A Throw Back to the Way It Used to Be! Great Vet! – I have been going to Dr. Pasternak for my animal care for more than a decade after dealing with horrible, invasive and expensive vets for a few years. My first two dogs lived to be 18 years old. One of them was at the end of her life and started seizing uncontrollably. I thought it was time for her to go, but Dr. Pasternak said, "Give me the weekend." He took her HOME and cared for her at his house for the weekend -- using traditional and homeopathic remedies (acupuncture, ... read more

DO NOT BOARD HERE! – Tempted to go here based on practice of holisitic medicine? Listen to the controversial reviews! Holistic? Clean? Why then was our dog greeted with an innoculation for kennel cough. We picked up our dog, always a pillar of health, after the holidays and he is "sick as a dog". He has a severe case of kennel cough and his high energy spirit is broken. This is heartbreaking for those of us that love their dogs as children. Please, do not patronize this clinic, and if you were boarding your pets over the hol... read more

Horrific Care – My 2 precious Westies came home from boarding with Dr. Pasternak with scabs all over there chest and stomachs and threw up and did not eat for 3 days. When I called to speak to Dr. Pasternak to tell him about both of their conditions, he said "well, they weren't sick when they were here" and he hung up on me. Dr. Pasternak neglected to care for my healthy dogs and was unprofessional and uncaring about it. This kind of treatment is unacceptable. I now use a private pet sitter and they are returned to me in per... read more

Look no more!!!!!! – Dr.Pasternak is the best vet you will ever have. Most vets rush meds on the animal and you ill end up with a lot of pills. Dr.Pasternak will see what is needed for your pet and what is not and he will does Eastern and Western meds so you ge the best of both types. I say go to him and he will be the last vet you will ever go to.

Amazing Vet! – Dr. Pasternak is amazing! My dog Claire was given 3 days to live by my regular vet, who said he couldn't do anything else for her kidney problems, and i was desperate...that was 5 weeks ago! She is eating well now, and is energetic and happy. He treated her, did acupuncture, put her on raw food and herbs...Dr. Pasternak is the most knowledgeable vet i've encountered in 30 years of dog ownership, I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best for their pet! I am also going to board my animals there, the fac... read more

Inhumane vet still gives me nightmares – my husband & I wanted a peaceful ending for our 15 year old incredible cat & had arranged for an at home euthanasia but that Dr. couldn't make it in time & needed to rush her to the nearest vet which was Dr. Pasternak. We waited forever as she was dying in front of our eyes even though there was not one client except for us. We had asked him for a moment to say goodbye and became so angered by this did not return for a long while. When he finally arrived he asked abrasively who our us... read more

Just a straight waste of money – My dog was misdiagnosed by these guys. I was charged an huge amount of money for something that they should have known was not serious. They did not inform in any way of what the bill would be until I was presented with it and they demanded payment. I walked out thinking that the whole experience was as close to highway robbery as one can find these days.

Doctor Pasternak is Wonderful!! – I have been to 3 other vets and Dr. Pasternak was the only one who gave me so much knowledge on how my dog can be treated. He took really good care of my dog. He used Western and Eastern treatment. I changed his diet to a raw diet as he recommended. He stopped scratching and all the bumps and sores are all gone. His fur is looking not so dry anymore. Thank You Dr. Pasternak. I would recommend him to all of my friends.

Complete absence of bedside manner – The office staff was fantastic, and the office is clean and comfortable, but the doctor himself was awful. Didn't say hello, seemed annoyed that my dog was shy (almost afraid of him, really), and kind of rushed through the office visit. Then, upon checking out, he tried to load me up with nearly $200 worth of new food and supplements. I asked one of his friendly office staff if he was always so brusque, and she said this was a "bad day." Unless I'm desparate, I'm not coming back to see wh... read more
