Caring veterinarian We were considering leaving this practice until about 4 years ago, when I met Allison Massenzio. She really seemed to care how my older dog was doing. Dr. Massenzio even sat on the floor to avoid stressing him out. I was shocked that I didn't have to call and ask for test results! Dr M called me with them and spent extra time answering my questions. My dog is at least 11 years old (he's from a shelter), but he's doing well thanks to her.

The DOCTORS here are INCREDIBLE ! THE DOCTORS : I think it's the doctors that make a hospital - & this place has great ones in spades . DR. ALLISON MASSENZIO is the one I met with .. She's direct, loving toward the animals, frank, and absolutely excellent at what she does - for cats AND dogs. She did the vaccinations right in front of me - without a blink of an eye or a peep of dissent from either of my Persian Himalayans. A shot and no yelp ???!! The same thing with her temperature taking ..

My dog DIDN'T die at Best Friends Animal Hospital! As a matter of fact they saved his life! I would be lost without Dr. Habib and her caring team. They seem so insync with each other that it feels like home to my dog. My dog has had many complications through out the yrs and Best Friends has always been on top of his issues. I would hope that people reading these reviews take all of them into account before making any decisions on their pet care.

Not what it used to be I have been going there for about 8 years now and I've noticed a decline in the overall service there. My experience with the doctors have been good, but the front office is not very helpful or organized. Recently (7/16/08), I had one of my cats in to find out why her breathing was so labored. After the exam/consult, I was told there would be an X-Ray, blood drawn and lab work - not a very detailed rundown of services until I got the bill. There was no estimate given of the procedures being done before... read more

Caring and Bright ! I treat my dog as if he was my child. He gets his yearly check up at the vet. When I moved in May, my friend recommended Best Friends. I am SO thankful! The hospital staff was welcoming and the doctor treated my dog like her own. He has arthritis and the doctor said that there are other ways to help him besides medication. Now he gets acupressure and massage! I can already see a difference. I highly recommend Best Friends!

Saved my dog's life! My dog slipped his leash and was hit by a car! I rushed him to Best Friends and the doctor treated him immediately - on a Sunday. He had to stay in the hospital for a few days but is all better now! My old vet would have just put him down. I am so greatful for the care my dog received!

Great Animal Care! We just had 5 major surgeries for our 3 dogs. Dental work, hernia surgery and neuter. All came out with flying colors. The staff was very helpful and caring. Although their prices are MORE than reasonable (I researched) they also helped me to arrange financing through a special financing company with no interest option. I highly reccomend this wonderful pet hospital!!!

Several years experience - always great We have taken two dogs to this Vet for several years, and could not be happier with the service and care we have received. The staff has been universally qualified, professional and caring. I credit them with saving the life of one of my dogs who required a lengthy hospitalization, and is now fully recovered. I completely disgagree with the reviewer who didn't like the physical space -- it has always seemed to me to be clean and well kept. Pricing is competitive, and I have never felt ... read more
