I've been bringing my brand new toy poodle puppy to Austin Vet Care from the beginning. He's 4 months old now and he got all of his shots here. I trust the doctor and the techs - they seem very genuine and are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Every time I've gone in, they address all my questions and make my little man very comfortable. Takeisha at the front desk is always so sweet. Price-wise, they may indeed be slightly higher than other places, especially within a bigger corps like Petco or PetSmart. And truly, I may change vets at some point, but for now and as a brand new puppy, I wanted to bring my fur baby to a good vet. For example, they quoted me $100+ for him getting microchipped and I wasn't about to pay that much. I ended up getting him microchipped for ~$40 (plus my breeder reimbursed me that amount, too). But again, I personally feel very comfortable and very happy with the service they provide here - though they are sometimes busy (and reply late to text messages) and not very flexible with scheduling (later hours). But if you're okay with that and able to be understanding, I think it's not that huge of a deal. Thank you Dr Russell and Austin Vet Care staff for taking such good care of my Odin! read more

So far I have had a very good experience with this vet. My dog had an emergency and they took great care of her. The people who work there are calm, reassuring, knowledgeable and know how to calm their patients' humans. I recommend highly. read more

This place has fallen off a cliff. Vets have left and new staff is always late on approvals for chewy delivery medications for my sick dog. For your pets sake take them elsewhere. Was great during pandemic but have fallen off terribly. read more

So, let me start by saying, my original Vet closed and automatically sent all my dogs records here, that's how I ended up with them. I have a senior dog who is diabetic and takes insulin 2x a day. I was away for a few days and knew I was running low, so I placed my order w Chewy(like I do every month). I knew it would be delivered within 2 days, so I had no worries. When I returned home, my bf said, it was never delivered. Mind you this was on a Saturday night @11pm. I immediately called Chewy, only to find out the Vet cancelled my order w no warning, not even a call!!! The reason they gave is my dog was due for her yearly visit. So, instead of calling me, to give me the opportunity to make an appt, they just declined the request for her insulin!!! What kind of Doctor does that???? Disgraceful!!! Since I only had enough for one more shot, I had to get her into an emergency hospital, just for a bottle of insulin. It cost me $800, this was totally avoidable, with just a call or text from the Vet. I have NEVER experienced such unprofessional behavior from a Doctor!!! At the end of the day, it's about the welfare of the animal, but in their case, it's solely about the money!!!!! read more

We brought our dog, Bella in today for a scheduled appointment. Like many dogs, Bella is super anxious and picks up on humans feelings towards her, she requires special care from people who care. Although she is really sweet and has never even nipped anyone, I keep a muzzle on her while she's at the vet because she is scared and nervous. The staff were kind to her and she was comfortable with them, so comfortable that when they clipped her nails they were able to do it without her muzzle. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right vet, quality care, competent staff, safe environment, reasonable prices and more, but the final factor is when Bella chooses the vet. read more

Vet care is expensive. It just is. And maybe AVC charges more than other clinics for procedures and medications; they're a small business doing their best. That said, I have nothing but good feelings about Austin Veterinary Care. My first experience was with my late dog, BillyBob. My father and I brought him to Austin Veterinary Care when he was around 15 years old and suddenly incontinent. The staff and Dr. Miller immediately fell in love with him and were very conscious of the emotions we were all feeling, BillyBob included. Their care and bedside manner made his last moments (following an exam that all but confirmed GI cancer -- for a 95lb dog, 15 years was incredible already) a lot easier to process and savor. We went back to pick up his ashes soon after putting him down and were touched to see that they were in a lovely wooden box with an engraved name plate and a slot for a photo. That slot is now filled with a photo of him and my lovely mother who he deeply missed after she passed the year before. After that experience and the adoption months later of a boroughbred from the ACC, the very same staff got to meet Teddy, my German Shepherd. There must be something magical about the hiring process here because Teddy adores every member of the AVC team. He was seen by the wonderful techs and Dr. Miller for an initial exam, shots, and a scrotal hematoma he sustained from his recent neuter at the shelter. The care he received was wonderful and I knew that we would be sticking with AVC for as long as I live in Queens. Teddy has severe environmental allergies that are very costly to treat, no matter how you look at it. Yet, during such a hard time for all small businesses, the practice manager, Lucy, and her staff have extended incredible generosity to help me improve Teddy's health. I am in no way looking to invalidate the experiences that others have had with this practice or with Dr. Miller. No person or business or perfect. But Austin Veterinary Care is perfect for Teddy and I look forward to the day I discover how to repay the people who work here for the kindness they have showed me. I wish I had a picture of Teddy with the staff he loves so dearly. For now, I will just upload a picture of the bear himself. A sweet dog that gets a second chance at life through organizations like the Animal Care Center and local businesses like Austin Veterinary Care. read more

