Our precious baby passed away tonight due to a misdiagnosis from Chestnut. Our beautiful black lab of just 6 years was diagnosed a year ago with a stomach upset. A few weeks ago we noticed similar symptoms, more dramatic and swollen sides. We took her to our vet at Chestnut explaining her extreme symptoms and felt she might have a blockage. We were informed again it was a stomach upset, no blockage and she would be fine with medicine and food alternates prescribed by the the vet. She went up and down these past few weeks. I called again and asked for more special food as nothing was sticking to getting her back to normal. Today a look in her eyes, labored breathing and week movement, she needed to be seen again. Her up and down was caused by internal bleeding...as she absorbed it, she seemed energetic and normal going up and down with symptoms...making us feel like she would be ok with more medicine and perscribed food. I called again today to Chestnut and I was told there wasnt availability and if we felt it couldnt wait, take her to thier recommended hospital. We decided to take her to Westbury Animal hospital instead . One look and right away they knew our precious baby was in bad shape. The white eyes, same swollen belly, white ears, etc...all signs of severe illness. The tests confirmed what the vet thought right off the bat...cancer...a tumor. A tumor was found on her spleen the size of a football. The cancer had spread all over her body. Her blood platelets where so low, there was no way they could even do surgery. There was no hope for our beloved baby. If this was caught a year ago...OR maybe, just maybe a few weeks ago, she might have survived with treatment and surgery. We will never know. They could t understand how Chestnut could have been so off with such obvious signs and not to properly test. For those invested in thier vet at Chestnut, go with your gut...ask for testing. I blame ourselves too for not asking the right questions and not going with our gut to push for testing. Such a heartbreaking loss. To make it harder is she has a standing appointment in the morning at Chestnut where I will need to call to cancel because our baby is gone.

Ive been taking my multi pet household to Chestnut for almost 10 years now... and when i say multi pet household, I mean Ive had as many as 12 cats and dogs. I highly recommend Dr. Raymer and Dr. DeWees. Ive had pets with multiple issues from diabetes, orthopedic issues, arthritis, kidney and heart problems... and had to put a few of my pets to sleep over the last 10 years. I would not go anywhere else. The vets and staff are very caring and understanding and they make smart decisions about diagnosing and care. And the staff does not have a lot of turn over. I think the same staff has been taking care of my pets for 10 years. I highly recommend them.

As with the other reviews I too have found Chestnut to be more then outstanding, they really care about their pet clients and the pets human as well. My cats are my babies and I lost one a few years ago to kidney failure and the staff at this clinic were so companionate and understanding, I literally could not stop crying for days. This is by far the best Vet in town and I feel privileged to know them, five stars is not enough.

Chestnut is sincerely the best place for your fur babies. Why? My dogs have all pulled to go visit there when we passed by on our walks. That says it all! I love the staff and every dog Ive had loved them just as much. When each of my previous dogs passed, Chestnut sent us a card with a heartfelt message and it made me feel better knowing how well they were cared for from beginning to end. ❤❤

Our dog was terribly ill and Chestnut Animal hospital was able to work us right in. They were so sweet to my pup and treated him conservatively which saved us heaps of money. He is all better now! I am so grateful to them for all their help and thorough care they gave Riley. Wonderful vet and very clean!

I have been a client of Chestnut for over 25 years. They have a very friendly team and the doctors are the best! One of the team members called me today to tell me about a way to save on an expensive prescription my older dog has needed for years! They care and treat you like family

We have moved a lot and in the past 10 years I have been to numerous vets - this one has been the best by far. They are very kind and I dont feel like I am being rushed or scammed for cash. Highly reccommended.
