Dr Unay is very passionate and he cares for the animals he takes care of. My family recently had to put our dog Fendi down due to an illness and Dr Unay and staff was very supportive and helpful to us during the rough time. Great animal hospital. I highly recommend Dr Unay for all your pet needs.

First off I want to say that Dr. Unay and staff are nice and pleasant, but that is not to say that I felt an injusticed was done to my 8 yr old dog Gizmo. I took him in for what I thought was an ear mite infestation. The doctor did perform a checkup and an ear evaluation that included a camera in my dogs ear. It wasn't ear mites but an ear infection. So far so good, I now knew what my little guy was suffering. Now the Bad. The nurse immediately took out a calculator and the fun begins. So far I'm in for $139 dollars for vist and exam. Tgen they start with the calculations. Overnight stay, blood test pain meds, cleaning etc. and also a scare that my Gizmo could pass away. In total they said it would run approximately $852 to cure my dogs ear infection. This was complete Robbery. I proceeded to get a second opinion and took him to another Vet. They gave him a checkup and told me he had an ear infection and they gave me antibiotics in Amoxicillin. It's been 5 days and my dogs ear infection is almost completely gone and I still have 3 days of medicine left to give him. $65 dollars for the visit and $25 for the meds. Be careful with this place. This is an updateate on my last review. My dog Gizmo has recovered fully from the anti biotics the other vet prescribed us. It's a shame that you guys would try and steal money from good people. Rather than help my poor dog you try to take us for all that money. You knew perfectly that antibiotics would work for a simple ear infection and telling us he needed to be admitted and all the extra cost was just plain robbery. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

We had a terrific experience with Dr. Unay and the rest of the staff at Clifton dog and cat. Our dog had some skin allergy concerns and they patched him right up! Their service is affordable and they’re very efficient so our dog was under very little stress during the appointment.

Dr Unay has been the family vet for all our pets since I was a child. He and his staff are very caring & treat your babies like they are part of his family too. I love Dr Unay & Sandy!
