What a friendly and knowledgeable place. We purchased a voucher from Friends of Animals for our puppies spayed procedure. First time we ever went to Emerson. They took such wonderful care of our precious puppy Sadie. We dropped her off at 8 AM met with Dr Esposito he did an examination and we left. She was ready for pick up at 4:30PM. Everyone one at the front desk, the doctors and support staff were just fabulous. It's great to know I have another Vet I can rely on. Thank you Emerson Animal Hosital

I am editing this review as the vet has personally apologized to my husband regarding an issue about over-inoculating my puppy, hope there will be better communications with clients in the future, I still think vaccines at this place are overpriced and I find it strange they give out unnecessary vaccines.

Outstanding veterinarians and wonderful care! I've been taking various pets of mine to Emerson Animal Hospital since 1998. Dr LoFaro and Dr Esposito are very skilled, caring and experienced veterinarians. Anytime they perform a lab test, they call with results the next morning. They don't order any unnecessary tests or try to upsell a service or product. My pets are always treated like family. Highly recommend!

I'll always take my cat here! He needed a general checkup and some blood work but he's pretty difficult and wouldn't let the doctor do anything. They prescribed him a sedative to take, made my next appointment very easily, and had me come back after giving him the medicine that calmed him down a little. Finally the doctor was able to treat him with so much care and patience. My sister has a pit bull and was interested in taking him here, so I asked if they have any breed restrictions. They said they love pits and don't discriminate against any animal! I'll recommend this place to anyone, great staff and a wonderful doctor.

Best hospital in the area! Dr. Lofsro is simply the best! It's so hard to find a good doc these days with a good bed side manner, patience, a sense of humor and highly experienced! He is all those things and more! Took excellent care of my baby Puppy Max! He's our new vet going forward!
