St James Animal Hospital

We love doctor Star and his staff. They always make our pups feel welcome and special. Dr Star has been great working with our pup who has had multiple issues in his short 3 year life and working with his heart and internal medicine doctors. Anytime we go to a specialist appointment the office calls and checks on him to make sure he's OK.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT and SUPERB SERVICE BY REAL PROFESSIONALS with Many Years of experience. I've been going to the Hauppauge Animal Hospital as long as my parents have. Probably since they opened; maybe in the late '60s. I had my first visit at St. James Animal Hospital last week. It was a very, very important and emotional appointment. It was on Sept 1st, Friday evening when they were about to close & it was Labor Day weekend. I was really taking back that Noone was rushing to leave even though they closed. They treated me and my pet like 🪙 Gold. The office and examination rooms are So clean - I don't how that's even possible after being open all day. I was just Very impressed with all of the staff and the Veterinarians. Thank you for taking care of my sweet dog. 🐾🐾🐾♥️🤍💙 BTW I don't understand why somebody would give one star ⭐ I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, My first visit was amazing. So, No offense, but I'm thinking it's their problem. Seems like a lot of people don't have any appreciation for people that work hard and try to do the best at their jobs. Maybe that person is just a constant complainer and it shows. What do you expect? If it's really true what you say about them not responding, there must be a valid reason. Or Maybe 🤔 maybe that person shouldn't take their misery out on other people. My life isn't easy and I am often feeling misery. I definitely Do Not take it out with me or take it out on anyone that's providing a service to me. I had a horrible smoothie recently and I Wouldn't give them one star. And I was pretty upset. They had just opened and I saw how the new hires were struggling. There's no manager around. I'll either never go back or I will go back And mention it to them - and Give them a second shot. It's only fair...

Update: after seeing my review St James Animal Hospital decided it best not to reply, not to call or communicate in any way. Horrible business. Instead the gave me the finger by sending me copies of my pets records. I always find, if someone is too nice they are hiding another something. I found it! Look around first! After speaking to my pet insurance company, I got taken! Human Doctors can only charge charges so much. Veterinary can charge charges to whatever they want. This is what happened. After $1005 I figured my insurance would cover it so I didn’t care much. It ended up costing me $700. The insurance company has not changed their payout but the Vet massively increased their prices, that is the facts. I love my dog but other vets can do the same for much less. Again, look around, ask friends or spend money on ridiculous charges. My other two family members had the same experience here and have switched as well.

Dr. Star and his entire staff deserve all the praise in the world. We've been taking our dog here for almost 10 years and while our commute is long, we would never go anywhere else. Dr. Star is the most, caring, competent, and understanding doc we have ever met. He explains all his examinations/treatments and takes his time to answer all questions. He and his staff have responded to emergency calls, fixed multiple problems with pharmacies, and have even offered to stay late to accommodate us. (Oadie loves them too) Highly recommend St. James Animal Hospital for all your pet care needs!

Like going to see an old time country doctor. Caring compassionate staff and vet. So much happier here than at my last vet. Highly recommend.
