Highly recommend!!! If you want a vet that ACTUALLY cares about your pup, call this facility!!! We had a dog in our care that got a superficial cut on the top of his foot . Although superficial, we knew he needed a professional to clean the cut and glue it. After reaching out to multiple vets and explaining our situation and being denied multiple times, we reached out to great neck and they were willing and ready to help us in the matter of 30 minutes . I am so thankful for them and how kind and helpful they were !

We were thrilled with our experience at GN Vet! Everyone was so friendly. The technician (physician's assistant) was SO knowledgeable and helpful. I only wish I had gotten her name! Dr. Braer was also wonderful- of course very knowledgeable and a great bedside manner. I love how it feels like a small operation and not a "factory", and that they allow in-person visits and are not still curbside only. So happy we found this vet for our pups!

The entire staff at Great Neck Vet Clinic have been nothing but wonderful since our first emergency work-in visit. Everybody has been friendly, quick acting, informative, and professional. Dr. Braer has seen my cat for work-in appointments twice now and both times has been amazing to work with, I always leave happy, well-informed, and with a healthy and grateful fur baby. If you want to ensure you take your fur kids somewhere you can trust, definitely check them out. You won’t regret it!

I was recommended by a friend. I was hesitant because the office is a bit farther than I would prefer. However, I fell in love with them upon my pups first visit. My dog was fearful and hesitant. The tech took extra time to try to make us comfortable. They were very knowledgeable and patient. Since then we’ve seen 2 different vets. I was very pleased with both of them. My second visit they ran a few minutes behind because the vet had an emergency csection. The tech made sure to keep me updated as my time is also valuable. Even tho the vet was 10 mins late, they kept me updated. By far one of the best offices I’ve had the pleasure of patronizing.

Absolutely amazing people who helped out my best friend and her most beloved fur friend. She has very intense PTSD and they let us have a whole separate room to be in and wait, which was so incredibly kind. While so many people judge homelessness and make horrific assumptions, they were nothing but sweet and kind and calm and patient with her anxiety and inevitable panic attack during the process of being seen in an emergency situation. We were kept up to date during every single step of the process, and Nichole even brought her food and water and tissues, she really couldn't have been more compassionate. The head vet, whose name I've unfortunately forgotten, came in and spoke with us at length and even checked on her ears and teeth, going above and beyond to go over every detail of her health in addition, just to help calm my friend and let her know that her dog was in great health and obviously very well looked after, despite living outside. They offered so much assistance and made plans for future care without judgment or shame about her life circumstances, and I couldn't be more impressed at their empathy and professionalism.The ONLY complaint I had was the extreme difficulty of parking, which sounds like it's mostly due to work the city is doing nearby, but I had to circle the block about eight times before I could finally find a place to park and that alone is my singular complaint.They really were amazing, and even my own vet makes us wait outside during the pandemic so I cannot begin to explain how much this care was deeply, deeply appreciated. Had we sat outside to wait for results during tropical storm Elsa it would have been far more traumatic, but allowing us a single room where she could hear what was happening was one of the kindest acts I've seen in a very long time, as I'm sure they had to sterilize it afterwards between people and pets, and I just wanted them to know how greatly it was appreciated. I shall forever recommend your clinic due to this show of magnificent professionalism and kindness.

Great customer service and quality pet healthcare. It is a bit pricey/expensive in this area but cheaper than animal hospitals or pet ER of course. Staff was always very friendly and helpful, very kind to me and my weenie dogs.

We’ve been taking our dog Rex to Great Neck Vet for the past year and a half and we can’t imagine going anywhere else. They take such great care of our pup and are incredibly responsive any time I call with a question or need to schedule a visit. We’ve had nothing but wonderful interactions with their vets, techs and front desk staff. Our pup is healthy and happy thanks to their incredible team.

It was a good experience. I called Sunday and left a voicemail about my cat’s health issue and, someone from the office called me Monday morning and set up an appointment for Monday evening. It was a quick turnaround. The actual appointment went smoothly, and the veterinarian, Dr. Hollowell, communicated effectively with me regarding the treatment plan for my pet.

After years of driving over 30 minutes to a very big named practice in our area we decided to switch to Great Neck Vet, just a few doors down from our home. I cannot say enough nice things. Their process is so much more efficient with checking in given covid and everyone has been so kind. After our first appointment we got a hand written card from our new doctor and a follow up call. So personable! We’re touched by the care our old girl gets now. Finally also getting her medications via shots which we asked for for years at our other practice. Thanks so much!

Great Neck Vet has taken great care of our new puppy! We've worked with several different vets at the practice and each doctor took plenty of time to talk to us about our concerns and answer any questions. Not only are the doctors great, but the entire staff is fantastic to work with. Happy we found them!

Had the BEST experience @ Great Neck V.C. It was my pets 1st appt. due to not feeling well. They were able to see him within a few days. I was super impressed when I checked in via phone how detailed their questions and concern was for my dog Ozzy. There was very little to almost NO wait period. Everything flowed from check in to check out. Dr. Lottinville was very personable and caring. I received a personal message the following Mon. checking on Ozzy then received a card and picture of my pet by mail when I came home from work!! They def. are ON TOP of things there and so friendly. I would def. trust them with my pets and refer anyone there! Great job guys!

