I needed to put my 13 year old dog to sleep. Dr. Stefanik was very kind and gentle and fast. My dog did not suffer and I hate to say this. He was decently cheap too but I've been going to him for a long time with all my pets. Thank you read more

This veterinary place is very basic and good for annual check ups and vaccinations. However I do not believe that either vets who work there are trained and skilled enough to handle and diagnose a lot of health problems. My family and I have used this place for years for annual check ups and vaccinations for our cats and dogs. Several of our neighbors have gone to them as well. They are probably one of the most affordable veterinary places in this area. However you do get what you pay for as in if you pay minimally, then you will receive minimal services as well. Basically the office visits and examinations are very brief and short. The vets will say a few short things and then send you on your way. A few people in the past have mentioned that Dr Stefanick comes off rude but he really isn't. He doesn't belittle you in anyway nor is he ever mean or aggressive towards any animals. But he is definitely not the warm nurturing friendly type. He is honest and straightforward which could be misconstrued as being too blunt and uncaring. If you don't feel comfortable by that, simply pick a different veterinary place with a sweeter and friendlier staff and you will be paying the difference in cost, too. That aside, I really believe that they are not up to date on medical treatment and procedures, nor are they thorough enough. Long story short, I've had animals who had developed common issues such as ear infections and gingivitis yet on multiple occasion they overlooked these problems because they weren't taking the time to really check and be thorough despite me pointing out that their ears, mouths, etc seem to be irritated and abnormal. I had to take my animals to other vets where they got the proper diagnosis. Overall this is a simple and basic veterinary place. I would still recommend this place for routine vaccinations and such, however you will get more thorough and accurate diagnosis from another veterinary place if your pets are sick. read more

When I have a vet state that what seems to be a bone sticking out if my cats toe is normal that's when I'll never come here again. Also everytime I come here I have to become the nurses assistant and hold my cat when he got several other employees sitting around doing nothing but chatting. Not to mention the fact that he has terrible bedside manner towards pets in general he seems very rough and annoyed whenever you ask him questions or even come in for your appointment. The price is fair but he is very rough with animals and the way he treats them. I sent him pictures of what seems to be my kittens bone sticking out. It wasn't rushed or anything before I could see the vet. I was told to come in three hours later after I sent his office a photo clearly showing the bone and blood. Whenever I come back into that office he states nothing's wrong. When I question him about the picture he states it scabbed up now and will be ok. The cat had his bandages on for three days when kittens normally have them on for only one. Because I demanded the wraps stay on my kitten longer o didn't want blood all over my carpet. Picture is posted on google under his business. read more

Larry L Stefanick, DVM - Said that his feet are ok no need for meds or glue. - Veterinarians Near Me - Hermitage, Pennsylvania

Today, my father, myself, and our very sick dog had an awful experience at Stefanick's Veterinary Hospitality . We called Dr. Stephanick's office in Hermitage, PA by McDonalds. My dad explained to the receptionist, named Angelina, how sick Cheyenne was and asked if the Dr. would be willing to see her. He said that we MAY have to put her to sleep. Angelina put him on hold, came back, and told my dad that the Dr. couldn't see her. My dad asked to speak to the Dr., so she put him on hold again, came back on the phone and said that the Dr. would see her but we would be charged an emergency fee. So we get there, and get Cheyenne inside. She immediately pulls out a release form and the Dr. brings out a needle to put her to sleep. No hesitation, no remorse. My dad said that he wanted to see if she can be saved first, and Angelina immediately snapped at my dad saying "You said you wanted to put her to sleep!" My dad corrected her and told her that he said he may need to put her to sleep, and she argued with him! My poor baby Cheyenne was still on the table, couldn't even hold herself up, and started to pee. They made the biggest deal over the fact that she was peeing as if it wasn't a vets office and they never had to deal with such a thing before So the Dr. asked my dad to take her outside to relieve herself, which he did, but she couldn't even stand. To make matters even worse, the Dr. mentioned to my dad something about my dad wanting to give him a piece of his mind. All my dad did was ask to speak with him when he called in. He never said anything about telling him off. He just wanted to ask the Dr. himself if he would see Cheyenne. I don't know what the deal is with this receptionist, but she's VERY rude, heartless, and apparently likes to lie. I do understand it's after hours. It was kind of the Dr. to agree to put her down, especially since his receptionist misinformed him. But for us to be treated in such a way when we may be losing a member of our family? It was cruel. We will no longer be going to Stephanick's Veterinary Hospital. Not with customer service like that. I would like to give a big thanks to Greenville Veterinary Clinic for seeing her and making time for her. The Dr. was very compassionate, very patient, and explained everything thoroughly. The receptionist was absolutely amazing, and apologized for our loss multiple times. I will be going to them for now on! Unfortunately we ended up having to let her go read more

