    I absolutely love Dr Sobel and so do my Ragdolls. She is very loving with my babies and very informative with me. I am a very very picky cat mom and I trust her. She is also the most reasonably priced in the Southern Tier. It's worth the drive to their new location.

    My pup and I are so happy we found this place! Making an appointment for a new patient exam was…read moreeasy and we were able to have my dog seen in a reasonable amount of time. The interior of the building is very pretty. They have a comfortable waiting area with animal themed tv content playing. The receptionist was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Dr. Durham was gentle and knowledgeable. Her and her tech spent a lot of time with us during the exam. They were thorough and treated my dog with care. The tech was kind enough to educate my husband and I on how to clip our dog's nails ourselves rather than us paying for it. We had routine bloodwork done on a Friday night and I had an email with the results first thing Monday morning. We found the prices to be very reasonable. We feel like our sweet dog is in good hands here. Highly recommend!

We…read moreweren't sure if our regular vet would be able to fit us in so we took the first opening at vestal. Not 30 seconds into the examination, the vet starts to palpate our dogs stomach and has a dramatic reaction. She stops what she's doing and tells us that our dog tensed her stomach muscles when she went to feel her abdomen and that it's VERY concerning! She then goes on to say that she thinks our dog could have a stomach tumor and has possibly spread to her brain which would explain her acting unusually. WHAT???!?she was recommending a bunch of x-rays. not only was her tone very patronizing and arrogant, but she barely even evaluated our dog. she jumped to the most dramatic and horrifying conclusion and told it to us like it was the most likely outcome. i immediately shut down emotionally from hearing such traumatic news and basically said we were leaving. from the examination room we called our regular vet and asked if we could get in. they had a spot open so we left vestal and went to our real vet appointmenT. as always our vet took her time with our dog and examined her thoroughly. she said there was nothing wrong with her stomach and determined that she was having a bad reaction to garlic which she had accidentally gotten a small piece of the night before. within 12 hours she was completely back to norma! the absolute arrogance and know-it-all behavior of that young vet (can't remember her name) is appalling! 0/10 do not recommend

    I have brought a variety of dogs to Dr. B over the years, starting in Johnson City. The care and…read moreexpertise she provides is second to none. She's brilliant and has always gone above and beyond for my crew. I frequent surrounding specialty hospitals because I have complicated medical/special need's dogs. I appreciate Dr. B's understanding that it takes a village to support these special needs dogs and is always willing to collaborate with other vet professionals. I always find myself coming back for Dr. B's opinion and care. She is willing to seek alternative therapies and never bats an eye at a complicated case. I appreciate her years of experience, attention to detail and her commitment in staying up-to-date with vet med advancements. I think one of the most important things about her, is that she truly understands/trusts that you know your pet the best - she actually listens and always takes your opinion into consideration when seeking the best treatment options. She understands that each animal is an individual and there is no "one size fits all" when formulating her treatment plan. She loves to educate and will answer all of your questions in a kind, non-condescending way. When asking her questions/opinions, she is always direct and to the point, but never harsh in her answers. This review is long overdue. Dr. B has helped me through a lot of scary times... emergency surgeries, cancer treatments, kidney failure, a rare urinary disorder, endocrine disorders, chronic skin issues and respiratory diseases on top of routine vaccines, bloodwork and dentals. Her scope of knowledge is wide and our area is lucky to have her as a resource. Her heart is genuine and she truly cares for each of her patients like she would her own. Thank you, Dr. B! We love you lots!!

The company is Merck and it is a Nobivac Lepto 4. The serial number 02171339 exp 6/3/27. The Leptospirosis vaccine was administered by Dr. Beaulieu and she did not document this or report it until 02/11/2026 after I raised hell. I just got off the phone with Merck and the gentleman told me they just called two hours ago to report it. I was under the impression this was taken care off until I got in touch with Dickin and found out it had not. Not one professional in that office thought to raise their voice and do the right thing until I demanded it be done. Not even yesterday either when I was upset and standing up Skye and the other animals that may have had an adverse reaction. So how many got left unreported? This is frightening and unethical. My dog was perfectly healthy before I was talked into this garbage. She was even referred to a neurologist at Cornell. No one thought we should be an advocate for our animals. No STARS

    WORST VET IN BROOME CO. BY FAR! Brought my cat in, they told me "HIS LEG IS NOT BROKE". A month…read morelater, brought him back due to bump and leg not healed, and they told me his leg was broke and had been for a month!!!!!! They then tell me they never did an xray and it was my fault, i should have asked for one! When I told them I didn't ask for any xray because the dr. said on day i brought him in that it wasn't broke, I assumed they did an xray. Unbelievable! The son is not just socially awkward, he is the farthest thing from a vet you can imagine. His father has to come into the room and speak for him and try and "FIX" his mistakes. if you want your pet misdiagnosed, bring them to this faciility. What a joke!

    I agree with the reviews that Cindy and Nick had left. The vets, especially the so called "vet" Dr…read more Joshua is a horrible and non empathetic vet. The only reason he got the job is because his father, Dr. H, and his mother, Debbie, own the practice. That's nepotism right there. At least, some of the nurses, have more empathy and compassion for the pets and their owners, than Dr. Horowitz and his son, Joshua. Like most doctors, they already have one foot out the door. On our latest visit, Joshua, only saw our dog for barely even 5 minutes. Listened to his heart and touched him in a few spots and then ordered some tests and out the door he went. Didn't care to listen to what was going on with our pet and was actually even rude. I considered making a complaint to the office manager but it's useless, since as mentioned above, his father and mother own the practice. Of course, they will side with their own son. Dr Joshua is also not very knowledgeable. When asked, what was wrong with our dog, he answers it could be multiple things. Even we knew that. Granted, yes it's hard to discern without doing some comprehensive tests but at least show some compassion and don't berate the pet owners and take some time to listen to the concerns of the pet owners. But I guess nowadays they'll let anybody become vets. All in all, if I could leave negative stars, I would have.

We were told he would be sent to the crematory Friday morning, March 28, 2025 and that we could pick up his ashes today, April 1, 2025. Today, April 1, 2025 we were told that his body had just been sent to the crematory due to some alleged miscommunication with the crematory and it would be another week before we could pick up his ashes. If this is some sick April Fool's day joke, I AM NOT AMUSED! I find it unbelievable that no one noticed on Friday March 28 that there was still one deceased cat left behind. No one noticed this on Monday, March 31. Yet amazingly today, the day my husband and I were told we could pick up our baby's remains someone finally noticed he wasn't sent when he was suppose to be sent. Amazingly his remains were sent today - and we will be able to pick up the remains in another week. Funny, if he had been sent down on Friday his remains would have been available in 5 days. Because he was allegedly sent down today, it is 7 days. Now I seriously doubt if I will receive his ashes or if any ashes I receive are actually his. I was lied to twice when I was told that I could pick up his remains on Tuesday April 1, 2025. The pain and suffering this has caused me is indescribable. Not only did I lose my beloved cat of 14 years, but now I will never know if (or maybe I should say when) I receive the remains if they are really Tommy's ashes. Rest assured I will NEVER bring an animal to these liars again. I will also strongly recommend that ALL my friends with animals NEVER patronize this place. I paid good money to have my baby cremated. And I was lied to. Now I don't even know if I will ever get HIS ashes or if it will be some other animals ashes. Thanks so much for adding to my grief and pain with your incompetent service.
