus on the well-being of their patients and restore the trust they once inspired.

    Best animal hospital I ever worked with. We switched from a different animal hospital and I just…read morewish I found out about Jefferson Animal Hospital sooner. Dr. Sagel is wonderful, the entire staff is as a matter of fact. It's clear they care more about our babies' welfare than how much money they make. They are all so kind and show such care, it's immediately obvious they are a great group of people. I planned to switch from our old vet in Islip to Jefferson when we adopted our newest puppy, but our older girl Holly was the first to visit when she developed a bad cough. Throughout it, Dr. Sagel & the supporting staff has been wonderful. Everything was explained and they broke down costs for all her treatments before performing anything and never pressured us into anything. Holly even seems to like it there, each visit while she's nervous at first, soon as a tech mentions her name, she would let out a bark to say "hey that's me" and has been actually happy during exams. I also love that they see lots of different type of animals - we have ducks, cats, guinea pigs and small birds, I'm happy we can bring them all here instead of having to go to three different animal hospitals like we used to.

My dog developed a loss of coordination, neurological symptoms and a loss of muscle control. Her back legs collapsed, and she had difficulty standing up. I called on Tuesday immediately following the visit and I called again on Wednesday and was told the vet would call me back, but he never did. He never found the time to return my call to even inquire on the dog's condition. Does that sound like a caring Vet?

Dr. Lindsay is absolutely amazing at returning phone calls and explaining lab results to you which is sometimes the most difficult part after a doctors visit. The vet techs are gentle and amazing with my 85 pound dog who is not very cooperative when it comes to having his nails cut. I'm taking off a star because the front desk staff appear to be miserable human beings. They could very well be happy people but I've never seen it. I understand bad days but do they have a bad day every time I'm in there?? They come off dismissive, condescending and a little bit rude. My dog had five growths removed and I called once for an update and whoever picked up the phone sighed at me for asking if my dog was out of surgery. Other than them, this is a great vet practice!

"sketchy" the entire staff do not care about the animals. The first scenario I had with them I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, during the pacing of my dog. During a very tragic accident with one of my dogs, while I was away from the situation (going through a divorce) My baby boy some how was struck by two vehicles. The animal hospital provided me with absolutely no information on the care of my dog, any details on any thing. I work in the area. and was having an issue with one of my dogs and had asked to come in. They denied my animal care. The pain I have had to live with, not knowing what had happened to my baby has killed me. I never blamed them for the result, which is why I was willing to go back, but them denying my other animals care. is questionable vet practices at best. the way I have been treated by these people, is negligence. and is something I will now need to follow up on.
