Cappel Beverly

Great training. Dottie is experienced and was able to help us.

They give fantastic service I am very pleased with the Vetbarn

Phenomenal staff! Love the vet, BUT She is always late, yes, always!

Dr. Cappel is a great vet! And the Staff is nothing but wonderful! They have taken care of my puppies since we got them at 3 months old. Just don't cancel the day before your appointment more then 3 times they will drop you as a patient with no warning and no care as to why you canceled.

Danielle does the physical therapy there and she has been amazing with my dog Molly, a 15 year old GSD suffering from mobility issues. We've been to 5 sessions and there is definitely improvement in her physical condition. My regular vet commented on it even.

Great vet. Very caring. Been to many vets already. This is one of our favorites.

1130 Appt waiting in my car until after noon? I had no gas my dog was whimpering and it was a humid summer day. Misdiagnosed most issues and also wants to overcharge.

Great doctors and staff. the staff are incredible and you feel like they are your friends. have taken my dog alley for years until she passed at 16. at age 12, he had trouble walking and no other vet would prescribe medication in fear of liver damage. Doctor Gloria gave Alley a mix and monitored her blood and he got 4 more years of running around happy. Got Blanco, a rescue from Texas and the poor little guy battled seizures at only 4 months of age.

Doctor Gloria and a specialist worked on different drugs to help, but in the end, we had to put him down, but it wasn't for lack of trying. we will be back soon with another rescue dog.

I took my young b*tch in because her gait went off and I didn't like her rear movement. I explained this to the vet. Without even an x-ray, I was told, "She could have hip dysplasia." Ummmm. Instead of testing to rule out things like, oh, Lyme disease, I was advised to proceed with hydrotherapy (for nearly eight months.) I took her to another vet, who ran a SNAP-test, which revealed (GASP!) LYME DISEASE!

A course of Doxy, that cost me less than $30 for a month's supply, knocked out the Lyme disease that she had AND HER GAIT IMPROVED! I spent over $1k needlessly! No amount of hydrotherapy was ever going to cure Lyme disease! I had been taking my dogs there for over fifteen years, but, after feeling so disrespected, I won't be back.

My 12 year old dog Roskie is being treated for arthritis in his hip. Dr. Binkowski is using K laser therapy on him. I noticed a difference after two treatments. She is amazing and am very happy with the progress I see in my goldendoodle. I highly recommend Dr. Binkowski

Dr. Cappel and the staff are wonderful! My pup loves going to the vet here! Seriously.he looks forward to it! They've been fabulous through the pandemic as well. We're extremely pleased with our experience.

They were so friendly, warm, and welcoming. They treated my little Bruce Wayne like one of their own. I've only been a pet owner for a year but I can vividly remember seeing their commercials when I was a kid 20 years ago. And when it came time to look for a vet I knew exactly where I wanted to go. I trust them, I trust their judgement, I appreciate that they are so warm to the pets.

Thank for your help and honest opinion with Buck, We felt very comfortable being in your office. So did Buck. Most times he does a 360 at the vet office.

Friendly and kind. From front desk to doctors, you'll feel like part of a family when you go to Vet at the Barn. My wife takes most of the trips there for our pets, I have been there several times myself. I felt as if I'd known them my whole life. My pets are treated with top notch care and respect. They have many approaches to solve your pet's needs.

My cat quit eating, quit moving and I took him to your clinic within 2 days of him becoming ill. Your clinic wasted a week of my cat's life and robbed me of almost $1000 giving him various forms of remedies all the while he had a tumor growing in his chest and a lousy X-ray would have discovered the tumor! The money I spent trusting your vet was money I could have used for chemo! Know your stuff pet people! Before then useless, cruel and money greeedy "professionals" will have their way with your wallet and your pet's life!

I had scheduled the first appt of the day for 11:00 am. Dr. Kappel called in at 11:00 and was told by her staff that I was already there and waiting. She did not show up for 40 minutes at which time I asked for my records and left. I am a healthcare practitioner myself and would never show such disrespect to my own patients. I have been told she has a reputation for always being late.

I had been taking my dog Sammi to Vet at the Barn for 9 years. After multiple negative experiences, I felt it was time to go elsewhere. For the past 3 years Sam had an issue with her skin and every time I'd go, I was told to try something different. All of which I'd done. Earlier this year I had her yearly check up with Dr. Bea. She recommended a shampoo that I buy - while waiting for my bill I was able to find the shampoo online for half the price so I declined to buy it there.

She chided me and snottily said "So much for shopping small businesses" - this is after spending almost $250 for the check up and bringing my dog here for 9 years. RUDE and OBNOXIOUS. My most recent visit I was told this time it might be a thyroid issue and that she should have blood work done. I did not get a follow up for 5 days - I called multiple times and kept being told I would get a return call.

Well after 5 days and $234 dollars, I finally got a call back that wasn't even from the doctor - telling me to put the dog on thyroid meds and to get blood work done again in 3-4 weeks. Given I'd reached an all time high of frustration I decided I would take my dog elsewhere for the follow up blood work. After 3 and a half weeks of being on the medication, there was little to no change in her skin.

