It's better than Mount Saini for humans. The quality of the facility and staff was that of a great hospital. My dog needed an MRI and Spinal tap. They did the best they could to make the bill as least painful as possible. It's not cheap but you'll also get what you pay for. They found the right medication combination to keep my dogs epilepsy down considerably. You won't go wrong.

Rocky, our beloved Standard Poodle was seen by his vet numerous times. He was having difficulty standing and was in intense pain. She said she could do no more for him and he needed a Neurological consult. He had his MRI the following day showing acute disc herniation C5-C6 and C7. Without surgery he would become paralyzed and ultimately euthanized. The surgery was done the same day as the MRI. Rocky's team was comprised of Neurologist, Dr. Mittleman and Dr. Catherine Loughin was his Surgeon. To put it simply, Dr. Loughin s... read more

We had an amazing experience with the staff. Our boy was in distress and our vet found a tumor on his spleen. We went right to Long Island Veterinary Specialists and they took him right in. They advised they would be able to remove the spleen and tumor and waited till they could stabilize him. The doctors were very patient and explained everything to us. They kept us in the loop daily on his progress and after a few days we brought him home. He's an almost 13 year Frenchie and this could have definitely ended his life if he ... read more

LIVS has been a godsend for us and our 3 year-old Labradoodle. Our dog was having trouble eating and drinking, and then he came down with severe pneumonia. Dr. Holdsworth went above and beyond to diagnose, treat, and care for our dog, including figuring out his specialized diet and keeping him in the hospital until he was fully recovered from his tricky surgery. The whole team (Lauren, Teresalyn, the ER docs, the reception staff, and many others) make our dog feel very special and loved each time we visit. Thank you!!!!

Dr. Marino, Dr. Tumulty, and all the stuff who took care of my Frenchie were great. All my questions and concerns were addressed and his BOAS surgery and revovery went great. Thank you!
My kitty was not doing well and took a turn for the worse on a Sunday and my veterinarian office was closed. Rather than wait until Monday I took her here. Dr Adrianna Diaz examined her and went over her findings with me and she was very compassionate as I had to make a tough decision which I knew was coming. She and her assistant walked me through each stage of the process and they were very patient and kind. After 14 years of friendship my little buddy Penelope passed peacefully. Not a great experience to go through but th... read more
Dr. Selmer and this team comprised of Debra and Jen are beyond amazing. They gave oustanding compassionate and loving care to both my dogs, Colin and Henry. Dr. Selmer extended the quality of their life by years. When we first came to LIVS and met Dr. Selmer both dogs had issues walking and pain. Through a thorough exam and careful diagnosis we had a care plan in place that enabled my boys to live to 13 and 16 which is terrific. Dr. Selmer and his team are a true asset to Long Island Veterinary Specialists. I am so thankful ... read more
I brought my 8+ year old lab mix to LIVS after her vet recommended that she be evaluated by a specialist to determine why her gait had changed. She was evaluated by Dr Larkin and Dr Roynard, who patiently explained the potential causes and our treatment options. I ultimately decided to go with a referral to Dr Selmer for integrative care. With Dr Selmer, she has been treated with acupuncture, cold laser, and chiropractic care. Combined with lifestyle modifications he recommended, these treatments have helped improve her gait... read more
My family has been coming to LIVS since before I could remember, the staff has always been absolutely amazing! They helped me threw some of my hardest moments including saying goodbye to our furry friend. Everything they do is so gentle and kind, we have seen pretty much every major department from Ophthalmology and surgery down to the emergency department and we have never been disappointed!
