Dr. Infernuso absolutely nominated surgeon, who truly dedicates himself to his loving animals. Besides his professionalism and the level of his achievements, he is down to earth, full of empathy and compassion. You leave the place late night - he is there , you come back the following morning - he is there...May the god give him perfect health, emotional stability to continue his wonderful journey of life- save our lovely animals. The surgical center itself forfar the best experience I had with a veterinary team. read more

Tomas Infernuso, DVM , DACVS - The surgery was done by one of the best surgeons.. - Veterinarians Near Me

Cancer dog that was cancer free after amputating a leg a year after got diagnosed with sarcoma on his ear. Shocking news made me speechless and I did nothing but cried as I was not ready to put the dog to sleep other than treat. All the "BIG" vet clinics put you on a waiting list 3-4 weeks knowing the situation of the current condition. I called my brilliant person best board certified surgeon Dr. Infernuso at Animal Surgical Center on Ocean Side at the same day of diagnosis at 6:00 PM and the following morning at 7:30 AM I was scheduled for CT scan followed by the surgical procedure. I can't thank enough this doctor and his staff for all the care and support they gave me and my lovely Mishka. This is the second time experience I have at this clinic and want to bring this message to other dog owners and have them reach out to Dr. Tomas Infernuso with any of pets related concerns! read more

He is an arrogant vet who twice gave advice that could have killed my dog. After having CCL surgery my dog had numerous suture issues because they didn't dissolve....during one recheck I asked for antibiotics and was told he didn't need any....my own vet put my dog on antibiotics immediately. 7 months later the incision site was red and swollen....he told me again it was a suture and not to do anything...I knew it wasn't a suture 7 months after surgery and went back to my own vet who again prescribed high dose antibiotics...my poor dog eventually needed plate removal surgery from a severe infection which I had done in Riverhead....they were amazing...in addition my dog needed a 30 day regimen of antibiotics after surgery...9 pills a day...and Infernuso told me I I didn't have to worry....run to a different surgeon....i reported him to BBB and the state... read more

Dr. Infernuso is qualified, compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the animals he treat. My pets are extremely important to me and having a health provider that I can rely on is an incredible relief. I am forever grateful and would recommend Dr. Infernuso a million times over! read more

I spent the night in a hotel, so my dog could be on time for her surgery with Dr. Infernuso promptly at 8:00 am. My pug has a large fluid-filled mass on her abdomen that continues to grow. Based on what I saw online and from the reviews I thought he would do a brilliant job. I had a surgery scheduled and called his office twice the week before to confirm my appointment, then when I got to the hospital the lady said to me: "What are you doing here Dr. Infernuso does not have any surgeries scheduled today." Whoever does the scheduling at Dr. Infernuso's office Never Called the Hospital or scheduled the surgery at the hospital in Minneola to say we were coming** I took a car from Manhattan to a hospital in Minneola and spent the night at La Quinta so we could be there promptly at 8:00am (which I was).. Then when I called his office the girl told me to 'drop the dog' off he'll be there anytime from 9-11am (3 hour window) ?? that was never the plan. With no consultation? With a doctor I've never met. ? None of it makes any sense to me nor did the way I was treated. The lady at the front desk at that particular hospital was awful, condescending, rude and was completely clueless as to the schedule- when you add it altogether the whole thing made me very uncomfortable and scared. I'm sure Dr. I is brilliant but I am so upset and heartbroken every time I look at my dog- no doctor in the city is really in favor of even doing it at this point, citing her age and breed as being too high risk. Again, I know he is a great surgeon I have followed his surgeries online and all of them are incredible. Unfortunately I believe I am- go figure the only one here with a bad 'non-experience.' And as for my dog.. well, it's just sad. read more

