I brought my 18-YEAR-OLD, NEUTERED MALE cat with congestive heart failure to Fresh Meadows Animal…read moreClinic for a scheduled echocardiogram. Instead, he was given pre-anesthetic medications and anesthesia for a SPAY procedure. Dr. Cohen later stated there had been a mix-up with another patient. When my mother picked him up, she was told by Dr. Cohen not to inform me of the incident (I have been in the field for ~15 years) and was discouraged from seeking care elsewhere. No post-procedure blood work or objective assessment was performed to ensure he was stable for discharge. We took him to a 24-hour emergency hospital, where he was found to be dehydrated, hypokalemic, and in acute kidney failure. He has since required multiple ER visits for vomiting, lethargy, and not eating, along with ongoing monitoring that has cost thousands of dollars. Dr. Cohen also stated he would not be taking action regarding the employee involved, citing that she had been "showing improvement," and added that she is pregnant. Regardless, verifying the correct patient prior to anesthesia is a fundamental responsibility of the veterinarian. If others have had similar experiences and are considering reporting concerns to the state veterinary licensing board, I encourage you to document everything and follow the appropriate formal complaint process. No pet or family should have to go through this.

I was heartbroken, but the staff at Little Neck Veterinary Care couldn't be more kind, compassionate, and understanding. We decided to bring her home, and let her live her life as comfortably as possible. About a week later we realized that Bacon's health was declining, and that it was time to say goodbye. This was extremely hard for me since I had Bacon before my daughter and my husband. The staff were so kind, and made the process as gentle on us as possible. They created a memorial keepsake with her paw print in sand. They also included patches of her fur, and they made sure to include all of her colors. Not only that, they sent a beautiful, handwritten sympathy card. I know it's old fashioned, but it also shows that they care. That action took time, and they didn't have to do that, but they did. I will take my other cats there, any future pets, and I'll recommend other pet parents to this vet.

THIS IS A LONG POST BUT PLEASE READ MAY SAVE YOUR PETS LIFE::::::…read moreI want to share my experience at Francis Animal Clinic. The doctor and staff were pleasant, and I did feel comfortable during the visit. However, I specifically brought my dog Cash in on 03/14 because he had a visibly distended abdomen. At that time, he had also started to show some increased breathing, which I mentioned, although it was not yet very pronounced. I clearly expressed my concerns during the appointment. I was told that he was fine, that his abdomen looked normal, and that he only needed a routine cleaning and vaccines, which I agreed to based on that professional reassurance. On 03/20, just days later, Cash's condition worsened and I rushed him to an animal hospital in Westbury. The following day, 03/21, I had to take him to a second hospital for further evaluation. Both veterinarians questioned how his symptoms--his distended abdomen and breathing changes--were not identified or further evaluated during his initial visit. I was then informed that Cash had an underlying heart condition that was already affecting his body. Learning that he had received multiple vaccines during that initial visit, while already showing concerning symptoms, has been extremely difficult to process. By 03/22/26, just eight days after being seen and reassured that he was "fine," Cash passed away. This has been devastating for me and my family. I will be consulting with legal counsel to further review this matter. I share this experience so other pet owners can be encouraged to seek thorough evaluations and ask detailed questions when something doesn't feel right. I posted a picture of Cash below before his visit. HIS BELLY IS DISTENDED.

Amazing care! I was here with a friend for a 4 month old…read morepuppy who was lethargic, vomiting, wobbling & had diarrhea. The puppy's regular vet wouldn't see the pup & said had they had no appointments (although they were open until 7pm & the call was made at noon). The office was spotless & all the staff were polite, helpful & professional. Dr. Martinez took her time & explained everything from the tests they wanted to do, to the test results and her treatment plan. I've been a pet owner for 20 years and that level of care is rare indeed. People on Yelp complain about the $600+ upfront emergency care charge here, but that's just to secure payment and is standard practice for emergency vets. After Dr. Martinez's exam, we were given an estimated treatment bill...and, since the final treatment & medication was less than originally estimated, money would be refunded...along with a much happier, healthier puppy. People who complain about the high prices should check out the prices at other vets. Vet care is pricey everywhere but, the type of caring, thorough vet care we received at Bellerose Animal Hospital is quite rare. Kudos to Dr. Martinez & team!

You left for the holiday weekend and provided a hospital in Suffolk County. You did not provide a diagnosis and an actual treatment plan. If you did, email it to me. Perhaps you should not "ramble" in inefficient care with several doctors there, and actually be competent to do your job. I did not pay at Blue Pearl because she was very thin. The CPR would have caused her pain and would not have meant she would live long, or at all, based on your inadequate treatment. And yes, the CPR is expensive. When you go to a veterinarian and see several of them in a "hospital," you expect a thorough diagnosis and treatment. The only responsibility I have is not following my intuition and taking her elsewhere. Yes, I do think veterinarians' often exorbitant bills leading owners to euthanize pets (when they can chip in for patients coming there for years) is immoral. I have more than enough funds for my present cat, but if you paid me millions of dollars, I would not bring her there. I read several reviews where bills were outrageous with no or the wrong diagnosis rendered. To Hernandez: Rather than ramble on talking down to people you think have less money than you do, focus on why after at least $2000 and three veterinarians later, I had nothing close to a definitive diagnosis or treatment. My cat had severe diarrhea with a voracious appetite. Clearly, her capillaries were not absorbing nutrients. from her small intestine. Did you find the etiology? You had blood and stool tests, and at least one ultrasound. Your solution was a duck and venison diet for three months, and go to emergency care [because you are incompetent]. She died before that. You should have been closed years ago after a thorough investigation, and look forward to the day you will be closed. What comes around goes around, and pets are children, so be wary.
