I used to live a few miles away from Dr. Banister's office and always would bring my dogs there. The care and love the doctor and staff provided for them over the years was outstanding. I recently had to move to an assisted living center in Mass. and have to locate a new vet. I am hoping I can find someone just as caring. I really hope that is possible.

Hoppenstedt Animal Hospital is without a doubt the best animal hospital around. I have taken my dogs and cats to Dr. Banister since 2001. Dr. Banister and his staff consistently provide superior care to their patients, and are always kind, considerate and compassionate to the owners as well. I travel 40 miles each way to get to Hoppenstedt, but it is well worth the trip to know that my critters are always well cared for. Dr. Banister is by far the best veterinarian I have ever used, and his staff is always kind, professional... read more

Just a joke...I brought an injured,tagged homing pigeon there yesterday and was refused any help by a snarly bitch.She wouldn't even give me a cardboard cage to help transport the bird to another facility.Absolutely a creepy experience-money grubs to be sure.No conscience.

Great care, good people, yes expensive – We have taken our two large dogs to Dr. Bannister for years. They have always received excellent care and accurate and thorough diagnoses. I trust their professionalism and dedication. Yes, the prices are high. I recommend getting pet health insurance if you are worried about financial impact because all vets are expensive these days. I like that they offer to match any internet price for heartworm medication to make sure you get fresh medication from a trusted source. Sure, they are ... read more

Mere words can not express how I feel about Todd Bannister and his staff of Angels. – I don't know where those other reviewers went, but it certainly was not to Hoppenstedt Animal Hospital. The care my last dog Rusty got there was the best I could have gotten him anywhere at any price. Todd was excellent with Rusty, and I would have trusted no one else with his care, especially after he got sick. And when I had to put Rusty down, Todd and his Staff were kind, compassionate and above all caring. I still have the bereavement c... read more

THE BEST ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN ULSTER COUNTY – I generally do not write reviews, but felt it necessary in this case. I have used most of the Vets in Ulster county with mixed results. Until I went to Hoppenstedt Veterinary Hospital, I was never completely pleased with the doctors and staff at most hospitals. This country vet is fantastic. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who helped me collect my records from other hospitals and had numerous insiteful questions about my dog, Buddy. The lobby is rustic but informative and ... read more

Veteranarians Need An Attitude Adjustment and Go Back to Vet School – This had to be the most horrific experience that I have ever encountered with an Animal Hospital. The Vet on duty who took my animal as an emergency case, did not do a full exam to find out what was wrong with her. He found basically nothing wrong, yet the pet threw an embolism 3 weeks later and had to be euthanized. I was in SHOCK and still am. DO NOT GO HERE!!

Avoid at all Costs – When I went there they were so bad with my cat they had to anesthetize just to take tests. All the work I had done on her came to $365! I asked to pay in two installments and they said I could use their own credit program. I said I don't do credit but could I make another payment next month? They said no. I had to pay in full or use a charge card which I don't do. Their staff is hardly warm. Dr. Bannister is a vet who is more concerned with getting paid and charging a fortune than caring for an animal. H... read more

horrific prices and wrong information – I took a stray cat to Hoppenstedt to find out whether it was pregnant or not and was told she was and that they would spay her for $700 (I kid you not). I quickly found out two things - other vets would have done the same procedure for under $200 and that the cat was not pregnant in the first place. In fact, it turned out she had already been spayed.
