Dr Pet Daddy

I don’t understand all the reviews saying this place has reasonable prices. We spent $ 1000 on annual checkups and shots for our 2 chihuahuas, which is outrageous. The dogs were given «senior profile» exams, the cost of which was NOT explained to be substantially more than regular exams, and was billed as being «all inclusive» but turned out not to be (we were still charged for other tests.)
$ 1,000 for yearly checkups and shots is by no means reasonable. I’ll be searching for a new vet.

Going to see Dr. Yoo at Dr. pet daddy was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my pet. My dog had been sick for a few days and when I finally decided she needed to see someone I didn’t know where to go. I recently moved to Astoria and didn’t have a vet yet. So I turned to Unilocal for some help. Pet Daddy had the best reviews so I decided to check it out. I was not wrong to make that choice. As soon as you walk in it just looks so nice and clean, the staff was super friendly as well. We didn’t have an appointment but it wasn’t a problem, we just had to fill out some forms and were taken right in! The Doctor was very nice and asked a lot of questions and made sure we didn’t have any questions for him. He gave us some medications and made sure we knew how to use them and sent us on our way. They also helped me out and clipped my dogs nails! (She won’t let me do them) the difference in my dog in just a few hours of giving her the medicine was amazing. She’s back to her old self! They also called me this morning to check on her to see how she was doing! This place is seriously amazing!!! If you need a place to take your dog or cat look no further! I will continue to go here for my pet and I will suggest it to all of my friends!

Absolutely love Dr. Yoo, Louis, and all of the staff here. This place is about the best you can get. The facility is clean, modern, and beautiful on the inside. The prices charged are extremely reasonable compared to other clinics. We have a 6 month old Shiba Inu, and she received all of her puppy shots and check ups from Dr. Yoo and is recovering from her spay procedure.
Dr. Yoo encourages questions and is thorough in explaining what he’s doing. Highly, highly recommended.

Update: the vet called me to apologize and explain how they’re updating policies based on our experience. He does care about the animals and service he provides but they are still working out some best business practices.

Be warned: these people do not care about your pet – they only care about the bottom line.
We brought our dog in for vaccinations and by the time we got him home, he was vomiting. We called the vet to ask what to do and they said we could either take him in right now (they were closing in 10 minutes), or go somewhere else. We called back at 7:01 and no one was there. They have no emergency number and the vet didn’t share his cell phone number with us, despite the emergency.
We weren’t sure how extreme the situation was (Pet Daddy should have told us), but I googled it and vomiting after vaccinations should be taken very seriously. We took him to the hospital and the emergency vet told us he was having a severe allergic reaction and could have gone into shock if we hadn’t brought him in. The hospital vet hooked him up to an IV and gave him Benedryl and advised that we should only give him core vaccinations from now on, as infrequently as legally possible. She also said that one of the shots he’d gotten earlier that day was elective, which Pet Daddy had never mentioned.
Later that night, I got an email from Pet Daddy – not asking if our pet was ok, but giving us a price quote for an additional surgery we’d spoken about earlier.
I called Pet Daddy after all of this to tell them what happened and to cancel the booster shot we’d scheduled before all of the vomiting began, and they still recommended we do the booster anyway. The hospital vet explained that reactions after each round of vaccinations can be worse, so we would be putting our pet at a very high, unnecessary risk of we followed Pet Daddy’s advice.
These people are out of touch with their patients and are looking to make money. Question everything they say, or better yet, just don’t go here.

Best vet clinic in Queens. Dr. Yoo and his staff are very attentive and caring. I can tell that they really do love animals and care for them as well. I’ve been to other vets before I moved to Astoria and I must say that most of the doctors and staff are old. I don’t have anything against the elderly, it’s simply because they’ve been treating animals for years and are numb to what the clients want: best care and service for their pets at a low cost. I hope Dr. Yoo and staff keep up the good work for years to come, not only for the first few years.
The clinic itself is modern, clean and cozy. Parking may be a problem.

I have to be honest. My puppy Gianluca is the first dog I’ve owned on my own and as an adult. So I don’t have much of a point of reference for Vets other than saying that every vet I’ve been to has been a busy (and barky) place. Dr. Pet Daddy is an amazing clinic with an attentive staff. Dr Yoo, Stephanie and Louis are the nicest people who care about every animal they treat. Also, the facility is clean, modern and beautifully designed. There’s not one review on here that is less than five stars and it’s for a reason. I would come back here even if we move away from Astoria.

