5 Stars: Animal Saviors (by Missy B.)

Missy B. — Fri, 20 May 2005 13:57:00 GMT

A few months ago, I found an abandoned kitten in the garbage room of my apartment building. After calling 311, Animal Rescue (both a joke) and many other shelters, Pet Haven was the only place that would take in this sweet little kitty and keep her alive. They cleaned her up and dewormed her, and generally took excellent care of her at no cost to me. They also provided a safe environment for her until she was adopted.

PROS: No kill animal shelter, excellent pet care
CONS:

5 Stars: dogs and cats galore (by Barbara s.)

I've been taking my pets to Pet Haven for more than 10 years. they have always been professional, honest, quick and cost effective. What more can you ask from a Vet? I first found Pet Haven by talking to dog owners in Prospect Park, one of whom told me about how one of the Pet Haven vets came to her home weekly to care for her elderly dog until he died. I've found all of the docs there to be caring and wonderful, both in good times and bad.

1 Stars: Since the 1960's my family went to Dr. Keschner (by linda b.)

My father used Dr. Keschner since the 60's. The Dr. Keschner now who took over the practise, has no blood ties I was told I assumed he was the son. The new Dr. Keschner stinks. I did not like the things he did to my dog bad vet. And when I went in for his ashes they never had them. For months of trying to reach him and when I finally did, I was told some hair brain story about the ashes go to a mass grave site the pet owner does not get them. I WAS HURT AND LIED TO. thank you Dr. Kescher I still have the paper work if anyone wants to see it.

2 Stars: a very bad experience! (by amanda f.)

i took my dachshund here today after getting really excited about the great reviews and close location only to be sorely disappointed. maybe i caught them on a bad day, but it was bad enough for me to not want to return, even though i need to for a check up on the current diagnosis.

almost immediately when we were taken into the room the vet started with a "you don't know s###" attitude, which i really didn't appreciate ( i was plenty educated in the things he was spouting off about) but tried to look past. the entire appointment was VERY rushed, and though i understand needing to keep on schedule, trying to jam two different needles into my dog (in the same spot, nonetheless) while shoving a pill down her throat doesn't seem necessary. her normally calm vet demeaner disappeared because of this which elicited a, "well i thought she was good tempered, guess not!" sort of comment from the vet. yeah, well i would be grumpy too. and i really am.

$200 for twenty minutes of that? i think i will look elsewhere for the next visit.

5 Stars: Put My Kitten In GOD MODE! Best Animal Hospital Ever. (by Kenneth K.)

Pet Haven and it's doctors performed hours of very difficult surgery on a 6 week old kitten that was hit by a car and unconscious. Over 40 stitches in 5 places, a metal pin in one leg, a week of intensive care. The kitten is over 2 years old now and perfectly healthy with barely any scarring. If a random animal hospital in Brooklyn can perform the miracle of sewing up a little furry ball of mashed up kitten bones and flesh into a happy, playing and perfectly normal cat, they are exceptional and their skills are well above those of average vets. To pull this off with no problems, no infections, no complications is a testament to their professionalism.

My return visits for shots and checkups were routine, prompt and with the occasional moments requiring me to be humble while they did what was necessary to my cat to keep it healthy, and she still is, while the bill each time is what I am happy to pay for their professionalism and life saving skills that I know I could never have found elsewhere when I first needed an animal hospital for Anzio.

My kitten is in GOD MODE, meaning that she can float in the air, has superhuman dexterity, agile beyond olympians, faster than a speeding locomotive and quite simply is god like and to be feared. Thanks Pet Haven!

5 Stars: These Vets Are the BEST! (by Angela L.)

I had a turtle emergency and went by online reviews to find Pet Haven. Their bedside manner is EXCELLENT and it's obvious that they really love what they do - unlike A LOT of vets I've encountered in New York. They're a warm bunch of people and I wish I had MORE pets to take back to them.

4 Stars: Great! (by Gianna D.)

I have a lot of pets and found that the Pet Haven Animal Hospital was the best place to go. They treat all kinds of pets including exotics. Not all vets do. And someof those that do don't really care about them. I had another vet almost drop my gerbil off the examining table and she didn't even care. They are very caring and will really care for your pet and help them so much. The prices are good compared to other vets I've been to.

5 Stars: Great Vet and great service (by eric j.)

I was dealt with professionally, and more importantly, my dog was handeled with great care. Dr Keschner made a great diagnosis that my previous vet couldnt figure out and ran multiple expensive tests. Dr Keschner is really honest, and my dog had a great run to live in during his visit. I would recommend this hospital to anyone with a dog. I also hear great things about his bird care and treatment.
