AAAAA+++++ This place was our saving grace we have a 15 year old Pit Bull mix. We thought she had an abscess in her mouth. We were told by another vet that didn't do a proper exam that wanted $2000 to pull teeth. We immediately formed a relationship ... at D. Kolbert's office with the receptionist. She gave us an appointment. When Dr. Kolbert did his thorough exam he realized it wasn't a tooth abscess it was a tumor that was growing on the inside of her cheek. He gave us our options we decided to take a chance and have the surgery. He did the surgery that day we didn't have to come back!During his surgery he removed skin tags the dog had on her eye and body and cleaned her teeth. He truly cares for these animals. He was a life saver and they don't charge you and arm and a leg. We are truly grateful. Everything came to $1200. The office even gave us cell phone numbers to contact them if we had any issues. Thank you!! Read more

Dr. Infernuso and his staff are beyond spectacular!  They are supportive, understanding, patient and go the extra mile in so many ways.  Dr. Infernuso explained the surgery he performed in great detail, and took more time to understand and evaluate m ... y pup than I've ever experienced in my life at any vet. The comfort he made me feel during that stressful period truly made the entire experience smoother and easier.  He was exceptionally gentle and thorough during every visit, including before, during and after the surgery.  My pup recuperated exceptionally quickly and I attribute that to Dr. Infernuso's brilliance, experience and patience.  I highly recommend Dr. Infernuso!!!

This place is fantastic! My mother was frantically searching all over long island for a place that would perform an emergency surgery on her feral cat. Everyone said no except for Dr. Steven Kolbert who was gracious enough to accept this cat. Not onl ... y did he save this cat's life but did it for an extremely affordable price. Thank you so much to everyone involved including a lovely receptionist in Glen Cove who recommended this location. Outstanding job! Read more

Took both my dogs here to get spayed and not only was it a fraction of the price my vet was going to charge, it was a wonderful experience.  My dogs were treated kindly and very well taken care of. Upon leaving, I was given directions for care, and a ... cell phone number to call in case of emergency. The staff was friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my dogs there. I would highly recommend this place! Read more

My small dog just had ACL surgery from Long Island Animal Surgery. The doctor and staff were so friendly and accommodating. They were very thorough with the explanation of what the surgery would entail, along with the recovery process. I was very com ... fortable leaving my dog with them. I feel that they truly care about the animals that they treat. I highly recommend them. Read more

Dr. Steven Kolbert is among the best.  His practices include Long Island Animal Surgery in Patchogue, Glen Cove Animal Clinic and Bayville Animal Clinic.We've brought several generations of our dogs, who are important members of our family, to him fo ... r both routine & urgent care.  He & his staff are smart, sensitive & extremely competent. They're always willing to accommodate special appt needs wherever possible. For instance, today we had an urgent situation with one of our Siberian Huskies. They were at their Patchogue Surgi-Center, which is not our usual office but yet his staff was quick to accommodate us.I wrote this review today to both thank Dr Kolbert and to address the several poor reviews seen on Yelp.  They baffle both my family and me.  Everyone I know who brings their adored pets to Dr Kolbert are more than satisfied and so are we.  Highly recommended!

I brought my 4 week old GSD pup to LIAS for surgery to correct an extremely rare congenital defect called Atresia Ani with concurrent rectovaginal fistula.Her colon membrane didn't open up when she was born and this kept her colon sealed, which resul ... ted in a rupture into her vaginal canal.  She was defecating via her vagina and correcting the condition requires a long, complicated, and expensive microsurgical procedure.Not only was my quote from LIAS less than half of what other veterinary surgical businesses quoted, my pup was scheduled almost immediately, the aftercare and follow-up calls showed me they truly cared about the well being of the animals they see.Instead of having our baby euthanized based on prohibitive cost, she had her surgery and is now thriving two weeks post-op with no common side effects (fecal incontinence / rectal prolapse).  At two weeks of age she was donated to a USMC Veteran in NC to be a PTSD service dog- without LIAS this gift would not have been possible.Thank you from Freida and Folkvangr Kennels from the bottom of our hearts!

I took my dog to a highly recommended vet in the Hamptons . Once I arrived my dog was taken in the back room by a vet tech and I never saw a vet. He had pre-op blood work, given antibiotic, was cleared for a very overdue dental cleaning and extractio ... ns for facial swelling. The morning of the surgery we returned to this Hamptons vet ready for surgery and was then told they would clean his teeth, but would only pull single or double rooted teeth. Maybe it would help?? I was confused, we originally reached out to this vet for a bad tooth and infection. Since he's an older dog and I didn't want to put him under anesthesia twice. I went out to my car and made a few calls. Long Island Animal Surgery patiently answered all my neurotic questions and was able to fit him into their very busy schedule.  To make matters worse now I was really late for work L.I.A.S. made drop off a breeze. They took him right off, cleaned his teeth and pulled his molar and called me to let me know he was ready to go home. When I picked him up, Milo was no worse for wear, without missing a beat he came home gobbled up his food and returned to being my husband faithful side kick. The vet tech and vet were awesome, I highly recommend this place! Thank you All! See you all next yr! Read more

This place is amazing!! I took my Boston Terrier to my regular vet because she had a protrusion on her stomachs area. My vet told me it was a mass and had to be surgically removed. He then sent in an assistant with an estimate of $1700! I decided to ... get a second opinion and came to Long Island Animal Surgery. The entire staff made you so comfortable, like you were seeing old friends.. Anyway, they took my girl in and within 10 seconds of feeling the area, the vet described it as being more of an infection, not a mass as my vet had stated. It was soft, not hard like a mass would be. Well they proceeded to do a fine needle aspiration and drain the area. Immediately the bulge went down. He sent me home with 2 weeks of antibiotics and a few days of warm compress therapy, and poof! It was gone. This procedure cost me a little over $100. I'm mentioning the dollar amount because even though I would have somehow found the money to fix my baby girl, it would have to been a little difficult to scrape together. I was extremely upset my original vet would put my baby through an unnecessary surgery. I had a two week follow up with Long Island Animal Surgery and all is well with my Boston. I am so relieved she didn't have to have surgery as well as saving me a ton of money! I would highly recommend this place for any of your animal emergency/ surgery needs! Read more
