Port Washington Animal Hospital

5 months ago my family brought my cat into Dr. E, because his eye was bulging out of his head. On the spot he told us it was cancer and advised putting my cat down within week, and offered to do it then and there. I asked if he could do any tests for an infection, even just draw labs for a white count, since this swelling literally started the day before. He insisted it was cancer, and that I should “do something about it before his eye bursts or falls out.” He said he couldn’t assess my cats mouth since my cat “could bite him,” which just felt so off putting. It felt like he didn’t want to do a full assessment. My cat is EXTREMELY friendly, (like, purrs and licks the vet friendly) and is missing half of his teeth. I got a second opinion elsewhere, the second vet actually looked into my cat’s mouth (like one would expect the vet to), and felt my cat’s head. He saw inflammation and felt fluid. It was pus from a retrobulbar abscess. He drained it (for only $80,) put my cat on antibiotics, and my cat has made a full recovery. It was only an infection!!! I don’t normally leave negative reviews but I would hate for somebody else to receive a misdiagnosis and lose their best friend like I nearly did. He was simply, extremely negligent. And quite frankly, I get the impression that he just does not like cats. (I leave 2 stars because I have nothing negative to say about Dr. F, he’s always treated our dog wonderfully.)

This place needs an update yes sorry I know it's probably a family-owned and has been open for a while but every place needs some TLC I feel like I am walking into an old school Hospital maybe a little Renovations they had a lady there that kept the place very clean but I haven't seen her in a while I guess she got booted for being too clean

Mixed experiences here — easy to get into friendly staff, but Dr is very laissez faire in diagnosing / treating issues. Misdiagnosed a staph infection as “allergies” and had us pay for an allergy shot ($200) and then later found out from different vet was much more serious skin infection that required a long course of antibiotics. Also did not get liver values before putting my dog on rimadyl which is a big no no. Think probably fine for super minor things but have found a different vet.

Dr. Farmiloe and his staff are amazing! We've been clients for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Best pet care! Always attentive to our dog's needs. You can tell every professional in the place wants the best for our dog. Very confident we're getting the best care.
