have had no problems with Dr. Selkowitz while my dog was the ages of 3 mths to 11 years. That is because she was healthy. It’s not that difficult to take care of a healthy dog. When my dog turned 12 she was forced to see the new “DR” in the practice. After seeing this woman twice, my dog has never been in worse shape. My dog had a UTI that would go away. This genius re-prescribes her the same Medicine
she already failed on. The same antibiotic you’ve failed on is not going to work, even at a higher dose. Clearly a different class of antibiotics is needed that covers a different spectrum of bacteria. Im not a Dr.
And I can tell you that. After 4 days of doing what
This woman suggested, against my advice. My
Dog is worse than ever. My dog also has torn ligament and an orthopedist at the Westbury emergency vet put her on gabapentin. She’s been fine for years. This genius changes her medicine and when I call back Dr Selkowitz and say the new meds aren’t working, he says leave her on it. IEssentially, leave her in pain. I had to force him to switch
Antibiotics. She’s been a complete mess. For the first time
Ever I had to carry her up and
Down the stairs bc she was in too much pain to walk. I called the Westbury er and they said but he back
On the gabapentin immediately. I already see improvement. That Woman dr said gabapentin is only for nerves- it is actual a widely used medicine for dogs for all pain. A dog orthopedist
told me that. I am disgusted by this experience. My dog suffered needlessly for a week while I had constant anxiety attacks bc I was scared. My
Dog is 12 and I need a vet I am confident that
Can treat the problems of an aging dog, I have lost complete confidence in this practice and am switching immediately to make an animal suffer because you are ignorant and possess a lack of knowledge is ridiculous. I am not sure where that Woman’s credentials are from, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an online course. I have never met a vet that knows so little. also
I would like to mention, they are ridiculously overpriced. I
Paid two hundred dollars for my dog to be sicker than she has in her entire life.

As soon as I walked through the door, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They went out of their way to make me feel special and appreciated. They have some of the best customer service I have ever seen. Putting their customers first is definitely a priority here and it shows. They are always polite and never use foul language, which I really appreciate. It's always made me uncomfortable at other places when I've heard them use foul language, but they don't here. I know I can bring my kids, and not worry about it. The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. One thing I love about them, is that they're always willing to ask for other qualified professionals' advice when they don't have an answer for my question. I never have to worry about them giving me a wrong answer just because they weren't willing to ask for help. Love Dr. Selkowitz and staff. He loves animals and you can tell because he cares for your pet like it was his own. We are very lucky to have found him.
