Animal Hospital of White Plains

Fine medical care, great bedside manner, and really treat every animal as both a loyal friend and truly like a patient. They really show their professional and sweet side. The staff is quite kind.
Dr. Sandy Tarasoff is my cat’s doctor. She is sweet to him, gives great care, speaks and I feel (*a tad for fun*) she speaks to both of us like he understands her. That’s more in my head, but nice.
In closing I highly recommend out, love their care, and their staff.

Since getting my first pet last year, this is actually the only vet office/​animal clinic I have ever known. I have nothing else to compare it to, but the four or five times I’ve been here, I’ve had a pleasant visit every single time. The staff is friendly and clearly cares about their four-​legged patients.
The place is clean and in good shape, and very affordable. I’ve interacted with Dr. Maria Lagana on several visits and the other vet (I think it was Dr. Sandy Tarasoff) just once – and they were both pleasant, informative, and super-​sweet to my dog.
The wait times have been pretty minimal; my appointments are usually mid-​week, in the late afternoon or early evening. So far, so good!

This place is all about the money, not about the animals. It’s sad. Maria Lagana is not a compassionate person. Out of all of them, I’d say she is the least professional.

Animal Hospital of White Plains — Dr. Sandy Tarasoff.
I’m specifically writing this review for Dr. Tarasoff and most of her office staff that i’ve met — Dr. Tarasoff is the best veterinarian i have met till now. i’ve had dogs and cats as pets and in turn met and worked with quite a few vets, but Sandy Tarasoff is the best among them all.
not only has she accurately diagnosed ailments for my pets, and treated them with correct/​precise therapies, she has also made herself patiently available for ALL my questions and informal advice i’ve needed for my pets.
Dr. T — you are an awesome resource!
thank you.

I’ve only taken our cat here once for a check up, but the experience was very good! The staff was caring and professional– my cat gets extremely panicked at the vet and has needed to be sedated in the past, but the staff handled her very well. The vet’s assistant was so funny and caring, talking to Ginny and trying to keep her calm. I’m very glad that there is an affordable, caring vet so close to us!

This is the best place to take your beloved pet. Dr Lagana saved my dog’s life. She even stayed after hours and drove back to the animal hospital to check on him. She really loves all of her patients. Plus, she is so intelligent. Dr. Tarasoff is also excellent.

This animal hospital is great. I really like Dr. Tarasoff. If you go, request an appt with her. I do not care for the other doctor so much and I understand quite a few people feel the same. The staff is great. The prices are what you’d pay anywhere in the area.

Staff is very caring and professional. Dr. Tarasoff is always upbeat even when my cat behaves… well like a cat going to the vet. She takes the time to explain everything and we (April and I) leave knowing what to do next.
April had to have extensive dental work done due to her life as a stray/​shelter cat. She is thriving under the care of Animal Hospital of White Plains.
Fees are reasonable. Appointments are convenient. Hours are flexible.

I wish I could say good things, but the only thing good to come out of my experience with this office was the adoption of a rescued cat. One of the practices owners acted extremely unprofessionally when I questioned a charge (I was told it was included in the adoption fee). While i repeatedly restated the sequence of events to both her and her partner of how I was instructed the charge was in the original adoption fee, she refused to listen. It ended horribly, and not only will I never return, but I do warn others to get everything in writing, if they HAVE to go there.

In my opinion this is an excellent clinic. The vets and staff are warm, understanding and above all, very competent. Their fees are reasonable. I would refer any animal owner that I know to this clinic.

The staff were all very warm and courteous. We brought our dog here after he began limping this morning, seemingly out of nowhere. They squeezed us in right away and we were in and out in less than an hour. They offered a few possible diagnoses, explained which tests were necessary and performed them. Our dog required medication, which they had on-​hand, and the prices were reasonable. The basic exam ran $ 58, which is about on-​par based on our other experiences at local vets.
There is a duplicate review for this place, both one-​stars, which bring down the overall average, though I would disregard them. If you are concerned about «unrequested services,» simply clarify with the personnel at the clinic. I believe the doctor was rather clear about the procedures she was going to perform and while she didn’t mention a price, we weren’t too concerned since none of the procedures seemed unnecessary. I’m absolutely certain that if we had asked about costs, they would have broken that down for us.
Overall, our experience was great and I would encourage anyone to visit this clinic.
