  I am not surprised to see the reviews others have left, I am flabbergasted at the lack of care and concern. I was referred to Atlantic Coast Veterinary Specialist by my primary care veterinarian. In my opinion and apparently many other people's opinion (based on other reviews) This is a horrible place to go if you have a pet that is in need of critical care. Their staff is nasty, I am limited to 2000 characters, therefore I cannot write the horrible treatment I received and the absolute disgusting attitude from the office manager and staff, I implore you to read the other reviews , I can assure you they are accurate. I experienced a similar unfortunate experience with Atlantic Coast Veterinary Specialist I am taking the time to write this to allow all pet owners to BEWARE. There are plenty of other places to take your dog/cat to , places that have technicians, staff and doctors who care and will treat you with respect and provide your beloved pet with the level of care you would want and expect to receive. Atlantic Coast is NOT one of those places . Stay away.

  Bohemia *** the absolute worst experience I've ever had. I would give it negative stars if I could. My adult pittbull was acutely ill, lethargic half his jaw swollen when I rushed him to the *** They helped me get hi. out of the car, strapped him to a ****** and wheeled him away... without me. I went in the front door where no one addressed me for awhile until a receptionist came to the desk and loudly said " your dogs a ************, who did to his ears?". I wasn't there for his ears, I was there because my baby boy was extremely ill, it took them 40mins to even bring me into a room where i gave his history, still thwy kept my dog from me. another hour before a doctor walked in and said " he won't let me exam him, we need to sedate him" I asked with what medication, spoke about xrays and said I wanted to see my boy first. They finally brought him to me. I spoke to him and said I'll see you very soon. 2 hours later ****************** walks in, shows me my boys Jaw xray and states " see this, it's all cancer. " he then proceeds to **** and walk out if the room. He returns 15 mins later annoyed and states his computer is acting up. he then shows me a chest xray " see tgis, it's all cancer, he is riddled with cancer. I'm sorry, you should put you dog" I didn't let him finish I said get me my boy now. He looked shocked and annoyed said " you really need to consider putting him" I again said get me my dog. 45 mins later they brought him to me. I paid $1350 took the radiologist report and i left, got home and called my vet hysterical. That night he was burning up, more and more swollen. My vet came the next day fully prepared to euthanize my baby. I handed the report to my vet said I couldn't even read it but that doctor had to be wrong. Well not a single mention about cancer to the jaw or chest. It was a root infection and he was septic. **** wanted to killed my dog and he never even reviewed the report. He should lose his license. Antibiotics, fluids and my vet saved him.

  Terrible experience. The Farmingdale facility did not have a doctor onsite. The Bohemia's doctor reviewed my cat's x-rays and determined he needed to be hospitalized. *********** told us we would be dropping our cat off, wrong. Hours waiting, sick distressed animal, charged again, over $5,000 for both fiascos. I called @ 1pm the next day, our cat was on his way in for treatment, 4pm same story. The vet did call @ 6:30 we can pick our cat up. Already signing for 2 nights we opted to wait. Good thing, our cat was treated again on Sunday. The receptionist @ the Bohemia office has the wrong job, totally unprofessional and disrespectful. She suggested we check the reviews of another local facility and go there. Farmingdale posts signs emergency 24 hour care, they don't post we have no doctor onsite and you will take your sick animal for a half hour car ride too endure and pay for more incompetence.

  I was physically assaulted by three nurses, two of them men, and the Cardiologist. I had to go to the hospital. All because I was beside myself that my dog was in heart failure, and not taken into the emergency room right away. The Cardiologist put my dog in ***** way by attacking me with my dog in her arms. She will be hearing from my attorney along with the rest of the staff. Stay away from this toxic place. I have a video to prove it.

  I recently needed to take my Cavapoo here and was turned away. My dog had ingested a pill which was 5-HTP and immediately became severely lethargic. So I immediately rushed him to Atlantic Coast in Bohemia, NY.I had my limp dog in my arms he couldn't even keep his head up. As i approached the door I was told sorry we're closed and the person proceeded to lock the door. This business advertises that they are opened 24/7 365 days a year.When I returned home I call the Animal Hotline and was told to get him to a hospital as that pill was very dangerous to him. The representative recommended Atlantic Coast because they advertise 24/7 365 days a year and are close to my home. I told them what happened above. They were able to find me another hospital fairly close to my home.When i got there they attempted to induce vomiting but his system had already absorbed the medication so they needed to give him charcoal to get it out of his system. They also needed to hold him overnight with an IV because of condition.My pup I was told by the animal hotline and the veterinary hospital who did treat him that he could have died without treatment.

  After receiving care one evening here for my cat, i was advised by my vet the next day that my cat should have received certain medications before being released and was now in critical condition. He was hospitalized and it was unclear that he would survive. It's been 2 weeks and thankfully due to my vet, he is on the mend - however, all of my phone calls to ACV and and a letter i sent to inquire about the care received have been ignored.
