Brought the dog to try out a new vet. We are very happy with them! Super nice and very straightforward. I didn't feel rushed speaking with the Dr. Looking forward to bringing our dog back in the future.

Outstanding. We are big animal people and our rescues have had a good number of issues unfortunately. I always trust that they are in excellent hands while their. And they are very good about accommodating you and communicating with you, as best they can, when when the situation is urgent. Great people.

I found an injured feral cat in my yard who ended up testing positive for feline aids. Because his illness made him resistant to healing, no vet I brought him to was able to heal the gaping wound he had on his neck. To make matters worse it was very difficult to get him to and from vet appointments because of his feral nature. I had heard good things about Dr. Kaplan and took Roscoe to Smithtown Animal Hospital. Dr. Kaplan formulated a very unique treatment plan and kept Roscoe at the hospital from September through April. By the time he came home at the end of April, Roscoe was completely healed