Dr. Infernuso is AMAZING. Honestly, if you've experienced his work and his empathy, you know what I mean. In December 2015, Chevy, my 1 1/2 year old pit bull/lab mix was having a hard time walking up the stairs in my house and even jumping onto the couch. I took him to our usual vet who quickly diagnosed him with a floating kneecap and wanted me to book surgery with her surgeon friend who I wouldn't be able to meet for a consult before the surgery...nope, not happening. I asked the rescue org that I got Chevy through and they emphatically recommended Dr. Infernuso, so I arranged a consult. He's a travelling surgeon and works out of various Long Island vet hospital locations- I met him at Garden City Veterinary Hospital in Mineola. The consult fee is $200, but if you then proceed with surgery, that $200 is deducted from the surgery price. Dr. Infernuso was so caring, patient, and kind, as I had a million questions regarding Chevy's diagnoses (yes, plural). Chevy needed an MPL and FHO on his left leg. I HIGHLY recommend getting pet insurance before getting any consults (if you can wait, obviously) because the insurance covered much of the price of the surgery Chevy had. Dr. Infernuso called me to let me know when he was going into surgery, when he was done and the result, and followed up the next day. He also gives you DETAILED medication and recovery instructions to follow. Chevy had both surgeries in one shot, and we're still in the process of recovery before we do surgery on the other leg this summer. We can't wait for Chevy to be a normal pup that can run around again! Dr. Infernuso has my highest recommendation- I would drive from anywhere to have him perform surgery on any of my pets. **There's a comment below about the scheduling and promptness of appointments, and I do understand the frustration, but you also have to remember that Dr. Infernuso does emergency surgeries on the fly, so, sometimes emergencies happen and he needs to be somewhere. His work is amazing though, and worth waiting if he does have an emergency case. read more

Dr Infernuso is an amazing person as well as a skilled surgeon. During CoV when most hospitals were backed up, he made room for my dog to have hip surgery in 24 hours. His care and concern for the well being of my dog were second to none. My dog had a complicated case, she had been hit by a car years ago, before I rescued her, and already had pins in her hip that dislodged. If Dr. Infernuso could operate on me, and fix my knee as well as he fixed my dogs hip, I'd be as good as new like she is. Thank you Dr Infernuso and staff. read more

I am pet-obsessed. I admit it. I cry at the idea of my Cairn Terrier "Suzy" being ill. So when my lil' darlin' Suzy needed an extreme surgery, I needed a surgeon that could go above and beyond... I had been blessed to meet Dr. Tomas Infernuso - one of the top veterinary surgeons! Dr. Infernuso has a wonderful reputation as a highly skilled and talented surgeon. You can immediately tell he has a genuine passion for his profession and prides himself in making sure the owners are well informed and prepared for the surgery. I cannot thank his team enough for saving Suzy's life. Suzy had a tumor that was growing so fast, it was taking over all the space in her little body. Dr. Infernuso, who was so kind and straightforward, gave me all the info I needed in a very honest way to make hard decisions. Suzy is 10 years old, but otherwise healthy. The surgery was going to be costly and risky but given Suzy's happy demeanor and otherwise health, the Dr. decided to take a chance on Suzy. Dr. Infernuso was more than fair with cost and fees. He is not about breaking banks, he is about saving lives... Dr Infernuso pulled a huge mass out of Suzy. The removal off this mass also included removing a damaged ureter and kidney along with reconstructing her colon. This Dr. is so gifted at what he does. Amazing. I just cannot thank Dr. Infernuso enough. The care Suzy received was absolutely top notch. Suzy was hospitalized for three days being taken care of so skillfully after surgery by the Dr. and Nurse. They both texted and called me often to update me about Suzy's condition. They had walked me through the after care process as well. I will recommend Dr. Infernuso a zillion times over, I will forever be grateful for the extra time he took to keep my sweet baby alive.I am looking at her now playing. She is happy. That means everything to me. Thank you so much, Dr. Infernuso! read more