Austin Veterinary Care - Teddy, biggest fan of Austin Veterinary Care. - Veterinarians Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

An amazing clinic! The receptionist is very friendly. There is only one so it's a wonder she has so much charisma between the phones and checking people in/out. The technicians were absolutely wonderful! Dr. Russell was thorough, diagnosing my cat's heart murmur that other doctors missed, discussing importance of preventative medicine, and being friendly! I found a new vet for my cat (possibly more cats in the soon to be future). read more

My first instinct was right on my first review. I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt but two of my friends have also been scammed by this place. Stay far away! read more

Overpriced and they never flexible with schedules. Examination fee is always required even if your dog was just there couple weeks ago, it makes no sense for me to pay twice for examination. Definitely, finding another veterinary. read more

Do NOT bring your pet to this Vet/Dr.Miller. i took my cat in to see if she has a Urinary tract infection and she came out with bloody paws. Dr. Miller nor the staff mentioned what happened. I realized her injuries after leaving with my cat back home because I refused to pay $1,225 for all the exams he asked for. Example he was asking for $310 for a culture and sensitive test all together where elsewhere they charge between $110 - $115 for both of them together. I found out later that North Animal hospital is much cheaper $110 and also lefferts animal hospital. This Veterinary clinic is doing some serious price gauging plus they mishandled my cat. Yes my cat is not the easiest but my cat has gone in the past to other vets and they handle her with care and she never came out injured like that. So now I have to take her to see another Vet. Update: Spoke with "Dr.Miller" and him and his staff forcefully forced my cat out of the cage instead of opening the cage wide open they brutally force her out through the small opening and my cat was grabbing onto the cage in fear and she injured her front and back nails and bleed. They were so unprofessional. They need to get trained cause it seem like they dont know how to treat an animal that is stressed. This shows how much they care more about the money then the animal. read more

Austin Vet provided my cat with the upmost excellent care.  My 6 month playful cat previously had surgery. While recovering at home, he was playing too hard and had injured himself resulting his stitches to open.  Austin Vet provided my cat with a 12 day care. They had great follow-up and Dr. Miller called everyday with an update. Dr. Miller was personable and professional. I'm grateful for their help. The team at Austin Vet was awesome.  Thank you to Lucy and Jocelyn. read more

I went to this vet in panic because I had some concern with my cats health. Although I read every review here I still decided to give it a chance. Receptionist are very accommodating I have no complains about them. But overall the service isn't very much professional as I expected. I was served by Elie Miodownik, the Possible diagnose that was given to me was over "100" possible thing which his intentions to cause panic was not very cool and although personally I felt like his intentions was more about up selling rather than being concern for my pet. Huge disappointment !! overwhelmed by his chatter I have requested urine test to be taken. Be Aware they do upsell unnecessary test on your pet. Which huge red flag I noticed. Kindly refused. After refusing unnecessary medications like shot used for cat who have pain for arthritis. I was a bit confused whether or not these doctors are licensed to diagnose. I was informed that the doctor should be calling me back with result between 24-48 never heard back I personally had to call the receptionist who kindly emailed me the results. Who I personally had to call my primary vet to explain the result to me and help me out from there. Never got a call back from the vet who serviced me but was a random Dr. who left a voice mail. I was just furious. Only reason i went there was because the vet was fully booked. I won't be coming back . I recommend VCG Astoria ! read more

Only go to this place if you are rich. I'll be paying close to $600 in vaccines for my kitten with NO health concerns. Then they are recommending I neuter my kitten... guess the price? $600+ I won't be going to them! I found places around nyc that will do the job for $50-$125. I'm so upset. read more

