**HORROR EXPERIENCE** I told my mother to bring my cat here to get de-wormed, since I moved to the city and cant do it myself. Vet Elizabeth Wardell, and her assistant apparently full on JAMMED a metal pill administering utensil repeatedly down the back of my cats mouth, causing her to bleed in the back of the mouth and on her palate. Wardels assistant even said that she may have broken a tooth during the session!! It saddens me just to type that out...She is only 6 pounds. I have been giving my cats and my friends cats dewormer pills since I was 12, it is the EASIEST thing to do and they ruined my cats mouth over it!? what the actual hell!?!?! I am so upset and my mother is calling me telling me how upset she is, how traumatizing it all was and how my cat hasnt left her crate or eaten since the appointment, which has been over 6 hours now. To think I trusted my most dearest, most outgoing cat to this so-called professional, Vet Elizabeth Wardel.....these people are incompetent monsters!

The people at the front desk are super friendly and nice. Always smiling... The Doctors are great and always friendly too. You know they care about the animals. However; I probably wouldnt leave my dog there overnight again unless she had some sort of procedure that required her to stay under there watch. We had boarded her there when we took a weekend trip and when I picked her up she was covered in urine. She has some separation anxiety and Im sure it probably happened overnight but my issue was that Im sure they new and never told me. It was on the way home in the car that I realized it. They could have at least wiped her down before I got there. Also The heart worm meds are marked up pretty high. 1800 petmeds is about half the price for the same meds. With all that said I still do trust them with my dogs overall health.

Careful. They mark up drugs big-time even though claiming to be competitive. Was told by Shenker my dog would get a new shot to help with arthritis...and that I had to come in for him to get it. They wouldnt initially give me a script for it. So I did it once. Came back second time and got the details from the tech that it was Adequan. New??? I had gotten a script from a previous vet 2 years prior. And they wanted to charge $42/ml. Valley vet sells for $12/cc. Same stats with all the other drugs, vaccines, and supplements. Its egregious. Large animal vets have clinics and they home deliver at a 20% markup. Had gone there for years until my vet left. Ill be taking business elsewhere from now on.

We took our beloved dog here on several occasions. While the business does charge a premium for their services, my family found that the doctors were patient and considerate. They welcomed questions and took the time to explain their diagnoses/recommendations carefully. When it came time to pursue euthanasia, the doctors and staff were unbelievably kind and compassionate; they gave my family a private room to have a few last moments together with our friend. They were respectful and waited to charge us until his ashes were returned. Overall, based on my experience, I would highly recommend this veterinary clinic.

When looking for a veterinarian i highly recommend Alan Shanker and his staff.They show caring and compasion for are two dogs. This past sixteen months Alan and his staff have cared for Sadie who was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Doctor Shanker presented us with the statics an life expectancy of dogs with bladder tumors. He presented us with a choice to remove only the large tumor on sadies bladder . He could not remove all the tumor. We chose the surgery. Sadie , ran, barked and played for ten more months. My family can not thank ovch staff enough.

DONT GO !!! They do NOT pride themselves on the proper care for ANY ANIMAL apparently they are to self absorbed to take in an animal who was in desperate NEED of emergency care I called as office was closing at 11:58 am ( not knowing they closed at 12pm) & the female vet on staff REFUSED to see my cat who was bleeding covered in feces & MAGETS that is getting his tail amputated STAY AWAY they told me to go to the emergency vet in Middletown becasue they never saw my feral rescued cat but cared for my 2 yorkies for a few years until I rehomed them

The staff and doctors are absolutely amazing. Theyre very personable and make sure you understand. My boyfriend and I used to take our pup elsewhere but ever since we started coming here we will never look again. They try as hard as they can to make an appointment work around your schedule and always greet you with a smile. I would recommend them to anyone. We drive 45 minutes just to come here, Ill never trust anyone else with my pets.

The staff was terrific! We couldnt of asked for a nicer vet. They are honest and up front. They dont make you feel pressured to run tests if money is an issue. We had to put our dog to rest last month. VCA made a paw impression for us and later in the week following his passing, we received a sympathy card in the mail as well. They are the best!! I highly recommend taking your loved ones to this facility.

Caring professional attention given to all the pets I have ever brought there during well visits and end of life. Full service veterinary hospital.

Take very good care of my dog. Accommodating to my dog because he doesnt like waiting in the waiting room so will come get us outside.

We have been patients for 20 years. Have been to other vets over the years but we came back- that says it all