This is the only place to take your dog. I took my beagle here for ear canal removal surgery. Dr Infernuso took his time explaining the procedure in simple terms where we felt confident leaving her. The staff was incredible, calling us after surgery with updates. After picking her up I received a call an hour later making sure we made it home ok, and the next two days checking on her. My own doctor does not check on me that much. The staff is probably the best I have every come across. Two weeks later I took her back for a follow up. Dr Infernuso took out the stitches and patiently answered all my questions. I felt the price was much lower then I expected for the service i received. After my experience I would NOT go anyplace else. read more

If you are reading this review right now consider yourself so lucky that you have found Dr. Infernuso!! I was referred to Dr. Infernuso 8 years ago by a dog rescue group who sang his praises. My dog had IVDD and needed to have major back surgery. I traveled to Queens where Dr. Infernuso worked at the time. The location wasn't convenient for me but I heard he was the best and I wasn't going to have anyone other than the best perform back surgery on my baby. And I'm so glad I did because Dr. Infernuso performed this difficult surgery with amazing results. There was a risk of my dog becoming paralyzed from the surgery and I was so so scared. Not only did he not become paralyzed but after a few months of recovery he was running around again like a puppy. Post surgery Dr. Infernuso was with me along every step of the way during his long recovery. He always took my calls (and there were many) and was just so gracious. Someone else may have gotten annoyed with all of the frantic mom phone calls but he wasn't. Fast forward 8 years later my other dog Charlie who is now a senior had to have a parathyroidectomy. He's 14 years old. I was scared because he's so old but I knew that if I took him to Dr. Infernuso who now has his own practice on Long Island (which again wasn't convenient for me since I live in Manhattan) that he would be in the best of hands. And he was. My Charlie is now recovering wonderfully from the surgery. Not only is Dr. Infernuso the best surgeon, he has a warm and comforting bedside manner and a true love for animals. I know from research and from word of mouth that he has done and continues to do a lot of work for rescue animals out of the kindness of his heart and for the love he has for animals. It is abundantly clear that not only is his work amazing but for him it truly is a labor of love. I would drive my pup to the end of the earth to see Dr. Infernuso if my dog ever needed surgery again. read more

Tomas Infernuso is a blessing. When my dog had to have both eyes removed, he didn't hesitate to take on the case and did do with patience and compassion. It is because of Dr. Infernuso that our beautiful girl has lived an amazing 8 more happy and issue free years. We expect many more to come. So many don't take on the difficult cases, the ones with potential for issues. I highly recommend Dr.Infernuso to care for your pet. Trust him completely as you are in caring and knowledgeable hands! He's an angel to these animals!!!! read more

Dr. Infernuso is an outstanding doctor and person. He is so compassionate and genuinely cares for every animal he treats. My puppy has had several health issues since we adopted her and Dr. Infernuso has helped us with multiple surgeries. He has saved us money when other places quoted us too high. He even calls to check up on my dog. I wont ever take our girl anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Infernuso for all that you do. read more

I work for a rescue and shelter and Dr Infernuso is the first we call for any major surgical cases. He has helped at least 20 of our animals and all have had successful outcomes. The most amazing case was a 3 month old puppy we saved from the NYC kill shelter after he was found tied up with a fractured elbow. The fracture was over a week old when he came to us and the shelter vet suggested amputation as the only option. Dr Infernuso quickly looked at the scans and booked surgery immediately, despite it being the day before Thanksgiving. Huck made it through surgery and after several weeks of crate rest, was able to walk normally. He was adopted by a wonderful family 2 years ago and is now living a completely happy life with all four legs, thanks to Dr Infernuso. read more

I met Dr Infernuso in 2013 through a recommendation from a friend. My dog Sammy at the time was dragging her foot a bit. I thought neurological. Dr Infernuso came to my house took a 5 minute look at Sammy's walking and gave me the terrible news that she would be fully paralyzed within a year from degenerative myelopathy. Terrible news but amazing how he knew so quickly. Within the year she was paralyzed unfortunately. She hung on a few years with a cart but passed in September of 2015. That's when we got Charlie. A pit bull with severe hip dysplasia. Who else would I call? Dr Infernuso fixed both hips, communicated throughout the whole process, checked in often and just made us feel good about recovery. 3 months later Charlie is great! I still speak with Dr Infernuso often and send him pics and videos! He is the best! read more

