We were on vacation when we and Dr. Leister received the horrific news that our Beautiful boy was gone. Dr. Leister handled everything for us and convinced us to stay on vacation, since there was nothing more we could do. We picked up Brodie's ashes and again the staff and Dr. Leister gave us time to talk, cry, ask questions and simply be there for our family. If it wasn't for Animal Hospital of Nesconset helping us through this time, I'm not sure how we would have gotten through this sudden loss. Many hugs and thank you's to Dr. Leister and her staff. We give them the highest possible recommendation as a veterinary hospital.

Throughout that time, they were always patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. When it was finally time to say goodbye, they handled everything with the utmost kindness. They gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes, never rushing us, and treated both our dog and our family with such warmth and respect. Their empathy made an incredibly difficult moment just a little bit easier. If you're looking for a vet who truly cares about both pets and their people, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Coiro and the Smithaven Veterinary Hospital. They are exceptional!

The facility is impressively clean and well cared for. The only thing more impressive is how friendly and caring the staff if. They quickly got to know us and our dogs by name and always call the day after a visit to check on the boys. Dr. Shuman is who we always see and we love him as do our 2 dogs. He is great with them and goes above and beyond to keep the visit a positive experience. He truly cares about the guys and gives them a through exam and always takes his time with them. We've had a few "emergencies" and even a surgery at their office due to a certain "rock hound" eating a rock and obstructing. They took great care of our boy and we always felt we could call or run back if we had to. The cost of service isn't the cheapest in town, but it isn't the most expensive either. Based on the service, staff and technology they employ it's a great value. I wish they had emergency hours but I do understand that is whole other level of costs and staffing so I don't fault them at all. If you need someone you can trust to care for your fur family give them a call.

We kept calling to let them know he wasn't eating and they kept charging us to get him other food and keep doing the medications. In short, he passed away not even two weeks later. When my partner went to return the kidney food (as they told us to do), someone at the front told him "people don't realize how serious Lyme disease is", as if we weren't taking the necessary steps to prevent this. He told them he wished the vet informed us enough of the lethality and risks of Lyme disease. The emergency vet ER nearby treated my dog more fairly than this vet did.

I called there as they were there with the cat and said I'd pay the balance but I was away and couldn't pay right this second. I had been there before with multiple animals, as a matter of fact I was charged over $400 to drain my dogs ear mass and was quoted less. They said my family is not welcome there anymore when I questioned their ethics. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE WHAT THEY QUOTE AND WHAT THEY CHARGE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! PLUS THEIR WAY OF DOING BUSINESS IS REALLY WRONG! There was no problem in making the payment...they just would allow me the opportunity to finish up what I was doing at work to get it done. Bottom line I paid it online $313.00 and will now seek out who holds their license or whatever agency I can contact regarding their business practices. They prey on the hearts of people who love their pets. FULL DISCLOSURE AT IT'S WORST FOLKS! BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

I highly recommend this Animal Hospital. I think the Care is superior and the people that work there are just warm and caring and it's everything you want in a vet hospital to take care of the animals that you love so much. I Highly recommend Setauket Animal Hospital.

To know that we have a talented, truly caring and empathetic partner in our canine's care is positively critical, and ever so much appreciated!!

I had one of the most upsetting veterinary experiences of my life at this practice…read more The male vet (Dr Femino I believe) entered the room abruptly, which immediately made my dog (who is naturally nervous) start barking and cower next to me. Instead of taking a moment to let her settle or approaching calmly, he immediately said, "I'm getting a muzzle." I explained that she has never worn a muzzle before and has never bitten anyone -- she just barks when she's anxious. I offered to put the muzzle on her myself since she trusts me. He refused and said he had to do it. When he returned with the muzzle, my dog became even more frightened and hid under my chair. I again said she would likely allow me to put it on since she trusts me. Even the vet assistant gently suggested that I try putting it on her, and he sharply responded "no" to her as well -- with no explanation. I expressed that I wasn't comfortable with him forcing it on her or going under the chair to wrestle her into it. His response was that I would need to reschedule. When I tried to clarify, he stood there staring at me in silence. I finally said, "Well, I guess I'll reschedule then," and he responded with "cool" and walked out of the room. The entire interaction felt dismissive, condescending, and unnecessarily aggressive. I understand that safety is important, but there was zero attempt at collaboration, communication, or compassion -- not toward me, my dog, or even his own assistant. I had previously seen a female vet at this practice who handled my nervous dog calmly and professionally without issue, so this experience was shocking. I left in tears. No pet owner should feel dismissed when advocating for their scared animal. I will not be returning.

We took him to another vet for a second opinion and they did thorough tests and found the only issue was that he had low blood sugar, we called kings park animal center to update them and they weren't remorseful or sorry. They were quite rude when we suggested they be more careful when advising to put down pets. I will not be taking my dog back and highly suggest other pet owners steer clear of this terrible place!
