Huntington Village Animal Hospital

This is by far the best animal hospital I have ever been to. I’d give this place 10 stars if I could! The office is clean and it is a modern, state of the art facility. I began coming here as soon as they opened and they always take fantastic care of my beabull, Bailey. Their entire staff are very professional, and always turn what can be a very stressful situation for my pup and I into a comfortable visit. Dr. Zeichner-Tamayo and her associates (whom I’ve all seen) are truly the best vets any pet owner could ever ask for. The vet techs Shannon and Jesse are always a pleasure to work with as well! They are all compassionate, caring, experienced and very accommodating. They listen to your concerns, answer all your questions and never make you feel like they’re in a rush to get you out. They are thorough in their diagnosis's and always make recommendations for the best care of your pet. I highly recommend this practice for your pet care and treatment. They continue to provide thorough and complete care for my dog year after year in a warm and friendly environment. Thank you so much! -Barbara

HORRIBLE. Too Many Reasons Why. Dr. Denise Zeichner-Tamayo deliberately did NOT humanely euthanize my dying cat, Dory. Unconscionable. 2) Instead Dr. Zeichner had my cat endure a slow death and CRUELLY gave my fragile weak cat a shameful steroid injection. Awful. A truly vicious EVIL way to treat a dying animal. Unacceptable. 3) Dr. Zeichner as a licensed vet was supposed to try to save my stroke/seizure stricken cat – and when that was not possible after IV hydration, then humanely euthanize Dory. 4) Denise Zeichner showed no remorse. After my beloved cat died, I said I regret not being able to bring her in 2 days earlier since Dr. took day off. Dr. Zeichner shook her head, smiled brightly and said “She would’ve never survived the steroid shot!” So in Dr. Zeichner’s glee, she let me know. Truly brutal and SADISTIC. After she said this, I assumed she didn’t give steroid to Dory, but when I checked invoice it incl. steroid. I emailed Dr. Zeichner as to why she did this. She never respond. 5) Dr. Zeichner betrayed the trust I placed in her as a veterinarian. 6) About 20 min. after Dory died, Dr. Zeichner smiled and said “Oh, well, maybe you’ll get another kitty from a shelter.” Rude and callous. It showed how little regard Dr. Zeichner had for my pet and myself the owner. 7) My cat was limp and fragile when I brought her in. When Dory couldn’t recover after IV hydration, Dr. Zeichner had a duty to explain and discuss humanely euthanizing my cat to relieve suffering. But Dr. Zeichner never did. 8) Instead, Dr. Zeichner forced my stretched out limp cat into a propped up position to DIE SLOWLY and STRUGGLE WITH A STEROID SHOT. 9) Dr. Zeichner's cruelty began two days earlier, when Dr. Zeichner deliberately did not treat my cat when she was due for her hydration as well as anti-vomiting injection, etc.. Dr. Zeichner suspiciously took the day off and next day her office was closed! 10) My cat’s condition deteriorated. Still Denise Zeichner wouldn’t come in to treat Dory nor refer my cat to another vet or the ER despite my distressed phone calls and emails to her on both days. VERY CRUEL. 11) Instead Dr. Zeichner did a 180 degree turn and told me not to worry about Dory’s vomiting b/c “she still retains some of nutrients”! 12) Next day Dr. Zeichner emailed harmful instruction to give baby food to my cat. When I fed my cat it, she painfully threw up because Dr. didn’t give the anti-vomiting injection. 12) Then Dr. Zeichner falsely assured me by email that my critical cat going 2 days without food (and vomiting) “will be fine”! She completely misled me. Dr. Zeichner had even said Dory was “critical” 3 weeks prior b/c she was rail thin, not retaining food, etc.. During the next 3 weeks, we paid Dr. $3000 to treat and do tests on Dory. 13) My cat’s condition ultimately remained poor and then declined w/o her anti-vomit injection and hydration by Dr. Zeichner. 14) By the 3rd day, Dory died in Huntington Village Animal Hospital and had to deal with a shameful steroid shot by Denise Zeichner. 15) Dr. Zeichner said my cat had suffered brain stroke(s) which had nothing to do with no food (and vomiting) for 2 days! But I researched that cats can suffer awful extracranial seizures due to vomiting, dehydration which creates too much sodium in blood. These were symptoms Dory had which Dr. Zeichner refused to treat in the final 2 days. 16) Dr. Zeichner never discussed humanely euthanizing my ailing cat at any point with me. So Wrong. 17) Instead, she misled and manipulated me in the end to hold out care for my cat until she..Dr. Zeichner could see Dory 2 days later when it was too late. Unacceptable. 18) When I was a client, Dr. Zeichner-Tamayo had a sign in lobby which gave 10% discount off a visit, provided the client gave her hospital a 5 Star Google review. This is unethical. It violates Google’s Review Policy as content that’s been incentivized by a business in exchange for a $ discount. She also had a family mbr post a 5 Star rating, this is a conflict of interest as reviews should be unbiased.
