Dr Astarbi was my vet for over 10 years. I had four dogs at one time and he took care of all of them. Of the 4 , two were put to sleep comfortably in my house surrounded by those who loved them. He is very professional, always gave me a call back and a lot of advice over the phone. I had one dog with Addisons disease. He took care of Bella until she passed away at a ripe old age of 15, usually adisonian dogs don’t live that long. She didn’t have many episodes but when she did Dr Astarbi helped her get back on track. I miss my girl Bella and my boy Giacomo so much. I moved to Florida and he sent me my dogs records. I miss him and Steve. I cannot find and caring vets here, what a shame. Dr Asarbi is very down to earth ,funny, personable and honest and always gave me good advice. I would get my dogs teeth cleaned every year with dr astarbi. Not one problem at all. I wish I could find someone here on the same caliber but I cannot. Dr Astarbi is highly recommended, you won’t regret having him as your long term vet. I hope you are going well, trinket and pia say hello!

Dr. Astarbi is the best veterinarian out there. I’ve had 4 pets treated by him thus far and each one he treats with such love and care. He is an animal lover at heart and his care for my pets have shown that. He only ever wants to help animals and would never treat your pets like they have done at previous animal hospitals I have visited. As long as he is around, he is the only vet I would ever use.

Dr. Astarbi is a great veterinarian. He is knowledgeable, reasonable, affordable, very patient with nervous animals, at the convenience of your own home, so that your pet doesn't feel even more anxious in the clinic. Doctor Pete has everything needed in the mobile van, including supplies and medications, the tests are done on the spot. Convenient payment options. The doctor follows up with phone calls and emails. We've been with this vet for almost 6 years and there was never any concerns or complains. Highly recommend!

The best! A life savor for our very large dog who is unable to get into a car to make it to the traditional vet. Very knowledgeable, reasonable, and affordable. Wish we knew about Dr. Astarbi sooner!

Dr Astarbi is great! He has the best attitude and really knows his stuff. My 2 cats Patrick and Poe were so good because they were in their own home. It made such a huge difference that I wanted to hug him! His assistant Danielle was super great too! What a wonderful experience. We have found our new vet! 👍