Tomas Infernuso, DVM , DACVS - Charlie post op - Veterinarians Near Me

My 5 y/o Female Spayed Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix has a condition called luxating patellas where the kneecap does not stay in place and shifts (usually to the medial aspect, or inside of the leg) rubbing up against the cartilage covering the bones of the femur and tibia / fibula, causing inflammation in the joints if left unchecked. I waited and waited until I noticed Lady La'Lique limping and reluctant to bear weight on the leg. This is when I knew it was time for action and the first person on my list was Dr. Infernuso. He was prompt, very serious about all aspects of the surgery from sterility to pain management. Dr. Infernuso was spot on when it came to the prognosis and recovery time. I followed his instructions to the tee and I am glad to say that Lady La'Lique is bearing weight and running around like nothing happened to her. Unfortunately, I have to get the other leg fixed but the one person that I'm going to turn to is Dr. Infernuso! Dr. Infernuso's prices are very fair and even cheap when it comes to the prices quoted to me by other veterinarians in the area. I agree with other yelpers when they say that he cares about his patients. He doesn't just look at them as, "...oh, let me just cut, get my money and leave." He asked me several times about La' Lique's status and has a genuine concern regarding the health of his cases. Experienced, skilled, caring, reasonable, and above all, HONEST are the words I would use to describe Dr. Infernuso. In my humble opinion, he is one of the best surgeons on Long Island, I would even dare to say in the state of NY. Dr. Infernuso comes WELL RECOMMENDED! read more

My advice to every reader: get a second opinion before you let this vet. Cuts your dog or cat. Dr. Infernuso wanted to perform a surgery on my dogs knee which he didn't need. It was gonna cost me way over $5000, but thank god I went to an honest vet who said there was no need for any surgery. My dog is running and walking again as nothing ever happened and without any surgery nor therapy. read more

Amazing human being, amazing surgeon. Truly cares about your pet getting better. The prices are very reasonable. Dr. Infernuso accommodated my cat last minute, and thankfully my cat is doing much better. Would definitely recommend him. The drive to see him is worthwhile. read more

Dr. Infernuso saved my dog, my child's life. I will be forever grateful, and always recognize him as the surgeon, the doctor, and the man for whom is responsible for Fenton (my 8 year old chocolate lab) being alive today. Fenton came in as a referral for same day emergency surgery. He bordered on living or dying, and to be honest, his chances were not in his favor. Dr. Infernuso saw, examined and determined immediately after that Fenton needed surgery at that moment. We could not wait. One hour and a half later, the surgery was successful but my baby was still 'not out at f the woods'. He was hospitalized then for three days, and received 24/7 round the clock care. I received updates three times per day, including calls with each shift change. Two weeks later, Fenton has received a miraculous post-op evaluation. This would not have happened had it not been for Dr. Infernuso, his level of expertise, professionalism, care and support for Fenton. He and his team went above and beyond. In my eyes, Fenton had the best care possible with the most competent team of professionals in this field. I will remain forever grateful to all at the Animal Hospital Surgical Center. With much gratitude, Allison H. Hisler read more

Dr. Infernuso is a miracle! He saved our cat who needed liver shunt surgery and charged less than half of any other specialist on Long Island. His follow up care was undoubtedly better than any you will ever experience. He calls every day, arranges care at local offices and would have come to our home if needed. He is talented, fairly priced and great at diagnosing as well. Wish I found him sooner, but he saved our Timmy Cat nonetheless. Love him!! read more

