It is truly amazing how caring and loving this establishment is, as they treat your kittens and dogs as if they were their own. The staff are extremely understanding, professional, empathetic, and caring individuals. Please do not consider taking your business elsewhere, as they have provided exceptional care for my cats over the years. They were also very supportive during a difficult end-of-life period with one of my beloved cats. I have immense affection for this place and the people who operate it, and I strongly advise that if you genuinely care about your kittens and dogs, you should not take them anywhere else.

Dr. Winkler is absolutely amazing. He is kind, gentle, compassionate and patient with his pet patients and their humans. He is thorough and answers any questions you have and you never feel rushed. He was there for me at the end of two of my dogs and went above and beyond to support me. You won't regret bringing your pets here. Staff is wonderful too!

Dr. Winkler and staff were professional and very informative regarding the Auscuelight laser procedure for BOAS and snares. My 6 year old Cavalier Shayna had the procedure yesterday and is doing fantastic (knock wood). She is eating and doing her usual business and no complications have arisen (thank God) I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Winkler for any laser procedures (especially if your dog snores). The Olsen Family

Dr. Winkler, always ready to help. He'll do whatever it takes to make your pet feel better. If any further treatment seems necessary, he gives several referrals. Thank goodness he was on call.

Dr. Winkler has treated 5 cats and now a puppy of mine and I can't say more great things about him and his practice. I have experienced nearly all of his services. Spay/neuter, laser therapy, emergency visits, wellness visits and euthanizing 2 of my cats. It's been 9 years since I first found Dr. & Mrs. Winkler and I can say with confidence you will not be disappointed with their level of care and compassion. Thank you guys for taking such good care of our family members!

We came to the Suffolk Veterinary Group from out of state because we knew Dr. Winkler specialized in laser surgery and thought it to be the best option for the BOAS and neuter surgery for our French Bulldog, Cassius. What we didn't know, was how amazing Dr. Winkler and his staff would be! We were apprehensive to have the surgery performed at first because of the nature of the procedure, however, Dr. Winkler quelled our fears with his expertise and calm demeanor.
The surgery went well and we were/are very pleased with the results. Even when we had our concerns about the healing process, Dr. Winkler always made himself available to all of our phone calls and emails for several weeks post surgery. He also communicated frequently with our primary veterinarian. Cassius has more energy now and is breathing and sleeping much better thanks to Dr. Winkler and staff!

I have an Akita who is almost 2. My Chloe gets so excited to see the girls and Dr. Winkler every visit. Dr. Winkler and his staff are very caring and knowledgeable. I love how comfortable she is, which I'm sure any Akita owner understands. Pricing is very fair, I recommend everyone to take their pets here!

We are very fortunate to have found Suffolk Veterinary Group. We wanted to find an alternative to major surgery for our 10 year old dog, Chester. Dr. WInkler explained the options, risks and recovery. He performed laser surgery on Chester and the results far exceeded our expectations. Dr. Winkler, Nicole (his wife and veterinary technician), Liz (veterinary assistant) and Brianna (receptionist), are always welcoming and sincerely caring. We are grateful for the care at Suffolk Veterinary Group and Chester certainly doesn't mind the treats they give him!

Dr.Winkler and his staff were amazing with our dog, Dexter. Our dog had entropion, and needed immediate surgery on his eye because he was in so much pain. We went in for our initial consultation, and Dr.Winkler immediately knew his condition, and even found ingrown eyelashes and an ulcer in his eye! We scheduled an appointment to get surgery done for Dexter for two weeks later. However, a few days after his consultation, we noticed that he was very uncomfortable.
This concerned us, because we didn't want him in any more pain than he already was. We called Dr.Winkler, and he said to bring him in the next morning, and he would perform the surgery right away!
Dexter was his first surgery the following morning, and we were able to pick our puppy up by noon! The staff displayed extraordinary compassion toward our dog, and were so incredibly eager to help us and him. They are truly such caring people, and it made me happy to know that he was in such good hands. I would absolutely, without a doubt, recommend him and his team.