Do you want a vet that will follow up? Has a clean office? Is patient when your pet isn’t his/​her best self and still needs to get used to the vet? This is the perfect place.
We have a new puppy. Dr. Yoo and his friendly staff helped walk us through parasite/​tummy issues. Everyone knows what they are talking about and want what’s best for you and your pet. Highly recommend.

Really recommend this place, they love my Smitten and Mittens like I love them. Dr. Pet Daddy feels really homey and I have already told my friends with pets to come here. They are incredibly affordable, they give you follow up calls and the whole staff is very friendly. We can’t wait for our next checkup!

i’m very, very impressed by how quickly i was able to get in touch with the doctor and bring my puppy in. last night, my puppy started coughing every 5 – 10 minutes with loud breathing sounds suggestive of nasal congestion. alarmed, i called the office and left a message. in the morning, dr. yoo personally spoke to me on the phone and made my appointment for the evening. they were extremely accommodating and performed a thorough exam. i am so relieved to have dr. yoo confirm my suspicions that she had mild kennel cough. thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have taken my dog to Dr pet Daddy twice since November and not been disappointed! Our first visit was a walk in. My dog was bitten in the park and I wanted to make sure that the puncture didn’t require stitches. I called maybe 5 minutes before arriving on a saturday morning and everyone was pleasant. Once we got there my dog realized it was a vets office and started flipping out but both the vet tech and Dr Yoo were extremely gentle with her and let her warm up on her own while offering her treats. After checking her mouth and the puncture no stitches were needed but she was given a few shots which i was worried about because in the past her old vet would muzzle her to give her shots and practically sit on her to keep her still. I was surprised how quickly they were able to give her the shots with just the Vet tech and Dr Yoo holding her all while being very sweet. By the time her first visit was over she was lounging on their front bench in the sun not wanting to leave (a complete 180 from when we arrived).
They were thorough and answered the millions of questions that i had all while being gentle and making my dog feel comfortable. For this reason I chose to schedule another appointment to get her shots updated when the time came. We went this past week and they were just as kind as our first visit. Though my dog was still iffy about being at the vet and hid under a chair the staff was just as easy going as the first time we came. Once again the visit was a painless one unlike other vet visits we have had and that makes me feel better about taking her in to see Dr Yoo. The prices were affordable, the office is small but neat and clean, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and patient especially the vet tech (I can’t remember his name but he’s super nice!). Im happy that they opened and so close to home!

I am soooo happy to find Dr. Yoo! What an amazing, caring and kind Vet! Not only is he very smart and adept, but he doesn’t try to take advantage of customers by scheduling unneccessary appointments. I know he takes my dogs best interest at heart, and the office is clean and modern. If you have a pet, don’t hesitate to make a trip there, you won’t be disappointed!

Dr. Yoo and Stephanie were extremely professional, friendly and patient. I brought in my dog who has the Cushings disease and Dr. Yoo was very very knowledgeable so I felt very comfortable. Plus the facility is very clean and I felt like my dog was in good hands.

I’m a long time pet owner. I have had many dogs and always seemed to struggle to find the right Veterinarian here in Astoria so when I got my Yorkie-​Poo I was really struggling with «where could I find someone I can trust and with a clean office» for my dog. Well, today I visited with Dr. Yoo and I couldn’t have been more pleased with him. His assistant was also very right for the job. The reciptionist was also really nice. And he was also reasonably priced. MY BEBE LOVES THEM, So I am very happy and relieved that I found exactly what I needed here!

Very appreciative of Dr. Yoo and his staff! My toy poodle had ear issues and after seeing another vet and getting nowhere, Dr. Yoo took the extra step to make sure our little guy got the care he deserved. He took a ton of time with us, allowing us to ask any questions we had and he did a very thorough exam. Definitely our new family vet. Very chic office and fair pricing!!! Highly recommend.

My son needed to get basic rabies and other necessary vaccinations for his dog and Dr. Pet Daddy was perfect. Very informative (For example, Ollie often goes hiking… so he helped us with the Lyme disease vaccination, which has been a concern for us…) So besides having a nice clean friendly informative environment, The prices were great!

Do you need an affordable vet in a clean space? This is it!
I love Dr. Pet Daddy. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect vet for my 4 year old yorkie, (he was in the need for some serious dental cleaning) and Dr. Sunghyuk and his assistant Lewis we’re super helpful! They were very transparent and told me exact prices and what was going to be done ahead of time.
I was a walk in and was even able to get my yorkie’s teeth cleaned and one extracted, (that I got to actually keep. lol), the same day.
Dr. Pet Daddy is a must go for your pet if you’re looking for an affordable, super clean, neighborhood– friendly place!
