I've been using the Staten Island Vet group for all my three dogs for over 20 years. Dr. Joe is fantastic with my dogs they all have lived him. He was so compassionate and caring when I had to say goodbye to two of them through out the years . They always treat my dogs with great care and the staff is just wonderful., I highly recommend them. read more

I have been using s.i vet group for several years very happy with their service . I got a new puppy 7 months ago and she is getting spayed and microchipped today by Dr. Joe and I know she is in good hands read more

The receptionists at the front desk are rude and unprofessional. During my first visit, they were annoyed when I had basic questions about the appointment and invoice. I was charged incorrectly for 6 months of flea and tick prevention when I only received one. They automatically charged me for prescriptions instead of asking my preference, and when I wanted to switch to Chewy, they were very pushy about sticking with in-office pick-ups. I have never had another office like that. It came off like a money grab. I've never had any issues with the vet or techs, but the front desk really soured my experience. I won't be coming back. read more

I've been bringing my dog here for years, and I'm so happy with the care he receives. The vets and staff are amazing. P

My dog had a seizure. We took him there at 5 o'clock in the morning. They took him right in the doctor checked him out did some bloodwork and told us what next steps would be. He really eased our mind and it was great to have a place to go to that was local. I've been there before my dog got bit by my puppy, and he had to have surgery on his salivary glands they did a great job. They're super expensive but worth it.! read more

We used Dr Kessler for my rescue Pug for spay and dental and I couldn't be any happier . In less than 2 days she was already herself and the incision area healed so nicely . I liked how he called us the next day to see how she was feeling and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Si Vet Group and Dr Kessler . I also have to mention Jo Ann at the front desk who was very helpful and friendly too and the rest of the staff . PS : My first time at the Vet we used Dr Massa who was thorough and very knowledgeable. All highly recommended! read more

I'm writing this review with a heavy heart almost two months after putting my beloved beagle, Bishop, down. Looking back on his last couple of months with us, part of me blames Staten Island Veterinary Group for Bishop's sickness and death. In late November of 2023, we had taken Bishop to the vet to address some issues he had had with an uncontrollable bladder. We were ready to do whatever was possible to fix the issue... he was 10 years old and we wanted to make sure Bishop can live as long and as healthy as possible. As most people/petowners do, when there's something wrong we look to and trust doctors and veterinarians for answers. After some tests, Bishop was diagnosed with bladder stones and we were assured that the diagnosis is not serious and requires a straightforward solution: surgery. Given that any veterinary surgery is thousands of dollars and no vet gives you any financial leeway (like a payment plan) to prioritize your pet's health instead of what it costs, we had raised the four thousand dollars and booked his surgery for February of 2024. We drop Bishop off in the morning, putting down a $2,000 deposit, hoping that when we see him again he'll be back to his normal self. A couple of hours later, the vet calls and tells us he can't perform the surgery because Bishop has late stage bladder cancer and it has already spread to his lungs. The funny part is when we came to pick Bishop up, there was still a couple of hundred dollar balance to pay before we can get Bishop. We paid this $2,500 for this vet to tell us Bishop has cancer, he's dying, and there's nothing we can do besides look for a specialist. Ultimately, we had found an oncologist to see Bishop and try any treatment available to help his cancer. The oncologist had told us Bishop never had any bladder stones but instead it was a bladder tumor that has been growing for months. The cancer had taken his life about a month later. If it wasn't for the failure and incompetence of the Staten Island Veterinary Group, Bishop would not have been misdiagnosed, his cancer could have been caught and treated, and my best friend would still be alive today. If you have the option to take your pet somewhere else or to get a second opinion, please do it - it might save your pet's life. read more

My wife and I have been bringing our pets, both, cats and dogs to this clinic for over 30 years. We highly recommend Dr Kessler, as well as the entire staff Dr Kessler is a great caring doctor. Over the years he is always been on the money with his diagnosis of all our cats and dogs. Very thorough, caring and compassionate and will always call us back to find out how our pets are doing after a visit. We highly recommend this practice. read more

Best vet. Seriously. My baby Pepper has always been welcome here, and they are so loving and kind to him during checkups when he gets nervous! There are some vets on this island who are seriously cruel and don't deserve to be in business, and I am proud to say that this vet is the complete OPPOSITE: They genuinely care for each animal and remember important details about their health. 10/10! read more

Quick to respond to online appointment requests. I can get appointments as early as the next day. No long wait times in the office

Amazing, so glad there are still good people in this world who actually care about animals. I was so glad somebody recommended me to use the friends of animals certificate to neuter my dog. The best price offered on Staten island by an amazing vet. I am no longer using anybody else. The doctors here do an amazing thing and should be rewarded for offering low cost spaying and neutering to pet owners. All these negative reviews about pee and waiting dont make this place bad, majority of vets office smell like pee and if you're waiting it means there are a reason you are waiting. So happy I was recommended by somebody to use dr Kessler to neuter my French bulldog. read more

I took my cat, Ollie, to see Dr. Kessler at Staten Island veterinary group yesterday. The facility is so clean and the staff are very polite and attentive. I brought Ollie because he is losing a lot of weight. He is a sweet and gentle 16 year old cat and I was so worried that he would get extremely nervous, but Dr. Kessler and his staff were so calm and gentle with him. Dr Kessler gave him a very thorough exam and explained everything to us. Totally recommend SIVG! read more

Hands down my favorite veterinarian location. Trustworthy, honest, helpful and great service. They have always been able to get my pup in when it's needed and have been so great at providing advice and treating my pup through different things that have popped up. I also don't feel that they just recommend tests or treatments Willy nilly and are upfront about costs. I absolutely recommend any doctor that practices at this location- I've met them all but my pup and I love Dr. DiGuiseppe . He has helped tremendously so thank you!! read more
