They’re a great trustworthy and caring vet. I’d highly recommend. I’m always happy I went there after I leave which is a good feeling.
My daughters took our dog in to see Dr. Deme because our dog was not sleeping, was pacing all night long, and was just not acting normal. We figured that it was an ear infection, because this had happened once before. Dr. Deme checked his ears and said it’s not an ear infection. He claimed it was anxiety. He prescribed a medication, and when they asked him what the medication was, he looked it up on Google. Two days later, after the pill did not work, my daughter called the office and asked to bring the dog back to see Dr. Deme because she felt it really had to be an infection in his inner ear. Dr. Deme was rather rude and told her that his ears look clear otherwise they would be red. He then told her that it may be a neurological issue. My daughter had explained that this had happened once before to him, and it was his inner ear and asked if he could please give him an antibiotic.
After arguing with her, he did agree to clean the ears, and give our dog an antibiotic. It was a little strange to her, that he took the dog in another room, to clean the ears and give the antibiotic and would not let her be present. Why she wasn’t allowed to watch, is beyond us. Over $300 later, and after he listened to my daughter, the dog is now back to his normal self and sleeping with no issues. It just amazes me that my daughter diagnosed the dog better than the doctor. The bedside manner was unacceptable. Had he looked into the records of our dog, he would’ve seen that this issue had happened in the past, and maybe it would’ve been taken care of the first time instead of having to spend money on another appointment two days later. This experience was just awful, and we will not be bringing our dog back there. We would never put our dog through that again; Very unprofessional!
So we had another Vet we used to go to (Banfield). Recently, our puppy Juliette was not doing well – not eating and very lethargic. We were really concerned. And our prior vet just would not make time for us even though we tried for 2 days. Then we called Mineola Animal Hospital. Despite being new clients, they took us right away. And more importantly, they made our puppy feel better (who was clearly in a lot of pain). Everyone was so nice to us – even carried her to and from our car. And the veterinarian was so sweet – took plently of time to explain everything to us. Not rushed. This is our new place – we highly recommend it!!
