Report
We were not able to get an appointment with Scarlets regular vets and her condition was worsening. We tried AHR in part based on reviews and their willingness to squeeze us in right away and then took wonderful care of her. They explained clearly what might be going on and recommendations. Focus was entirely on her the whole time we were there. Two injections and she was able to hop right in the car to go home. Well be back.

Weve had very good experiences at this Vet this summer into fall. Very pleased. To us, its worth driving from the Hamptons to Riverhead for this down-to-earth practice. Would recommend.
