    Him today just as happy as can be.

    I just want to start by saying, If you love your pet do not take it here, let me explain. We had an accident with a door and our love bird,his injuries were not as bad as it seemed. My girlfriend in a panic she took him to Avets in Monroeville. Without x-rays or testing they stated the bird was suffering from bleeding and brain swelling because his eyelid was swollen. Avets said he should have a grey ring in his eye "(his eyes are black as most of our lovebirds eyes are)"they stated he had blood behind his eyes and low vitals. We hand raise all of our birds and they are trusting to lay on their backs in your hand and are people friendly. Avets said he was acting incorrectly,too friendly. Someone consulted with my girlfriend and was trying to convince her euthanize him, even after he flew, was sitting up on his own, was alert and normal. When my girlfriend refused euthanization Avets then said they would need to give him extensive care @ $1500.00 a day. Then as if things weren't bad enough they had the ordasity to ask what the budget was for the bill? We were billed for 2 consults and they bill hourly. This has to be the most unprofessional and straight up rude way to conduct a business. She called me crying about everything going on and I'm in total disbelief that of what's going on. I talked to her on speaker till the vet entered the room, she stated they had pretty much done everything they could and it was our choice to take him home untreated by them? (I guess that was everything they could do right?) An injection for swelling and pain was administered upon arrival and it seemed to be working. A couple hrs later they were pressuring her into giving him another shot before they left. That would only be $100 on top of the $320.16 for one shot. We already had the meds at home, but I overheard the vet say it wasn't the correct dosage. It absolutely was according to a reputable vet that prescribed it. If we decided to take their advice and put him to sleep we would have lost our lovebird. We got nothing but negativity and a so called professional opinion based on absolutely nothing. Plus wasted hours doing nothing!! ( I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!) If you love your pet do not take it to these folks because they are unprofessional, and absolutely don't care about anything but making money from your heartbreaking pet issues. Now a few weeks later he is 100% with no issues and with his mate and their 4 little ones. Every event is documented in this review.

    Sick Teddy

    Unfortunately I would rather not have this experience to review an emergency vet however, life was lifing and here we are. I called a local vet (I am not local) they referred me here.. I called.. for the run down.. my drive was an hour... we arrived.. took puppers in.. we were signed in and asked to wait in our vehicle (due to puppers being possibly contagious and they were looking out for our puppers and all others that may seek treatment) we were greeted and taken care of by Aliz and Dr Benton. Very comprehensive, very compassionate and knowledgeable! We are very pleased with them, their services provided and their knowledge and leadership. They turned a bad day into optimism and transparency to which made a long day worth while. Teddy and Leah thank you lady's and your behind the scenes team. I hope not to be back, however if needed, we will graciously return and highly recommend.

    Dr. Ben Ley has been a true blessing to my family and we cannot recommend him enough! If you need a veterinary surgeon in the Pittsburgh area, he is absolutely the best. We brought our 13 year old lab, Jenna, to him for a front leg amputation due to osteosarcoma. While many vets might have dismissed her as too old to go through this surgery, we knew Jenna was strong enough and determined enough to be able to adjust to having 3 legs (I'm a veterinarian myself and knew medically there was nothing limiting this, despite her old age). Dr. Ley took the time to truly listen and understand the full picture of who Jenna is and what her capabilities were prior to her cancer. He actually treated her as an individual instead of just another case. He was incredibly compassionate, and the consultation filled us with so much hope and confidence in him. His demeanor was so pleasant and empathetic and we really felt like he cared about us and Jenna. During her hospital stay, he was very communicative and gave us plenty of thorough updates, and was patient enough to answer all of our many questions. He did an excellent job with the actual surgery and Jenna made a quick recovery. Thanks to Dr. Ley, Jenna is now RUNNING on 3 legs!!! She used to run all the time but hadn't run for months due to the pain from her cancer. She's jumping, playing, rolling around in the snow, and living her very best life. This is the happiest I have ever seen her and we are so grateful for this miracle. Thank you so much Dr. Ley and the whole AVETS team!!!!

    We want ur $. Here's some free coffee.

    Our cat was breathing weird. So they told us to come in right now. We got there and was telling us how much it cost us. Like if we don't pay more you don't care about your animals. Receptionist was rude to us after waiting 4.5hours and just wanted to know an update. My wife asked to know what was going on with our cat, the receptionist told my wife " sit down and be patient."We r still here 6hours in. Already up to $2,000. All I see with these people is" a pay check". They don't care about your pets. Vets make you feel like shit if you don't agree to $5,000 for full over look, but must pay first in case your pet dies". Only interested in the $. Everytime the vet who has no people skills came back kept pushing us to do the 3 day hospital stay for $7,000. We will not take any animals here again. In the waiting room 4 pets came in and bc no one have enough money they put the animals asleep. These are ruthless people. Turns out our vet said him has a mild pneumonia. Take ur animals somewhere else.

    See all

    I have moved a lot of places in my lifetime and seem to acquire a new animal in every place I go,…read moreyou could say I've become quite the collector lol. Every place and animal means a new vet. Northern Pike was our vet before we left PA and I can't tell you enough how grateful that I am to be back with them now that we are back in PA. No other place has come even remotely close to comparing with how far NPV is willing to go to help our family with fur. They are knowledgeable, dedicated and truly have the absolute most compassion and logic when it comes to doing what's best. They have always prioritized and come through in emergency situations and have gone out of their way to help us even on their days off. Dr. Martin, Dr. Angie, Dr. Tyler and Dr. Haggerty are the main vets we see there however I know all of their vets and staff are fantastic. We have had nothing but great experiences and truly have so much love for this place. So if you are looking for a Vet that you can truly count on to do what's best in taking care of your family, Northern Pike Vet is where I would choose every single time, over and over again. We appreciate you guys and all that you do!

    I so appreciate Northern Pike Veterinary Hospital. I have a 7 year old pit bull mix who loves going…read morethere! Dr. Haggerty is thorough in her exams, educational and loves you pet. The staff is wonderful too. Thank you for making Veterinary visits a pleasure
