Woods Avenue Animal Clinic

It was very clean and the staff was vey friendly. I had a 14 yr old sick cat that had to be put to sleep. Dr. Grower was very sympathetic and had a small ceremony where he lit a candle and said a few words before putting her down. A few days later he sent us a hand written sympathy card and made us a plaque with our cats paw print and name on it free of charge. I see other reviews regarding expensive chrages which sounds like the same stories I hear from friends and family about other vets. Unfortunately when a pet becomes sick it does add up. I feel Dr. gower's prices are about the same or lower than other places. I would definitely recommend this vet.

So i took my 3 Maltese dogs to WOODS AVE ANIMAL CLINIC in Oceanside, NY & the doctor as well as the office completely ran a scam on us! I've never been to any doctors office animal or human who conducted an appointment as unprofessional as they did at WOODS AVE ANIMAL CLINIC!! With this being said, I want to advise all the hardworking families with loving pets as well as the public to *NEVER* visit them or make an appointment with them! You will be solicited with credit card applications and unnecessary treatments. Let me not forget to mention how rude and oblivious the receptionists are!! ‪#‎Fail‬ #Horrible ‪#‎WoodsAveAnimalClinic‬

Took my cat in during regular business hours. Applied an IV, gave a shot of vitamins, and took blood. Told me I should keep the cat there for 3 days to flush out his kidneys. The cat was placed in his "hospital" which was a dungeon of a basement with 6 kennels. No 24 hour attendant or monitoring devices. I went upstairs and filled out the authorization forms. Then, asked to pay over $2,200 for a 3 days stay in this vets basement. All to be paid in advance. I was charged $125/day for IV, $100/day for the extra overnight check the vet will make to see my cat was okay (this one is a laugh!), $150 a day for having the privaledge of staying in this hell hole of a basement he calls a hospital. I was charged for 2 blood tests, when only one was given,and paying in advance for the follow up bloodwork. Paid $225 for meds which would have cost me $21 online. I paid for a stool sample analysis which I brought in, which was insufficient. The vet didnt' bother to collect one during my cat's 3 day stay. Now I am following the cat around to the litter box trying to collect another sample. When I asked for a credit adjustment , the vet refused. I cannot even prove what was done and not done, so as to argue the mattter with the credit card company. When I asked for the medical records, the receptionist offered me a history of past visits. I am kicking myself for having paid this money when I should have just taken the cat back out of the basement and gone somewhere else. Instead, I stressed for 3 days on the money I paid out, and worried for my cat's life whom I know would be left alone each night in this dark hell hole of a basement this vet calls a hospital. DON'T KICK YOURSELF IN THE ____ AFTERWARDS FOR TAKING YOUR ANIMAL HERE! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE...(Oh, did I mention that I was charged for an emergency visit during regular business hours?)
