Report
I couldn't even get in the door. I called to make an appt for a sick ferret. Receptionist was very kind and gave me one for the next day. I realized after we had hung up that two of my ferrets were having respiratory issues and i called back to bring them both in. The receptionist unfortunately only had enough time for one ferret- which was fine. I said i will make another appt another day for the other ferret and let's keeps the first ferrets appt.
She then scolded me and told me what I CAN and CANNOT do with MY ferrets medication wise. "Just because one ferret is sick and gets medications, doesn't mean you are to give the other ferret the same thing!". I'm an emergency veterinarian technician and I KNOW what I should and should not do. Now- while I understand she does not know my career choice, she should not be scolding clients on what they can and cannot do with their own animals. I quickly canceled my appt. Based off of her rudeness, I will take my business else where.

First time visits this week at Monroe Animal Hospital. the office is great, from the minute you walk in you feel welcome. You can tell that everyone there loves working with animals, the vet techs are amazing, especially Mary! It was such a pleasure meeting Dr. Hornstein, he was wonderful with my pups, and he listens to your concerns and explains everything to you. So happy. They took an emergency visit with me girl Harley right away, you can tell they care. Great place to go!

It was our first time using this practice and I found Dr Hornstein to be extremely thorough in his examination of my dog. In addition to treating my pet's health issue, he also gave us information that was extremely relevant about preventative treatments and vaccinations that had not been shared by our former practice. I'm glad that we made the switch and would definitely recommend this veterinary practice.

I am so happy with this veterinary practice. Dr. Hornstein, Michelle, and the rest of the staff are so wonderful. I have an extremely fearful dog, who has been more fearful than usual due to a recent traumatic experience, and the entire staff was so kind to her. Anybody with a fearful animal will know the stress and anxiety of taking them to the vet. The staff here make that stress completely unwarranted. You can tell they truly care about animals.
