Worst veterinary experience of my life. We took a cat in to have a SIMPLE test done for feline leukemia. After sitting in the waiting room which smelled likely like wet dog, but distinctly of urine, our cat was taken in to be examined. Shortly after they took her, we were called into the examination room. The cat was bleeding from the ear and we were told "in an effort to retrieve the blood", the cat clawed her own ear and actually split it down the middle. The shotty vet techs clearly did not know how to hold or handle a cat, and explained to us that they would not be able to do it. Dr. Duffy appeared immediately after this, blamed the cat for his employees crap job, and before hastily rushing off, somehow managed to give us the worst attitude in such a short amount of time. After stating my opinions, a different doctor came in - who in their defense, had a much better attitude than the previous - and took the cat to have blood drawn. He returned and explained the cat had drawn blood from three different people - at which point I was entirely puzzled as to how an animal hospital doesnt have gloves for their employees, or at the very least a towel to restrain the cat. Even the most loving of cats can turn into complete monsters when faced with what could be a threatening situation. How could "trained professionals" not have a clue as to how to handle the situation? I should have paid the extra money and gone to Center Moriches Veterinary Hospital. Lesson learned.

My dog Chance was becoming ill and showing signs of the "c" word. Even upon my initial call for a second opinion, the front staff took immediate ownership of my concerns and worries. They insisted my dog be brought to be seen by them immediately, and even rearranged there schedule for us. As it turns out, my best friend of 10 years was terminally sick and was ready to go to a better place. The entire office, receptionists, nurses and doctors, we more sensitive than I could even imagine. My vet of 10 years didnt even come close. After bringing him in for the last time, they were so comforting in explaining the process and expressing their condolences. Losing Chance was the hardest thing I ever went through, and I can honestly say that every little effort shown by everyone around me helped a lot. And when the bad new starts from the doctor, its so important on how you are treated. Thank you guys for everything. I know we couldnt do much else, but thanks for keeping him comfortable and helping him to a much better place. If you knew him, you would know he would be so appreciative. Hopefully there will be a Junior in the future for you to help me care for. Thanks again.

My fiance and I dont have enough good things to say about Dr. Duffy and the rest of the staff at Eastport Animal Hospital... I met Dr Duffy 10 years ago when we found out my kitty had a tumor on her heart, he was so empathetic and compassionate when he told us Rashas diagnosis and didnt pressure us into anything..fast forward to last Christmas when I brought my husky pup home ....I knew there was no other person I wanted caring for my new fur baby. The entire staff at Eastport Animal Hospital is amazing, kind compassionate, caring and down to earth!. prices are very very reasonable and I have never felt like they are taking advantage of me because they know they can (not something you can say about everyone) bottom line, if you need someone to take care of your babies please go see Dr Duffy! We will never go anywhere else!

Clearly the only negative reviews are the ones from people who dont realize that having a pet is like having a child and they require medical attention and ANNUAL check ups, which cost money... just because you "WebMD" a symptom your pet is having doesnt mean that is the answer, your not the one who went to Veterinary school! it takes tests and diagnostics (plural) to sometimes figure out the underlying cause of an issue... stop getting your panties in a bunch and penny pinching and start taking better care of your animals and keeping up with their medical needs and you wont be as uptight as you are! i have nothing but the utmost respect for all these doctors AND their staff, seeing how busy and overwhelmed it can get in there im surprised they manage to keep calm and continue to do a 100% wonderful job. KEEP IT UP EAH!

We have been bringing our 2 dogs and 1 cat to Dr. Howard for years and have received the best care from Dr. Howard and his staff. When Dr. Duffy and Dr. Spanbock joined the practice when Dr. Howard opened the new Wellness Center, we were delighted! Dr. Duffy was employed at another area vet and we were familiar with him and pleased to see him join forces with Dr. Howard. We werent familiar with Dr. Spanbock but were pleased after a very pleasant emergency visit on a Sunday morning with our cat. Each vet has one of our pets as each is outstanding. The front desk staff and vet techs are all friendly and kind with our pets. We are on a first name basis with most of the staff. The office is competitively priced, very clean and offers a multi-pet discount.

Ive been bringing my dog Lucy here since she was just a pup, and with 10 years of great care from Dr. Howard and the rest of the staff, shes healthier than shes ever been. I love that they know her name as soon as she walks in, and they take a minute to come and rub her belly, which means the world to her. Lucy is truly excited about going to the vet every time. I thank them for everything theyve done for Lucy, and for me throughout the years. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Dr duffy is awesome. However dr howard told me my children are just dogs. Disappointed disgusting horrible bedside manners from a so called vet. Insulting me bc i am not a vet or a tech just a medical assistant. I dont know anything. after he did a crappy stitch job on my youngest dog(child) i need to control my hyper dog so the stitches dont come out! Howard horrible. Duffy is a dream but I feel i need to change doctors bc its howards practice and i no longer want to feed his pockets!

Had to review after reading the previous bad review. Ive been taking my cat to Dr Duffy since he joined the Hospital and moved there because Dr Duffy did. My cat is 17, has had a couple surgeries and in general hates going to the vet so he is probably the worst client they have. But the hospital has taken excellent care of him and I wouldnt trust my animals with anyone else.

I was quoted a price of $45 to take my dog for a checkup and rabies shot. When finished I was given a bill of $295 and told to return with dog to get teeth cleaned for another $600. They scam to steel your money, stay far away from them.
