I was told that my cats stool test would be $66.00 the day before I brought it in. When I got there they said it was $86.00. I was told pricing went up and not all staff were aware.

The Animal Clinic of Long Island City is a gem in the realm of pet care. I recently brought in a stray furball that I tend to and from the moment I stepped into their clinic, I knew I had stumbled upon something truly extraordinary. The level of care and compassion displayed by Dr. Gapas and the entire staff is unparalleled. Though this fur baby has an incurable disease, they still tended to him with the utmost expertise. Their genuine concern and commitment were simply heartwarming. What sets Astoria Veterinary Clinic apart is their proactive approach to pet wellness. Not only did they address the immediate concerns, but they went above and beyond by reaching out for follow-ups on my little friend's health. It's like having a team of guardian angels for your pets! The staff here doesn't just treat animals; they form a personal connection, treating each furry patient as if it were their own. The options they offered for the stray's care were as diverse, tailored to both the medical needs and my financial considerations. It's not every day you encounter a veterinary office that genuinely cares about your pet's health and your peace of mind. The commitment to excellence at Astoria Veterinary Clinic shines through in every aspect of their service.

I have taken all the pets I had over the years here.Dr Gappas was Always great as well as the other vets. The girls at the desk and the groomer are very fresh and unkind..my dog was petrified everytime she had to enter this facility..after like 25 years or maybe more, this facility shunned my Luna away because I had to cancel a grooming appt, due to an emergency. I was told pay 25 $ or don't come back!

Less than one star. Our dog was so mistreated, roughly mishandled and tortured during a sonogram, he had a mini-stroke at the time of the procedure. When we picked him up, he had very sunken eyes, and walked non stop always turning to his right. At home he walked until he found a wall and did a u-turn, to his right side. It's horrifying and appealing those people still practicing whatever brutality experiments they're doing there. Not caring enough about our fur children and treating them like objects to be pronged and roughed around. They knew it had happened because they called for us to go get him only a couple of hours later. Never told us what they had done. The vet actually didn't even talk to us at all when we were paying for their atrocities. They just tried to push more supplements after giving the dog a stroke! Veterinarians here will Rx expensive supplements. Pushing supplements is an art they have mastered. Please run from this hellhole as fast as you can!! Hope there's a lab, in their future, waiting to get them the same mistreatment they have done to our poor dog. And probably many others ...

As the head of an animal rescue society, I deal with vets frequently. We have found it home yet with caring and knowledgeable professionals. Less expensive than Manhattan travel.

Top rate medical care and customer service. The entire staff is very knowledgeable, thorough and very reassuring. You and your pet feel welcomed and cared for from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. Lovely immaculate facility as well!

This clinic is the only one I trust! I've adopted from them and brought my whole family (of cats) to them at one point. The staff is so lovely and they're incredible at explaining the situation to me in terms that I (a non-vet technician) would understand. Two of my cats have kidney problems, and their lives would truly not be this comfortable without the help of Dr. Gapas and her entire team. I always feel welcomed, unjudged, and genuinely supported every time I see them. They seriously set the bar very high!!

My dog almost died of cushings disease because little Emma the lead "docter" is a crackpot that's against medicine. This a "holistic" or Qnon puedoscience based clinic. I saw a cat left with kidney stones for an entire year bc lil emmas distrust of Western or first world medicine. Two male doctors finally helped my elderly dog. Shame on you emma, animals die because of your crackpot beliefs. Of course her lead tech judy has no GED or license. Judy will scream at people with no shame or self awareness. Stay in the projects Judy. I saw many people quit to get away from Judy's horrible temper.

This place is amazing! Im a new pet owner and I came with my two kittens and they had almost no wait time. The receptionist was super kind and everything in the clinic was super organized. The technicians took great care of my pets and gave me all the information I needed to know to take care of my kittens, including what the best food is and vaccinations. The veterinarian was also super helpful! Overall I had a great experience. I would definitely recommend coming here, whether you are a new pet owner or not

PLEASE READ: Please do not come here for your cat’s needs or any animal needs. The veterinary who runs the place botched by kitten’s spay which has led to 3 years of medical complications. It took 2.5 years and almost $5,000 in medical expenses for an emergency veterinary clinic to diagnose my cat with part of her ovary still intact. After contacting the clinic about the situation, I was met with a receptionist who yelled at me on the phone, refused to give me the malpractice insurance and policy number for a few days. Eventually, I got the insurance and policy number, only for it to be sham - I just found out today from the insurance provider that they had bamboozled me and provided me the clinics building insurance policy. I still have no response from them on the real insurance of the vet. The vet tried to blame me for having my cat be 1 pound over weight mixed with a poor diet ( she doesn’t have a poor diet). The receptionist told me To never write a bad review or it would ruin them - I obliged until I found out they have been intentionally giving me the run around to avoid the malpractice claim insurance. This means not only is malpractice at play, but they are intentionally preventing me from getting reimbursed from thousands of dollars of diagnosis procedures while still waiting to get her surgery to remove her ovary which is quoted for 2,000 dollars. They tried to get me to come in to do the procedure, but someone explain to my why you’d bring your animal back here after this experience. They also refused to help pay the costs up to this point. AVOID COMING HERE AT ALL COSTS.

I've been fortunate enough to work with Dr. Gapas as our vet for the last 5 years. She's taken incredible care of our dog and 2 cats. She's thoughtful, compassionate, well-researched, and has been rigorous in solving a number of their health issues. She recently performed a complicated surgery on our cat's paw, and he's healed perfectly and is doing great. All of the techs in the office are deeply caring, detailed, and committed. Judy, who I've had the pleasure of working with frequently is amazing and highly knowledable. I always trust that our pets are receiving the best care at this clinic. Dr. Gapas is an extraordinary vet, and I'm so grateful to her and the entire team at Animal Clinic of LIC.

The care is great. Be aware that if you need to have medicine prescribed first check online before purchasing there. My dog has been their patient for 14 years I took him for his shots and regular check up June 25th they prescribed him eye medicine which I paid $70.33 I went to pick up a refill August 20th was charged $80.00. On line the max you will pay is $60.00. Fo your online research before you purchase any medicine from here.

Little Emma Gapas is a Qnon believer/ conspiracy theorist. Nobody is vaccinated, lil dirty Gapas coughs into the air like a pig. Judy the "lead tech" has no GED or tech license. My grandma got covid here. Many pets are misdiagnosed, told its allergies bc the test makes them money. Little Gapas constantly insulated my intelligence and men. She insults and gossips about cilents/employees constantly. Once she slandered a poor Irish woman right after killing her cat. She'd experiment on the dead bodies without owners consent. Many times she'll act nice to a cilents face than insult them once they're gone. I saw this everyday. Her husband spends all his time with DEX WORKERS in Thailand. His drunken self told me so during a party. She takes it out on the male employees. Employe turnover is constant. Beware the fake face she wears. Report her license number if your pets suffered bc of her.
