The Cat Doctor - Vestal (NY)

Veronica lundstrom Dr. Bennett is very knowledgeable and not just in what he specializes in. He has a sympathetic bedside manner, as he actively listens to all your concerns and connects the dots. He doesnt push anything and he is patient. When we discuss new treatment plans, I am always unsure & usually need time to think it through or read, and he understands. I know Im in good hands with Dr. Bennett.

mike maione I would like to thank everyone of the health care people who took care of my wife. Professional, caring for her well being, and extremely nice

Rebekah Cohrs It feels like youre going into a forgotten basement cave when you go in. Just the rooms themselves are so cramped and dated, it definitely does not feel like youll be a priority. I challenge John Carrigg to send his loved ones there. I doubt he would. The nurses all were kind, I was impressed with their care. Thats literally the only positive though. Its been well over a full day with no updates. One Dr spoke to me to get background info almost 24 hours ago at this point. At that time she said Id hear back in a few hours. I waited hours with a patient hoping to get an update, still nothing. Had there been any other feasible option Id be gone in a heartbeat. The lack of social workers or advocates there to assist people unable to make informed decisions on their own there is appalling. I was with a patient and actively seeking answers and got none. What on earth about all those going in with no loved ones to assist? Its like theyre in a black hole where their only use is for the hospital to pad their income through multiple tests that no one ever gets the results to. Again, immediate staff, nurses, guards, I was impressed with their empathy and caring, but they definitely seem to be stuck under the typical issue of out of touch upper management whom assuredly would go to the new Wilson wing if they needed to get treated. If you go here seeking mental health treatment for you or a loved one I am quite sure youll leave scarred from the experience and with new issues to deal with in therapy. This place does not end the cycle, it perpetuates it.

Phillips Stone The doctors and nurses are so wonderful here and they truly care about you. They do everything they cant to get you feeling better - they always go above and beyond. Friendly and funny and bright - you couldnt ask for a better crew of people to take care you.

Alba Traoz Even if youre 100% service-connected permanent & permanent/total, I do not recommend this clinic. If you are a women & are assigned Dr. Webster, I absolutely recommend changing doctors immediately. He doesnt understand really anything about psychiatry beyond "just think positive thoughts". I dont know why a doctor would be clueless as to why anxiety is increased when youre told you have ONE TO TWO YEARS LEFT ON THIS EARTH. I might not even make it to my daughters graduation. Now Dr. Webster is on a revenge quest to make sure I receive absolutely no help as a 100% service-connected permanent & total disabled veteran for PTSD. In fact, he is going out of his way to make it even harder. Im a stage 4 cancer patient but Dr. Webster wants to ensure whatever time I have lepton earth is absolutely miserable, he wants me to stay chained to my bed until I die. The ONLY reason I have late-stage cancer is their refusal to listen to me about my symptoms for years. Told me I didnt need a Pap smear for five years. I came with late stage cancer. Now, Im being punished & lied about for switching doctors. I tried to switch doctors years ago but this doctor told me it wasnt possible. I found out, years later that it actually is possible. Then I read his notes & he has made such a false statements, Im left with no choice but to take action via an advocate. Im filing a complaint about this doctor with every agency I need to in New York State. Im looking into legal options on how to get this lie removed from my medical records. I also have a line in with my state senator & have been asked to explain everything to them in detail, which I will absolutely be doing. This "psychiatrist" has accused me of being a drug-seeker for trying to get help with autism & ADHD. Autism doesnt even involve medication. He also said Im not autistic because I "have empathy & can make eye contact." This means he is totally uneducated about autism. Autistic people have empathy & the eye contact I do make is FORCED & UNCOMFORTABLE but if I dont make eye contact, Im labeled "rude" or a "liar" so I HAVE NO CHOICE. He doesnt even KNOW women are misdiagnosed & struggle getting a diagnosis until theyre adults. His PTSD "treatment" is literally "just try to think positive thoughts". He was absolutely baffled as to why I had increased anxiety after being diagnosed with STAGE FOUR CANCER. Now since he has passed these lies onto my new "doctor", they are making sure that they make my quality of life, whatever life I do have left, as miserable as possible. Its like THIS VA IS INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO LET ME DIE. I am so disgusted over the outright provable lies this man has said about me, all because I switched doctors because this man refuses to listen or hear me out in any way, which, the VA not listening to me is the ONLY reason the cancer is even a thing. They did nothing to help me in any way & are now actively harming me. This clinic is a total nightmare. I have only known of one single good person there in the entire almost 15 years Ive been going to this VA. You are truly putting your life in what I believe to be extremely incompetent hands. They are the only reason I have to be scanned every 90 days for cancer cells for the rest of whatever life I have left. They are making my quality of life as miserable as possible because my infusions cost them $22k every 45 days.

Michael Dellacorino Dr. Federico is by far one of the best physicians. He takes his time with his patient, has a very calm demeanor. He is very attentive and listens to his patient. Gives positive and constructive advise. I feel he always gives an honest answer. The staff is all great too. You can tell they are all committed professionals. Keep up the good work. Highly recommend Dr. Federico!!!

William Parsons They help a lot of people.

Jack Straw Im not at all sure why this place is getting low reviews. What people dont seem to understand about getting clean and/or sober is that professionals like them cant help you if you dont want to listen, and put into practice what they tell you. Also, I had my best (completely voluntary, THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS FACILITY) Bible study groups here that Ive ever had, and the mandatory groups themselves I thought were quite progressive in their approach, and well moderated. Listen, if you accept the help they offer and *really* mean it, you can begin your journey of recovery here. I did, and Ill have two years of sobriety in a couple weeks.I really couldnt have done it without this place either. They were a "port in a storm when I needed one the most. It was here that I also saw what my future could have in store for me if I kept up with my self-destructive ways. That fear then turned into motivation, and I havent lost it yet. Nor will I.

Jordan Traut-Jellad Everyone here is so kind and compassionate. They treated me and Taco with so much respect, including using an ear thermometer for my cat’s comfort and not charging me for services and products my pet did not actually need — which is so appreciated as a student with little extra to spend! Thank you!
