    After my vet had moved upstate, we needed to find a new vet, and we found Aldrich which was very close to my home. Conan was treated there with much care until his end by Dr. Allison Howard who was very good & did everything she could to help him. I am forever thankful for her & her team. There compassion after Conan died was amazing. When I get another pet again, they will be the first place I take them to, not just because they are very local, but also how they were with Conan. Thank you again for what you did for Conan a year ago.

    My puppy Buddy Boston Terrier needed pre neutering exam his Vet was to far was in St James I live Babylon. The lady on the phone was just so helpful gave me a 10:30 apt. was called in right at 10:30. The Tech who took his vital sign weighted him was Great. Dr. Tricia La Sala was great she saw Buddy was nervous so she took him off table and she got on the floor with him and was playing with him he became himself licking her. She explained every thing to me and now scheduled to have his neutering done on Oct. I feel I found the right Vet for my dog. The place was very clean

    “I am EXTREMELY disappointed with this hospital. My dog has been a patient of Dr. Howard for almost 10 years. I followed her from a practice in Farmingdale, to Glen Cove and then Aldrich. Yesterday, my dog vomited and is very listless. Even though Aldrich is open until 8, they refused to see my dog or even have Dr. Howard speak with me. It’s heartbreaking to not be able to get help from your doctor when I was pleading with them that I have an emergency.” However, I am adding the following update: I am changing the star rating because Dr. Lasala (who hadn’t seen my pet previously) did call me back, and was very compassionate and understanding. I lost my beloved pet, but Dr. Lasala had tremendous empathy for us at such a difficult time. I am still upset that I could not speak to the veterinarian I used for so many years when we were in a desperate situation, but because of Dr. Lasala, I feel I could not leave it as it was. If I am blessed to have a pet again, I would let Dr. Lasala be his veterinarian.

    Absolutely loved the vet, the office staff not so much. I'm a seventy-year-old senior citizen and this is the first time I've never been getting it given a senior citizen discount. Unfortunately my dogs diagnosis is pancreatitis and the food is a bit on the expensive side. It snowed today but the policy at Aldrich is that you cannot get your prescription dog food forwarded to chewy. I just spent $3,200 there in less than a week on my Yorkie, but no I have to go in and get a prescription so I could save a few Pennies on her dog food. Also, by the mid-to-late hours of the day the animal hospital has a terrible smell you would think at least they'd be cleaning that so that it wouldn't nauseate people. Again the females that is wonderful I truly felt she cared for my fur baby, but once I get the prescription and my dog's records I will not be going there again

    Have been coming to Aldrich since we adopted our current dog 4 years ago. All of the staff is wonderful and the have a very efficient appointment and reminder system.

  • 5/5 Debbie E. 2 years ago on Google
    From the moment I called the hospital to make an appointment, I knew I was in good hands. The entire staff is so caring and attentive, including the ladies who answer the phone. Paige was great! She was so patient and she went out of her way to answer all my questions. She went above and beyond to help me. I have never been to a veterinarian office that was so thorough and caring. Dr. LaSala was amazing! She addressed all my concerns and even pointed out other things that could have turned into bigger issues. She is such a knowledgeable and genuinely caring doctor. I left there knowing I had found a permanent vet for my dog, Max. Thank you to the ENTIRE STAFF of Aldrich Animal Hospital! ❤️🐾

    Have been coming to this office for years. Always took great care of all my pets!! Everyone from the front desk, to the techs, and all the Dr’s are outstanding!!

  • 5/5 Hannah D. 7 months ago on Google
    Dr Howard, the techs and receptionists at Aldrich are an incredible team. While it might be more costly than other offices in the area it is 110% worth it. Each appointment they ask for updates and based on the quality of questions I know the records they keep are detailed. My dogs are comfortable with the technicians handling them, Aldrich moves at the pace of your pet so they aren't scared. They are able to accommodate someone with a leash reactive dog very well. One of the most stressful things when moving cross country is finding trusted vet care, I have peace of mind that my senior dogs are in great hands as we embark on the golden years. - ps they have snacks in the waiting room. Real snacks!!

    Make sure to enroll in the VCA care club plan otherwise the vets visits cost over $100. It’s nice and clean, the waiting room is spacious and there’s even a washroom for visitors to use. The exam rooms are on the inside, there’s two seats and a countertop where the pet is examined. I’m not too sure if they charge Steep prices as it’s the only vet I’ve ever been to, but the care club plan is useful to have as they also install a microchip for your pet and it includes their vaccinations as well.