You know that feeling you get when you get when you take your car into the mechanic and you feel like they are trying to take advantage of your wallet and not giving you helpful information. That's how this place feels. I never felt like this place actually cared about the health of my pet. They told me something was urgent but didn't have any helpful numbers or contacts to suggest. Really dissatisfied. read more

Would have been a new customer, but before I could say anything when they answered my call - I got "please hold" and so i said "sure" only after being on hold for a bit, I then got disconnected. With the advent of caller ID, they COULD have called me back. But alas, no call back. And to be honest - with a business that stands to make a mess of money off of me because I believe vet visits are important for my pets - I kind of expect to be put on hold correctly, and not dumped after waiting for a bit just to tell you my name, even. I called another place, was spoken to never put on hold and me and my large pup have an appt elsewhere. read more

I had been taking all of my pets to Trylon (Doctor Andino, Wyler and Yee) for years and did not know that the practice recently changed hands. Take note: A lot has changed. The vibe is lukewarm and both the staff and the Dr's were/are focused on pushing services, like businesses do. Diversity is key, gentlemen: I'm a guy and even I'm not loving the all male Doctor lineup. My cat went in for a reaction to a household cleaner. She got a rabies shot (required by law) and a cortisone shot. One week later and my cat is now sneezing and tired. Additionally, no follow-up call was placed to me regarding her stool sample results. The old crew would have called. If my cat doesn't improve, I'll have to go back to the vet, but it won't be this place. read more

I've had only wonderful experiences each time I've brought my puppy Charlie in to Austin Vet Care. Each member of their team has been kind, warm and helpful at each and every visit. The front desk, assistants, Dr. Mio and Dr. Sevalla are exceptional and I am so glad that I have found a neighborhood vet that I am so happy with! Highly recommend. read more

I am so grateful to the vets and staff at this practice. I had to make an extremely tough decision to put my cat down and they showed such compassion and warmth to me in such a dark time. They went above and beyond to help me any way they could in terms of my cat's comfort and best interest and also the fees. Special thanks to Dr. Russell, Christine, and Lucy. All of the staff are exceptional. Thank you for making my Waffles comfortable until the end. I know he is in heaven with my Muffin. read more

Please know the effort by this clinic to hire people to write 5 star reviews. They not only asked me to take down my 1 star review for $50, they asked my husband to write a 5 star and they'd pay $100. They are focusing on having these reviewers claim they can't believe the 1 star reviews, that the place was having a turn over from the old clinic and may have had some hiccups but cleaned up their act and they are just so happy with them that everyone should use them and there's no more chaos! Ha! If anyone believes these carefully orchestrated reviews you deserve what's coming. And to the reviewer calling me out as a liar, she mustve not read the other reviewers lol. They have 2 stars and it isn't all because of me. Sounds like one of the manager's friends got creative. A lot of cursing doesn't make you more believable. So funny how both their 5 star reviews were written at midnight on the same night. They are the same person hahaha nice try read more

I was told today I could no longer buy a $100 bag of food for my cat recommended by Austin Veterinary Care. This was because my cat was due for shots I have not scheduled yet. I have been a customer for 2 years and was never told that food recommended by Austin Veterinary Care was conditional. Again, my cat does not need to eat the $100 bag of food, but was recommended to do so. I have consistently bought $100 bags of food for my pet. The last visit for shots I paid $1000 after recommended "Testing". This place seems scammy! No it is scammy. When I asked to speak with management as expected management was not available. Yet, management made the call to inform me my business was no longer appreciated. I need a new vet! Simba can get food from somewhere else! I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! read more

I had a completely positive experience bringing my 2 cats in to Austin Vet for annual checkups. The front desk receptionist Trish was warm and caring and made me feel right at home. I cannot say enough about how gently and flawlessly Dr. Mio and his assistant Christine were in handling my little ones. My cats were street cats who are not tolerant of strangers. In the past vets at other places refused to do the exams unless the cats were sedated (hissing, scratching, biting). Although they were nervous, ears back and tense, my cats tolerated their exams without any drama and fits thanks to the expertise and gentle confident handling by the doctor. My questions were answered thoroughly and patiently and I received some great tips and advice. All in all it was a sigh of relief to finally find a great vet place in Forest Hills to bring my little ones to! read more

