I think that the person who wrote the last review is short sighted. I got a new dog who was supposedly vetted out by a legitimate veterinarian and got the "free" shots from the dog pound, which were given to my new animal by Dr. Levy, which is how I met him. Twice now, because he insisted on doing a thorough physical before giving the dog any shots, he has found deadly congenital defects in the dogs and saved me thousands of dollars of expensive medical treatments, not to mention the heartache when the dogs would have eventually died. I was able to get the so called healthy dogs back to the pound and got different ones instead. If you have kids, you know the bond that your kids make with their dogs and Dr. Levy saved us a lot of pain by insisting on being thorough. As a matter of fact, we were going to a different vet who had told us that the dog was healthy and when our dog was in an accident and Dr. Levy was covering, we found out he had a serious heart condition that the other vet missed. So, I say that if you are looking for a vet that will treat your pet like you would want your doctor treating you, thoroughly, Port Chester Animal Hospital is the place to be.

Today I brought my two healthy dogs in to this practice for a simple teeth cleaning, a more specialized treatment. My primary vet is with another practice and does not specialize in the cleaning of dog’s teeth. I feel I was very poorly treated here. And I lost an hour of my day. I was originally told by their reception/or tech assistant that their primary vet required a blood test first to make certain there was no issue with putting the dogs under. This made complete sense. What did not make sense was the vet's insistence on recreating a complete physical per dog, on my appearance, even though both were recently seen by my primary vet and received a clean bill of health. I had also told the receptionist on arriving that my primary vet could fax any information needed to them. I felt this duplication quite uneccesary. People don’t have complete physicals when seen by their dentist! Vet's are not regulated to behave in the manner of our own doctors--I feel this is a huge mistake. Boutique veterinarians in our day appear to be most concerned with making their money and disregard the fact that all of these additional treatments prescribed are costly and in the end potentially weaken the state of our healthy dogs in the USA. The American lines of this breed are not very sound. Both of my dogs are from imported and healthy bloodlines. Sadly working with some of today’s vets can make it appear very difficult to try to keep them this way. L. Lyons
