Very nice staff prices are very expensive. Aquebogue is much better and prices are reasonable.

We were not able to get an appointment with Scarlet’s regular vets and her condition was worsening. We tried AHR in part based on reviews and their willingness to squeeze us in right away and then took wonderful care of her. They explained clearly what might be going on and recommendations. Focus was entirely on her the whole time we were there. Two injections and she was able to hop right in the car to go home. We’ll be back.

We’ve had very good experiences at this Vet this summer into fall. Very pleased. To us, it’s worth driving from the Hamptons to Riverhead for this down-to-earth practice. Would recommend.

Professionalism, Reliability, Responsiveness.
We were Referred by our friend to visit them. We were surprised to know this is an One-Stop Shop for Pet Care which includes doctors office, hospital, pet grooming , pet hotel and more.
Dr. Lachhar examined our 7 year old Boxer in detail and brought to our attention of dental issues and showed us the spots and we were surprised to know that our Vet in Queens never saw it. Although we are quite far from this place but have decided now to be their clients for sure.
We are Extremely Happy by the professional services provided by Dr. Lachhar and friendly

Becky and the WHOLE team are great. They got Mia in at the last minute on a Saturday when they have reduced hours. Dr. Lachhar is super and SO caring and explains everything. The group treats your pet as if it is their own. I had to get Mia checked out because she had a little blood in her stool. The Doctor gave her an X-Ray and blood work and an initial shot and meds to take home as well as a bland dog food from Hills. My Mia is VERY finicky but she scarfed down the food like it was going to run away from her and the pills were mixed in! She normally hates ANY dog food wet or dry. I strongly recommend

They were very professional and caring.I went there because no vet was open. I was a little nervous, about going to a vet hospital and the cost. I was very happy all around with the services and the bill. Very grateful...my dog is all better..Thanks.

They have taken care of all my pets for years. The doctor is wonderful with my current baby Stitch. Their groomer is one of the best. My dog loves her and she always makes Stitch look so cute.
