I went there for the first time in January 2015 because I was looking for a holistic or homeopathic practice closer to my home. I saw Dr. B who is supposed to be the most homeopathic doctor there, according to the staff, she was no help to me whatsoever. First, I came in to discuss a Bordetella vaccine option for my dog since she and I are both in agreement that the Bordetella vaccine is useless and does NOT prevent kennel cough. I asked her about a homeopathic nosode, she said it doesnt work, I asked her about a waiver for the vaccine that I could give to the boarding facility I was considering, she refused and she kept telling me she wont lie for me, i was NOT suggesting she lie, I was only suggesting that since we agree that the vaccine doesnt really help and the potential risks of unnecessary vaccines I just wanted her to write that she declined the vaccine due to health reasons, she refused to cooperate. When I called for the appointment the receptionist told me they write waivers all the time. I didnt see potentially risking my pets health for a vaccine that has been proven not to be protective. Bottom line, vets care about MONEY and getting their clients there yearly for tests and vaccines that pets dont need! Calling themselves homeopathic and holistic veterinarians is just a way to lure health conscious pet owners to there office, most vets that I have been to with this title use very little homeopathic remedies, its just a scam to charge you more money and drain your pockets. Beware! Do your research , read "Scared Poopless" a book re: the dangers of over-vaccinating your pets. Look up your vets history, an informed pet owner is the only way to protect your pet from suffering.

I have been with Vet At The Barn for over 20 years. Putting aside their excellent skill and knowledge of veterinary medicine, and how they have helped extend and give a good quality of life for two of my very sick cats, I could not find more compassion any where else for the animals. Its always about the animals first. From Beverly, Dr. Binkowski to Dr.Levine, they have always put their heart into caring about our dog and cats. They have been there for my little babies every time I needed them. Vet at The Barn is a rare find, and every one I referred to them has felt exactly the same way. How many other Animal Hospitals or veterinarians constantly take money out of there own personal pockets to help stray and sick animals by treating them. And then boarding them until they can find a permanent hone.. I have nothing but the warmest of feelings for all of them....Thank You For Always Being There !! Mark

I have always received excellent, compassionate care for my animals at Vet at the Barn. The staff from receptionist, vet techs to the Doctors themselves have all been friendly and helpful. I sometimes have to wait for an appointment but dont mind that at all because there have been times I required that courtesy from others when I had an emergency with my animals. I think it shows their level of care that they will dedicate additional time to animals, and people, who are in need of it. Dr. Binkowski provided exceptional end of life care to several of my pets, exploring all viable options to provide the them with very best quality of life. We can not thank her or all the staff enough.

I have been bringing my dogs and cats to Dr. Binkowski for over 10 years. That should tell you how trust worthy she is. Excellent vet with the welfare of the animal as her highest priority. Front desk very helpful. I am a dog trainer and refer all my clients to them. Julie Wassell

Disappointment beyond grief. A pet is a family member. Vet At The Barn customer Service worker "Ellen" escalated incompetence to mistrust. Regrettably, lost all trust. This evaluation does not include or reflect on Dr. Shane.

Dr. Binkowski is a compassionate veterinarian who takes as much time as necessary. She is also an excellent diagnostician. The staff has always been pleasant and professional.