Tomas Infernuso, DVM , DACVS - Veterinarians Near Me

Dr. Infernuso was called in to perform emergency surgery on my Cocker Spaniel, an adult rescue dog. TinkerBell had a paralyzed larynx which could have collapsed and suffocated her. Instead, he was able to tie back half her epiglottis, keeping her airway open and enabling her to breathe. That was a month ago. Today, Tink is better than ever. She runs and jumps and eats and plays and is happy. So am I. Dr. Infernuso saved her life and gave me my dog back......and I've never even met him. Thank you so much. You are a miracle worker! read more

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr. Infernuso or Christina and his whole staff. They not only care about the patients but their owners as well! Superb surgeon, who takes the time and effort to make sure you understand the surgical problem and correction and is there for all the after care questions! A beautiful waiting room and office in East Meadow! I wouldn't have surgery on my pet done anywhere else! Don't think twice or hesitate you and your pet won't be disappointed! read more

The worst experience I ever had with a vet. My Persian kitten has brachycephalic syndrome. As a result, her respirations were very harsh, and she always sounded like her nose was stuffed. The vet at East Meadow, part of the South Bellmore Vet Group, suggested a consult with Dr Infernuso. My kitten was to have repair of stenotic nares by Dr Infernuso. After the xrays were sent to Dr Infernuso, Dr Infernuso stated he wanted more xrays of the sinuses. He refused to do the surgery without them done. Then I brought the cat to the North Shore Animal Hospital,also part of the South Bellmore Vet Group. Dr Rosen stated that his own dog needed surgery and he would talk to Dr Infernuso. Dr Rosen said Infernuso doesn't like to come for one surgery. The cat was brought in a few days later for the surgery. A few hours later, I got a call from Dr Infernuso, He said the cat had laryngeal collapse grade 2, suspicion for laryngeal paralysis, and epiglottis adhesions , and other issues. He suggested a more expensive surgery...a tracheal tieback. A risky procedure, where the cat can aspirate. He also suggested I get another opinion from vets he knew in Manhattan. After that he would perform the surgery. Enough....I went to a medical internist in Farmingdale, and the surgery was performed there..The internal medicine vet in Farmingdale said, there wasn't any laryngeal collapse and trachea was not in need of a tie back. There wasn't any laryngeal paralysis. The cat had a small nose and couldn't get enough air in. The small nose was causing the problems, and only a simple procedure was needed. The vet in Farmingdale charged me $400. Meanwhile, Dr Infernuso wanted $1500 just for the surgery. The total bill if I did the surgery with Dr Infernuso at the South Bellmore Group was $2400. At Farmingdale it was $1100. Also, if I agreed to have the tie back procedure, as Dr Infernuso suggested, it would be even more expensive...at least another $1000 in addition to the $2400 bill. The kitten is now fine. The surgery Dr Infernuso suggested and the consult in Manhattan weren't necessary. Fortunately I went to the specialist in Farmingdale. My kitten would have been subjected to unnecessary procedures and a lot of suffering if I didn't read more

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Infernuso! He provided five star care to our dog for his hip surgery. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable about the whole process of what to expect from start to finish. His staff is also very friendly and attentive, which helps to know your pet is in great hands throughout the whole time of care. I have been to other specialists before and he is by far the best! He saved me over $3000 compared to another specialty hospital on Long Island. He really cares about each pet he takes care of! read more

Dr. Infernuso is nothing short of incredible. Today he performed pro bono surgery on a cat found outside my animal clinic (The Animal Clinic of Hollis Court). He gave this cat an opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life out of the goodness of his own heart. On top of that, he is an incredible surgeon who really knows the profession inside and out. I would recommend Dr. Infernuso to anyone looking for a specialty surgeon. He is the best of the best! read more

