Woods Avenue Animal Clinic

Wonderful, Kind, and Caring Neighborhood Vet! 10 STARS!! I called Dr. Gower's office on a Saturday around noon, feeling pretty desperate as I had just driven out of the city having arrived in Long Island for what I had hoped would be about week. My 10month old puppy was diagnosed with Kennel Cough and I wanted her to have a healthy place to recover. With the anxiety of packing what we needed for a week, I somehow left the most important thing! the bag with her antibiotics in my apt in the city. Dr. Gower was so kind to take us - literally last minute on a Saturday afternoon as they close at 1pm, and see Tulip and treat her. I had never spoken with him or met him before this. He also called first thing on Monday morning to check on how she was doing. I am so grateful that I now have a vet I can trust and rely for Tulip's health out on here on Long Island, especially with Dr. Gower's experience and kindness. I highly recommend Dr. Gower if you need a vet in the area, if you are a new client or an old one! He's gold!

So kind and made us feel very comfortable. He went above and beyond to care for our pups Jade and Thor. They even received stickers on their charts for being so good! Can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Dr. Gower! Joaquin & Jazmine Arias

I can’t give zero stars so I will go with One what they did to my dog when I brought him there after his heart attack was disgusting. He was so busy with his upstairs client. He left me sitting there downstairs in the basement with my dog ready to pass and nothing to help him he was trying to get up. I was hysterical crying to top it all off the stupid receptionist comes down the stairs and wants the money from me here I am for my dog and crying and she’s worried about the stupid money. I have to pass her anyway to get out of the place. I will never go back there. He ripped off my boyfriend who is a contractor as well. He decided he wasn’t paying any more money because he felt that job was too much after he signed a contract for it, not to mention he’s been thrown out of science, diet or pet for taking food and illegally selling Not to mention, my friend was in a jam and wanted to get rabies shots for his dogs. He decided that they needed complete bloodwork and everything charged him over $1200 to get three dog shots. It was ridiculous. apparently somebody else had bad experiences. There’s post is all over OCEANSIDE to beware.

Dr. Gower is very shady. You will get charged a different price each time for the same services and he will constantly try to get you to pay for more services. He gave my dog a treatment that I specifically told him I didn’t want and then charged me for it. After I disputed the charge he doubled down. Stay away from this place!!

Deserves zero stars. My cat was in bad shape. Doc tries to extract some urine from him, cat dies. Since he drew the blood already....he "had" to send it off. Ridiculous. 900 dollar bill and a dead cat. Price gouger, lousy vet. One of my neighbors just had a lousy experience with this clown.
