I went there stressed he had a UTI then you leave him covered in urine and also some STOOL, My poor baby looked terrible and they left him covered in his pee all scared and didn't even attempt to clean him other than putting a pee pad in his crate which did nothing to clean him otherr then soaking up the pee left in his crate. they also had to take his collar off and i wasn't going to put it on him until the next day to then realize they broke his collar taking it off him and didn't even tell me that...I love dr Kinney, she is the only good provider there but whoever treated my Milo that day did not care for him like you would your own pet, I'm extremely dissapointed with how he was cared for, i do not recommend any other vet then dr Kinney if you need to see someone there.

I cannot say enough about how grateful I am for the care Dr. Kurowski provided to my dogs during…read morethe final chapter of their lives. I met her later in their journey, at a time when things were already difficult, but she stepped in with a level of compassion, honesty, and professionalism that made all the difference. When the time came to say goodbye, a month apart, she guided us through each decision with empathy and clarity, never rushing us and always prioritizing their comfort and dignity. Losing two pets so close together was heartbreaking, but having a veterinarian who genuinely cared eased that burden more than I can express. I will always be grateful for her kindness, and the way she helped my dogs leave this world peacefully and with love. If you are looking for a veterinarian who combines exceptional medical skills with true compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Amy Kurowski. Michelle Daigle

This the reason for my call to see if you have services for my pet and would be inappropriate facility his diagnostic needs. She was abrupt and rude. It's fine if you don't have a certified exotic veterinarian, but you don't be snappy and dismissive! I called another facility that also couldn't help me with my pet, but she was kind and patient and still very helpful to try to find something for . Kindness especially if you're helping people with their pets.

They are professional, caring, and really good at what they do! Whether a visit is for a checkup, a surgery, or a follow up, the whole staff feels like a part of my extended family. They have always offered many options of care in every situation, and in the difficult times that sick animals had to be put down, they were sensitive, caring, and kind. For a person like me who sees his animals more like "persons" than property, Normanside is a veterinary practice that I am very comfortable with. I'm so glad to have them care for my precious pets.

I wish they'd just put that fact on their website so you don't have to waste your time screwing up your courage to ask -- if you're like me, you emotionally get much closer to your vet than to any MD you're forced to visit. It looks like a nice place, small as it is, and I'd have loved to try it -- but I guess it's a club, and you and me ain't going to get in it.

We have taken a particular shine to Dr. Lucas DeFiores who is high energy, very personable, and has excellent rapport with our dog. Two years ago our dog needed surgery and as I waited for her to come of anesthesia Dr. Flores came outside to chat with me and to reassure me how things had gone. I found that kind and reassuring. (This was when they were under construction and everyone had to wait outside and the pet had to be met and brought inside by a tech. It was a frustrating flashback to when they did the same thing during the COVID pandemic -- I am not sure whether that was before the DeFlores or afterwards, though a number of other pet owners sitting in the parking lot share their ire over that situation with me -- this overlapped with the owners being put on hold for when they called to get status updates) The staff as a whole are warm, friendly, and quick to remember your pet (I've got to admit my dog has an amazing personality) Scheduling appointments is easy, getting medication refills is pretty seamless. They do have some protocols that will drive you nuts, like accepting your call and leaving you on hold for a seeming eternity. We've been to vets in the Northwest, California, and now back in New York State -- and the two Drs DeFlores have simply been the best vets we've experienced. I have complete confidence in them and they do everything possible to support the pet owners.

When I got there, I had only a very very short wait while a room opened up which was no problem at all, it was 10 minutes MAX, but the staff was very cognizant of our wait and kept us reassured - Even though they didn't need to! My baby's intake was quick. The tech that took her vitals was so sweet, empathetic, kind, thorough and caring of my little girl. I only had to wait maybe 5 minutes for the doctor to come in. He was very knowledgeable, thorough, and the big one for me, was he didn't want to do more than what was absolutely necessary - I appreciate this so much. It is far too often you find vet offices that try to take advantage and squeeze you for as much money as they can. (Sorry, not trying to bash, just has happened so much to me!) Overall, the staff at PetMedic were great, and my experience was excellent. I have already been talking to my friends about this place, and I am so grateful something like this exists for the important stuff that's not life threatening, but needs to be addressed promptly before a vet appointment. If I ever run into another situation where one of my babies needs quick help because the vet is closed, but it's not life threatening, I will for sure bring them to PetMedic, knowing both my babies and I are in good hands. Thank you!!!

Dr. Beck said he could take care of her as soon as he was done with another appointment, or that we could go to the emergency vet in Latham, but said we may have to wait there as well [not to mention the time driving there]. The poor little dog had seven lacerations, and was bit through the ear. It was a miracle from God that she did not bleed much, or die. Dr. Beck kept her overnight in their hospital, and we were not charged much , considering the seriousness of the injuries and the hospital stay. His staff was helpful in the follow-up, as well, we brought her in twice with concerns about her staples, and when she had a seizure. Both times, the Dr was not in, but the staff was very helpful. This happened almost 2 years ago, and the dog is doing well.