Tomas Infernuso, DVM , DACVS - Veterinarians Near Me

We recently met/worked with Dr. Tomas Infernuso at the Animal Hospital in East Meadow. We were referred to Dr. Tomas by a good friend but were hesitant to take the trip to East Meadow from Northport. Our small Yorkie was bleeding from the rectum and in what seemed to be an extreme amount of pain. We were hesitant to take the trip which turned out to be super easy. We made it there in under 30 minutes because the hospital is literally right off the parkway. I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the center. Each and every person we came into contact with (receptionists, medical assistants, etc) were super professional, friendly and definitely put our minds at ease. We were also impressed by how quickly we met/saw Dr. Infernuso. His attention to detail and compassion for our sick Yorkie exceeded our expectations. He was just finishing up with an operation and took the time to come and introduce himself and to start helping our dog who was in severe distress. Dr. Inernuso's assistant, Christine, was equally as impressive. Needless to say, 10 days later, and our 7 pound Yorkie is well on her way on the road to recovery. We can't thank this team and hospital enough, but we hope that this review illustrates our gratitude. We appreciate all of your kindness and concern and will definitely be reaching out if we ever find ourselves in a similar situation. read more

My cat Gracie just had a difficult tail amputation with Dr Infernuso. I can't speak highly enough of him and his team. I work in the Veterinary field so I am very particular and they more than impressed me. He came as a recommendation and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as well. The person answering the phones is one of the best experiences of customer service I have had. She was always pleasant and patient with all my questions even when you could tell she was so busy. Most of all this is a Dr who is truly passionate about he does and cares about not only the animals but also the clients. My cat is doing amazing after the surgery. I would highly recommend them, I hope I don't need to have another surgery for my animals but if I do I will not hesitate to go back to him. He will be my choice for any surgery. I live in Brooklyn and traveled to Long Island for the surgery and well worth it. read more

Dr. Infernuso gave my dog a new life. My dog is an olde English bulldog who was only 2 years old when he started to limp. I took him to a local vet, who diagnosed him with a torn ACL and recommended surgery to implant an artificial ligament. The night before his surgery, I decided to cancel it because I felt the need to get a second opinion. My online search brought me to Dr. Terry Eylers at North Shore Animal Hospital, who recommended Dr. Tomas Infernuso, a board certified orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Infernuso's exam and X-rays showed a torn ACL on one side and partial tear on the other, as well as arthritis in both hips. He recommended TPLO and FHO for the right knee and hip, rest for several months before he performs the same surgery on the other side. He advised against implanting an artificial ligament, which would likely require additional surgeries. Dr. Infernuso's expertise and dedication to his work was apparent from my first meeting with him. I decided to put my dog's life in his hands. My dog had his first surgery in Nov 2014 and his second and final surgery in May 2015. He is now running and walking without limping! I am forever grateful to Dr. Infernuso and Dr. Eylers, who referred me to him and became a great vet for my dog until her departure from NSAH a few months ago. Dr. Infernuso improved the quality of my dog's life, which is filled with happiness again. Thank you Dr. Infernuso. read more

Dr. Infernuso helped one of our stray kittens walk again. We took in a stray kitten that was hit by a car and had two broken front legs and a broken jaw. Her legs were initially infected and so we were concerned about the potential need for her legs to require amputations. However, Dr. Infernuso didn't give up on her and after multiple surgeries, the kitten was able to walk on her front legs again! We were able to find her a loving home as well after a few months of recovery and rehabilitation. Thank you Dr. Infernuso for your kindness and for giving her a chance at a better future. read more

The past 24 months have been very tough for my dog and my family. We had been duped by a previous Vet for a surgery with a very poor success rate. The outcome of this surgery was a disaster. When we started looking for another Vet we came across Dr Infernuso's yelp page. I was blown away by his feed back from previous clients. You could feel how grateful they were in their responses about their experience. We knew we had to reach out to him. We emailed him at 10:30pm on a Friday night detailing what we had been through. You know what he did? He called us that night on a Friday after working all week. He saw my dog that following Monday and examined him and really helped us understand what he had been through as well as a realistic recovery process. Dr Infernuso continued to exam our Pet to figure out our game plan to give our pet the best quality of life. There were so many times that he would refuse to take money from us. This is a person who TRULY cares about your pet and understands how important they are to your family. I cannot stress this enough. He is not looking to club you over the head with massive bills like so many other Vets. The reality is he is worthy of paying a premium for his service but he chooses to help people which is a rarity. Our pet recently had an FHO procedure and he is doing fantastic. Dr Infernuso is a great Vet and we have a 150% confidence in him and will always use him in the future. On top of being a great vet he is a great person with an incredible bed side manner. I would have to agree with Diana B that Dr Infernuso was meant to be a Vet. This is his calling. read more

