It was great. They were very patient with my dog Jace. The only thing was that, I have a lot of mental issues, and I was scared and nervous because I didnt want to stress out the vets and I was worried about Jace, and I was tired because I have MS and stressed out and my body was exhausted, and it was my first time there, and at the other Vet Ive been at, its usually a student vet-to-be first and then the Doctor. The point is that I was nervous and so many things were going on at once and I called the Vet "Miss", and she snapped at me with "DOCTOR", and I was like.. wow... I didnt mean it like that. I cant think, so many things are going on, I wasnt being sexist because in my personal life I fight against all bigotry, including sexism... I told her I meant no disrespect by calling her Miss instead of "Doctor" in the middle of holding back my 70lbs dog that was freaking out... but I didnt deserve to be snapped at like that. But they were great and patient, but that was my only negative experience. It was such a crazy situation because my dog is scared when he goes to the vet and everything was so wild with him whimpering and my mind is racing and I meant no disrespect, but I didnt deserve to be snapped at like I did some sexist stuff on purpose.

HURT MY CAT!! Rude, rough, arrogant .... ZERO stars needed. We had a five oclock appointment and ran late. We didnt get called until almost closing. When we entered the room, the so-called vet asked "what are we here for"? I suspect that my cat has anal glands issues. But he said " cats dont get that", as if Im a liar. Then he says "I have cats, and sometimes that happens" ..... So what is it? The place is small crowded and smelly. He puts him on the table and my cat is terrified of the dog in the other room. He doesnt even close the door. We had to hold him because the assistant couldnt be bothered to help. Then the doctor coldly told me hes doing something else .... Like something else other than his damn job!!!! Then the doctor inserts his finger into my cats rectum and my cat SCREAMS. Doctor Evil then says " he just doesnt like being touched" He continues to rough handle my cat until I tell him to stop. Doctor Evil coldly says "no charge, I didnt do anything". So we left, with my cat crying in pain. First of all, if they were too busy to see us, let us know. If they are too damn lazy and pissed to see a patient after closing, let us know. Please dont bring your pet here. Im writing this in tears

Ive been going here for almost 20 years now. They are nice, compassionate and very helpful. I only wish they had a late night emergency staff, not that my dog now is sick, but my dog before him became very ill from cancer and I didnt know where to go til the next morning. I was also a little younger and more naive, so that is partially my fault for not knowing what to do. (Come to think of it, maybe they do now, it has been a few years til I got another pet after my last). They will continue to get my support until I eventually move too far away to keep making the treks to happily use their services. Great doctors and caring staff. Everyone Ive dealt with has always been a pleasant experience, and it has been the same staff for as long as I can remember. The fact that theyve gone digital with email reminders as well as text reminders for you is great since I have such a hectic schedule these days, it makes for someone like me to have many reminders so they cant forget when an appointment is or needs to be made by. The best.

My dog, Amber, had 3 very large cysts on her back that looked suspicious. We met with Dr. Givan who was so loving and compassionate with us and our dog. He quickly pulled Dr. Mendelsohn (surgeon) into the conversation, who recommended the removal of all 3. Needless to say, I was a very nervous mom waiting to hear the results of the surgery. Dr. Howell was amazing by the way he got on the phone to reassure me that Amber was doing great and that he would check on her during the night. He truly alleviated all of my fears. I then got a follow up phone call from Dr. Mendelsohn to tell me all went well and that Amber was resting comfortably. We went the next morning to pick her up and she acted like nothing had happened. I couldnt believe it because she can be skittish at times. Dr. Mendelsohn and her Assistant, Alanna, did a phenomenal job!!! Its been 2 1/2 weeks and you can barely see where the cysts had been removed. My heartfelt thanks to the group at Yonkers Animal Hospital!!!

I was in a tight spot (sick new cat) and had to find a vet near my job in Yonkers, NY - so I called and got an appointment for the same week when they first opened up in the morning. The staff was very friendly, and the vet handled my cat with compassion and also as an animal-lover. They understood my work situation and were happy to do bloodwork and trim her claws while I put in my morning shift, then I drove down to pick her up during my lunch break. The bloodwork to check for diabetes & kidney problems + an exam + nail trimming was $175, which according to my fellow cat owners is very inexpensive. The results didnt come back on time, and they called around to hunt down the paperwork for me. (I was concerned about my kitty!) For what its worth, the people I met in the waiting room were some of the nicest people Ive met since moving to this part of the country. Nice animal lovers!

Great great place!!!! My dog (1yr old yorkie) got hit by a car on a Saturday night (day b4 Easter) spent the weeken in the er hosp. That hosp was supposed to send all paper work over to here (Yonkers animal hosp). They didnt. We got here with our dog they knew nothing of us or even that we were coming! My dog was in the back getting looked at by the sergon I dont remember her name Dr M (last name starts with M) in the back within 5 mins and had his surgery the same day!!!! Staff is very friendly and help full!!!!! Dr. Howel very patient man! Again I had no appointment they knew nothing of us. He answered any and all of our questions at any time we asked them.. Alanna and Nino very caring and helpful too.. (Alanna had bfast with my lil guy and called me b4 the place even opened to give me the best update!!!!) THANK YOU YONKERS ANIMAL HOSPITAL!!!!!!!

NEGATIVE!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL BUSINESS! No pet parent should have to see their pet in such pain as the vet techs are holding the sick pet down while inserting a needle to start a central line.. that should be done in the BACK by the vet techs! This place has no heart or concern for the feeling of the pet parents. I requested TWICE that my pet be sedated so we can say our good-byes to our beloved pet and all the vet did was administer half of the euthanization medication!! I requested a "SEDATIVE" for which I was willing to pay extra. If you care about saying a peaceful goodbye to your pet, DO NOT choose this clinic! I regret my choice of vets and feel worse that my son, who raised this cat for 15 years, had to see him struggle during his last moments! SHAME ON YONKERS ANIMAL HOSPITAL!!!!!!
