Bethlehem Veterinary Hospital - My Dolly girl - Veterinarians Near Me - Glenmont, New York

I started at Bethlehem Veterinary Hospital (444 Rte 9W, Glenmont, NY 12077) about a year ago. I always kept my appointments and was early on most occasions (I have 3 dogs). I always enjoyed the staff and the Doctors. I did what I was told to do and paid my bills on the day of service. I have spent in excess of $3,000+ over the past year at BVH. The veterinarian, Dr. DeFiores, suggested an oral surgery for my older dog, Dakota and I set it up right away and followed his instructions every step of the way. We noticed that my dog had a small growth on her eyelid and he told me he could remove it during the dental surgery and it would only take him a moment. He also indicated he would not charge me for that procedure. After the surgery I noticed that the growth was still there and I questioned why the procedure that the vet and I discussed in detail was not performed at my dog's dental surgery. Via text message I was in turn blamed by the office and told that it was my responsibility to remind them of the procedure. I did remind the technician about removing the eye growth when they were taking Dakota back for her surgery and he turned and acknowledged what I said. Whoever was texting me from the office said there were no notes of the discussion and was rather belligerent, but Dr. DeFiores and I talked about it at length. Because the person on the other end of the text was being aggressive I said that we should simply drop the discussion and move forward. I did not text back. The same vet discussed an issue Dakota was having with her left hind leg and suggested I go to a specialist to consult about TPLO surgery. I immediately followed his instructions, set up an appointment and my dog had a $5,000 surgery based on Dr. DeFiores recommendation. Last month my mom took my puppy in for a routine tech appointment and in addition to her appointment asked to have her nails clipped. I paid the bill then noticed a $23-24 charge on the bill for the nail clipping. Once again, I dared to question them. One of the technicians got on the phone and told me what he "felt" about the charge. He said that he "felt" that it was a legitimate fee for a service. I questioned why they did not alert my mom to the fee and he continued to insist that he "felt" the fee was reasonable. I said to him that what he "feels" is irrelevant to the point that I was trying to make, and they should have told us about the fee ahead of time. Within 5 minutes I received an email from Kristin Miller, the office administrator, telling me I can go somewhere else?! and she attached all of my pet's records! I have never even met Kristin or spoken to her. I replied to her email right away and I thanked her and told her I would like to continue coming to the office with my dogs. I went in on last Friday (August 23 rd ) with my puppy, and had another tech visit. No issues, no one said a word to me. Then they gave me a handwritten prescription for my 8 year old dog's heartworm, flea & and tick meds. Kristen emailed me about how they have a new pharmacy they are all excited about. The front desk girl told me when my dog Aspen and Dakota were due for their next visits; I paid my bill, thanked everyone and left. On the following Tuesday, August 27 th , I called in for an emergency with my 3 year old golden retriever (blood in her stool) and was given a 3pm appointment only to have Kristen Miller text me and cancel the appointment telling me, "I don't think I made myself clear.....we will no longer see your pets". I texted back and she did not reply, so I called her on the phone. I was almost in tears, begging her to keep my dog's appointment at 3pm and she was cold, unkind, told me a few times "I don't think I was clear, you are not welcome here". What kind of office is this? Is this really how you treat good clients? I have never once had an issue with anyone in the office; always pay my bill, always very friendly with the front desk staff. They have made several errors in scheduling my pets over the past year and I was always kind, nderstanding and accommodating. I thought I had a good relationship with all 3 vets that I have seen, and suddenly Kristen is dismissing me from the practice. I am a pretty low-maintenance patient. I guess if you go to this office you need to keep your mouth closed and never question anything in regard to taking care of your pets. Absolutely unbelievable behavior by this office manager and I don't even believe the Doctors are aware of how she treats the clients. If they are, shame on them all. I have been an office manager at 2 dental practices over the past 30 + years, I have been a martial arts instructor who teaches both kids and adults for 28 years and have always lived in this community. At my own job I am kind to all of my patients, go out of my way to make them feel welcome and respected. read more

This is the best place for your animals. Dr. Kearney and Dr. Laforte are graduates of Cornell and so knowledgeable and careful in describing the situations that our dogs have faced. We've had 2 labs that have had everything from joint problems, to skin conditions, to serious illnesses...and the team at BethVet has handled everything with great care. Our new dog is going there for his first appointment tomorrow! We trust our loved ones with these guys, and you should too. read more

I have been going to Bethlehem Veterinary Hospital for over 14 years and have been given amazing service every single time. Even in emergency situations, the veterinarian is able to get my cat in within the day that I called. They're hours go late some nights which is wonderful in case I have an emergency later or I have to work late and can't get my cats in earlier. This husband and wife team of Dr. Kearney and Dr. LaForte are amazing, and they are very knowledgeable. I have exotics and they know so much about the rarer and different breeds of cats it's amazing, and I feel so comfortable bringing my animals here. They treat my animals so well and the staff is so friendly and good with the animals. I wish I could give them 10 stars!!! read more

Worst vet I ever had. Asked them to please look at my dog 3 days before she died and the doctor on call said no! Can't even begin to tell you how disgusted I am!!! read more

We love this place! We moved here a few months ago and brought our dogs with us. The building is an old house, giving it a cozy old time feeling. The receptionist and techs are very friendly and attentive. It is clear that everyone that works there loves the animals. Dr Kearney is funny and amazing with the animals. He provides a thorough written summary of the visit with explanations and instructions when you leave at the end of your appointment. Today our puppy had injured her eye. We called them to see if they could fit her in. They said to bring her there and they would squeeze her in. When we walked in, the techs saw her swollen eye and fussed over her. Within minutes, we were brought into a room, Dr Kearney assessed and treated her , explained what he thought happened to her, what to look out for and reassured us that she would be fine. We cannot recommend this veterinary hospital enough!!! read more

We have seen Dr. Kearney and Dr.LaForte for the last 10 years with our St. Bernard who we recently had to put down. The entire staff at Bethlehem Veterinary is outstanding. They treat you and your animal like family and take time to explain and listen to your concerns. I highly recommend Bethlehem Veterinary Hospital if you are looking for a caring team of doctors. read more

Dr. LaForte and Dr. Kearney and the entire staff at Bethlehem Veterinary are so caring and compassionate! I have a diabetic cat who has been very difficult to regulate. Dr. LaForte has been wonderful with both the cat and myself trying to get him regulated, which took months. She kept in contact with me through phone calls and emails as we worked to get him where he should be. I highly recommend Bethlehem Veterinary! read more