It is my pleasure to add a review for Dr. Infernuso for taking care of my lab who recently had to have acl and meniscus surgery on her hind leg. Our original diagnosis was very bleak when we were told that our 3 yr old lab had severe hip displasia and acl tear and it would be our worst nightmare for her. Dr. Infernuso assured us that taking care of the acl would afford her a wonderful life. With trust in place, we agreed to the acl surgery which also exposed the second tear. Today, the hip diplasia is not a concern. She is walking and playing just like before! Thank you Dr. I! read more

Dr Infernuso is the most gentle, caring surgeon I have ever met! He stayed an extra two hours last night to perform emergency surgery on my dog. He was supposed to leave at 8pm and ended up staying until after 10. Dr Infernuso made sure I understood everything going on and was extremely communicative even throughout the surgery. He genuinely cares about my baby and made me feel safe and secure that my boy was getting the best care possible. I am honored to know him and my baby is alive and well due to his expert care. Thank you Dr. Infernuso!!!!! read more

It is difficult to find your calling in life. I can tell you Dr. Infernuso has found his. My Italian Greyhound, Shadow, broke her left leg which required surgery. I initially took her elsewhere and was literally being charged a leg. Eventually, I had to discharge her because it was too expensive. Dr. Infernuso was referred to me by one of his wonderful colleagues. When I spoke with him over the phone I immediately felt at ease. He confirmed this injury is very typical for IGs and explained the science behind the break. He also laid out the recovery plan for her. Upon visiting the office, I knew I was at the right place. The office support team always reveals many things about its happiness and functionality. It was approximately 6:30pm, I found a happily bustling office; not one where people were clock watching. Everyone I interacted with was beyond professional, extremely helpful and very eager to keep me at ease. I observed their enthusiasm for other clients and patients. They are there because they enjoy what they do. I found the waiting area to be spacious, very clean and comfortable. I enjoyed looking at the hand painted pictures of the dogs in the field. The private rooms were also maintained in the same fashion. They were tastefully decorated with calming color schemes. When Dr. Infernuso came in, I knew he was the surgeon Shadow needed. He explained the procedure and showed me where the plates would go. He also provided realistic insights into the recovery time line. He laid out the restrictions Shadow had to adhere to while her leg healed. Although, he had just returned from doing an emergency tracheotomy on another patient, he stated the surgery would be done that evening. He assured me she would be fine and enlisted one of his nurses to stay the night with her. He called me at 10:00pm and very excitedly revealed the surgery was a success! He advised me to keep my phone on just in case they needed to reach me during the evening. The next day he called me to let me know Shadow did well during the night and was ready to go home. He provided follow-up instructions and assured me she was on the path to recovery. It has been six months since Shadow had her surgery. She has been able to return to being a normal high speed IG! Anyone who knows Shadow can't believe she suffered a double fracture. She runs, jumps and plays as if nothing out of the ordinary occurred. I will always be grateful to Dr. Infernuso for his skill and compassion. I am so glad the universe connected me to his colleague, without him, none of this would have been possible. If your pet needs a miracle, Dr. Infernuso is likely the one who can deliver it to you. read more

Dr. Infernuso recently removed a large perianal adenoma from our senior dog, Annie. Within moments of meeting him and discussing a game plan, my husband and I knew our baby was in wonderful hands. Not only is Dr. Infernuso highly skilled, personable, and compassionate, but he also steers you away from the unnecessary blood work and testing that other vets tend to push to add line-items to your bill. Needless to say, the surgery went seamlessly, and he and his staff followed up twice with us to check in on her after the fact. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Infernuso took great care of my dog a Diesel, who need hip and knee surgery. He's a wonderful Doctor.

