Animal Hospitals near West Islip

“After everything my dog Scooter and I have been through these past few weeks — so many questions, so much uncertainty, and more worry than I can even put into words — finding Dr. Hillock was truly a blessing.

Dr. Hillock is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but deeply compassionate. He took the time to thoroughly explain Scooter’s condition in a way that made sense. He answered every single question (and there were a lot!) without rushing us or making us feel dismissed.

What meant the most to me was that he did not push unnecessary tests or procedures. He focused on what was truly needed and what would genuinely help Scooter recover. That level of integrity is rare.

For the first time in a while, I walked out feeling informed, reassured, and hopeful. Scooter is well on his way to recovery, and I truly believe that’s because of Dr. Hillock’s thoughtful and careful approach.

If you are looking for a specialist who combines expertise with heart, I cannot recommend Dr. Hillock enough. We are so grateful.

“I decided to try this Vet it is close to home and was highly recommended. I was surprised I was able to get a appt. within 24 hours. I have to say this Vet office was spotless, so clean and updated. The staff was very nice and welcoming. We met with Dr. Haley Knopf.. She explained the problem Daisy was having gave her a shot and some meds to put on her paw. We had a follow up appt. and all went well. Our furry friends are like our children and we only want the best for them. I highly recommend Commack Vet. Center on Motor Parkway in Commack.
Had another visit to the Vet and once again very happy with the care. Daisy had a ear infection and she is a very good girl well behaved and they were able to clean her ears and apply a solution. The staff is so good and they take the time to talk to your pet. Can't say enough about this Vet.“

“I took my Pitbull to Twins Vet for the first time this week. This vet was recommended by my coworker. They were amazing! From the receptionist to the vet assistant to the vet. The vet was very thorough, he answered all my questions, he didn’t seem like he was in a rush, he was so great and loving with my dog. Everyone had great attitudes, very friendly, the office was very clean and they treated my dog as loving as I do. I would 100% be staying with them. They were also very affordable.“

“Victoria, Riley and the entire team at Gold Coast is absolutely amazing!

My dog originally had hip dysplasia in both hips. I elected to have her get left FHO in April 2024 when she was still young. She goes to PT weekly Tuesdyas and Fridays ever since then. She also recently had right FHO about 2 weeks ago as well.

The entire surgery team and physical therapy team has been very amazing and supportive the entire way. Victoria and Riley both answer any questions I have and give recommendations as well as show me how to do all the at home exercises for my dog.

Would recommend them to anyone!“

“Been using this Vet for years, fairly priced and they have always been there for my pets when I needed.“

“Really good place all the staff here is very professional and amazing . They were all very friendly and very easy to deal with . I highly recommend them“

“Jen was super sweet and helpful! I love coming here because they don’t force you to do a bunch of unnecessary things just to get more money out of you it makes me feel like they truly care about my dogs health.

Edit: I can’t say enough good things about this place every single doctor, vet tech and office ladies are amazing. They were so helpful through out my dogs surgery and recovery. Candy is now back home and doing great thanks to everyone here

Last edit: my puppy girl passed away on Friday. I want to thank dr perfetto and the rest of the staff for showing us so much compassion and care for my baby girl. It was the hardest day of my life and I’m so thankful that they made the process hurt a little less. Thank you“

“We went not knowing how they would be, or how the dog would be with them, the reception desk staff was great, the assistant in the room was great and the vet herself was awesome, knowledgeable and fixed him up, price saved us dramatically , and he goes back after Thanksgiving for follow up ?“

“Having been here multiple times over the last few years and I have to say the Dr’s listen and explain so you have a full understanding. as for the STAFF I can’t praise them enough for their professionalism and willingness to help. No groaning nor hesitation to assist in any way they can. And always pleasant to work with.“

“The doctor and staff here are wonderful. Very pleased with the level of care and attention they gave my kitty. Thank you!“

“Dr. Cronin is incredibly caring, kind and humane with you and your fur babies. She's honest, transparent and explains everything to you so that you make an informed decision. She doesn't manipulate you into getting unnecessary things that won't help your vet reach a diagnosis. And if what is needed is something out of her expertise, she will provide a referral to a trusted expert. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Dr. Cronin and her friendly staff. Because it's a small practice, don't wait until the last minute to make an appointment. However, if you need to be seen same day, call and many times they will do their best to accommodate you. This is a great and loving practice.“

“Dr. Justin Marlow is not only an excellent vet, he also cares deeply about his patients and their families. His staff is excellent. My cat was feisty and turned away by Banfield. But Dr. Marlow knew what she needed. Dr. Marlow is one of the best people I have ever met.“

“Changed veterinarians and I’m glad I did. This is further away from my house, but they treat my Lexi girl very well. Just wish they had better discounts for seniors.“

“In response to a Jennifer Perry review. She and her husband have since apologized. They have requested for me to care for their new pet. Don’t post something in the heat of the moment. The Bayview Animal Hospital (Dr. Bialt and Terry) cares. We are proud to do a complete medical exam in a relaxing atmosphere and advise the pet owner of additional testing necessary.“