Went in to make an appointment and the staff was talking loudly about them not being happy with something. It was awkward. No smile. No one could answer anything about pricing. Got 3 different answers. A Dr walked by me and I said hello, I received nothing back. Not even a nod. A woman was complaining she had been waiting forever. One tech saw a pee puddle and walked over it. Update: The manager offered me a free exam to go back... all I can say is what a mistake. I was rushed out. Dr did not seem to care. They wanted to sell me a lot of unecessary things. I also had to argue to get my free exam smh. Then I left and realize I paid for the exam. Wow read more

I have been going to this veterinary place ever since I got my Zeus, 4 years now. I skipped a whole year because my cat is just wild and he is too smart for me to be able to drug him. He lost his voice though a couple of weeks now so I just had to take him. First time with Dr. Miller...and Zeus actually didn't claw anyone's eyes out. Sometimes it's all about the aura and chemistry between doctor and patient. It just worked and that's what matters to me, a vet that can actually handle my Zeus :) read more

The veterinary staff members at Austin Vet Care delivered great patient care for my dog. Everyone was friendly and professional. They also offered a lot of services - equipped with x-ray, dental, and in-house blood work machines. I would definitely visit again. Between the transition from Trylon and the previous staffs, to what it is currently with the new team, there definitely was a short period of time where things might've seem chaotic at the clinic. Based on that, I can see why some of the previous reviews might say otherwise to the good vet care my dog received. read more

My cat had a chronic health condition that resulted in many vet visits during her last two years of life. The best course of action had been laid out in the medical records, with the vet from another clinic giving explicit details to Dr. Lu as to what the cat needed. But he saw dollar signs and set out to sell us more vitamin supplements and their cat food as he had previously. (If they ever say they are "giving you" food or supplements, expect it to be on the bill at a high cost.). He appeared to not even look at the medical records or recall the phone call with the other vet. He said the cat was too young to have cancer (the cat was 16). And then he said it was allergies and we needed to have his special food to rule it out. When I questioned this, he got mad. I did not allow them to "give" us any more items. I suggest you go somewhere else - your pets deserve better. read more

As another reviewer said, I am definitely not getting paid to write anything. Dr. Miller and his staff were great with a trio of cats I brought in this week; one required follow-up dental surgery. When it comes to animals, I get that people's emotions can take over, but I'm confident that the staff has the animals' interest at the foremost of their mind! read more

I brought my cat here to get examined for a mouth issue. I was hit with a $2500 estimate. Who has that in a pandemic? I work part-time. I explained that to the staff and I was asked, well how much do you have? In addition to this, instead of giving my cat a shot of antibiotics, I was sent home with a liquid. You would think they would know a cat with mouth issues might have difficulty with taking something orally. My cat cried in pain and hid from me for hours after I gave him the first dose. So the medicine these people gave me to give to my cat with mouth problems has alcohol. It burned his mouth. he longer trusts me, runs from, and hasn't eaten a full meal in days. DO NOT bring your pet here. read more

I have no idea why the reviews are so poor here. I've been going here for about a year now and have only had great experiences. The staff is welcoming & caring. They've always been very patient with my nervous rescue pup and are very attentive during exams. Unfortunately for me, this location is a bit out of the way but I make the trip because i trust them. Oh ps no one paid me to write this....I don't know what that rumor is all about but I definitely don't believe it. read more