    Pet owners beware! Do not bring your pet to Aldrich Animal Hospital in West Babylon. I was new to the West Babylon area and based on the reviews that I read about this hospital, I brought my cat there to have him treated for chronic rhinitis, the treatment for which is an injection of Covenia. While examining my cat, the vet said that he needed dental work, and after examining his hips, said he had arthritis and quoted me about $3,000.00 for the work she recommended my cat have. The vet tech told me to wait in the waiting room while he took him for his injection. Several days later, my cat was no better, which is extremely suspect since he responds to the Covenia quickly. I began to wonder if in fact, he was even given the shot of Covenia. I decided to take my cat to another local vet to be checked, and they gave him a shot of Covenia. The new vet told me that his teeth were fine and saw no evidence of arthritis in his hips, and two days later, his symptoms resolved. I waited to write this review until I was certain that my cat never received the antibiotic that I was told he had received at Aldrich Animal Hospital. I feel it is my duty to warn other pet owners to steer clear of this veterinary hospital, as they are more concerned about their bottom line than your pet’s health and well-being. I know that most pet owners like me will spend any amount of money when their pet needs medical care. Aldrich Animal Hospital fabricated medical issues that my pet didn’t have to convince me to spend thousands of dollars and failed to treat him for the issue he did have. I’m writing to alert every pet owner whose pet may need medical care, to steer clear of Aldrich Animal Hospital because their focus is on their bottom line, and not the health of your pet!

    Have been using Aldrich Animal Hospital since I got my dog in 2014 and their facility and staff have been absolutely fantastic. It always looks like it was just cleaned. The staff at the front are super friendly and knowledgeable and always greet you with a smile. I especially want to mention Dr. LaSala for the many times she has seen Nikki-Jo when I had to bring her in with a health problem and Dr. LaSala treated and cared about her as she would her own pets. Nikki-Jo always recovered from her problem every time she was taken care of by the great staff of Aldrich Animal Hospital.

    Very pleased with this place. I have a nervous dog, they accommodated me , to park on the side and the tech came out to my car to help bring my dog in. The vet was really good and so nice. This was my first time there, and I was nervous about it,I am very glad I picked this location.

  • 5/5 Scott A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has been really great to my dog. Every time he has been sick, they have figured out a way to be able to see him. They always remember him, and so far, they have taken great care of him. Everybody is really friendly! The hours are also great, which is definitely an added plus when you work a set schedule.

  • 5/5 Joe A. 1 year ago on Google
    We rescued (or maybe she rescued us) a dog that was obviously abused. She gets extremely nervous and will yelp if you get near her tail end. We wanted to rule out any possible damage. Dr. Howard was extremely calming and thorough with Rosie. She did not make a peep. Thankfully Dr. Howard did not find anything physically. So we will just have to make sure that Rosie knows she is safe with us and hopefully she'll come out of her PTSD.

  • 5/5 Twanisha W. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasant staff. They love what they do and my Baby. He gets so excited as soon as I pull in parking lot. Dr. LaSala and staff have taken care of Baby for about 6 1/2yrs. Very grateful for Aldrich Animal Hospital. Thank you for your love and care of Baby!!!

  • 5/5 Brianna O. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr Lasala was so pleasant to work with and answered all of my questions thoroughly. her and her employees took amazing care of my dog and took care of her like she was their own. You always want your pets to be in the best hands, which is why I HIGHLY recommend Dr Lasala and her staff.

  • 5/5 L L. 1 year ago on Google
    Without even being a patient before, they worked with my family so patiently and thoughtfully when our cat had an emergency. They helped us make the best/hardest choice, but made the experience as easy as they could. They gave us a very sweet keepsake box before we left, and even sent us a card afterwards. Everyone we met there is incredibly kind.

    Thank you so much for taking care of my Edward. Your staff is so nice and compassionate. I recently lost my job and they worked with me on pricing and i am so grateful for this ... Dr. Lasala is amazing. My Edward is on the mend thanks to the great care he was given. This cat Mom is so happy .

  • 5/5 cynthia V. 1 year ago on Google
    I can not say enough how wonderful the Aldrich doctors and staff are! For the last two years, the Aldrich family has provided my family's dogs with so much love and care. Dr. LaSala is exceptionally loving and caring and treats our dogs like her own! Each visit, she displays so much warmth. She is highly personable and professional and has never left a question unanswered. She also always provides us with much educational information to take with us to best support our dogs. She recently treated our litter of 10! And they loved her as much as we do! I highly recommend taking your pet to Aldrich and scheduling an appointment to see Dr. LaSala.

    I have been going to this vet for years and have always received great treatment for my animals. They are compassionate to the animals and take the time to evaluate their patients. The doctors and staff are very kind.

  • 5/5 Tahoora T. 3 years ago on Google
    We just adopted our new dog and we had to find a vet for her. We really got lucky finding dr. Lasala. She has been amazing with our dog and she keeps us inform of everything. She goes above and beyond to make sure our little pepper is happy and taken care of! The staff are very helpful and respectful. Pepper loves the vet tech. Having all of her records and reminders on the app is also a bonus!

  • 5/5 danielle t. 2 years ago on Google
    The best veterinary practice around Dr Lasala, Dr Howard, the best tech out there Kelly and the rest of the Aldrich team put the pets first and really go above and beyond to make sure your animal children are well taken care of. I highly recommend everyone take their fur babies to Aldrich.
