My Pets Vet

My dog (a 4 year old Havanese) was diagnosed by our local vet in Queens as having a luxating patella after coming up limping randomly one day. The cost of the surgery was going to be astronomical, we weren’t sure of the quality of doctor we would get and we didn’t know where to turn. Dr. Brooke (from MyPetsVet) was recommended to us and it changed everything.
The cost for Dr. Brooke was less than half of what we were going to pay in Queens, they kept him all weekend to ensure he would recover from surgery and he recovered well ahead of schedule. Dr. Brooke was kind, funny, and honest throughout the process. They called me at least once a day during that weekend to tell me how he was doing.
6 months later my dog is 100% recovered and I had an amazing experience, better than any other vet I’ve been to and I recommend them to everyone. It was worth commuting from Queens out to LI just to get this kind of care. Thank you Dr. Brooke!

Wow… my last review for MPV was almost 5 years ago. Luckily, we don’t visit too often. Partly because of the good care that we receive here and tips to keep our Chloe healthy. For instance, after a bout with frequent and costly ear infections, they recommended that we switch our ear cleaner to a different one. Since then, not a single problem !! This summer she had a little trouble with her hmmmmm… derrière and they were efficient, kind and the bill was extremely fair. When we visited this week to see the Vet Tech, I felt comfortable and Chloe was returned to me unscathed and was give a spritz of sweet pea cologne.
The office itself remains darling. You would almost think that you were stepping into a Bed and Breakfast with the country decorations and manicured gardens.
Located right on Jericho Turnpike as a free standing house, the office is comfortable and inviting. While the owner is still there, the other Vets are newer. Not sure if this is good or not, but we remain pleased with our care and don’t mind the 20 minute drive from our home in Westbury. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a new Vet.

I love My Pets Vet! Dr. Brooke is a wonderful veterinarian who really cares about my dog. She is very thorough whenever I bring him in and I never feel rushed. We have also seen Dr. Spetko who is very nice as well. I had numerous bad experiences at my last vet and am so glad I switched to My Pets Vet! My dog and I couldn’t be happier!

Incompetent Staff!
While Dr. Brooke is wonderful, and we chose to leave our old vet to come back to her, her staff is completely incompetent.
We made an appointment and showed up on time, with our dog and our toddler, however the appointment was «not in the book» despite the fact that they received our record transfer from our old vet which was done at the same time as making the appointment. Their solution was to wait for an hour and a half (with our dog and toddler) for the next available appointment or come back (yeah, like that is a reasonable solution).
Additionally, we were told it was «unfair» to the other appointments (or at least those they actually wrote down) to squeeze us in to the time we were scheduled, anyway.
Shockingly, no one in the office took responsibility for failing to mark down the appointment.
Not only did they fail to keep the appointment, now they have failed to keep a patient.

Highly recommend, amazing help. Even wild life. And they help with strays. Truly care about animals and not dollar signs.

Dr. Barlowe, her staff, & the other vets (whom we’ve seen at one time or another when Dr. Barlowe has been off) are so compassionate, caring, hard-​working, gifted professionals. Dr. Barlowe has helped us and our fur-​family through urinary crystals, asthma, and even cancer and an eventual euthanasia. Through it all, she has gone above & beyond to research and get our cats the best and latest care available, even referring out to a research hospital for the newest cancer treatment.
With our asthma and urinary crystal & cystitis issues, she has been willing to help explore homeopathic & holistic options.
Five starts all the way!

Unfortunately my dog had to be put down 2weeks ago. She gave us 15 wonderful years The vet we use at My Pets Vet could not have been any more understanding and soothing. She let me hold Jessie thru the whole process When it was over she told my wife n me to spend as much time as we needed

I love My Pets Vet! Wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else unless I had to! Dr Bridget Brooke is amazing! She really loves my dog and hasn’t lost her soft spot for animals. She really cares about her work and it shows! She has saved my dogs life on two occasions now and has stayed at the hospital herself overnight just just to make sure nothing goes wrong. As far as my mini dachshund Izzy is concerned Dr Brooke is part of the family! The technicians do an awesome job of trimming her nails and always fit me in even when I don’t have an appointment. The front desk staff are super helpful always willing to help me fax in my pet insurance claims and keep me on top of Izzy’s shots and appointments. I am partial to Dr Brooke however all the doctors at My Pets Vet are pretty amazing. If you love your pet go here!

