Bad experience at Harlingen…read more I brought my cat in to be checked for a possible respiratory infection on Friday, Oct. 31, 2025. She'd been sneezing intermittently and occasionally sniffling. My cat was assigned to Dr. Aguilar. Somehow, the technician and doctor misunderstood this information and began examining her eye instead. First, they wanted to give her a vaccine for her respiratory condition, then the doctor changed her mind. I was bombarded with jargon that I had to repeatedly ask to be clarified. Even when I explained that I have difficulty handling her (she does not like to be picked up or touched), the doctor prescribed an eye ointment and medication to mix with her food--no antibiotic shot, even though that treatment had been prescribed before. I never requested an eye exam. My cat is seen by the Vet Vision Center, and they are fully aware of her eye condition. And NO, she's not having an operation on her eye (as suggested). It's almost impossible (and extremely stressful) to attempt to apply an ointment to her eye twice a day! She notices the crushed pills and does not touch the food with them in it. Why can't she get an antibiotic shot? She's had them before and they helped. My cat is 15-17 years old, and I do NOT want to stress her with treatments that would confine her to a room for two weeks. I felt that neither my needs nor my cat's were addressed. I didn't feel listened to, nor did I feel my concerns were taken seriously. My cat is an older cat who dislikes being held, and I emphasized this multiple times. I simply don't want to add unnecessary stress to her life at this point. Even during nail trimming, I was uncomfortable with how the techs handled her. At first, they just did her front paws and told me they'd do the back ones next time. I had to insist they trim her back paws. What kind of care is this? In addition, the initial billing quote was about $100. I asked the tech and the doctor to give me an estimate of additional charges, if any. This was NOT communicated to me. I was blindsided when I went to pay the bill upon leaving--$295! I was too upset to argue, so I paid it. I felt like I was taken advantage of. I'm sorry I came to Harlingen--things have clearly changed since I came here years ago with my other cats. My needs and my cat's needs were not addressed. As a senior citizen on a budget, I feel like I wasted $295 on this visit, and now I'll have to spend more to see another vet. This experience was very upsetting to me, and we won't be back. I'm done with Harlingen.

Caring Heart Animal Hospital Review - 3/3/26…read more I had been searching for a new vet for my Great Pyrenees. He's a big guy with various issues since we adopted him from a kill shelter about 7-years ago. I had been going to Belle Mead Animal Hospital, and they are very good, but I was looking for a more local vet that had the time to spend working on his issues. Some of those issues included a luxated patella, digestive sensitivity, paw infections and the like. I found Caring Heart through the Next Door app, and the reviews were very good, so I figured I would give it a shot. Since the very first appointment back in 2024, I found Dr. Chris & his staff to be an excellent choice. He was compassionate, he listened and provided a thoughtful & dedicated approach to my GP's care. His prices were fair (and less than my previous vet) and more important, his approach always focused on care and not "spending money for the sake of..." Well, recently, Dr. Chris sold the practice, and my concern was that I had to begin the search process all over again. Well, that wasn't the case at all. Dr. Silit, acquired the practice, and although he was highly recommended by Dr. Chris prior to his departure, you never know what to expect until that first visit. Well, I'm delighted to report that Dr. Silit is outstanding. He takes the time to understand the issues, listens very well and more important, he provides timely and effective care at every turn. I should also say that as a Surgeon, you would think he would promote "surgery" at every turn, even if there are less evasive options. I'm happy to report that nothing could be further from the truth. I've always gotten an appointment quickly, and his pricing and recommendations always make sense. Additionally, I found his staff, Brandon & Jessica, truly round out the experience when it comes to making you feel welcome. They are there with you in case of any emergency needs. My feeling is that no business would likely receive 5-stars across the board. Someone will always be disappointed or find reasons not to recommend. In this case, I assure you that your experience with Dr. Silit and his team, based on my ongoing relationship with them, will stand the test of time. Whether you need meds, general wellness care or emergency counsel, Dr. Silit and his team are there. Finally, you should know that I'm not one to rate businesses unless I'm deeply disappointed or highly impressed. Caring Heart in Skillman deserves a visit, if you're like me & you're highly selective about your pet's care and need for a responsive, friendly and knowledgeable staff that simply "gets it". This is one small town vet with big positive outcomes that's worth your time and business.

