Shelter Island Veterinary Hospital

We had a really great experience here today with our new puppy Melon. I don’t know if our vets name is Dr. Pearson or if that was his first name but he was super friendly and encouraging as a first time dog mom. I really appreciated how understanding everyone was of all of my questions! Abby the vet assistant was great with both our dog and my kids! Thank you ☺️

Everyone treated us great and got my amazing senior Luna back to running. Elizabeth is such an amazing manager who keeps the hospital great. Lizzie an amazing receptionist who made us feel with confidence that Luna was going to be great. Overall, every worker is very talented and great at the job. The vet is great at elaborating everything. It is an hour away, but definitely worth it. Thank you 🥰

The lobby was welcoming and inviting and I was put into a room very quickly by the vet staff. My baby was seen by Dr. Durr for a skin infection. He was very thorough with his exam. The vet assistant kept my baby calm throughout the exam. I will definitely be returning to this location for care. Thank you shelter island!

We brought our elderly cat here who has anxiety when leaving the house. We needed some bloodwork done as well as a routine check up. Upon arriving, a nice assistant escorted us to the waiting room where he performed some basic tests without issue. He said he would tell the doctor we’re ready and left the room. Shortly upon leaving, we heard commotion out in the hallway. He was being reamed by the doctor for something or the other. It was very unprofessional, since we could hear their whole conversation. The doctor seemed agitated and unfair towards the assistant. She then enters the room and introduces herself. The doctor seemed okay at first. For taking blood, Simba had to be taken into another room where we could not monitor his wellbeing. Moments later we could hear him screaming bloo
