Top Animal hospitals in Astoria, United States

I started coming to this clinic about a year ago. Each visit is always so welcoming. They give my dog love and never once did I feel judged. My dogs teeth were horrible and I found it difficult to allow a procedure be done where I knew extractions were needed. They did stress the importance of it but I always felt distressed with scheduling the appointment, especially since I was and still am struggling financially. But never did I feel judged or pressured. Finally I knew it was time and everything got done as perfectly as possible. They prepared my dog Canelo before during and after the procedure. They call to check on Canelo after all visits and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for them. I 1000% recommend this clinic and find every expense worth it. Not to mention they aren’t insanely pricy like most clinics. The only pricy fee I would say is the office visit fee which to me is pretty high and just rose from 85-110$. But follow ups are free as long as they’re within 2 weeks after first visit!

A vet you can trust!

We take Loki here and though it’s not always pleasant for him, they truly love animals here and what they do!

Each time we go in, we’re treated with care and we’re never left with questions. And if we have them they answer them kindly and patiently. Thank you for taking care of our boy! 🥹♥️

Unfortunately for the vet, the sick cat, the friend and for me, I had to cancel the appointment after feeling stressed from a passive aggressive phone lady receptionist. She is super aggressive, super cold, super rude. I called back to cancel with a no carrier excuse due to the bad energies and a nice gentleman helped out and made me change my mind by offering to pick up a carrier, how nice of him, very polite and professional young man. Once I arrived this horrendous miserable unhappy woman that never gets laid scared me and I canceled the appointment once and for all because of the fear of leaving my cat near this woman, who knows if she would abuse it?

I just want to share my last experience in this place this morning . My dog has to be vaccinated this week and I got into de clinic just to know the time they close and for my surprise I was totally ignored by the rude receptionist that noticed that I had come in but not even a good morning or something like that . I was stood for a few minutes in front of her and I just asked a quick question that was: excuse me what time do you guys close ? And she answered me with the head down Ignoring me totally. And I just asked if I need to have appointment for vaccination or not. She was super rude and answered that I have to wait because there was more client there. It is simple, I just expected a yes or no question, but unfortunately, the lady was not willing to help. Maybe she is the owner and it explains why this place is always empty. The last time I took my dog I observed the way she treated the lady who asked a simple question as well. We pay for the expensive service, it's not free. We deserve to have a humanitarian service specially in the front . Anyway . I don't feel comfortable with this kind of service because I am accustomed to dealing with polite people.

I will trust holistic vets most from here on out! This place gave me hope for my cat after 5 days of trauma at the ER and other vets. Dr Gapas and her son are amazing. Bringing her here was the turning point for my cat. She felt better. She needed to eat, the ER never addressed that. Dr. Gapas fed her and showed me how to make special food to give her through a syringe. Amazing place, thank you for offering us some relief!

Long over due!
My frenchie has had a few leg injuries and with his prior Veterinarian he was being treated for a back leg limp. Worried that it could turn into IVDD real fast he was put on medication for the inflammation as well as something to “calm” him down. Unfortunately that prescription wasn’t for him and when contacting the vet they did very little to address my concern. After a couple of day he wasn’t himself and wasn’t walking and would urinate on himself. Deeply concerned a close friend recommended Animal Clinic in Astoria, wanting a second opinion I called on a Saturday morning and expressed my concern and they said they would love to see him that very same day. Every single person inside the office showed so much love to my Bleu and were truly invested in figuring out what was going on with him. After multiple test Dr.Gapas sat down with me and explained what could be happening with him and set up a plan to get him back to his happy self. The following day they called just to check up on him and that meant a lot to me. I also had another meeting with them that following Monday to discuss his x-rays with another Dr there which also took her time to discuss the results and to see him walk around. My dog is better than ever and was back to normal after a couple days. I’m so glad I got a second opinion because they truly treat our pets like family. Thank you to everyone single person at the Animal Coinic 🐾❤️

My cat Bullseye (18 years old) wasn’t feeling well and very sick, Dr. Gappas was amazing and she really cares for animals. The entire staff was helpful and really supportive during this stressful time. I would highly recommend this Vet for your pets. Thank you so much to the entire staff you have no idea how grateful we are of your help.

As the head of an animal rescue society, I deal with vets frequently. We have found it home yet with caring and knowledgeable professionals. Less expensive than Manhattan travel.