The Dr came out at 930 on a Friday night to save our horses life. He was choking and needed help now. Dr stefanick was quick, knowledgeable, professional and caring. He spent a long time with us. I highly recommend this practice for every pet...horses, cats, dogs...etc. read more

I've been taking my cats and dogs here for over 6 years for everything from routine examinations, to surgeries, to emergencies. The staff have always been cordial and caring. You go to a Vet to have your pet taken care of, not to have your own personal insecurities tended to with a "good bedside manner". This place has excellent pricing and knows what they are doing. I wouldn't trust anyone else in the Valley with my animals. read more

Dr. Stefanik is uncompassionate and not interested in you at all if you haven't seen him before I have a house with kitties and a mother cat nursing a litter and we're pretty sure they are sick, they all were coughing and having trouble breathing and he wouldn't even entertain the idea of seeing her or them because we are new clients. He handled us with very little professionalism didn't answer any questions just sent us on our way when they were the only vet in the area open and we were really worried all throughout the night and to be hit with that first thing in the morning and to have questions answered on whether on not they'll be okay waiting longer. I was disappointed because I read good reviews but unless you already know the Dr don't bother trying he isn't interested in any new patients and the old man hasn't for a long time based off some the other reviews sorry this dragged on but this vet had me fuming read more

In fairness, up until a month ago I would have given them 4 or 5 stars. Our usual vet (Dr. Young) no longer does surgeries, so we used Dr. Stefanick when our cat needed spayed 2 years ago. They were a lot cheaper than other places, and I figured I would try them. They did a good job and seemed pleasant enough, and I had recommended them to other people. Recently though, I had to take our 6 month-old pit in to get neutered. (By the way, he absolutely is the friendliest dog, 0 aggression towards either animals or humans; he may lick your face if you get too close though!) The lady at the desk asked me what breed he was, and I answered "American Bully", which he is. The lady looked over the desk, said "that doesn't look like an American Bulldog," so I explained that an American bully is a different breed, it is a hybrid pit bull that is bred down for size to be short and stockier, with a good temperament. She sighed heavily and looked down to her paper and said "Oh, that's just what they need, to be shorter and stockier so they can pull harder." Strike 1, and looking back, I wish I would've left then and gave her a piece of my mind, but I didn't. Dr. S comes out to the desk, she shows him my intake form and points directly to the breed, and says "he's a pit." So the doctor calls me back, and has me lift the puppy up onto the scale (which was fine with me). But then, after he gets his weight, the doctor proceeds to shave his front arm and put the anesthetic in. I was beyond confused, because I have never been present when any of our animals were anesthetized. Slowly his body became limp and I lowered him onto the metal scale. His little eyes were still open at the time, and he looked at me absolutely terrified. I understand that this is what would have happened even if I wasn't there, but as an owner, that was my baby and I would have preferred not to watch that. It was definitely not a good way to start my day and I was in tears by the time I got in my car. I was sick to my stomach the whole day at work wondering how they would treat him while I was not there. Around 2:30 I called to check up on him. The lady who answered the phone coldly said "he's fine," in the same tone you would expect your mechanic to tell you that your vehicle was fine after an inspection. I will say, I learned my lesson. I would much rather spend twice as much money and have a vet and vet staff that treat my animal well, than to save some money and deal with Stefanick ever again. Dr. Young's office staff is wonderful with our puppy. They are kind and are happy to see him and pet him when he comes in, not cold and harsh like the treatment we got at Stefanick. I would never again recommend Stefanick to anyone, especially if you have any bully breed or a breed of dogs that might be misperceived, because this office definitely falls into the category of ignorance when it comes to breeds. read more
