Clinton Hill Animal Clinic

They took very good care of my dog. They will fight for your pet and male sure that they are comfortable. Before my dog passed away they treated her very well and kind. When other clinics told me to put my dog down CHAC gave me a few more months with her and did their best to care for her. I highly recommend this place. They will treat your pet like family

The doctor and staff here so so knowledgeable and personable. They really take care in explaining care for your pet. I could not be happier! 10/10 highly recommend.

It has been 4+ years since my appointment here, and I keep thinking I should give myself time to calm down before I write a review. But thinking back on the absolutely awful experience still drives me mad to this day. Just trust that the poor reviews are not exaggerating. They mishandled my cat, were unbelievably rude, and pushed me to pay before they had even finished. The appointment took hours, and yet the only thing they accomplished was giving a vaccine. I had to turn around and make another appointment elsewhere, to finish getting my cat the treatment he needed. Looking at the years and years of poor reviews, it is clear that there is no investment in changing.

The care here is very thorough and professional but as a result the exams take a very long time and you are not even allowed to drink water while you wait with your animal in the exam rooms. However, the main issue i have is that they do not follow a policy of giving you an estimate prior to having procedures/tests/exams done or asking for approval of pricing before anything is done, which has always been the case any other vet i have been to. It has caused me financial hardship the last few times i visited as i was not made aware how much procedures/visit fees would cost beforehand and could not budget accordingly or approve only procedures i could afford. Because pricing is not discussed beforehand, the charges seem inconsistent to me as i have a limited understanding when i cannot see the breakdown. For example, i am not always charged an exam fee. For my last visit i asked on the phone beforehand for an estimate and was told about 30 dollars for vaccinations, however they did not say that it would be 30 dollars /per/ shot or include other fees in that estimate or the fact that the doctor wanted bloodwork done that day which i did not know about so i spent about $800 total. This location is considerably more expensive in pricing than any other vets i have been to in either brooklyn or elsewhere (even the emergency vet) and i just camt afford to keep coming here. I love my animal and am doing my best to get great care for them but this wont be the place for us anymore.

Their system is a little old school and wait times can be a lot but I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else. Dr. Dentler caught a serious heart issue that my 10yr old Maltese/chihuahua has that other vets have completely passed over because Dr. D took more time to listen to her heart than other vets usually do during routine check ups. They really do care and take their time here. I haven’t found any other vets around here that seem like they really care the way Dr. Dentler and the staff at CHAC do.