If anything it got worse. I took her in a few days ago to another vet and was advised she has a Staph infection and will need to be on antibiotics for 3 weeks. I find it completely despicable and disturbing that I went multiple occasions for this issue and was not even provided relief or resolution for my dog's issue.

The review is quite dated, but after moving to Boston and then California and dealing with many other vet teams, I realize this is long overdue. I'm surprised at the negative reviews I'm reading on this site, but if ownership hasn't changed since I used them in the early 2000's I believe you will be in good hands. Why did I love Vet at the Barn so much?

Background - My dog was a city dog. Never off leash outside. Only off leash in pool halls and bars and home. He did not like dogs and never came in contact with any animals. Ever. Every vet since has pushed heartworm medication on me. I test my dogs for heartworm every six months which means that I will always catch an infestation in time to treat it.

This is a much safer alternative to monthly poisons that will likely never be needed. Vet at the Barn never recommended preventative heartworm medication based on lifestyle and my own heartworm testing regimen. A vet that doesn't understand this protocol is either ignorant or greedy. Run. I don't give rabies vaccines to senior dogs. They totally understood.

Every vet since applies undue pressure for this. Again, my dog was never off leash and had nearly a zero chance of coming in contact with any animal. The risk of him having a bad reaction to a rabies vaccine as a senior was far greater than the odds of him coming into contact with a rabid animal. This protocol isn't crazy. They don't even have a rabies vaccine in Europe. Lepto Vaccine?

Every vet since just pushes and pushes regardless of what I tell them about their lifestyle. I've never met a vet team that took so much of my dog's lifestyle in to account when determining a proper plan for having a healthy dog. This review is long overdue, but deserved based on all the experiences I've had since.

I was concerned when I read reviews. It took at while to get in to see holistic vet. I was nagging the receptionist to squeeze me in because my Rottweiler had discharge from both eyes. I usually go to Oradell animal hospital and get young vets that see my tiny and muzzle him right away and then that starts a horrible experience for me and my dog. But this vet at the barn was older and seasoned and relaxed and did not even get at all intimidated by tiny it wasn't even a thought and tiny 'a nub wagging was at ease so we talked for quite a while and she reinforced the importance of not disregarding anything even minute when it comes to the eye. Turns out he has an infection.

She prescribed an ointment and a powder for food and within a day the discharge is almost gone. Rates were reasonable. Place was neat and clean. Easy to find. Receptionist was efficient.

DO NOT GO HERE. You will be endangering the life of your pet. Many years ago, I brought my ill dog here and they botched an ear cleaning so badly that she was in wild pain and lost her hearing. I've been upset about it for almost 10 years, and I recently had a friend tell me about a horrible vet office experience with her dog. On a hunch, I asked if it was the Vet at the Barn, and lo and behold, it was.

They misdiagnosed and mistreated her dog and she was so upset that they took advantage of her and her sweet, sick pet. My blood is boiling that this *awful* facility still exists and clearly harms animals on the regular. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. PS: if you're leaving a negative review here, please also leave one on their facility's Facebook page. This place needs to be closed.

It starts with a totally awful front desk. I called and said I wanted a second opinion regarding my pet bird who was having some very strange happenings. The receptionist told me they needed to get the original vet's workup, x-rays, CBC results and so on. I said fine. When I got to my appointment the next day, the receptionist asked me, "Where are all the lab-work papers you were to bring in?" I said, "What do you mean I was to bring in? Don't you have a fax machine? Aren't these papers normally faxed between doctors?" She said, no, they expect the pet owner to bring in lab-work from other vets. Indeed, their own voice mail does not state, "If you are a veterinarian, press 1" or some such, because they do not share their work with other vets!

So I called my current vet at Oradell Animal Hospital (sorry I ever doubted them!), got the records room and they said they would send everything over within 24 hours. It did me no good for my appointment with Dr. Cappel at Vet At The Barn. Dr. Cappel seemed knowledgeable and gave me time, which was interrupted over and over by her staff. But it turns out the diet she put my bird on was just wrong.

It might have been right had she had the birds x-rays in front of her that showed an enlarged liver. But Dr. Cappel assured me she would call me when she received the x-rays and blood work and give me her opinion. Never happened. I called and called the hospital asking if the lab work was received, if Dr. Cappel had a chance to review it, ANYTHING! I never got a response. And they will never have my business again.

I have been seeing Dr. Levin and Dr. Binkowski for 15 years with my dogs. Never once had a complaint. I wish Dr. Levin was in more often but she lives in Israel so the fact she flies in at all is a bonus. She flew in to put my beloved dog down because I asked her to. The other vets I have not seen often enough to give a fair review of but I never had a problem with the staff. I even have gone in on emergency.

I went to Vet at the Barn for a long time with my geriatric cat. We were seeing Dr. Binkowski who was kind and concerned, although I do believe that she messed up at the end. Unfortunately for my cat, the last vet she saw at Vet at the Barn was Dr. Cappel, the practice owner. I immediately brought my 19.5 year old cat to Vet at the Barn when I saw she was having extreme difficulty walking (she had been in to see Dr. Binkowski twice in the previous 3 months immediately before this). Dr. Binkowski was out sick that day so my cat was seen by Dr. Cappel.

