Staff is warm and kind to my animals. They are friendly and always have a smile on. Doctors are thorough and make sure that I understand everything they say. My animals have been coming here for a few years. I live 35 min away and would drive an hour if I had to. My dog has had 2 knee surgeries and a tooth extraction, cat had been on deaths door and they fixed them both us great. I love this Vet Clinic!

I've been bringing my senior dog Bella here for over a year now, and she is in VERY good hands. The doctors and staff are friendly, compassionate and professional. We recently had to bring in our 13 year old cat Indy for an emergency exam. We quickly learned he had advanced kidney failure, and the doctors compassionately and professionally guided us through the process of euthanasia. We were so grateful that the staff was able to hold space and facilitate this for us - we really felt our relationship with our cat was honored in the process and care. Thank you Nassau Veterinary Clinic, we will continue to bring our beloved pets here!

All I wanted was an appointment to get my dog's teeth cleaned and an xray taken, but they wouldn't schedule an appointment with his dental records. My dog doesn't have any dental records because he's never had his teeth cleaned. The front desk kept putting me on hold because she didn't seem to know anything and had to ask about every question. She said I'd have to make an appointment to have my dog evaluated before he could even have his teeth cleaned.
If it's this hard to make an appointment with their passive-aggressive front desk person then it seems like the place is over bureaucratic and disorganized and wants to overcharge for their services by creating layers of redundant appointments.

Amazing! This is the best vet clinic my pets have ever been to. Dr. Rose couldn't be nicer, and every tech I interacted with was incredibly kind and understanding. They called several times to follow up after my visit. Their COVID protocols have made me feel very safe throughout the pandemic. One of our little cats is going back for grooming tomorrow!
