I would not recommend Algonquin animal clinic. I had a very poor experience there when my cat had a bladder infection. This started last Thanksgiving, I was given antibiotics to treat the infection. That cleared it up but it came back a month or so later. Second round of Antibiotics. Now its been another month and still no improvment. So far Ive invested roughly $400.00 to get this bladder infection taken care of. Each time I went to the office to drop off a sample or pick up more medicine, I felt like I was not important. Leslie at the font desk was nice enough but not very knowledgeable, and unable to answer any of my questions. I was frustrated because I had spent so much money to treat something that seems to be a fairly common ailment. I have since taken my cat to Randall Road Animal Clinic. They ran some tests and found the source of her bladder infection (crystals in her bladder) and now shes finally back to her old self after months of dealing with a painful infection, no thanks to the this vet who didnt seem too concerned with her health rather than draining my bank account.

I had brought my rat there for surgery. Surgery went well, but ended up with a horrible infection after surgery most likely due to wrong or not enough antibiotics. Had to go back for multiple visits because of serious problems in my rat. She died roughly a week after surgery with the doctor continually blaming her symptoms on an ear infection. Later after doing my own research I learned that she had a pituitary (brain) tumor. There is one guarantee symptom of it that she had and did in his office continually and he never diagnosed it correctly because he was set on the ear infection and making me spend more money on medications and visits. So instead I spent close to $1000 just to get misdiagnosed and have my baby suffer a horribly painful death because the vet wouldnt diagnose a very easy and simple diagnosis (with no cure and that wouldnt make him anymore money). I will not go back. Also, prices are absolutely outrageous.

Dr. Ron Durante has been our familys vet since 2008, and we love and trust both him and his entire staff with all of our animals. He even sees rabbits, and is extremely knowledgable about them (not something every vet is comfortable seeing - exotic animals)! Dr. Durante is compassionate, patient, explains what he is doing and why, as well as what his thought process is for treatment. He is very big on EDUCATING the pet parent on care / life style for the animal, and it is clear that he has a passion for what he is doing. His staff has always been kind, compassionate, caring, and willing to answer any questions that we may have. We LOVE this clinic, and are so thankful we found them.

Dr. Durante and his staff are miracle workers. Ive tried many other vets in the area but when I found him I stopped looking. His prices are great, his work is great, and his knowledge of exotics is the best Ive found, besides the hour+ drive to Animal 911. Hes been the family vet for many ferrets in my care, leopard geckos, and just got a bearded dragon that will be going to see him soon..I recommend him to all my family and friends and they love him too. You shouldnt ever have doubts about your vet and leaving your animals in his/her care, with Dr. Durante you wont.

Dr. Durante and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. When we thought our dog was bitten by an opossum, Dr. Durante examined him and gave us advice and rabies/other warning signs to look for. We also take our dog there for his annual shots. No problem whatsoever, other than the Rt. 31 contruction taking place out front. That, however, is minor and is scheduled to be completed in the near future. I recommend him. With respect to the bad ratings below, I love how they remain anonymous. They must be competitors.

The prices here are terrible, if you are looking for quality care at an affordable price, please, look elsewhere. Trust me!! This vet only cares about money and getting you to come back multiple times for the same issue. Even follow up visits cost extra. This cost me well over $1,000 dollars for Dr. to come in the room for maybe a total of 20 minutes over the course of 4 visits. Absolute waste of my time, money and neglected to help my cat whatsoever. You should be ashamed of yourself!!

Dr. Durante is a great vet and has a great staff. We had an injured animal on a Saturday morning - he saw us right away. Gave excellent care - showed us exactly where the injury was and took care of it. Gave us detailed information on how to care for our injured pet.

I love this animal clinic. I pass several of them on the way to going there, but you cant beat there service any where else. Plus I love the fact that they will see Lizards as well as cats.
