I’ve been coming here for a few years now with my “Zoo” (4dogs and 3 cats) we see Dr Matal regularly. She is great and very knowledgeable! She knows I work with animals as well and takes that jnto consideration when I have a concern. She always does diagnostics as needed to rule things out when there is a concern instead of doing everything at once and spending unnecessary money. Thanks Lefferts & Dr Matal, keep being awesome!

as i have a regular (home visit) vet who can only do the basics, over the years i have periodically gone to lefferts animal hospital (they're also three blocks from where i live). in the times i've gone there, i have been quite satisfied. this last time -- albeit an unfortunate one -- the staff at lefferts showed much compassion and knowledge. they didn't push me into spending unnecessarily; and what i was charged seemed reasonably priced. in essence they did what was best for me and my pet. i would recommend them although every time i have ever been there, it has been a wait (even with an appointment). if my regular vet ever decides to retire, i will most likely make them my new go-to for vet care.

Came to this place to have our cat neutered and I couldn't be more satisfied. From the initial consultation, the actual surgery and the follow-up, everything was great. To start off the receptionist, when I first passed to ask about having the procedure done, was incredibly nice and helpful. The vet techs we've encountered have also been wonderful and patient with Nube, who tends to not be still. The 3 vets we've met have also been incredible. They take their time explaining everything and let you ask any questions. The prices are reasonable. While there might be cheaper places, I'm certain the price is well worth the service. I'm beyond grateful to everyone in this clinic. Nube is truly a huge part of our family, and we're happy to have found a great place like this one. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

I have taken my two dogs and three cats to Lefferts Animal Hospital many times over the years, and now (after my visiting vet moved away; our household is carless) Lefferts has become my default. Their prices are fair, the vets and techs have always been courteous and well-informed, and they listen carefully. Most remarkably in this era of ever-ballooning veterinary costs, I've never had a sense that they've tried to upsell me on anything. This is the only vet I've ever known of that offers spot-check ultrasounds for certain situations, only when appropriate (and charges a vastly reduced rate from what you'd pay for full anesthesia and a full sedated ultrasound elsewhere). It's true that the facility isn't shiny and slick, but I'll take fair prices, friendly service, informed practitioners, and a local vibe any day. Thank you, Lefferts Animal Hospital!

Honestly I don’t recommend, the are more interested in money then actual treating the pet. They charged me for a ultrasound which at the end of day was seen by a regular vet who’s not specialized and then they tell me after it’s done that I need to send it to a specialist. When I try to send it the specialist they were trying to charge 200 so I left it as that. When I agree to it they end up telling me that they never had a specialist . So my question why was I going to be charged 200 for ? Be mindful taking your pet here because they really are money hungry .

I have been a client of Lefferts Animal Hospital for over nine years. What has amazed me is our most recent visit. Our senior cat Rose, needed her teeth, cleaned and one tooth, needed to be extracted. After her procedure was complete.We were not only pleased with how well her recovery went. We were amazed by the change of behavior. She behaves like a brand new cat. We are amazed. Moving forward I will not hesitate when it comes to dental care for our cats.

The lady working the front desk is a heartless person. I would never bring any pet to a place that would employ someone as cruel as her. I brought my pet here who was severely sick and she was extremely dismissive and cold and showed zero understanding to the situation.

I took my dog here for a second opinion because I really was uncomfortable with our current vet. The receptionist was so sweet and was able to fit me in same day. I immediately felt at ease. My dog was a bit nervous but the staff and Dr Zalewski were so great with her! The nurse ended up holding her towards the end of the exam and my dog looked so relaxed! I felt so taken care of and Dr Zalewski explained everything thoroughly. Prices are extremely reasonable especially for the care received. This is definitely our new vet. I’ve held off spaying her because I was so uncomfortable with our current vet. I have no hesitations having her spayed with Lefferts in the very near future. I have total confidence she’s in great hands. Such a great experience and so glad I came here.

I recently had a rather disappointing experience at my local veterinary clinic, and I feel compelled to share my feedback with fellow pet owners. As a responsible pet parent, I always ensure that I have visual documentation of any concerning symptoms exhibited by my furry friends. This practice has been encouraged by numerous veterinarians in the past, as it aids in their understanding and diagnosis of the issue at hand.However, during my recent visit to the clinic with my cat, who was experiencing bouts of vomiting and diarrhea, I was taken aback by the response of the attending veterinarian. Upon showing the veterinarian a picture of my cat's condition, I expected a professional assessment and suggestions for treatment. Instead, the vet made an unprofessional comment, stating, "That's gross."Such a remark, in my opinion, was highly unprofessional and not reflective of the expected level of conduct within a medical environment. It left me feeling both disheartened and disrespected as a client who seeks the utmost care for my beloved pet.I believe that professionalism and empathy are crucial qualities for any healthcare provider, including veterinarians. It is essential for them to maintain a respectful demeanor, even when presented with potentially unpleasant images or situations. This not only fosters trust between the veterinarian and the pet owner but also ensures a more effective diagnosis and treatment plan.While I understand that veterinary professionals may come across challenging situations, it is important to remember that their primary duty is to provide compassionate care to animals and support to their human companions. In this instance, a more tactful response would have been appreciated, along with a thorough examination and appropriate guidance to address my cat's health concerns.In conclusion, I hope that this review serves as constructive feedback to the veterinary clinic and encourages a reflection upon the importance of maintaining professionalism and empathy when dealing with concerned pet owners. It is my sincere wish that future clients receive the respectful and compassionate care that all pets and their owners deserve.

The worst place incompetent people very rude and don't care about you or your pet I am so upset on how they treated me yesterday im not going to go into details of what I went through or what I experience with these people. but yesterday was so disgusted. I found out my dog kidney levels was very high yesterday after getting blood work every 3 to 4 months since I been going to this place them lying telling me his kidney levels was a little high nothing to worry about yesterday his kidney levels are 560 they suppose to be 120 I ask can I get my dog blood work and medication for his kidneysThey refuse to give me his blood work information and his medication so I can go to another veterinarian to get him medication they will not email his information to another Vet so i can get his medication either.

Got referred here by a friend and I’m so grateful. Everyone from the vets to the front desk are so kind, professional, and understanding. They really care about the animals and are more than fair on price. I also loved that they take their time explaining everything and don’t try to pressure you for procedures or make you feel bad if you can’t afford something. Instead they help you weigh your options to give your pet the best care. I only wish I found them sooner :)

We have been taking our cat to see Dr. Halpern since 2018. He is the absolute best vet I have ever dealt with and exceptionally kind. He shows far more concern and attention for our rescue cat than "high end" vets show for purebred pets in my personal experience with other animals. Even after moving to about a 1:15hr drive out of Queens we still only take our cat to Lefferts.

From my first visit onward, I felt that Lefferts Animal Hospital was the right place for my new dog. I had just adopted the dog and Dr. Mystry did a thorough exam and spotted a few conditions immediately. I kept the dog and she helped me address each problem perfectly. I found her support staff excellent as well!Although the waiting room was small and the office location inconvenient (for me), I felt the practice was really well run and Dr Mystry really knowledgeable and caring!…. So we’ll worth the trip!Their good/organized office software helps me keep track of all vaccinations, appointments, and records.In addition, Dr. Valdes was really excellent as far as surgical recommendations …with no nonsense!I had previously been to overpriced, insensitive, disorganized, arrogant doctors/offices in the past but had now found a great home for my dog’s future medical needs. I highly recommend!
