Atlantic Coast New York Veterinary Specialists

I visited here in the middle of the night with my 3 day old kitten. Everyone was so nice and eager to help. They made me feel so at ease & got us in & out quickly. My baby Taz had a severe burn on his back from the heating pad. The Vet was very gentle when she advised the prognosis was not good. They gave me detailed instructions on how to treat it & gave me all the medice & supplies I would need. I left sad but hopeful. Fast forward to current day....Taz is 6 weeks old & so feisty & playful. He has a small scar but he is 100% healthy & happy. If it wasn't for the 2am staff on that Sunday evening I don't know what I would have done. Thank you all so much!!!

Atlantic Coast Vet saved my dog. We discovered a lump on her neck and took her to her primary vet the next day. They did a needle aspiration but told us it was most likely cancer. It took over a week for the results and in that time the lump grew aggressively. When we got the results we were told the test didn't find cancer but they still thought it was cancer. We took her to Atlantic Coast vet for more testing and they scheduled a biopsy and drainage. When the lump got so big that it was interfering with her breathing, Dr. Lesser came in on his day off and did the surgery that same day. We were prepared to say goodbye to our sweet dog, but Dr. Lesser advocated for her and worked really hard to give her the best chance possible. It wasn't cancer. It was a terrible infection. Recovery has been complicated but Atlantic Coast Vet and Dr. Lesser have been supporting us the entire way. They have been upfront about every expense - the only surprise was that at times the actual cost was less than the estimate. Wait times have been brief and every person we've talked to in the 6+ times we've been there has been competent and kind. I cannot recommend them more highly. Special thanks to Dr. Lesser. We wouldn't have our girl if it weren't for him!!

So I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to take one of my beloved puppies to this awful hospital. I had called prior to getting there and letting them know that my dog had just been bitten by another dog. Upon arrival we were told we had to wait, which is not a problem, we filled out the necessary forms. After filling out the forms, we sat and waited a few minutes for a vet. We were told we could go back in the exam room with her when they come back for her, but then someone came out shortly after that conversation and just took her in the back where we couldn't see her or be with her. They flushed out the wound (never shaved it or looked further into it), didn't give her an anti-inflammatory and then allowed my baby girl to come home with her face the size of a grapefruit. When we took her to our primary vet yesterday they were actually appalled that she had looked like this stating that they knew one of the vets there and that they are quite surprised that they let her leave without an anti inflammatory, or shaving it down. My baby girl Cora Jean then had to get an anti-inflammatory shot at our primary vet as well as more antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication due to the negligence of this veterinary establishment. Down below, I have provided pictures of what it has looked like from Saturday November 15th until yesterday November 19th. Yesterday our primary vet shaved her down as much as she would allow and properly cleaned and accessed the full bite, showing how big the full bite really is.

A friend/customer recommended Atlantic coast veterinary specialists to me because my English bulldog needed to see a dermatologist about her ongoing ear infection. I walked in with my dog who was very nervous but also very dramatic lol. The front desk staff were very friendly and professional. We met with Dr. Norma White-Weithers and her assistant Fiona. They’re both very friendly and Dr. Norma is very knowledgeable. I asked several questions regarding my dog's medical condition and about the doctors experience with this particular condition, She didn’t just hand me a pamphlet with meds and send my dog and I home. Dr. Norma was very thorough with the examination. We went over a game plan to try and fix the problem. Before we left my dog was given some treats and butt scratches and of course she wanted more lol. I was very happy with the care my dog was given. Both Dr. Norma and Fiona called to check on my dog a few days later to see how she was doing with the medications given and prescribed. I highly recommend Dr. Norma and Atlantic coast to my friends and family for all their pets needs. Thank you again to everyone for the wonderful care

We were referred to Atlantic Coast Vet by another ER vet after our 15 year old Husky mix started to lose feeling on his back legs. We contacted the office and were given a same day appointment with Dr. Lopez, Kristi and the neurology team. They were amazing! They made me feel better about my baby’s prognosis. Unfortunately, he was rapidly declining and was losing all movement on his back legs, so we decided it was best to let him rest. We went back to the office but this time for the ER since it was after hours. The doctor was thorough, gave us all our options and was supportive of our decision. The ER team was also amazing, they gave us privacy and space for us to mourn. We never felt rushed and I felt comfortable leaving my pup in their hands and knew that they would take care of him after his passing. From the receptionist to the vet tech. I want to thank the entire team at Atlantic Coast Vet for being so welcoming and understanding even if Leon was their patient for a short period of time. We really appreciate all their efforts.
