St James Animal Hospital

All they want is money they don't really care about your pet. It's scary beware overcharge bad atmosphere.

My wife brought our dog here after I diagnosed him with a urinary track infection. She comes home with a 853.89 bill. And the ironic part is that they did not even do a culture to confirm the UTI. But they did every other test just to CHARGE more money.

Dr. Star is very thorough and thoughtful. Explains everything he is doing. Answers any questions you might have. Him and his staff always get back to you. They keep you informed of any tests, etc. They are compassionate and love the animals. We went with our first 2 dogs when we moved to St. James. And they were very thoughtful and considerate upon their passing due to cancer. We went back with our new furbaby when we adopted her this year, because we remember how we were treated, and above all how our babies were treated and cared for.

Always a very pleasant environment! The entire staff is always willing to help with any questions you may have. Dr. Star is always very thorough and explains everything to me. Highly recommended Dr. Star and St James Animal Hospital!

I purchased my Weim from a pet store in Coram and they referred me to this Vet obviously because they have some behind the scenes deal. Although I never had a problem with the Dr. or staff, I always thought he was ridiculously over priced. In October I was charged $500 for a well checkup & shots. I started pricing around to find they are 3x more expensive than most offices!!! I was going back because they accepted Care Credit which they no longer do. All I have to show for it is a maxed out credit card!!! Went to a different Vet today for an ear infection and with medications paid $89 CASH!! Just beware of pricing they are a huge rip off.

WARNING, stay away form St. James Animal hospital!!! MR. STAR is not a qualified Veterinarian and should not be called a doctor. All he likes to do is listen to himself talk, misdiagnose test results and charge you for exams and procedures that cost you a lot of money for no reason. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO ST. JAMES ANIMAL HOSPITAL.

If I could give this place a negative number I would, such disrespect to their clients and the girls in the front have childish attitudes should not be around animals or people. They only want your money believe me, the doctor didnt even know my dog was an English bulldog, Really!!!!!!!! They were charging me $1350 for 2 minor surgeries I call 5 other places and the average was $800 for both with everything included......seriously what a rip off $1350.... money that's what they care about not your pet......

I have been a client since Dr. Star started. Couldn't ask for a better hospital. Great staff, great compassion great all around

Been going here for a little over a year now. Everyone's always thorough and nice. They seem happy to answer our questions and accommodate to us and our pup. They're a little pricey but vet care isn't usually cheap. Parking can be a little difficult at certain times, but overall I would definitely recommend saint james animal hospital

OMG if you love your dog - do not go to this idiot! His speech is so canned it will make you puke. His little crony staff members say the same canned crap. There is not any enthusiasm or love for your dog. They just want your money and for you to leave. The doctor never, ever shows up on time. He shows up wreaking of smoke. The place is filthy. Just over all disgusting! STAY AWAY!!!

I recently got a new puppy and the pet store referred us to Dr Star. Having other dogs, and having had expierience visiting many other veterinarians and animal hospitals over the years I have to say I am very pleased. The doctor and staff are all very nice and helpful and efficient. Reading the other reviews I'm shocked about what some of the others said. Especially with the pricing.. In general veterinarians are not cheap so if you can't handle paying the bill don't purchase a pet. I've been to animal hospitals much pricier. I would recommend this st James animal hospital to any of my friends and I will start taking my older dogs here as well.

do not go here. They have me discounts because I got my puppy from peebles pet shop. But it's no discount at all. My dog had parasites and they said the medication was free but every time they test the stool it's 50 bucks and this is my 6th time testing it not to mention all the other costs. They're not treating my dog properly just so they can make money off him. I asked if I could just get the meds with no stool testing because I knew he was still sick because he had diarrhea, his hair is course and he's coughing and they told me no because they have to no what parasite it is... Wasn't that what the other 6 tests were for? They don't care that my puppy has been sick for 4 months while this parasite sucks the life out of him. They'd rather make money. I can't even switch because if I go to another vet now they'll start over new with the process. But after this... So done.

I bought a puppy a few weeks ago from a breeder and he gave me a five year health warranty and a free office visit with St. James Animal Hospital. I was told of a prior condition and when I went into Dr. Starr he told me it was no big deal and won't cause any health issues. I right away loved the staff and Dr. Starr. Everyone there loves my puppy so much and I have only been there a few times and they already know my puppy. I do not feel over charged and if anything I feel like this is a very affordable vet. I have been using another vet who wants $15 more for an office visit fee on my other dogs. I can always call this vet with any questions and all of them give me a good response and also they give you Dr. Starr's cell phone number in case of an emergency which I love!! I will be DEFINITELY using then for my puppy for as long as I can!

after reading the 2 reviews that are on here i was kinda worried about going here. i too bought a puppy from peebles pet shop and i wanted to use the health warrany. the warrany was exatly what the paper the pet shop gave me. if you read the paper it does not say the whole appt is free is says the drs exam is free. along with a parvo shot. the wait in the waiting room was a little long but once i got into see dr starr i understood why he was very complete with his exam he took his time you could see he acually liked his job. he explained everything he was doing. yes there was a charge when i left but that was to cover the flea and tick prevenative as well as the heartworm prevenative which any responsible pet owner would know that is necessary. my puppy did have a parasite but after reasearching it i saw that all dogs and puppies have it and under stress it can act up. as a repeat pet owner anyone who was expecting a perfect puppy is better off with a stuffed animal.

St James Animal Hospital are the biggest shysters on Long Island. Stay away from them. Let me tell you about my story. I bought a puppy from Peebles Pet Shop. My puppy had kennel cough and parasites. They sent me to St.James. My so called free 1 year free health medical warranty after one visit cost me $150.00. Our family wanted a perfect puppy but it turned into a dark nightmare, thanks to this crew. My suggestion: stay away from these rip-off artists.

This place is a rip, totaly over priced and Dr. Starr is out to get your money. There is no reason for these people to charge the amount they charge and there are 'fees' for everything. We swtiched Hospitals (and yes....there was a fee to get my dog's file from them!!!) Shame on you St James Animal Hospital!!!