First off... to Randy R. Who paid you to write such a terrible review? A former disgruntled employee that used to work there? Hmmmm? You're totally full of shit and a liar. There are a lot of LIARS leaving bogus reviews in an attempt to discredit Austin Vet. I had been a client of Trylon for years. They never informed me that they were selling the practice, I only found out when I walked in there. Brought my 16 year old cat to what is now Austin Vet and met Dr. Shark. Told him how important it was for me to have a doctor that was consistent and I can have confidence in. He examined my cat probably 3 times. He "seemed" sincere and caring . My Angel is very sick. He scheduled her for surgery and when I happened to go there about a week before the scheduled surgery to pickup food, I was told he was no longer there! WTF? I was very upset. The receptionist was very empathetic and validated my feelings of anger. No communication at all from him. HE should have informed me, not the staff, HIM. He turned out to be full of shit too. Which brings me to my experience this past week. I met Dr. Miller and I brought Angel in so he can "meet" her before the surgery. Was scheduled to bring her back two days later for a 4:30 appointment but ended up having to rush her there in the morning because she went downhill overnight. Today is DAY 7 that my Angel is there at the facility after undergoing surgery. She was in such bad shape. Dr. Lu performed the surgery and Dr. Miller has been taking care of her all week along with the techs Nicole and Joselyn, and even Trish the receptionist and the office manager Lucy have been there for her. They have been busting their asses taking care of her. Total dedication. I was there yesterday, and today I was there for hours and got to really see firsthand the level of dedication they ALL have. They are doing everything in their power to help her get through this. She's a fighter too. BTW, to everyone who wants to complain about the costs, at the end of the day it is still a business. They have to get paid too. Shit cost money. Same as when you go to your doctor or you get a procedure done. First thing they ask you is.... What insurance do you have? They gotta get paid. Most people don't have pet insurance so it's going to be a big expense. Just imagine if you didn't have health insurance and had to pay out of pocket. Sorry not sorry, but having a pet is a commitment and medical issues are going to happen. Either purchase insurance or start an emergency fund exclusively for pet emergencies. Listen... if someone has a legitimate issue then fine, that's their experience. I'm telling you what I'm experiencing right now and it is nothing like what these other reviewers are claiming. read more

Dr. Miller, Lucy and the team were great taking care of our beloved dog Messy! They were super responsive, going above and beyond expectations with their willingness to consult with us by phone and email numerous times after our visit to help diagnose and treat the illness Messy has. They were humble enough to listen to our opinion and they prescribed the right meds. Messy is now much better and on the road to recovery. Thank you Austin Veterinary Care! read more

We called and got an apt on a Sunday within 2 hours. We brought our cat in for the first time here and every person from the receptionist to the vet and the vet tech were amazing. They explained everything to us, the pricing and were very caring this place is wonderful. read more

I saw Dr. Miller in September 2019 and my main issues with Dr. Miller are his lack of communication skills and lack of professionalism, he is very condescending and judgmental when discussing your care for your dog. He also insults you about completely irrelevant things. For example, we stated we lived very close and may be able to run back to our house to pick up a necessary document and he responded with "yea, it looks like you could use the exercise" to my boyfriend. We were very confused and could not believe this VETERINARIAN just commented on my boyfriends weight when it is our dog with which he should be concerned. Then, I let him know I use Sentinel for heartworm medication and he pretty much implied I made a dumb decision when he said "thats not very smart". Then when I asked if I could buy his recommended joint supplements somewhere else other than his office he became petty and passive aggressive and said to his receptionist "Ms. ___ here thinks she can find it for cheaper somewhere else" Just COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. There was SO MANY other unprofessional behaviors but I am not going to list them all. The main reason I am writing a review today in April 2020 is because I called in for a dental emergency for my dog and they tried to schedule a routine physical on top of the dental emergency visit even though she just had her physical in September 2019. Can you focus on the emergency I am calling in for and stop trying to get as much money out of me as possible? On top of that, we are in the GLOBAL COVID19 PANDEMIC and every responsible veterinarian is trying to limit exposure and mitigate risk by suspending all wellness visits. She had a FULL PHYSICAL in September so why does she need another one now during a global pandemic when she isn't even due for her annual checkup? If you are reading this Dr. Miller, work on your professionalism and communication skills because having a degree and vet license doesn't make you a professional. Regardless, I am never going to let my dog be your patient again. Your office has shown that you have no regard for public health and only care about profits. All the restrictions and signs you have on your door are clearly for show and just to protect yourself and not the public. If you don't even care about the public during a global pandemic, I wonder how much you care about us and our pets on a daily basis. read more

I'm writing another update on my experience with Austin Vet Care because my husband and I got a second dog and didn't hesitate for a moment as to whether we would bring her to Austin Vet Care. Dr. Miller has been so helpful, especially as our puppy had an upset stomach for a few days and we had to take her in unexpectedly. They have good COVID precautions in place and we don't worry when they take our pups inside as to whether they are in good hands. Dr. Miller answered my many questions on the phone with detailed and informative answers, and even went so far as to recommend something we could do when I mentioned that our puppy really struggled taking her medication, and also checked to see whether there was a pill form of the medication available for her weight. Amanda has also been a total gem to work with, she is incredibly nice and helpful. If we were to move out of Forest Hills at some point, I think my first concern would be about finding another vet to take care of our babies! read more

Dr. Miller, Lucy and all the team are wonderful amazing people! I have been using them for quite a few years and love the care of both my 3 cats and my dog Fletcher. They have always made time for my questions , and concerns about my pets. They have been there during the pandemic which makes these people frontline works and angels in my opinion! read more

Dr. Miller is the best vet . He is very caring and loves all his animals. He tried to save my cat but he had cancer. Very caring.

