Wellness Exams
Annual physical examinations help prevent disease through early detection. Our veterinarians create personalized vaccination schedules based on age, environment, and risk factors. Regular checkups protect against rabies, parasites, and other treatable conditions while establishing baseline health metrics for your pet.
In-House Laboratory
Rapid diagnostic capabilities include complete blood counts, chemistry panels, and parasite testing. Immediate results enable prompt treatment decisions for sick animals. Specialized equipment supports comprehensive analysis of blood, urine, and tissue samples to guide effective treatment plans.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair without side effects. Sessions lasting 3-8 minutes provide pain relief for arthritis, joint issues, and soft tissue injuries. Bio-stimulatory effects improve mobility and quality of life for pets with chronic conditions.
Dental Procedures
Comprehensive dental care includes cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Advanced monitoring during procedures ensures patient safety with IV fluids, EKG, and pain management. Post-operative care instructions help maintain oral health between professional treatments.

Before I begin, let me state I have not been compensated in any way for this review. I rarely ever post a review for something or someone! Something exceptional ( or exceptionally bad) has to occur for me to sit down and write anything. I am just a local resident of East Quogue with a puppy, Molley Rey Cyrus Jackson. Molley Rey has been a patient of Good Ground for almost 10 years, and until 3 days ago I never really thought about it, but I HAVE NEVER HAD 1 BAD EXPERIENCE WITH WITH GOOD GROUND (NOT EVEN A LITTLE ONE)!!! Molley Rey's insurance company was requesting 3 years of invoices to assist

Just had a visit for our nervous dog for an eye infection. As always, the entire staff went above and beyond. They met us with full masks (due to COVID-19) at my car and were able to coax Millie out the car with gentle encouragement. Cant rave enough about this vet and staff. Were always grateful for them!

If you feel like I do about your pet that they are a member of your family then you will not get any better care anywhere else than from this office. Ive been going to this office for almost 5 years now and I travel 35 miles each way! I would hope that that would at least say something for Dr. Spanbock and his staff! We thank you!
