This comprehensive method helps manage chronic conditions while promoting natural healing processes in pets across Nassau County.
Pet Physical Therapy
Specialized rehabilitation programs feature underwater treadmill hydrotherapy, land treadmills, and Fit Paws equipment. We offer cold laser therapy, PEMF treatment, and customized exercise plans for post-surgical recovery and performance enhancement. Our physical therapy helps pets regain mobility and strengthen muscles through evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs.

Super kind and caring veterinarian and staff! My dog Mira and myself are definitely more at ease when we come here and it especially helps my dog (and myself ) stay calm during the exam. I feel confident in talking to the doctor, knowing that she understands both conventional and hollistic side of veterinary medicine and that this hospital supports raw/homecooked/fresh diets. I never feel like I am pressured into buying anything or being scammed. Keep up the great work

I went to Williston Park Animal Hospital with my cat who suffers from chronic allergies. Dr. Balter was great and thorough. She tried to think of EVERYTHING that could possibly help my cat. It is too early to tell if her allergies are under control yet, but it was a great first visit with Dr. Balter at Williston Park Animal Hospital! I will definitely spread a positive word and will be back!

It is the most meaningful to see… how the most compassionate, the most gentle, and most expert Dr. Hardoon is with my dog.

This place is better than my own doctors office. From the receptionist all the way to the veterinarians I was thoroughly impressed! I would recomend this to everyone. They easily handled my cat's travel documents to Europe. They are Aphis accredited and valid for all international pet travel! Thanks again Williston Park Animal Hospital!
