Companions Animal Hospital

I just adopted my first cat from a rescue and took her to Companions for a wellness exam. I am a new cat owner. I met with Dr. Barnable who is incredible! He answered all my questions, gave great advice as far as what brands of food to use, what vaccines she needed, etc. He did not try to add extra tests or anything. Gave me lots of time and did a very thorough exam.

My cat was super relaxed with him. The office is run great. The receptionists are very friendly and Dr. Barnable's assistant was great. Found my vet that I am confident and comfortable with. Highly recommend

4 stars for the wonderful vets and techs at Companions, 1 star for front office staff. I've been met with rudeness and an abrasive attitude on more than one occasion. Definitely would give Companions 5 stars if not for the very difficult front office staff.

I was recommended by a good friend three years ago after having a very tough time finding a Veterinarian for my 2 boys that I felt confident in. We immediately fell in love Dr. Barnable. I find the staff kind, caring and warm. Super people who truly care for their patients!

I am so thankful to have found Companions and Dr. Barnable! I highly recommend them. Dr. Barnable is extremely caring and smart. He goes above and beyond your average vet to thoroughly explain his diagnoses and weigh all treatment options. It is apparent he genuinely cares for your animals and treats them as if they were his own. We have 3 animals who are treated here, one with a persistent and difficult disease to treat and the Companions staff has helped to ease our anxieties through their caring demeanor despite stressful times. If you are looking for a vet in the area, I highly recommended Companions!

I started going to them in August for my Poodle's ear infections. They charged me over $1000 from August to October and my dog only got relief when his groomer started treating him. And because I criticized them they told me, over the phone, never to come back when I called to ask if they can see my cat who has a tapeworm. They are irresponsible, un compassionate, and they charge way too much. This is why people abandon their animals because of places like "compassionate animal Hospital." Find a different place to take your angels.

We first started going to Companions Animal Hospital five years ago when we moved to the area. We were looking for an integrative doctor and Dr. Marghoob's name kept coming up as highly recommended in the reviews. We knew from the first time our girls, Katie and Lucy went to see her, that Dr. M was exactly who we were looking for. Her vast knowledge of Western and Eastern medicine allows her to always offer a variety of treatment options.

Last summer, Katie was brought in after throwing up one morning and it was determined that she was in acute liver failure after bloodwork showed extremely elevated liver values. Dr. M aggressively treated her and put her on prescription hepatic dog food. She also scheduled a needle-guided biopsy and ultrasound to determine the cause. Now, over six months later, Katie's liver values have returned to the normal range.

They had literally been off the charts! Not only has Dr. M saved Katie's life, she has also increased the quality of it through Chinese herbs and acupuncture for back and spinal issues, itching and incontinence. My girls are 11 years old and I expect them to have health issues but knowing that we have a doctor like Dr. Marghoob is a great comfort.

My 14 year old Westie had a large growth on the left front leg, near the dew claw. The doctors at Companions were pretty certain it was cancerous and after several visits I was told the best thing was to keep her on pain killers, making her as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. I took the dog to another local vet recommended by friends.

They were not certain the growth was cancerous. They told me if it was, it probably would have spread by now. So they took a chest X-ray and sent it to a veterinary radiologist who saw no cancer in the chest. I then opted for surgery to remove the growth. The surgery was successful and the removed tissue was biopsied and found NOT to be cancerous.

After a couple of tough weeks recuperating, my dog is now fine. She's 14 and I know she won't be around forever, but it's nice to see her healthy and active again. Was Companions' opinion based on the fact that they would NOT have done the surgery and thus not collect the fee associated with it? I don't know. But I do know I won't be bringing my pets there again.

We used to see Dr. Klemenger (and Dr. Marghoob occasionally) when they worked in Queens. A few eats ago we moved to Nassau and finally got another pup. We realized we were close to Dr. K new location and they were again an AAHA Accredited hospital. We were thrilled. Esp since the closer Vet we first took our newly adopted pup to didn't do as in-depth a check on a stool sample and didn't pick up on a parasite. One that could have spread to other animals and our kids. It is well worth traveling the extra 4 min to Merrick for that! I highly recommend them!

Companions is always there for me and my dogs. I sadly had to put Lola, one of my Dogs, down over a year ago after kidney failure and the staff was so good to us. I received a card signed by everyone who works there and this clay imprint of her paw prints- I look at it everyday and remember how sweet my little girl was. My boy Rico started having some pain last night and was yelping. Companions took us in immediately today and he is already feeling so much better. Thank you all so much.

I could not rate this clinic high enough. They have been professional, caring and took the time to educate me on my dogs illness. My chihuahua had suffered with a skin issue for over a year and was seen by many other Vets with loads of treatments for allergies. When I took him to Companions they took one look at him treated him for skin infection and he was cured! I only trust them with my pets!
