Three Village Veterinary Hospital

I decided to write this positive review bc I realized that people don't often go out of their way to write positive reviews. I felt it was totally necessary since this animal hospital goes out of their way for my pets, past and present. The vets at this practice are a...lways kind and friendly, which for me makes a big difference. They don't just usher you in and out of there like another place I was going to before TVVH. Every time I have a concern, I can easily get an appointment the same or next day. The women at the desk are always so nice too (a huge plus for me and my wife since you know how receptionists can often be). I never feel like I'm being "sold" anything my pet doesn't need. At first I thought the prices were slightly higher than my old vet but even if they are, the extra $10-20 per visit are well worth my peace of mind that I'm going to the best. Thanks so much to the doctors of Three Village Vet. Read More

I'm extremely sad to write this review yet pet owners, beware! On February 15th, 2014, we brought our beloved cat Bella to Three Village Vet's office to diagnose and treat her. After examination, Dr. Carillo concluded that a possible reason was a broken tooth and possib...le infection in her upper right jaw. The doctor wanted to give Bella pain and antibiotic medications. We mentioned we had pill pockets and trusted our sitter to handle the medication needs (we had planned a trip). Dr. Carillo told us the antibiotic Convenia was long-lasting and would cover her while we were away, without the need for pills. She administered the Convenia and a pain medication, Buprenex, in combination with sub-q fluids. We took Bella home and two hours later, found her dead. We called Three Village's office first and a recording advised us to contact our emergency vet's office, which we did. Bella was taken there for cremation. The next day, trying to understand how such a healthy cat with only a dental problem could have died so suddenly, we explored the 2 drugs administered. It took only a few seconds to find thousands of reports of adverse reactions to Convenia, including death. It was a shock to realize Dr. Carillo had made a choice to use this drug without informing us of the possible side effects, especially when other options existed. It is a vet's professional obligation to provide enough information to give informed consent for the use of any drug, treatment or procedure. (review the American Veterinary Medical Association). Dr. Carillo chose not to do so, and our sweet Bella is dead. If you are a pet owner, be aware that your vet is REQUIRED to give you written explanation of any procedure or treatment before commencing. Read More

TRUST ME -- I am an animal lover and I would only bring my pets to the best. I've been to other vets in the area and Three Village Vet Hospital is by far the best! Their doctors are patient, answer all of my questions (I often have many), and don't ever talk "above yo...u." One of my favorite things are the coupons they offer on their website which help cover some of the costs. All 3 doctors are amazing and I will trust them with my pets health care forever. Read More