I had a kitten spayed there, the next day she had a high fever, oozing pus coming from the incision, and clearly had an infection. After leaving multiple messages that were not returned and repeatedly calling I finally got through to a human being and was told "We're busy, wait a day and see how she is tomorrow." I took the kitten to an emergency vet where she was admitted, needed IV antibiotics, and revision surgery. Belle Mead didn't have the decency to see her after they did the surgery. They do have a few good vets there, but they also have a rotation of newly licensed, inexperienced vets with know if all attitudes that make a lot of mistakes.

When they Moved to their present location I Followed them there. After a while I switched to a Different Vet. (reasons I won't get into here) one was Location. I Returned to this Practice last Month. Glad I did. I Brought one of my Cats in because she didn't seem right. I suspected she needed Dental work. we Saw DR. Emily Gerhard. she Examined "Ashley" gave us an estimate with high and Low. so I went ahead and scheduled Surgery for Ashley. I'm Glad I returned to the Practice. I think DR. Gerhard is a valuable asset to the Practice, Team and Her patients. Ashley was Well taken care of. DR Gerhard did a Wonderful job with her Dentistry! They Took Good care of her through the Whole Procedure. The Doctor called before she Started the surgery to let me know how Ashley is doing. Called after the Procedure to let me know everything went well. The Techs assisting the Doctor where Very Nice as well. I Could see that Ashley felt comfortable with them and they made her feel at ease. The only thing I wasn't super happy about is they wanted a Cardio work up before surgery. Ashley has a Hear Murmur. not a Big one, but she does Have one. While They didn't require it, I decided to have it done. since Ashley is older now than last time she had surgery. her Cardio came back great. so that should be good for several years at least. (Hopefully) $900.00 for that work up. Still, if the cat didn't make it through Surgery I never would have forgiven myself! Ashley is Doing Great Now. she is almost like a different Cat. eating a lot. seems more emotional too. Sensitive Cat. I Hope DR. Emily Gerhard Stays with the Practice. I really Like her and she's a great Veterinarian Doctor!

My cat had bite wound that perforated his skin at two spots near to each other. The cat would…read morescratch it with his paw making it bigger so I went to a local Vet Hospital in PetSmart just to be asked to pay almost $500 for a few sutures, antibiotic and some related services. I refused this. Later, we decided we have to neuter him to make him less aggressive so that the wound could heal easier. We have learned about the Faith Veterinary Clinic that operates in Franklin Twp and took our cat for a low cost fix. When doctor Narala has seen the bite wound he offered to stich it for free. After 10 days he removed the sutures and in a few days we could take off the E-colar and now we have happy cat, again. Perhaps, the Vet clinic has saved our cat's life because it was difficult to keep him away from his wound despite our efforts to wrap him with bandages. Therefore, I would heartily recommend Faith Veterinary Clinic because they really love animals, they do not make their business just for the money. They are operating independently of the Township Animal shelter that shares the same address.

Losing two beloved dogs Casper and Elizabeth whom we had for 15 and 14 years within just two months…read morewas one of the most painful experiences of our lives. Through every step of that heartbreaking journey, Homecare Vet was there for us--not just as medical professionals, but as a source of compassion and comfort. Over the years (we have been going for over 15 years), they went above and beyond to care for our dogs, running thorough tests and always ensuring we had the information needed to make the best decisions. What stood out the most was their unwavering dedication, even as this practice grew. They never lost that personal touch--their kindness, patience, and expertise remained constant. When we faced emergencies, they were there. Dr Patti Maslanka even came after hours when Elizabeth needed to be put to sleep unexpectedly, creating a peaceful space where she could pass on surrounded by love. I could never repay this kindness. She, Dr. Schein, Dr. Schepp and technicians treated us and our pets with the utmost care, ensuring our dogs were as comfortable as possible in their final moments. It's rare to find a veterinary office that combines such skill with true heart. We are forever grateful to Homecare Vet for the compassion they showed during the happiest and hardest times. They made an unbearable process just a little bit easier, and that is something we will never forget.
