A Practice Where Future Veterinarians Can Thrive/Learn/Grow!

Welcome to West Hempstead Animal Hospital! We’re delighted to have you with us. Our hospital offers a wide range of services, from vaccinations, health certificates, and disease prevention to orthopedics and cardiology. We also provide complete dental care, weight management consultations, soft tissue surgery, and diagnosis and treatment of internal medicine cases. We’re proud to care for dogs, cats, and other pocket pets.

Our team is made up of friendly, caring, and highly trained professionals who are passionate about making you and your pet feel welcome. From the moment you arrive, our receptionists will greet you warmly, and our licensed veterinary technicians are always ready to support our doctors in providing the highest quality care. Our experienced doctors are dedicated to giving your pet the best, most up-to-date medical and surgical care in our modern, state-of-the-art hospital. Many of our staff members have been part of our family for years, so you’ll always see familiar, friendly faces. With advanced medical equipment, in-house laboratory diagnostics, and digital radiology, we’re prepared to deliver top-quality care for every patient. We’re also proud to have been named 2021 Best Veterinarian of Nassau County!

Living here means you’re just 20 minutes from Penn Station on the LIRR, so commuting into Manhattan is a breeze. At the same time, everyday life in West Hempstead feels relaxed and welcoming. After work, you can take a peaceful walk or run in Hempstead Lake State Park, or enjoy the sun and surf at the South Shore beaches for a refreshing change of scenery. West Hempstead truly gives you the best of both worlds—the excitement of the city nearby, with the comfort and friendly atmosphere of a community you’ll love to call home.
