When my dog had to be put to sleep, one of the woman who works at the front desk was extremely nasty and unprofessional to myself and my son. We were so upset and she was so rude.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! Our German shepherd puppy had growing pains which they were treating with steroids. His symptoms were on and off, just recently he had a bad relapse with the pain and instead of diving deeper they kept him for only a few hours and sent him home. He then died 12 hours later! HE WASNT EVEN TREATED PROPERLY AND NEVER SHOULD HAVE CAME HOME. Ive spoke to other vets and they all said bloodwork shouldve been done earlier to see why nothing was changing, but instead waited till it was too late to find out something else was going on with the dog. AND HERES THE BEST PART THEY

OUTSTANDING!! Dr. Fischer was my dog's doctor. Not only was he kind, professional but he truly cares for the animal's well-being. He always took the time to explain what was in the best interest for my dog's health and well-being. I always felt comfort at Islip Animal Hospital, both doctors and staff are considerate, caring and take the extra step to ensure every pet is treat properly.
