My senior dog had an abscess under her eye. Our regular vet was booked. I was able to get a next day appointment at Shirley Vet Hosp. I was expecting to double what I would at our Vet. Nope. This place is totally affordable. Nice staff. Honest doctor. I will be using them again.

Super upset!!!! wasted 1hr on one of the hottest days driving to the vet to get there and to be told that they couldn't cut my dogs nails unless he had his rabies shot. I should of been told ahead of time when I made my appt. So upsetting, it was so hot and lots of traffic and it's far too.. I felt so bad for my dog 🐕 having to sit in the car in this heat.. 😫

My cat Oscar had an abscess and had to get it drained. Dr. Archer and the staff was very nice and caring. They fit me in 3 days in a row to have him looked at (only charged me for the 1st visit since the others he just looked at the leg to assess if it was worse or better) before deciding to get surgery. The surgery went well and Oscar is all better. I will certainly be going back with my other pets!

We thought our 12 year old lab Tank was down for the count after he fell down. He had only been to 2 other vets since we had him from 11 weeks old. We took him religiously for wellness visits and they knew about his hip Dysplacia and we never had a conversation about treatment. When he fell we were told to bring him to an orthopedic specialist and we found Shirley Animal Hospital on our own. When we brought him in we were expecting the worst thought imaginable for our fur baby. Dr. Archer reassured us he would be fine and was shocked we were not treating for his illnesses (that's right multiple

Don't EVER take your animal to Shirley Veterinary Hospital on Montauk Hwy.....they misdiagnosed my cat, put him on the wrong medicine and due to that, I came home to find my cat of 13 years, dead. His bloodwork came in and proved he should never have been put on the meds to begin with. Please, PLEASE do not bring your furbabies there. No one should have to go through something like this.

Dr. Archer and staff was so amazing with my roomates new Doberman puppy today. The pup was obviously scared with her first vet visit but literally 5 other people from the staff were giving her treats and trying to make her feel as wecome and comfortable as she could. They also gave such good advice, spent a lot of time for the exam, and got some shots. Best vet experience I ever had, Dr. Archer loved the pup so much he even asked to take a pic with her for the website and was so excited to be her doc. Great place for your pet care needs!!!

Front desk staff is a DISASTER, techs are unprofessional and condescending, doctors are gung-ho about crazy amounts of tests and the building is falling apart. WHY would I ever go back?! I only went because the first visit was free - I'd never actually PAY to bring a pet there!

I want to start off this with saying although I will not be coming back, my first visit with my new kitten was great with Dr. Archer.

My next two I saw a different vet and both appointments I left overcharged and unsatisfied with the quality of the visit and the attitude of the staff.

My most recent visit, I waited 10 minutes in the waiting room to be checked in by the staff (while waiting I heard them all chatting and gossiping in the back) that one of the men working on the renovation had to get their attention that someone was waiting. Another 15 minutes goes by, and I finally see

The compassion exhibited at Shirley veterinary hospital is hard to beat. Dr Archer and his team are top notch. The facility is state of the art and you couldn't give your pet better care. I have recommended this facility to many people and that's not something I do often .

This is a review of Dr. Infernuso, who preformed surgery on my dog at this hospital.

Dr. Infernuso is a wonderful, caring physician. He operated on my dog Zoe in a hurricane. That's right, Dr. Infernuso didn't let little old Hurricane Sandy get in the way of his practice.

From the very first consultation his dedication and skill was evident. First, Dr. Infernuso took the time to review x-rays and offer his opinion in great detail over the phone. It's a rare doctor who will discuss a case in any depth over the phone. From the x-rays he knew the problem and, importantly, how to
