I can't say enough great things about Dr. Cohen! He diagnosed my Bruno and treated him properly when other vets have failed him. Thank you for helping our pup who is now home with us! Your patience, expertise and kindness does not go unnoticed! And thank you to all of the staff at Bay Street Animal Hospital who have helped along the way :

On the advice of a SI Facebook group I went to Bay Street Animal Hospital and my dog was seen by Dr. Cohen (no relation) Unfortunately my dog has a fast growing tumor and we discussed options. He said that at her age and the aggressiveness of the tumor he would not recommend putting her through surgeries and chemo, that may or may not work. He was amazingly kind and compassionate. Got me bottled water and cared for me as I was feeling lightheaded.

I highly recommend this practice, especially if Dr C is working. **I went to a fancy competitor in NJ, just 2 weeks earlier, for the same issue. I spent 1k and never saw the vet once. She only called me by cellphone. Clinically that may not affect the care of the patients, but on a human level, owners need some care too.

Overpriced and incompetent. I had my dog spayed here. When I asked the doctor when I needed to bring her back for a follow-up, he said I didn't have to because they used glue which would dissolve on its own. When I got her home and inspected the wound, there were staples. Then, I needed to get her heart worm medication. I got her first two doses from them. I then tried to order a six month supply from Chewy.

They wouldn't approve, first claiming she needed a heart worm test (she didn't), then claimed they would only give one dose at a time until she's a year (her breed generally reaches adult size by 9 months) because the meds are weight based, then they approved the six month supply, then they rejected it, then they approved a three month from chewy, (chewy only sells in 6 or 12 month supply), then they said they wouldn't give a prescription until she's a year, but would send me 2 pills in the mail for $63. (Chewy was going to charge $123 for 6 months). I will NEVER use this place again. No one knows what's going on. You get a completely different answer every time you speak to someone. I'm calling the licensing board to formally complain.

From booking to the actual appointment went great! One of the techs Johnny was so helpful and understanding. Our dog gets extremely nervous and anxious at the vet, and he did all he could and more to make her comfortable. Dr Aanonsen also is wonderful! She makes you extremely comfortable, and is very thorough, she knows how to handle your pets well, and makes sure all your questions are answered. Thanks to you guys for treating us so well!

ZERO STARS! Took my Pomeranian there last night (1/15/22) for an emergency visit as she had blood in her stool and vomit. They made me sign an estimate sheet on how much the visit would be. $85 for office visit. $160 for blood work. I end up walking out of there paying $450 with no medicines because of how expensive they were. They told me she had no fever when the nurse didn't even check her for fever.

And worst of alll they destroyed the fur on her butt. I use a special groomer to keep her fur round and silky. When I mentioned to girls of her damaged fur.they just sat there & couldn't care less! Gross. Now her backside is completely destroyed! NEVER AGAIN WILL I OR ANYONE I KNOW STEP FOOT IN THAT PLACE! Today I'm taking her to my regular vet for meds. I did learn something. Richmond Valley Vets are amazing!
