Kantibhai Patel - Queens Animal Hospital

I needed a travel certificate to go to St. Martin's, and this office was close by with reasonable rates. It's been such a headache (don't travel with your pet if you can help it!), but the team at Queens Animal Hospital was amazing. Dr. Rafla was kind and patient. He looked up the requirements with me and made sure we had everything we needed. He explained everything to me, carefully and clearly. He obviously enjoys what he does and his bedside manner was excellent!

The staff were all equally caring and genuine. The front desk was super sweet, and interacted patiently with the children and pets.

Overall great experience to my pet travel headache. Thanks!!!

The veterinarians at this clinic saved our dog's life with their quick diagnostic tests, diagnose and medical/surgical intervention. We brought our dog in because he was vomiting. Turned out he had a ruptured gall bladder that was diagnosed through bloodtests, x-rays and ultrasound. If they had not done these tests and followed up with surgery, our dog would have died. Everybody: the vets, technicians, receptionists etc are caring, friendly and competent. The vet who did the surgery was a board certified surgeon. I like how responsive and compassionate they are, letting us call and visit our dog while hospitalized as often as we wished, they worked with us to keep everything affordable. I have nothing but the highest praise for this little clinic with a huge heart.

DR. BESHOY RAFLA AT QUEENS ANIMAL/VETERINARY HOSPITAL KILLED MY BABY DOG!!! I fell in love with a 3-month old male yorkie so I brought him for $1550 and named him Ajinko. One night, when I noticed Ajinko with labored breathing, I had rushed my poor baby to the Pearl Animal Hospital in Forest Hills since they are the only one open 24/7 in Queens where he was diagnosed with Aspiration Pneumonia. Of course, the hospital asked me for another 2200 as deposit for all the needed care and tests. I paid it as I just wanted my baby back healthy and well again. They even permitted me to go back to the rooms where the animals are treated to say goodnight to my baby and was impressed at how clean and clinical it looked with an impressive array of what looked like state of the art equipment.

I called the hospital the next day to find out about Ajinko’s condition and asked if I could transfer him to a vet nearer to my place. The Pearl Animal Hospital’s discharge papers indicated that my baby was doing better so I left him with Dr. Beshoy Rafla at the Queens Animal/Veterinary Hospital on 56-12 Roosevelt Avenue, Woodside, NY 11377 phone number (718) 672-9723. Before leaving, I asked to use their restroom and had to go through the back rooms and saw how badly maintained it was, smelling of feces and urine. I even inspected the animal cages and found some with animals sitting in their own bodily waste. One hour after I had left my baby with Dr. Rafla, I got a call from him informing me that he had injected antibiotics into my baby boy and that my baby boy started convulsing and that he was trying to resuscitate him. Then a few minutes after, an assistant called and informed me that my baby had DIED!!! ONE HOUR AFTER I HAD LEFT MY BABY WITH DR. RAFLA, HE WAS DEAD!!! I felt so distressed that I spent the whole afternoon crying, since I thought that if I had only left my baby at the Pearl Animal Hospital my baby would still be alive. I am still fuming at Dr. Beshoy Rafla for what surely is a case of animal medical malpractice. I still feel a sense of deep loss so I am now exploring what I can do to prevent this from happening to other animal lovers who might bring their pets to the Queens Animal/Veterinary Hospital one of which is to post this in all the vet review internet sites I can find . Again, DR. BESHOY RAFLA AT QUEENS ANIMAL/VETERINARY HOSPITAL KILLED MY BABY DOG!!!