We used to go to Trylon and liked it, but then they were bought out by Austin Vet Clinic, and the new place is super shady. We made an appointment to refill a prescription and they instructed us to bring a stool sample, giving no indication that this was optional. So we did. Then at the end of the visit, the bill was more than 200 dollars. Turns out the fecal test, that we neither wanted nor needed, was more expensive than the full medical exam. They're out here taking advantage of pet parents who just want to do the best for their little ones. They need to be more transparent with their pricing. Best to avoid this place. read more

Do NOT take your animal here. Worst vet office ever. We just moved to the area from Suffolk county, Long Island. Before moving, we made sure to contact this place so that our 14 year old diabetic cat could continue her treatment plan. We sent her records three weeks earlier and you think they could take 5 minutes to read them over before we got there? Not a chance. For years, our former vet was giving our cat steroid injections as long her blood sugar was under control. Admittedly, not all vets would want to do this but this idiot would know that if he read her records and could have told us before we dragged our cat all the way in there. He wanted to "remove all her teeth" before giving her the injection. So he really wanted us to have to pay him thousands of dollars. I took my cat and stormed out of that abysmal, disgustingly inhumane office. Now my cat has to suffer because she will be in pain until we can find another appointment. Never had such poor service in my entire life. If you love your animal, do NOT go to this place. read more

My dog had an eye infection during the winter and our primary veterinarian was out of town, so I took him to Austin Veterinary Care. I agreed to pay for a general physical exam in addition to evaluating his eye, since he was a new patient to them. Because of common veterinary COVID-19 protocol, I could not enter the clinic myself and had to wait outside in the cold. They told me the visit would take 15-20 minutes, but I ended up waiting outside for closer to 2 hours. I never met the veterinarian in person, and only spoke with him over the phone. He told me that my dog had significant gingivitis and would likely need multiple teeth extracted. They gave me a quote for about $1200-$1600 to perform all the dental care he would need. I was startled to hear this, despite knowing that my wife and I have struggled providing proper dental hygiene for our dog. He added that my dog was suffering due to oral infections and it would be cruel not to go ahead with the procedures and likely surgery. I ended up waiting to speak with our established vet about this. She saw our dog 1 week later and concluded there is no way to determine the severity of his gingivitis without imaging, which our dog had not yet received. Furthermore, he did not appear to be suffering, and I personally feel that the vet at Austin Care was likely taking advantage of my emotions. Our established vet recommended a proper dental cleaning under anesthesia, which was not urgently needed. My wife and I continued our dog's care with her, and he got his dental cleaning 3 months after the initial visit at Austin Care. Ultimately, he did not need ANY teeth extracted. The final bill was about $800 in total for all his dental care. In conclusion, my experience at Austin Veterinary Care was terrible. They tried to make me feel like a horrible dog parent if I did not agree to a procedure that would have likely been aggressive, unnecessary, and would have certainly worsened my dog's quality of life. I think from the very start, they were price gouging and tried to rack up my bill as much as possible. I am grateful that I did not continue my dog's care with them and I don't intend to return to their clinic again. read more

Horrible service...they overcharge and do unnecessary procedures in order to get more money from you. They charged us almost $600 for a regular check up for our healthy cat, including $200 on a rash (without explaining what they thought was occurring or asking consent before performing procedures). The vet techs were good with my cat (who is admittedly a nightmare at the vet) but the vet himself (Dr. Shark) was dismissive, minimally answered questions, and bent a needle while giving my cat an injection (which was another non-informed consent procedure for almost $200) and proceeded to reuse the bent needle to finish the dose. HORRIBLE. We will not be going back. They take advantage of people who trusted Trylon (the business they bought out). read more
