We really love Suburban Animal Hospital. Their vets (especially Dr. Kalinsky!!) are super friendly and dedicated. They love animals and are always so sweet and gentle with our 85 lb lab who acts like a scared little baby every time we go in ;) They've treated her well for going on 10 years now, and we're very happy with them. I didn't give them 5 stars because I think their prices are sometimes significantly higher than other vets in the area. Then again, we're really happy with the care they provide, so we keep going b... read more

The entire staff were as helpful and as sensitive as we could have hoped for when our elderly and ill dog reached the end of her days recently. Our famly is very grateful for the care and concern our pet received and for the kindness showed our family during this crucible for us.

This animal hospital is great! I have a 16-month chocolate lab named, Cady, and have been going to Suburban Animal Hospital since I got her at 9 weeks. I was referred to Dr. Schraeder by two dog owners that I trust, and I am so glad they did. I'm surprised by the negative reviews of the front desk staff -- this is not my experience at all. Everyone has been wonderful. Whenever I call to make an appointment or ask a question, everyone is polite and professional. And, when Cady and I walk through the door, we are greet... read more

I came to this vet at the recommendation of a coworker, and I'm glad I did. My previous vet left the last clinic I frequented, and the other folks there just didn't meet my standards. My dog is very friendly and social, so if he doesn't like someone, there's a problem. We saw Dr. Klinsky there (I may be spelling her name wrong) and she was great. My dog liked her, she was very warm and sweet to him. I like it when a vet bothers to make a connection with my pet- it's not just a business transaction. I think you need a ... read more

I've been taking my adopted dog to Suburban for a little over a year. They were able to get me in within minutes of calling for an appointment (I live around the corner). I have found their front desk staff helpful and professional. Even one Saturday morning when I had to get a prescription filled (in NJ), the front desk helped me with last minute questions the pharmacist had. I have never had a problem with misdiagnoses and when my dog had to be hospitalized for 2 nights the vets called me several times a day, and espec... read more

We have taken our cat to Suburban ever since he was a kitten. We've seen a few vets there but our favorite is Dr. Kalinsky. Dr. Kalinsky is VERY good with cats. She knows how to approach, handle, and talk to a cat who is scared and/or sick. She helped us discover that a bladder infection was the cause of him peeing outside of the litterbox, and gave us all of the advice and medicine we needed to fix him up. (BTW, if you have a cat who needs medication.. always ask if there is a liquid form available... MUCH EASIER than t... read more

It scares me that this place has so many negative reviews, in fact, after 8 years of taking my dog here I was getting ready to switch vets b/c of all the negativity. My dog then got really really sick and I couldn't get in to the new vet so we went here. They treated her so well, were quick to diagnose her, were very responsive to my questions and were all around professional in nursing my extremely sick dog back to health. Prior to this I had never had a bad experience, but there were never any major issues to make them s... read more

I really love and trust this vet. This office is certainly not the most affordable place in town, but it is certainly a place a feel comfortable taking my pet. If you are up front with the staff about what you expect price-wise they will totally work with you. As a rather new pet owner I call the vet all the time for advice and they could not be nicer about it. I always get a response that same day no matter what. You can always call and get an appointment same day as well which is nice. T he hours are perfect for a worki... read more

I want to make 4 points: First, I think the front office staff has gotten much better, probably taking these reviews to heart. In the past they often seemed more interested in talking to each other than in focusing their attention on the client. But it's better now. Second, Dr. Schrader is fantastic. He can't be God, but he always takes the time to give good explanations, and offer his best counsel, with complete compassion, and obvious passion for his profession. We have always liked the associates he has hired too. Thir... read more
