    Charlie after day 7 of radiation!

    I can't say enough about the staff at Animal Specialty Center. From the employees at the front desk to everyone in between.... THANK YOU!!! Your compassion for animals (and their owners) shows! The love and care they provided to our pup Charlie during his radiation will never be forgotten. Dr. Rosen along with her entire staff (Karina, Victoria, Nadia, Sandra, India, Shirley, and Christina) were amazing!!! They made Charlie feel loved and cared for, which in turn made us extremely comfortable knowing that he's in good hands! We are forever grateful for all of you! You'll all have a special place in our prayers and hearts! Xoxo

    Services they claim they did NOTHING

    If I could give minus star I would !! This place is far the worse I've ever experienced while away on vacation , my Dog Sitter saw my babies eye infected. He takes him to Banfield, which I have insurance, for they tell him the doctor is not in at normal hours and it's best he goes to ASC Why do I pay insurance for five years? Never had one answer I go tO ASC in Yonkers and they, see my baby after three hours of WAITING TO TELL HIM TO take meds which I had already for his eye. They claim They tested him while they didn't touch Hilmi They charge a fee 295 and then want more for testing and treatment coming out to over $600! I then find out my Amex card has been applied. It once but 4 separate times "fraud" while my sitter already paid for the amount due in full. I wish I was there as they took advantage of a 17 year old high school kid and threatened him they won't release dog if bill not paid. Once I get back I will seek legal Action as they did nothing else but scam me and the poor kid out of money for NO SERVICE at all. They even wouldn't let us see the ointment they claim they gave my baby. That's disgusting! BEWARE!!!!!

    I came to the Yonkers specialty care hospital at 2pm for my beloved pup. They charged me as soon as I walked in for an exam, my pup was sooo weak you can see him suffering. I waited for four hours and an half with no examination done yet. I asked the young girls at the front desk multiple times for updates and they were on their cell phone or just taking their time. Especially the PM receptionist. They saw my distress and worry and acted careless. Finally, they stated that King was not examined yet due to his vitals showing normal and stable so the doctor was attending to other critical cases coming in. I asked how much longer and they stated that it would be about 3 hours longer because they were short staff and that was the only doctor on duty. I would have to wait for the PM doctor to come in at 9-9:30 pm. I became in a deeper distress and anxiety. I asked for a refund and took King to another emergency vet. Come to find out my king had an obstruction going on the whole time. HE WAS ALSO A CRITICAL CASE!! It was too long before the surgery took place. King has passed away by the time her received surgery at another hospital. My pup might've been saved at the Animal specialty care Center had they done their exam. I did everything in my power to save my baby and I will not rest until I get justice. Vets and staff really need to learn that our pets are like our loved ones and just as serious as a human being. King was my all!!. I have 2 other babies Starlet and Rocky and I fear for them. I am so scared of vets now. Our pets need, if not all but most, equal rights as humans with medical attention. #justiceforking https://chng.it/Lg7pgh9P5n

I brought my dog in on a Sunday AM (my regular vet is closed on Sundays) because of severe diarrhea ( to the point of not being able to lift her hind legs) all night on Saturday. I thought they would test the stool sample (VEG told me they do not test stool samples which I later found out to be untrue) and prescribe some antibiotics but instead they did a battery of blood work and found nothing and sent me home with some probiotics. She got worse and I brought her back after a few hours, after more blood work, I was sent home with some pain meds. My dog got worse over the next 24 hours, and when I brought her to my regular vet on Monday, they tested the stool and prescribed antibiotics for Giardia. My dog was better after the first dose. The bill from VEG was astronomical and my poor dog was still in pain, unnecessarily for over 24 hours, even after going to VEG twice. I filed a complaint with a manager at VEG in Garden City and they said they would run it by the Director but I still haven't heard back. My complaint was filed on May 11, 2026. Today is May 21, 2026.

It was respectfully, professionally, and tactfully communicated to us the exact diagnosis our cat was under, along with the reasons why that conclusion could be made. Unfortunately it was a fatal condition and nothing could be done besides relieving her pain. She lived a long and happy life of 18 years. Despite the outcome, the staff was empathetic and supportive during the process and afterwards. The loss of a pet is never easy, but the way the situation was handled was the best it could have been. Thank you to all the staff working yesterday evening.

Beyond the teams incredible intelligence and skill, you provided a sense of peace even while I was completely distraught. You are all so personable that I actually found myself enjoying little moments with you, which made such a nightmare situation feel a little less dark. Wally is my absolute world, my best friend and my biggest source of happiness, seeing the compassion you poured into him means everything to me. Thank you for not giving up on him and for giving us more years of life together. You are all truly angels on earth and will have a permanent place in my heart. I wish you all the biggest blessings. With so much love, Wally's mom :)

Called this place after doing an extensive search for a decently rated pet ER (not many around me). I am so thankful there is at least one, and they're open 'round the clock. Was placed in an examination room and was seen fairly quickly by a tech for vitals, followed by the vet (I swear I tried so hard to remember her name to give her a personal shout out but stress took away my memory). She was awesome. Thorough and caring. While nothing appeared to be an evident emergency, my cat was clearly suffering from something hurting him. Recommended course of action seemed slightly excessive, but this vet truly stepped up to help me out. I consented to an xray, which indicated constipation. Treatment included sub-q hydration, anti-nausea medication, and a laxative. Cat had never been poked and prodded so much in his life. But he was such a good boy, and thankfully never bit or scratched- just growled and hissed. I would have too, little buddy!! I truly, sincerely appreciate knowing my boy doesn't have any bowel obstruction or anything worse. Great relief that we'll manage with the laxative and hopefully he'll be good as new. Thank you to the Vet Tech and the assistant who were both so helpful and supportive (and whose names I also forgot). Great team.

And after we'd gone home they kept calling to check in on our cat to see if we had any other questions or concerns. They were so wonderful. Again the costs kicked our butt but in an emergency they were amazing.
