Don't go here if you love your pet! Dr Sebetic and his staff have no compassion and doesn't genuinely care about your pet, just the bill your visit will generate. He ALWAYS goes to the worst possible case instead of ruling at the simple causes so you are willing to spend whatever it takes to save your pet. Our miniature dachshund developed an eye infection that resembled conjunctivitis. We took him to Harlem Valley Animal Clinic on 12/27/22. Dr Sebetic told us that he thought he had a tumor behind his eye. We told him we thought that he had infected teeth. Dr Sebetic focused on a tumor and advised of the cost to do a biopsy. He prescribed 2 weeks of antibiotic tablets that didn't help at all. We brought him to the HV Animal Clinic two times in two weeks. I spoke to Dr Sebetic four times. This careless veterinarian was not treating him as an emergency patient. He said we were overreacting. We took him to another veterinary hospital 1/12/23. They treated him aggressively with an antibiotic shot. It was too late. The abscess broke that night,1/12/23 at 11pm, and caused him to have a stroke. We had an hour drive to an emergency vet in Brewster. Our dog went through so much. It was such a traumatic end of life. He deserved better. He passed away from what was, most likely, curable. Dr Sebetic basically went off his own diagnosis not a medical one, and didn't treat our 14 year dog for what was wrong. It cost our dog's life. I wouldn't bring a gold fish to this veterinarian.
*Courtney is heartless. After knowing my dog passed away 3 days ago under their care, she only had nasty comments to say. Her customer service skills are that of a grave digger.

They really go above and beyond to make me feel special. I've never been anywhere that seems to care more about their clients than here. I was so impressed with the progress I was able to make after visiting them. All my questions were answered, and I feel a lot more confident and hopeful about the future.. It is a relief to know that I can count on them to always be there for me when I need them the most.
