So UNPROFESSIONAL! I called about a week ago and wanted to become a new client. The receptionist that picked up the phone was rude, nasty and wanted to have nothing to do with the call. I proceeded to book an appointment to see if it was maybe a busy day! I called today to confirm and they didn't even have my appointment and the receptionist laughed on the phone. Clearly they do not need me as a client or want to keep there reputation.
I want to take my pet where I can trust the staff will be sweet to my dog, clearly they can't be sweet to me so my trust that they will treat my dog better goes out the window. Very sad! I found a new vet in Eastchester super quick and friendly!

The doctors and staff were generally very helpful. The "work" they did on our "Bunny" was excellent. The "missing star" is for an incident with the front desk that is not (now) worth repeating.

Doctors and staff are wonderfu, very dedicatedl they really go out of their way to comfort the family and pets. Unlike this Vet on quaker ridge who took care of my cat for 1 day billed me $750. to do electrolytes the following day the Humane Society put my cat to sleep. Beware of Vet like this. Tuckahoe Animal Hospital is the place where u can find peace and comfort because they truly care about our pets

I am changing my review from 5 stars to 1 star. I regret bringing my yorkie here for a second time. On Dec 14th, 21 the vet Dr Meglino showed his true colors when he comes to talk to me with a direct and stern attitude and when I told him I didn't like the way he was talking to me he said then get out. My yorkie was brought there today because she's been throwing up for 3 days and her allergies are back.
So freaking unprofessional of Dr Meglino and so is the secretary I spoke to yesterday Dec 13th. The secretary tried to interrogate me because I missed the follow up appt which was a week from Nov 17th. I don't have to keep explaining why I missed that appt. (mind you everytime you bring your pet in there is a $90 fee) I did mention to the secretary If the vet fee can be waived being that I was bringing in my yorkie for a follow up.
This place best interest is money not your pet. I payed $499 of which $250 was for blood work. I never received lab work papers and would like it emailed to me. If I can give -0 this would be my rating.

Dr. Doherty correctly diagnosed Fluffy for the first time in 12 years. All the missed diagnosis caused her to suffer for no reason. Dr. Meglino was there one day when Dr. Doherty was out and he was just as excellent. I cannot recommend this office more. The people at the desk have been very compassionate as well. Fluffy comes home happy and that says it all!
