Assisi Veterinary Hospital

I have been going to Assisi for several years with my three dogs. The office is always clean and inviting. The receptionist are warm and friendly, always willing to help me. Dr Guzman and the rest of the Dr’s are great and knowledgeable. I recommend this hospital to all my family and friends.

I thought the vet was very good, compassionate, thorough, friendly. I brought my golden in to have his ear examined because it has seemed to be infected. I was disappointed by the exorbitant cost for them to take a culture. $ 195 seems very high and I felt kind of ambushed when presented with the cost, since no mention was made, prior to my paying at the end, that it would be so expensive. They should have given me a heads up as to what I was facing in cost. Not cool. Added to the charge for an ear smear, the exam, and medication which also seemed excessively priced based on my on line research, I got walloped with a $ 370 bill, and this prior to knowing if my dog has a serious ear problem. I would recommend this vet with the advice to get an estimate of what you are looking at in cost before getting to the desk on the way out.

I have been coming here for years and unfortunately i am here often because i have a shih tzu with allergies and eye problems. That being said dr guzman and dr Chen are great along with everyone else! Its very clean and even though its a busy office you arent kept waiting for that long with an office full of other dogs. Any time i have needed to get in immediately they always accommodate me and its truly appreciated. They are kind and gentle with petey which always helps especially since im one of those beyond crazy about my dog people :) i would recommend both of these wonderful doctors to anyone.

Personal, caring service for our pets and those we have referred. Must disagree with some I’ve read, if meds not appropriate, we were told as such, NOT sold. Grooming staff very gentle with our difficult dog. All good.

Caring staff and state of the art equipment. I have known Dr. Guzman for many years now and I highly recommend his hospital for your pets along with grooming by his experienced groomer, Jen Eicher and her staff. The office is always spotless, the front desk staff is caring and always helpful. Dr. Guzman loves his work and will always go the extra mile to take care of his patients.

These people DO NOT care about your pet! .all they care about is how much money they can get out of you!.. I brought my dog there 4 times is the last 5 years, he has a reoccurring ear condition that they admitted will always come back and will have to be continuously treated, they’ve prescribed the SAME medicine four years in a row, they refused to give it to me unless they examine and change me $ 700 for two tubes of medicine, and they stopped a online pharmacy from filling the prescription, I explained that the dog was given the Meds a week ago and was clearing up and doing well but I ran out, they didn’t care all the want is a visit so the can bang you out, I was warned about this place I should of listened, BRING YOUR PET SOMEPLACE ELSE! all they care about is the bill!!!

Where do I start this review?! This whole practice is amazing and my love of my life french bulldog Bailey would not be with us now had it not been for Dr. Guzman and his wonderful staff. When Bailey started vomiting from a Friday into a Saturday morning I went on Unilocal to find a new vet as we had just moved to the area several months ago. After reading the wonderful reviews for Assisi I picked up the phone to make an appt. Maria at the front desk got us right in for that morning. Long story short after some X-​rays Dr. Guzman had to perform emergency surgery to remove an elk antler piece from Baileys stomach. Not only did Dr. Guzman provide us with all the options we had he performed exactly what was necessary for Bailey to survive. After a few days in the facility for recovery Bailey is back home and we couldn’t be happier. The care that he received at Assisi was amazing and we found our new vet! Best Vet EVER and we are incredibly lucky to have found them.

As a resident of Malverne, it seemed fitting to support local business and give Assisi a try. So happy we did. Five years later, a visit to Assisi Vet is very much like returning home… everyone is family there. The staff have a sincere love for what they do. The care received is always top-​notch featuring the latest technology and products. There is never a wait which is always appreciated when wrestling a 5 year old «puppy» on a leash, and a toddler on your hip.
Never overcharged, always reasonable. ALWAYS honest which is a big plus in my book.

Assists veterinary hospital is wonderful. Staff are so friendly. They listened to my pet problems and work with my pet, me and my budget. My pet got the best care. Dr Guzman and all staff are knowledgeable and truly love there work and animals. It is obvious that everyone who walks in to vet feel the same. I actually so dogs who wanted to come in. I will continue to use Assisi and will differently recommend. Straight A’s across the board

Awesome place! I have moved several times and have had my share of vets but when i recently moved to the area many people recommended Assisi to me as a primary vet. I didnt have to use them until my cat ran out of the house and came back mangled. It was late at night and near their closing time and friendly receptionist calmed me down and told me to come in right away. Bloodwork and xrays were done on the spot and started on IV pain medication. They stayed open for me and treated my cat with compassion. What relieved me the most is the Dr. Guzman gave me many options in treatment and was up front with me regarding cost. I really didnt want to leave him overnight by himself so one of the technicians offered overnight care. I gladly accepted as it comforted me that my «Hogie» would have his own nurse giving around the clock care. I even had the nurse call me throughout the night and give me updates regarding his condition as I was not going to be sleeping anyway. He stayed for two days and was able to take him home. Upon leaving what i believe was the whole staff saying goodbye to by baby one by one. Apparently he won their hearts too!
I will continue to use Assisi as my vet! Dr Guzman and Dr. chen are wonderful!!! I spoke with a Dr. Granzin once regarding lab results and she seemed really nice and super informative!
Love the place super clean and super friendly!!!

