Love this place. They actually pay attention to what you have to say. Don't over charge or ask for extra test that are not needed. Staff and vet are really friendly and they really care about your pets. Always get the best care when I go here.

Please, don’t bring your pet here. The “veterinarian” is forgetful and utterly incompetent. I recently brought my fur baby due to some issues she has been having when it comes to her back right leg. Needless to say she does need surgery due to a luxating patella. When going over the x-rays with Daniel Tufaro he was unsure what he was looking at as he corrected himself many different times while reviewing the images. This worried me & I became very hesitant. He agreed to schedule surgery after prescribing pain medication for my dog. When I called the following week to schedule the surgery I was informed over the phone to bring my pet in between 9 AM and 10 AM, the surgery will begin between 12 PM - 2 PM and I would be able to pick my pet up at 5 PM. The day of the surgery I arrived at 9:30 AM (no reminder call the day before from the office) where I was then told I need to wait for Daniel Tufaro because he didn’t remember what had to be done to my dog (?). While waiting I witnessed the assistants poorly handle a situation they made an error on. Instead of admitting they made a mistake they proceeded to give the woman an attitude as if it was her fault and made her cry (?). Finally after waiting 30 minutes for Daniel Tufaro, he began an exam to again diagnosis my pet with the same thing he had diagnosed her with the week prior to then later charge me for this pointless exam $75 (?). While in the room he informed me that the “surgery would be taking place around 7 PM and you wouldn’t hear from us until 10:30 PM, unless you’re sleeping we won’t call.” This was not the information they gave me over the phone when I called (?). I then became emotional at the fact of having to leave my fur baby overnight and the looked me dead in the face with no bedside manner “why are you crying?” (?). He gave me time to recollect myself and decide if I wanted to continue with the surgery but my mind was already made up. I couldn’t ignore the red flags and decided it was best to take my business elsewhere. I simply shared with him “I’ll call to reschedule,” obviously a lie. He simply responded with a “bye,” and walked out the room before I could say anything else. I am very secure with my decision walking out that office and never looking back. And I’m trying to warn others to look elsewhere for your pets treatment.

I have been going to ABC for close to 20 years with 3 dogs and Dr Tufaro is the best. They have guided me through everying from a birth defect surgery, that was very successful, respiratory infections, teeth cleanings to end of life decisions. Dr. Tufaro is so knowledgeable and kind. The staff is the same. They ar professional but sweet and kind to you and your pups. It’s a safe place for you and your pups. I trust ABC 100%. Thank you for taking such good care of my pups.

Took our senior cat in for a checkup and dental work was suggested by the vet (tooth extraction). After the extraction, there have been severe complications and almost no contact or follow up from the vet. Our cat’s third eyelids won’t retract, and after taking him to another vet it was determined that there was damage done to the jaw and potentially facial nerve damage as well. Vet continually said, “he will be fine, these symptoms will go away.” After 3 weeks, our cat is worse for having gone to this clinic. Avoid avoid avoid.

Dr. Tufaro and his staff are extremely nice and knowledgeable. They had everything they need it to make a rapid and accurate diagnosis of my Cosmo ( Jack Russell ). They explained everything that I needed to know about Cosmo’s condition and made sure that I understood. Service is great, pricing is reasonable and I totally love about Dr Tufaro’s honesty. I’m so glad I have found this clinic. They really do go above and beyond for their patients.

I used to enjoy bringing my pets to Dr. Tufaro until 3 months ago he misdiagnosed my cat.

Then I canceled an appointment and rescheduled it and he tried to charge me a no show fee.

I sent him an email and received no response.

I think it’s time for him to retire. He’s not the same person I met 5 years ago. I heard what he did to a neighborhood dog today and the dog passed away. That could have been my Cat!

I've never seen a doctor so careless and in a rush. He spent less than 3 minutes with my dog to tell me my dog was OK, which I knew he wasn't. It followed with a hefty bill. I spoke with him at 10:00 pm that same day and said to him that my dog was pooping blood. He responded that it was normal and that he was fine. At 4:30 am, my dog passed away. This place should not be called ABC Animal Hospital; this place should be called ABC animal neglect.
Dr Tufuro does not care for your pet. He only cares for the money. You should be ashamed of yourself.
