My small 14 year old dog had a bad tooth abscess and poor teeth in general so Dr. Farmer suggested that her teeth all be removed. The procedure sounded worse than it actually turned out to be, thankfully. The whole operation, even with anesthesia and IV, went smoothly and she was home eating and walking by 7pm. She's doing really well now and it's good to know her chronic tooth pain is gone. The staff at Heart of Brooklyn and Dr. Bill Farmer are all excellent and kind. They do great work.

I am writing this because it is so hard to find a veterinarian you can put your full faith in and it is a particular challenge in this very large city. This is an exceptional veterinary hospital. It's small, and that's wonderful. Everyone is loving and kind towards pets and people. Particularly the receptionist, Theresa, and the tech (can't remember her name) are great to interact with. That is exceedingly rare in any health setting in this city. I like that there is one veterinarian that you see everytime, and that he knows and cares about your pet. Dr. Farmer is thorough and sympathetic. He will spend as long as you need, answering every single question you have and more, so that you understand deeply any issues or treatment. We found out that our nearly five year old dog has hip dysplasia and intervertebral disc disease which are causing her a lot of pain. She'll probably have to be on some time of pain management for the rest of her life, but he's making sure we are understanding her issues as well as working with us to develop a treatment plan that will be as little invasive as possible. Over three visits, he has spent probably two hours going over every question we have, and made this whole thing much less scary. To be honest, I think his attentiveness may make him run a little bit late, but when you realize that you too are benefitting from this attentiveness, and that he's not going to rush you out of the room when you still have questions... that's really nice.

We met Dr. Farmer about a year ago when he was at another clinic. We are SO excited that he now has his own practice. We were very grateful for the way he helped guide us in the care of our very old dogs in their final months. Dr. Farmer and his staff are always very patient, helpful and extremely welcoming, I am so happy to have found a vet that we trust to give the absolute best care to our two pups (one recently adopted and another older girl).

Dr. Farmer and his staff are great at what they do! They're knowledgeable, patient and kind. We had a dog emergency a few weekends ago and Dr. Farmer squeezed us in and was able to diagnose and come up with a treatment plan for our Yorkie, Bleu, immediately. We are so glad to have Dr. Farmer as our vet!

We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Bill as our vet. As first time dog owners he was able to point out so many issues and provide tips that we would have never thought of or picked up from general research. He has helped keep Louie healthy and for that we are grateful.