Dr. Brook is fine (and that is what the star is for). Dr. Kim Barlowe is not. I liked Dr. Goose when she worked there, but she is no longer there. Things were for my older cat when I used to take her (this was before Dr. Barlowe worked there) When I took my new younger cat there, she was giving us medicine for gingivitis/​stomatitis. She kept re-​running tests for feline aids and leukemia, even though my cat had already tested negative TWICE. When the tests came back negative a third time, it was almost as if she was disappointed that my cat did not have cancer. Apparently it would be trickier to find out what was causing the stomatitis. She looked stumped, of course I was over joyed that my cat did not have a potentially fatal disease. She put my cat on meds and we waited at the front desk for instructions. We had questions it was near closing time, but we needed to make sure that we knew how to give our cat the meds properly. This is when things went REALLY REALLY BAD. Dr. Barlowe was in her office with the door open and when the staff member when to aks Dr. Barlowe additional questions, I overheard 7 saw with the corner of my eye Dr. Barlow tell the lady to «Get them out of here» with her teeth clenched and a very angry look on her face that we were still there and asking questions about the med that the front desk had only just gave. I was outraged. It seemed that the vet really didn’t care about my cat, and any pleasantries earlier on, were just an act. I went one additional time for a re-​check only to be told the meds did not work and she had an unknown auto immune disease. I was charged again for another visit. I had enough. I switched vets to another practice and am happier. I am never rushed out the door, and they don’t charge me for visits classified as re-​check, only for any additional meds given. I hope this helps someone else, and maybe if a vet is going to be rude and angry, they will have their office closed so that the customer doesn’t hear them next time!

We’ve been bringing our cats here soon after we moved to the area. Ever since our first interaction with the staff, we have been fans. They will go out of their way to try and get you in the same day. The doctors and technicians are all great, and take their time with your pets. We’ve been really happy with the care and services our pets have received over the years. Dr Wolfhurst did a great job of saving our of our cats lives several years back.

My Grandmother and I have been bringing our dogs and cats to Dr. Brooke for many years. She always takes wonderful care of them and is very compassionate. She is always extremely thorough in her examination and gives the rundown out loud. My dogs love her and are more comfortable in her waiting room and office than in any other veterinary practice I have been to. The waiting room and evaluation rooms are clean as is the area in the back. Dr. Brooke is an accomplished surgeon and I feel 100% at ease with my dogs in her care.

It seemed that every time I did an animal charity walk. there was Dr. Bridgette Brooke handing out info and donating her time & expertise. It was because of her that I switched from a more local but really incompetent vet to My Pet’s Vet.
I am so happy that I did.
The very first thing I noticed & was impressed with was how Dr. Brooke spent the beginning of our appointment by ignoring me and completely winning over my dog. That was it! I was in love.
I was also impressed with how Dr. Brooke would talk through her exam as if recording what she was doing & finding as she examined my dog. It really made me feel as if i was a part of the process.
The practice is wonderfully state of the art and the hospital area is spotless. There is, I’m told, always someone there with the animals that are overnighters so that’s one less thing to worry about.
When Dr. Brooke became overly popular & really difficult to see I reluctantly switched to another vet. My reticence was quickly proven unfounded as I found Dr. Wulforst to be as dedicated and inclusive & caring as was Dr. Brooke.
When one of my furkids became more & more ill, Dr. Wulforst made herself available almost ²⁴⁄₇. She would call almost daily just to see how my girl was doing. I cannot even count how many times I had to rush my dog to My Pet’s Vet and Dr. Wolfurst always gave as much time to my girl as was necessary.
When the worst day came and I had to say good-​bye to my baby.Dr. Wulforst and the entire staff could not have been more sensitive and understanding.
As long as I live on Long Island I will always use My Pet’s Vet and will unconditionally recommend them to others.

When we moved to Huntington, we took our two Corgis to this vet center. Although I found the vets to be friendly and knowledgeable, and the front desk staff helpful, we stopped coming here.
Why?
The place has an… odor…
All vets have a «pet smell» that’s just always there, but My Pet’s Vet suffers from a lack of cleanliness that made us uncomfortable. Although the outside areas and waiting room seem pleasant, the exam rooms suffer from a lack of attention to facilities… they are old, poorly maintained, and they just… have a stench about them.

Although we went through several different vets, the compassion they showed us when our cat needed to be put to sleep went above and beyond.