I described to Cappel the problem my cat was having walking, as well as that she had begun to urinate outside the litter box and had a poor appetite. Without taking my cat out of her carrier, Cappel said she that was going to prescribe steroids for her. I had to ask Cappel to look at my cat. At my insistence, Cappel examined my cat (for less than a minute).

She indicated that one of my cat's kidneys was enlarged. At this point, I asked her if blood work should be done to test for kidney function. Cappel said that it wasn't necessary, that my cat could do okay with one kidney. Cappel then put my cat on the floor and watched her (attempt to) walk. In a matter of seconds, Cappel concluded that my cat was still "interested in life".

She said that the steroids would "reinvigorate" her very quickly. By the next morning, my cat could not move at all. I knew my friend's time had come. I called Vet at the Barn and said that my cat was dying and I needed to bring her in immediately. I was told that Cappel was running late (based on these other reviews, this seems to be a given for Cappel).

I was told to call back. When I did, the receptionist relayed a message from Cappel saying that I needed to give the steroids time to work. I reiterated that my cat was dying and I needed to bring her in immediately. I was told to keep calling until an opening could be found. Eventually I was told to bring her in at end of the day. I told the receptionist that I was not going to allow my cat to suffer any longer and I was coming in immediately.

When I got there, no other patients were present. Yet, Cappel made me wait for some time as she flounced around the reception area discussing the hospital phone system being repaired with the office staff. When she finally saw my cat, she acknowledged that she was dying. Cappel said that she was "surprised" by how this had turned out. When I went back to the hospital a few weeks later to pick up my cat's ashes, I was given a bill for the euthanasia. Clearly, my one interaction with Cappel was a nightmare.

I still feel guilty that I allowed my friend to suffer longer than she needed to. In my opinion, Dr. Cappel is glib, uncaring and, worst of all, an incompetent veterinarian. I urge you not to bring your animal companions to Vet at the Barn.

Dr. Binkowski is a compassionate veterinarian who takes as much time as necessary. They have been caring for my animals for 20 years.

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO ANOTHER VET! TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL Took my dog to see the owner Dr. Beverly Cappel, she reviewed my dog and said she has classic thyroid symptoms. She opened a medical book and showed me a picture of another dog with this "issue". I had blood test taken, the vet tech a few days later called and left a voicemail that the dog was fine.

I called back to speak to the doctor to see the next steps since my dog was ILL, I called every day for a week and she NEVER returned my call. My husband called, the staff claimed they gave the message and had no idea why there was no call back. We requested a refund since the dog was ill and no one was calling back with any answers or protocols. We were told we would get a refund, we did not.

My husband called back and was told by Denise they will NOT give a refund. We have NEVER" encountered such UNPROFESSIONAL behavior by any doctor. Obviously they do not care about animals as they advertise. This was a referral from another patient, when I told them this outcome they were shocked and apologized. I would not recommend this Vet to anyone for any reason.

We have been customers for years and have spent a lot of money over the years with our dog and cat. Last week my cat turned ill and when my son called for assistance they could not give him an appt. She died a day later. It's a shame they have no compassion and appear to be in business only for the money.

I had a horrible experience here. I was grossly overcharged and was told by their business manager that she would refund a portion of what I paid because Dr. Levin charged me for much more than I was told would go on (consulting experts because she was inexperienced treating my dogs disease, extra readings of X-rays multiple times, etc). After telling me she would review the bill and get back to me, I heard nothing.

I called after some time passed and was told they changed business managers and she was swamped but would call me back and refund the money. To this day I've gotten nothing back and they have 1000s of dollars I paid for treatment that barely got started. Apparently others have had good experiences here, but I do want to warn others about what happened to me.

Horrible place! They were disappointed that I only ended up paying for a checkup or exam for my dog it was $65 they tried really hard for me to add on other unnecessary tests etc. When I finished and went to the cashier she said that's all, just a check up. They were disappointed I didn't spend more money, understand people it's all about the money EVERY veterinarian's office is the same they want your money, it's the only way they can survive by getting you to pay for tests and products and shots your pet does NOT need.

I paid for nothing, I called in advance and asked a specific question they said they could help me once I got there they changed their mind and told me they can't help, then when I was ready to leave with my pet they tried to boost the bill by offering other services, a total waste of time and money!

My little bud, Jazzy, needed a checkup. We decided to switch vets, since the other one was insanely expensive. The vet was thorough and compassionate. She strongly suggested that our dog had to get his teeth cleaned and some extracted. We agreed and went back the next day. For all the work they performed, the bill was very reasonable. We will continue to take our pets there.

Recently took my cat here for surgery to remove a growth on her hind leg She was well cared for by Dr Biankowski. Finally a vet that didn't recommend Hill's Science Diet poison! A vet that truly cares about your pet's well being over revenue and kick backs from Pet food that makes animals sick and contains toxic ingredients imported from China!
