I trust all the doctors and staff with my boy Finn. Each and everyone of them take excellent care of him. He tends to be very nervous but they take their time with him at every appointment.

Dr. DeVito has taken care of the needs for our "puppy" for the last 15 years. She and her staff are always there and meet the emergency & well-care needs of our DOG, whenever we call. Unfortunately, our toy poodle has had a tough life, with several surgeries before he was two. We appreciate these years of Dr. DeVito providing their services and would recommend her practice to any animal lover in need of her services.

If you're going to offer services that cost hundreds of dollars, don't be unprofessional and rude on the phone when a new client asks why they didn't receive a reminder call. As a potential client seeking to pay money for your services, I would expect to be treated accordingly. As a prior veterinary technician for 3+ years, I know the industry standards for common courtesy and professional conduct. However, I never received that from West Hempstead Animal Hospital.
