Suzanne at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful with everything from appointment to some instructions before appt. Dr. Kirsh is so kind and gentle and our Rocky took to him immediately. He called us right after the surgery to tell us it went good and when to pick him up. We got very detailed typed up instructions on all medications they gave us and tips on what to feed him. It was amazing. They put him in the car for us. On second day now and his incision looks great!! He is eating and walking lightly. We are so pleased! No pain or discomfort! I highly recommend Dr. Kirsh! Dr. Kirsh called us the very next day to ask us how his first night went and if we had any concerns. Thank you so much Dr. Kirsh and staff!!!!

There were NO cars in the parking lot in the middle of a weekday. Very strange and should have been my first clue something is off for an office with two vets available and no visible patients. Another clue should have been the "payment responsibility" disclosure they required me to sign before they would even look at my pet. In more than 60 years of pet ownership, I have never had to sign something like that before treatment. I brought my cat in because she had not eaten or had a bowel movement in seven days. After an exam and X-rays, I was told everything was fine and that she was probably pooping somewhere in the house. EXCUSE ME??? As if I hadn't already thought of that and looked everywhere myself. This is a cat who has NEVER done that in the 13 years I've had her. So, I left with no answers, no explanation for why my cat hadn't eaten in a week, no explanation for why she hadn't pooped in a week, and a $250 charge on my credit card. Apparently, at Island Animal Hospital, "everything is fine" is considered a diagnosis. And don't even get me started on the condition of the office. With the fees they charge, one would think they could afford to update the place. It looks like very little has changed since Dr. Moore was there nearly 30 years ago. When your pet hasn't eaten or had a bowel movement for seven days, you expect answers. Instead, I got a guess, a credit card charge, and was sent on my way. No wonder they are still taking new patients when every other vet in town is not. Do yourself a favor and look for another vet.

She was one of only a VERY few women admitted to Ohio State's Vet School years ago( as a florida out-of-State resident= even harder). I appreciate all the hard work she had to do, for I too was a gritty pioneer in the 70's in New York City's corporate community. She had to work 100 times harder than her male counterparts just to make it.

Only for doctor Berkovets!!!…read more ONE STAR. If I could give zero, I would. I brought my young Maine Coon here for a routine neuter. What followed after this "routine" procedure turned into a nightmare. About a week into treating the complications and problems that began after the procedure and subsequent treatment, the doctor actually suggested that I EUTHANIZE my cat. Immediately after surgery, my cat developed a severe cough. I repeatedly told the doctor about it, but in my experience, my concerns were simply brushed off. Within two days, my cat stopped eating and drinking, developed severe watery diarrhea, weakness and unsteadiness, and his temperature at the clinic reached a terrifying 107.3°F. Then came one injection and medication after another. What disturbed me most was that he was given two medications that, as I was later told, should not have been given together or so close together. I was left with the impression that the doctor simply failed to account for the previous injection before giving the next one. After that, my cat had around 11 episodes of vomiting, became severely dehydrated, and needed days of fluid therapy. His condition continued to deteriorate: high fever, vomiting, refusal to eat, major weight loss, gastrointestinal problems, and later serious breathing problems after aspirating fluid. At one point, my critically ill cat was left at the clinic overnight even though, to my understanding, there was no veterinary staff physically present there overnight. As an owner, I found that absolutely terrifying. I also believe his throat may have been injured during intubation because the coughing started immediately after the procedure, yet that concern was never taken seriously. I was also shocked by how outdated and disorganized this clinic felt. Records appeared to be kept largely on paper, getting complete treatment information was difficult, and I did not see a clear modern system documenting medications, injections, and the full history of what had been done to my cat. The most frightening part was that I kept bringing him back, kept paying, and kept trusting the doctor while my cat became weaker and weaker. Instead of a clear plan, clear explanations, and a serious attempt to determine why he was deteriorating, I eventually heard a suggestion to euthanize him. I brought in a young cat for a routine procedure. What followed was weeks of vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, breathing problems, repeated medications, and suffering. In my personal experience, the care was careless, chaotic, outdated, poorly coordinated, and deeply lacking in compassion. I will never trust this clinic with any of my animals again.
