Christmas at the animal hospital... 1/7/2007

I was very pleased when I bought my cat to All Creatures when she was in trouble; she is a difficult, over-sized animal and the staff took great care of her. She stayed in the hospital over Christmas and I was glad she was there with such a professional staff. They welcomed and encouraged visits with my pet. She is doing great now and I was really surprised that the bill for charges was so reasonable. more

All Creatures Veterinary Clnc 8/1/2006

I don't know what the other people are talking about, but I found this clinic to be very friendly and professional. I would recommend this to anyone. And they were not expensive. more

There when I need them 7/25/2006

I have been taking my animals to Dr Gelfand and his staff for over 15 years. Now that I live in Suffolk County I still drive 45 minutes back there to bring my animals for care. 2 situations come to mind - first, when my dog had puppies and wasn't acting right the next evening at 8:30 pm, I called and they told me to come right in - even though they were closing and I was 45 minutes away! They waited for me and took care of my dog and all of her babies. Just last night I was there with one of my dogs who need an x-ray and was put under anesthesia. I saw him in the back room as he was waking up. He was placed on a towel and two techs were sitting with him and petting him as he woke up. I was so pleased to see that they didn't just throw him in a cage to wake up confused all by himself. As far as prices, all vets are expensive. All Creatures gives me a 10% discount because I bring them multiple pets. They are also open on Sundays. Thanks All Creatures! more

All Creatures Fails On All Counts 1/22/2006

All Creatures got one last chance from me, and blew it. When first moving to Long Beach, NY, about 10 years ago, they were highly recommended for my Golden Retriever, and in the beginning I was pleased, but over the years grew dissatisfied with the service, whether it was an increasingly "we're doing you a favor, but we're sure put out about it" attitude at the counter to the high speed "I've got better places to be" attitude of the doctor. I had even stopped going there except for vaccinations (to keep medical records simple and in one place), choosing to board elsewhere. I'm not really sure what they do with the dogs under their care, but the major reason (besides the fact they charge an attrociously high fee) I stopped boarding witht them was my dog's reaction as soon as we'd get out of the car: she would try to climb back into the car, or if that didn't work, she'd try crawling under it, or do anything to avoid going through their door. Does this sound like a good place to take you more

Review of All Creatures 11/25/2005

This veterinary hospital has state of the art equipment as well as a pharmacy. The doctors are very knowledgable and most are quite friendly, especially Dr. gelfand. The prices are comparable to most veterinary hospitals & they take credit cards, which is a big plus. They are also open 7 days a week for those that work, as well as nights. more

All Creatures Are Not Treated Equally 5/8/2005

All Creatures - a local animal hospital in Long Beach, USED to be the best place to take your pets. But that was before they rebuilt the place and got arrogant. I brought my childhood dog there for years, but realized, as an adult, that the employees and the doctors, are more interested in making money than they are in caring for animals. I wouldn't bring my pets there if they were the only vets on Long Island. They're extremely over-priced. They treat their patients (and their owners) with little to no respect, and the doctors do not seem as though they entered the profession because they loved animals. It's more like they entered the profession because they love money. I have experienced and heard horror stories about this place. I drive 25 minutes north to see a vet; All Creatures is literally up the block from my home. Find other recommendations; ask your neighbors; the only reason people continue to use All Creatures is because it's right here in the West End. PROS: They re more
