I cannot recommend Dr Hardoon enough! The whole staff is so caring, understanding, and my pet had a wonderful surgical outcome thanks to their care.
I came to Williston Park for an alternative spay with a preventative gastropexy and xrays of her joints. Dr Hardoon is one of the only vets on LI that is experienced in the OSS procedure and can do OFA positioned xrays. She was very supportive of my request for an ovary sparing spay and was happy to answer all my questions since this would be my first time with a dog having this procedure. I was offered many different surgical approaches, their cost/ benefit analysis, and I was allowed to make the ultimate decision. We elected to remove her uterus, her cervix, and one of her ovaries. We left her left ovary to preserve her reproductive hormones, but that ovary was chosen since it is easier to find if she should ever need it removed in her future. Dr Hardoon went over her personal experience with this procedure in terms of long term health of large breed dogs, as well as what published research was showing. I felt well educated and happy with my choice after our initial consult. She even went so far as to warn me what the post op experience would be like so I could prepare my house for my dog's 2 week rest. I was so happy to be at an office that supported my desire for the procedure, as well as their full support of me feeding my dogs raw.
When I came in for the procedure the entire office was so welcoming. They sprayed calming pheromones to help my dog relax, played relaxing music, and gave us a room for the initial sedatives to take effect before taking my dog to the back. I was so impressed with the care they took to ensure my dog went under anesthesia with the least stress possible. After I left the staff was great with communication. They knew I had traveled for the surgery so they made sure to tell me how long it would take and where I could wait peacefully. When my dog was out of surgery Dr Hardoon called me personally to give me a brief on how the surgery went and when I could anticipate her being awake. The team knew my dog was large and I would not be able to carry her to my car, so they held her for me until she was awake enough to walk.
I was very happy with the pain control offered by Dr Hardoon, which is a very important component for me personally. My dog received laser and acupuncture before going home and the staff made sure to provide me with both holistic and traditional pain meds for her. My GSD had a lot done during this surgery, so I expected discomfort. I was blown away that she was back to her normal self the very next day. As a veterinary assistant I know how much care and skill it takes during surgery to make this post op so smooth and I am extremely grateful. Despite the need for a very large incision to reach both the cervix and the stomach she healed very well. The incision looked great and was fully healed in 7 days without the need for antibiotics.
I am always nervous entrusting my dogs to a new vet but I will absolutely be back in the future after such a positive first experience. If you are looking for a vet that believes in both alternative and traditional medicine, and caters a medical plan to include both, Dr Hardoon is the best!

They mainly really just care about the money. Make sure you’re able to advocate for your pet or else you’ll be paying extra fees for the doctor’s faults. Charged $15 for nail clipping and did it so fast that my dog bled as she was sedated. I brought my dog for a regular check up, she wasn’t properly checked, leading me to have to bring her in for an emergency appointment and pay even more than I had the day before. If she had been properly checked, I would not have had to come in for an emergency appointment less than 24 hours later. The doctor told me she would waive the fee for the next check up because they dropped the ball and it would be a quick check up appointment. When it came time, she lied and said that we never spoke about it. There are no financial concerns here, just believed you and that you would stick to your word. I’m an honest human being that was taken advantage of probably because I look young. This left a very distasteful feeling. It’s not about $40 or 50% off, it’s about your character as a human being and a vet.
I only write a review if I strongly feels it deserves my time and this practice deserves my positive review. I found Dr. Hardoon on the AHVMA website. I was searching for a new vet to partner with on taking an integrative approach for my 5 year old Cocker-poodle's health. While we were scheduled to discuss allergy concerns, an unexpected accident happened right before our appointment and my dog was hurt. Dr. Hardoon and staff (shoutout to Bibi and Tyler) were amazing from the moment we walked in the door. Dr. Hardoon took her time with us and addressed all of our concerns to make sure our boy was okay from the accident and our concerns on recent allergy symptoms. She didn't rush through the visit and/or was pushy about selling anything. Rather than just prescribing Apoquel, I'm happy to say we have a plan in place to work together to rule out my boy's allergies and start a treatment plan. Im looking forward to a great vet/pet parent relationship. Thank you ❤️❤️
My first time at this animal hospital and it was a great experience. I love the holistic approach and how gentle and caring the nurse and doctor were with my Sammy. They gave him lots of snacks to keep him happy while they drew blood and played very relaxing music that was very calming. I highly recommend this animal hospital
Dr. Hardoon is by far the best veterinarian that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing! We initially came across her practice while looking for alternative treatments for our dog Chelsea. Chelsea had a severe case of demodex, and Dr. H was able to restore her immunity with the healthy treatments that her practice offers. It's hard to believe that it's been 8 years since Chelsea initially met Dr. Hardoon! But after all this time, she's the only veterinarian that I trust 100% with my 2 dogs, who are now seniors.
Many thanks for your kind and thoughtful service! And this review is long overdue!

This place and Dr. Hardoon are HORRIBLE
If you don't want to deal with virtual consultation services then don't offer it. I spoke with the Dr ONCE when I paid for the initial consultation. I offered to schedule additional appointments but I was told by the receptionist that it wasn't necessary if I just had a couple of questions. My furbaby was diagnosed with Cushing's and I decided to use Dr Hardoon's advice for a holistic treatment. Any time I called with updates and concerns about his condition, she never called me back... only heard responses from her tech Jesse or a quick email to adjust his supplements and extend out his next test for Cushing's. I finally wanted to just bring him in for evaluation but because we live so far and traffic was so bad we were going to be late and even though we were on the way the Dr wouldn't wait for us so I asked if she would at least call me at the time of our appointment and she STILL DIDN'T CALL!! My sweet, precious, baby boy passed away days later from an acute kidney injury. Since it was acute there should have been something that could have been done to save him if she even bothered to speak with me...advise me to take him to another vet/ER to at least get bloodwork checked since she told me to wait TWO MONTHS before retesting for Cushing's. I don't know how in-patients are treated but based on my experience, probably not any better. She charged me for the virtual consultation which got cut off with me mid-sentence because they don't even use the paid premium service for zoom AND she still didn't have the courtesy to call me back herself after being disconnected. I bought all of his supplements from her too.... which aren't cheap. Clearly just trying what she can to make a quick extra buck here and there without actually caring for her patients. Look at and remember this beautiful precious face. You could have done more to save him but you didn't care and let him pass. Your description of yourselves is ridiculous... caring and offer top notch services. What A joke!! If I could leave negative stars, I would. And you better believe that I will spread the word everywhere to avoid this place. You're better off going with traditional medications and treatments than to come here.

Super kind and caring veterinarian and staff! My dog Mira and myself are definitely more at ease when we come here and it especially helps my dog (and myself 😂) stay calm during the exam. I feel confident in talking to the doctor, knowing that she understands both conventional and hollistic side of veterinary medicine and that this hospital supports raw/homecooked/fresh diets. I never feel like I am pressured into buying anything or being scammed. Keep up the great work
This place is better than my own doctors office. From the receptionist all the way to the veterinarians I was thoroughly impressed! I would recomend this to everyone. They easily handled my cat's travel documents to Europe. They are Aphis accredited and valid for all international pet travel! Thanks again Williston Park Animal Hospital!