The providers and staff at Great Neck Veterinary Clinic simply amazing. I can think of no better place to bring my furry family members (meaning my pets, as opposed to some of my counterculture twenty-something relatives who prefer the back to nature au natural look! My tuxedo cat Socks is very nervous about vet's visits, but the staff always put him at ease and treats him with kid gloves. Highly recommended!

I recently moved to Virginia Beach and had to select a new vet. It’s been stressful moving during COVID, however, Great Neck veterinary clinic made my dogs visit very easy during these crazy times and they were extremely pleasant. Although we are new to the area, we’ve used other vets in the past. GNVC was very professional, yet had a family feel to the visit. Highly recommend.

They went above and beyond to make my baby feel comfortable. They made me feel comfortable by discussing the breakdown of charges with me prior to any services rendered. It was great. Everyone was so nice. They sent my dog home with a goodie bag. Am going to be switching my other dog to this vet

I was super impressed with the obvious caring for my pup and responsiveness in helping with his issues. The doctor called me two different times to discuss his ailments and followed up with the sweetest handwritten note.

I am in town for a short period of time and my dog was having seizures. This was a really stressful situation and I needed help. Great Neck was the closest vet I could find. Dr. Hofmeister and her staff were amazing! They got us in to the office right away (with great Social Distancing Procedures). I got follow up calls over the next two days to check on my dog and offer advice. I would highly recommend Dr. Hofmeister and Great Neck Veterinary Clinic!

I cannot think of any way for you to improve what I consider to be superior service. Dr. Hollowell and all the support workers are amazing.

We had just moved to Virginia Beach in May and during that time are elderly cats health deteriorated. We brought Mina to Great Neck Veterinary Clinic where they provided her with the best care and helped her cross the rainbow bridge. They made the whole process easier. They were kind and thorough. They even mailed a card a week later that had our cats paw print pressed on it.

We tried this office because of it's great reviews. So glad we did! They were so sweet to our little fur baby. Made a huge deal out of him. Made him and us feel so valued. They spent SO MUCH time with us teaching us how to provide the best care. We were not just another client. They showed him around the office to acclimate him so he wouldn't be scared. He LOVED the treats. We cant wait to go back and neither can our baby.

It was the best decision I ever made switching to Great Neck Veterinary Clinic! I rescued a Pomeranian (Skyler) from South Korea and he is extremely fearful which causes him to be aggressive. Everyone at GNV is so understanding and they are working with me to come up with a plan so Skyler's anxiety is reduced. All the staff and doctors there are the best!

I highly recommend Great Neck Veterinary Clinic. My Dog “Meadow” has been a patient there since she was a pup..she will be 4 in in April. Recently she ate something toxic and it immediately effected her liver and her body was was shutting down. They kept Meadow there and went right to work..if not for there immediate attention to Meadow I TRULY believe I would have lost her..she was hospitalized for a couple of days after for fluids but the initial compassion and knowledge of The Great Neck team are her angels..Thank you for everything🙏🙏

Our dog received great care while we lived in Virginia Beach. We moved to California two years ago and we recently needed a signed copy of our dog’s vaccines for an upcoming move to Hawaii. Great Neck Veterinary promptly responded to our request and sent the signed vaccines. Great customer service even two years later.

My pup was not feeling so well after consuming some bad things, I brought her in no question got her taken care of and gave me options to get her after hours care if necessary. The doc also gave me her card and told me to contact her personally if after hour care was needed so she could be in the loop with everything. As a business owner myself I know giving a client the option to contact anytime is a big deal. You can tell the doctors here don’t just clock out, they are actively thinking about the care of your animal even when they are home. Highly recommended 5 stars. Staff very friendly !

Our dog wags her tail from the minute we arrive to when we drive away. Dr. Hollowell & her team of doctors and incredibly staff each are exceptional in their knowledge and care. In addition When our dog unexpectedly needed ACL surgery they knew exactly where to send us where our dog received a perfect operation. We’ve been clients for 15 years and highly recommend.

This place is incredible. I brought my 15 yr old dog, Ginger, there until her passing, 7 years ago. She was very sick and the way they handled the whole affair was personal, giving and caring. The staff and doctors were remarkable and they even sent us a sympathy card with all employees personal signatures & comments. The year before Ginger past she gave birth. It was the only liter she ever had & she was 14 yrs old. She had 2 girls, Chloe & Tuaca. They have been to Great Neck Vet. only, with Dr. Gale. She is fabulous. Gentle but firm all in one. Recently I and several others rescued a dog that was running loose in the middle of a very busy Shore Dr. We rushed this animal in the office and they immediately attended the needs of the animal until he was stable enough for the SPCA to pick him up. We explained the situation to them & i expected them to ask who was going to pay for the visit. THEY NEVER DID. THEY SAVED THIS ANIMALS LIFE WITHOUT COMPENSATION. This was an exhausting, emotional, & frustrating event made better by the kindness & generosity of Great Neck Veterinary. Thank You All over & over again. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 10 stars

When Max, our beautiful orange tabby cat, got sick, our veterinarian did everything she could to identify the problem and put him on the road to recovery. There was genuine concern on her face and the staff reflected that attitude as well. She accurately identified and effectively treated the root cause of Max's illness. To our delight, our precious Max fully recovered. It was a joyous day when my husband and I put him in his carrier to return home to enjoy life with us and his cat family. I highly recommend Great Neck Veterinary; a clinic that truly cares.
