Long Branch Animal Clinic

Wonderful clinic. Incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, friendly, and all-around fantastic team! They genuinely care about your fur babies as if they were their own. They will work with you to provide the best care possible, and actually take time to explain any questions you have. I haven't met anyone who hasn't loved this clinic and the amazing team of women who make it the fantastic place it is!

My cat has been newly diagnosed with diabetes and the whole process of buying syringes and insulin is new to me. Usually, I buy it from my vet but I work in the area and decided to grab it from Long Branch Clinic. The lady in the front seemed very busy and I got the feeling I was bothering her when I tried to ask her any questions. The female vet was very nice and came out and brought me the insulin. I was surprised when I was asked for $54.02 for insulin and 20 syringes that normally cost me $25.50. I asked her surprised whether it was a double dosage, but again she rushed me away saying she thought I spoke with the vet and that she didn't know. I understand my cat isn't a patient here and buying prescription isn't their priority but anyone new walking in should be explained that there is a $30 refill fee which is NOWHERE STATED ON THE RECEIPT. They simply included it in the cost of the insulin. My mistake was leaving and not checking the dosage size, but at that point I was sitting there for 15 min and late for work. When I called later to verify I was given a simple sorry, nothing we can do and that every clinic charges this fee. NOT TRUE, I called another clinic down the street and was given a much smaller total. Charging me $30 for a $9 prescription is completely ridiculous and I feel ripped off!

In ten years my dog has been to two veterinarians, this is our third for reasons of practicality. First time that I took my old fella (dog) for a visit for a minor injury, they were very gentle with him and not pushy about his expired "shots." Took him back for his shots and the young veterinarian was very nice and put together a detailed file of my fella which I wasn't expecting as other vets have never asked questions about him. She and the other staff did whatever they could to put my fella at ease to the extent that's possible. In all honesty, they fawned over him as soon as he walked in the door until the time we left. Hours of operation make for easy appointments. They also provide individualized treatments for the specific animal when needed and mixed on site so when my fella needs additional protection, all I have to do is call. All in all, great service.

No problems whatsoever with the administrative side, and Dr. Zimmerman was sure to address any concerns I had. For example, none of my cat's previous vets would bother explaining to me why my cat has chronic eye discharge, but here I finally got both an explanation for it and a treatment suggestion. During the appointment, I felt like my cat was in very good hands.

I have a senior cat that pretty much does not like anyone but her family. Needless to say she is very stressed when it is time for her annual checkup. The doctors and staff at the Long Branch Animal Clinic are so understanding and caring even when my old cat is not being her friendliest. I would highly recommend this clinic.