Amazing vet spot! I have an exotic pet which are usually pricey visits for no reason. I was nervous about my bearded dragons first visit but soon my anxiety was soothed. My bearded dragon is always seen same day, if not next day at the LATEST. This vet spot does NOT overprice.
Let me tell you, when it comes to Xrays and parasite tests it can be pricey. Dr Guzman seems very concious of a pet owners budget. I appreciate the efforts to keep unecessary spending limited. This is competent and HONEST veterinary care. Affordable place, kind and genuine people, this place is great.
Dr Guzman is calm, and well informed on herp/​reptiles as well as the traditional house pet. I trust this place with the health of my exotic reptile. Princess is always treated well, gently and with care. Going home with a happy and healthy pet :)

I take my yorkies, Tink and Roxy, to Dr. Guzman at Assisi. Dr. Guzman made me feel very comfortable with taking my girls there. He takes the time to address all of my concerns and answers every question I have. The rest of the doctors and staff are all wonderful as well. I also bring my girls there for grooming. Jen always does an amazing job. I love that they have an Easter bunny and Santa Claus each year to take pictures with the pets and all donations go to a local animal shelter. I especially love the pet costume contest and parade each year — my girls love these events too! This animal hospital is truly the best and I won’t go anywhere else!

I brought my dog here thinking she only had a mild illness and found out she had an infection in her uterine horns. The doctor was able to give my dog much needed surgery immediately, canceling other client’s appointments (very sorry about that, other doggy owners). They did an excellent job and made the whole experience as cost efficient as possible. I’m very grateful for the care my dog received here. I had the pleasure of meeting two of the doctors — who were both caring and professional — and all of the wonderful nurses and receptionists. There’s not one unkind person in the whole place; one is even nicer than the next. Reggie is home, happy, and on her way to a full recovery thanks to them.

It was late at night when I noticed a cat had been hit by a car and left in the road. It was not my pet and I did not have the extra funds to pay to humanly euthanize it. It was horrible, the cat was suffering so much. It was going to be a slow but almost definite death. I called several hospitals who all said it would be expensive to help this cat. But when I called these guys they helped right away. I rushed the cat into them. I could tell that they were focused on making him feel comfortable and taking all his pain away. They didn’t have to do this. In fact they were the only hospital who said they would. They even stayed open a little longer to give me time to get the cat to them. They are compassionate about animal welfare. It’s not all just business to them. This is why I would recommend them any day.

This is by far the best vet hospital around. Dr Guzman is very knowledgeable. Dr Chem is also excellent. They have cared for my 2 dogs for over 4 years through some vry difficult times. The younger one has Addison’s disease (very difficult to manage) the experience is wonderful from the moment we walk in the door. the front desk is friendly and knowledgeable. The whole staff really cares for my beloved pups. The place is immaculate. Jennifer grooms them and they look like show dags
Can’t rave enough

Super employees. Very kind and friendly. The office manager and the kennel manager are great! The groomer did a great job on my dog. Even when I walk past the hospital for no reason with my dog, they make a fuss, and give him a treat!

Great employees, the doctor was great. It’s was clean. The prices were affordable and they don’t tell you that your pet needs a ton of extra things they don’t need.

My pekatese had a terrible cough and was making horrible wretching noises. i was afraid she had swallowed some chicken bones. The vets I called near me wanted to give me an appointment late in the day. I could see my dog was in distress although not in extreme danger. I gave Assisi vets a call and the receptionist expressed sincere concern and told me to bring her right over. I WAS SO RELIEVED! The vet tech and then Dr. Tim examined her gently and taking an X-​ray as a precaution diagnosed her tentatively with kennel cough.
I will use these vets as my dog’s health provider from now on. They were professional but also caring. I got lost on the way over and the receptionist was kind and said she looked forward to seeing me which allayed any embarrassment I might have felt. I highly recommend this place.

I highly recommend Assisi Veterinary Hospital’s services!!! I ve known Dr. Guzman over 4 years, and in this time I ve trusted him my three little ones: Bandido, Bella and Blue with excellent results. He s always been very professional and willing to answer all kind of questions. He s also great following up after every visit! Always available, caring and reliable, Doctor Guzman really looks after his «patients»!!!

Very attentive vets, called me all the time to calm my worries and answer all my questions. Saved my dogs life, end of story.