Dr. Infernuso is an awesome vet surgeon who is compassionate, thorough and extremely talented at what he does. He performed 2 surgeries on my dog Ben, both of which were successful and gave Ben comfort and a better life. Dr. Infernuso made himself available to answer as many questions as I had prior to and after the surgeries, explained exactly what he was going to do and what the post surgery outcome will be. He comes VERY well recommended and I would not hesitate to bring my dog back to him and would urge anyone who is reading this review to give Dr. Infernuso a call if your pet needs surgery; you will not regret it! read more

Dr. Infernuso is such an amazing Dr. In all aspects. Not only did he explain my dogs procedure to me but he was always there to reassure me post surgery that my dogs recovery steps were going well. I've dealt with many animal Dr.s in the past and I have to say I have never had such a pleasant experience as I have had with him. I would highly recommend him. Get his opinion and you will see for yourself. Thanks Dr. Infernuso for helping Scooby not only surgically but with your special compassionate touch that I have never experienced with any animal Dr. In the past. Don't ever change. read more

Dr. Infernuso was there for the sweetest pup I walk. He suddenly couldn't walk and it was late in the day. Dr. Infernuso welcomed him in, was incredibly attentive and even performed emergency surgery that evening. He calmed my friend and reassured her her pup would be ok and walked her through the process. It's wonderful to know there are still some Dr's out there who put the pups first, above all else and take the time to care for their very frightened parents. I would recommend Dr. Infernuso to all of my pet loving friends. Thank you for saving my pup friend. I only wish I could give more stars than 5!!! read more

I was concerned that my 120 lb., deep-chested, 2-year-old Akita, Menace, might be prone to Gastric dilatation and volvulus (also known as GDV or "bloat") which can often be a sudden life-threatening emergency that big dog owners are often confronted with. When I learned that Dr. Infernuso performs a minimally invasive surgical procedure known as Laparoscopic Gastropexy that could protect my dog from developing GDV, I brought Menace to see him. Dr. Infernuso is nothing short of amazing! He is highly skilled at the most complex of surgeries, and just wonderful with pets and their owners. Dr.infernuso explains the procedure in a way that easy to understand. I had the utmost confidence in Dr. Infernuso's skill and experience Menace came through the outpatient laparoscopic procedure just fine. And I now have the peace of mind that we have given my dog the best protection available against the often-fatal GDV! read more

Tomas Infernuso, DVM , DACVS - Thank you! - Veterinarians Near Me

Had this specialist come in to perform surgery on my pet at my vet office/hospital. Was told not very risky. He never spoke to me before the surgery, only after the surgery while driving in his car. Two days later my pet is in critical condition and dying. Not one phone call from this "specialist" - Three days after surgery my beloved, best friend, love of my life passes away and never a phone call to even offer the slightest condolences. It takes a warm person to deal with our loved pets. Empathy.....not! This man is not all he's cracked up to be. read more

Dr. Infernuso is an amazing surgeon. He has worked on all of my pets. I have 2 Central Asian Shepherd dogs and the cutest cat in the world! He did surgery on my dog Marcus about 5 years ago for bloat and torsion. Then my dog Jasmine tore her ACL which he also reparied flawlessly. Unfortunately she tore the ACL in her other leg 7 weeks later, which is common. He repaired that as well. Then comes the cat with his urinary blockage that was so bad his urethra was damaged and Dr. infernuso had to perform a perineal urethrostomy. All surgeries he performed were perfect, recovery time was quick and my fur babies were all happy and healthy after! I recommend Dr. Infernuso over and over again. His compassion for animals is incredible and his passion for his profession is over the top. read more
