Old Shore Animal Clinic Port Washington, New York

I am visiting the area from out of state and they were nice enough to take the time to add my dog as a patient so that my vet at home could send them a script for a medicine we ran out of. They were so happy to help and made the process super easy!!! So grateful! There is easy parking too!!!

Dr. Tell is absolutely the best Veterinarian I have ever been to. He has taken care of all my poodles with the most care and professionalism. He is kind and is always available. I can never express my gratitude for all he has done for my pets and me. Thank you. I will never forget.

I cannot thank Dr. Tell and his staff enough for their kind care of my dog. I have been to many vetenarian offices and choose to drive well over an hour for Dr Tells keen diagnostic ability as well as the entire staffs love and care. I would rate 1000 stars if I could.

The best Animal Clinic we've ever used!

Very nice Staffs Great services

Dr Tell is the best!

our dog went there when sick and got better from them

Had to bring our family dog of 19 years (almost 20!) in a few times in March because his health deteriorated rapidly his last month. Considering his age, it was recommended that we focus on his quality of life rather than 'fixing' his ailments since it would require invasive exams/surgery and anesthesia (which was all very high risk for a dog of his age). Steroid treatments were attempted, however, eventually he was unable to move on his own, stopped eating and barely drank any water. The difficult decision to euthanize our dog was made because it felt like he was ready to cross the rainbow while we were forcing him to stay because of our wish to be with him a little longer. Dr. Tell and his staff were all very compassionate throughout this process. My family and I appreciated it even more because this all happened right when Covid-19 quarantines/shutdowns just started. They even sent us a condolences card, made me and mom cry again.

As a pet parent and owner of a dog walking and pet sitting company in Port Washington, I've met many veterinarians and pet parents. I've personally had wonderful experiences with Drs. Tell & Berkowitz over the years with both my animals and pet clients. Everyone is wonderful, professional, compassionate and responsive. I highly recommend them!

Man has this place changed, new ownership has a complete lack of compassion and sense of community. Dr. Berkowitz would never have turned away a pet in need. This guy says he's too busy!! Big difference and not for the better.

Dr Tell is the best vet I have ever known. I have used him for many years at his previous office and now at Old Shore Animal Clinic. He is caring and an overall fantastic vet. He treats my dogs (Oliver & Toby) like his own and always follows up and checks up on them. I would be lost without him and can't say enough about how amazing him and his office is. Thank you for everything Dr. Tell :-)

Dr tell was very good with both my dog and cat

We had to say goodbye to our Golden Border Retriever yesterday. She was seen by Dr. Tell and Jackie on Monday and then, again, yesterday. Dr. Tell and Jackie were kind, caring, gentle, loving, and empathetic. Thanks to them, Zoe left this world painlessly with the dignity, respect, love, and kindness she deserved. Our surviving dog, a Goldendoodle, will continue to be treated at Old Shore Animal Clinic.

Quality vet. The best part about this place is that you can tell the employees care about what happens to my little one.

I love this place!???????? Dr. is amazing and friendly!! Always a great environment for my dog, very clean and great staff. I highly recommended this office!????????

The only vet I will take my pets to!!

Great Vet., very caring. Takes time to talk to you. Knows his stuff.

Dr. Berkowitz brings a level of care and attention to every animal that walks in his door as if they were his own. Every dog and cat in our family adores him and his whole staff. Our Golden Retrievers run to the car when you say you are going to the vet, and even our skittish cat has no issues going to The Old Shore Road Animal Clinic. Additionally, they do their best to work with our crazy schedules and his prices are always fair. When the unfortunate time comes that our beloved pets pass on, Dr. Berkowitz does an incredible job to make sure they are comfortable and go without fear and that we have a chance to say our goodbyes. I come from a family that considers our four legged companions part of the family and there is no one who I would trust more then Dr Jay Berkowitz with their care.

Dr Berkowitz is an excellent Veterinarian and a genuinely nice person. The entire staff at Old Shore are all helpful, kind and true animal lovers as well. Last but not least is the prices are very fair and reasonable. No hidden costs or mysteriously huge fee's or bills. Honest and trustworthy!

Dr. Tell is extremely knowledgeable in animal care. He is kind and thoughful and his staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed visting his clinic with our two family dogs.

Very nice people who care about your pet's well being.

One of the best animal doctors. Very caring highly recommended

Took my sick baby and the vet asked why I was willing to spend so much money as she was "going to die anyway"...

Dr Tell is most gentle Vet that I have had contact with. He takes his time with the pet and even has gotten our Otto to be comfortable with him. Otto was a rescue who is scared to death of men. This just show you the compassion Dr Tell has with animals.

I own a dog training and walking company here in Port Washington. I have met a lot of vets over the years being from Florida originally and moving here in 2015, Dr Berkowitz and now Dr. Tell have far exceeded my expectations. I know a lot about dogs, but they also teach me things every time I go. They have helped me with numerous medical problems with my dogs. My recent interaction with Dr. tell, losing my oldest, was actually a pleasant experience even though it was an unpleasant thing I had to do. I cannot say enough good things about this vet and the ladies in the office!! All of my clients I recommend to go here and they all have great things to say. You will not be disappointed and neither will your pet.

I am so glad to have found Dr. Tell again. He was my dog and cat’s first vet and he was the best!

It pains me to actually give this place a star when in reality it deserves ZERO. The most unfriendly and straight up NASTY receptionists at the front desk...small, cramped office with a HORRIFIC wait no matter what time of day it is. If you're going here, you better block out 3 hours for an appointment. $82.00 for a 3 minute visit with the doctor. Unbelievable. RUN as far away as possible.

My cats always get excellent medical care.

He was horrible. I took my cat in for a well care visit just wanting to get my cat on record with a new vet, as my old vet left the state. Dr. Berkowitz dragged her out of the carrier so roughly she was terrified, hair standing up all over her body. He didn't do much of an examination--didn't palpate her abdomen or do any blood draws (I don't even remember him using a stethoscope on her)--and he didn't give her even the legally required rabies vaccination. I was concerned about her weight, and he barely looked at her and said, "It's fine." (I asked a different vet, and she is, in fact, over weight.) He was snotty and condescending to me and obviously didn't care at all about my pet. Maybe he's good with dogs, but don't take your cat there.

Jay is Cornell Alumni! I’m grateful we have him in the neighborhood, and my Frenchie Uni certainly can’t complain anything for every vet visit.
