My husband just called and was inquiring about my dog who is really sick and may need to be put down and instead of the person who answered the phone being empathetic and understanding made my husband feel like the worst human in the world for even calling, as if we were a bother to her. Not understanding that this phone call is extremely difficult for us as she is OUR family. Needless to say we are exploring other options because of the lack of empathy.

This is the best animal hospital. Dr.Motler is amazing. She runs a very busy practice and yet when it's your turn, you have her undivided attention. Dr.Motler is 100% present, and I so appreciate it.Take a look next time you are anywhere else...watch how distracted people get.then you will truly appreciate Pleasant Valley animal hospital., next time..

Worst service ever. They need to learn how to treat their customers the right way. Absolutely obnoxious front desk lady. Do not go here. Atleast be nice to people.

Dr. Motler is a dynamo. She really cares deeply for your animals. I have been a long time client with my dog. We recently had an emergency where my dog got bit. Dr. Motler got us in quickly and provided top notch service. She is fantastic!!!

STAY AWAY!!! UNLESS you have infinite money and time to spend. Went to get my dog laser treatment ($45) and she insisted on tons of tests and having them "read" by "expert" vets at huge costs to me. Not to mention my poor husband spent neatly 6 hours there until I relieved him, only for me to spend another 5 hours there!!!! When i got there the vet commented that my husband was on his cell most of the time he was there!!!! As if she was appalled at it!!!! She was not at all kind or compassionate in explaining all the things done to my dog either, and when i asked about the tests and experts, answered me as if i was not entitled to any answers, as if i was bothering her for explanations. All this totalled $2,500!!! Again, the laser treatment, which is what we went for, was $45. Since you need to do a series of them we agreed to go back, only to have an 11:30 appointment and then wait over an hour to be called in. I left after an hour and when they called told them I was going elsewhere. Now I wait for all the test results to send to another much more professional vet... DO NOT RECOMMEND.
