I had a positive experience and recommend this modern, clean, well staffed facility. Special recognition to Donna and Kerri. Both were kind, professional and compassionate. Thank you. My pet had an eyelid bulge removed successfully. Day before photo and after the procedure. But back to normal today after the sedative wore off.

I cannot say enough good things about Long Island Veterinary Specialists, and especially, Dr. Domenic Marino. My dog, Whiskey (46 lbs), had dislocated his hip and my regular vet said he would either need a FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) or a THR (Total Hip Replacement). He advised that I set up a consult with an orthopedic surgeon. My first consult was with a dr (not at LIVS) who only performed FHOs. After that first consult, I felt sure that the FHO was the way I should go, as that dr had led me to believe that the risks were greater with a THR. She also suggested that at my dog’s age (3 years old), she would worry that he might need another THR in his lifetime. In addition, a vet who has a physical therapy practice had told me that the recovery period for a THR is very difficult and painful. I decided to keep my consult appointment with Dr. Marino at LIVS anyway, even though I was sure that nothing would change my mind. Well, I was wrong and I am SO glad that I investigated both surgery options. Dr. Marino was so wonderful in my consult. I came prepared with literally over 30 questions about the THR procedure including what are the risks, what are the statistics about each risk type, what action is taken if one of the risks occurs, how does recovery compare between THR and FHO, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each surgery, how does physical therapy compare, how many THRs has he done and what is the success rate, etc. I had so many questions that I doubted that Dr. Marino would have the time and patience to answer all my questions, but instead he said “That’s what I’m here for.” and he answered every question I had. I left the consult absolutely knowing that I was going to bring Whiskey to have the THR by Dr. Marino. Dr. Marino allayed my fears that were planted by the dr from my first FHO consult at the other vet hospital. He said that that every Board-certified surgeon knows that hip replacements last the lifetime of the dog. In the over 2000 THRs he did, he never had a dog return for a 2nd hip replacement over the dog’s lifetime. He also said that the recovery is actually easier with a THR as compared to FHO and he said Whiskey would be comfortable rather than in great pain. Also, although I probably would have had to bring my dog for PT to a physical therapy facility had I gone with the FHO option, Dr. Marino said the PT after his THR should be leash-walks by me, increasing the length of walk over a period of time. (Taking him in and out of a car could even be risky following a THR surgery and PT with leash-walks is all that would be needed. In contrast, the best-case scenario after an FHO depends on PT at a facility based on research I had done. ) With those two worries out of my mind (i.e. a 2nd THR being needed and a very difficult recovery) and trusting my gut instinct, it made sense for me to choose the THR option, after which he said my dog would be able to rough-house with my other two dogs and run with no limitations after 4 months. Every single thing he said turned out to be true. I am so happy I made the decision to have a THR, since my dog is way too young and energetic a dog to have a limited range of motion that even the most successful FHO surgery would produce (at best, 70% range of motion, as opposed to 100% range of motion with a THR). The cost difference between a THR and an FHO surgery was about $3000. (However, since an FHO surgery probably would have required months of PT at a facility, the cost difference might be closer to $2000 or less. ) Thank God, I was able to afford this and that I was able to make the best decision for my dog. After only 4 months following surgery, Whiskey was running around the yard full speed having a ball with my other two dogs, rough-housing and just being the happiest dog! It is not even possible to tell he had a hip replacement. I also want to commend all of the staff at the front desk, the assistants, everyone, who I interacted with. Everyone was polite, professional and caring. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Marino!!!

The whole experience was BEYOND amazing. I received a quote of 19 000 for surgery in NYC for my dogs fracture. LIVS saved me 70 percent and the care was amazing . Everyone here loved your pet. I am so happy to have found them! I took an uber out as I’m not a driver and let me tell you this was so worth it!

I was very impressed with LI veterinary, we were there Sunday, February 9th. The moment I entered the door, I was greeted by a friendly, cheerful front desk girl. My husband and I were brought in to speak to a vet tech, and then Dr Hanovic. He explained my dogs issue completely and with compassion. We never felt rushed, and he answered all of our questions. We are very grateful for the wonderful staff. Thankfully, our dog is doing well !

I’ve had nothing but great experiences here so far, it’s not my first or my last time coming here . I have two King Charles cavaliers and I promise you that they treat my dogs like if it was their dog . Nothing but 10/10 service , follow up, attention to details , I can call them as many times as I want to if I have questions about any recent visits I’ve had . My dog butters had surgery and few weeks ago on his leg and I had two follow ups appointments and again they treated him like gold . Me too but more importantly butters . I appreciate them for their commitment to us dog and animals owners . My dogs and I are all smiles when we leave the vet here in Long Island . Photos too prove it .
