Garden City Veterinary Care Testimonials
Final Grade: A+
My dog has been a client of GCVC for 13 years. 'We' have
always been treated like VIPs and now that a new puppy is on
the scene, I look forward to at least 13 more years with the
wonderful staff at GCVC. We are always greeted with a big
smile, hugs and nose kisses for the dogs, and follow up
phone calls just to check in and say "hello". After a short
while, you feel like a member of their family! The staff,
technicians and of course DR RAYMOND POLLEY and DR. RIES are
wonderful to both the client and the 'human'. Their care and
concern for your pet is top notch. It is comforting to know
that your Veterinarian cares for your pet ALMOST as much as
you do! The facility is very clean and the waiting time is
minimal, usually no wait at all. You can take care of all
your pet's needs within the office...no need to go anywhere
else! There is more than enough parking and right next door
is the PET RESORT...a luxury hotel and Doggie Day Care for
the 4 legged members of your family.

The Right Place!
I used to live in Maryland and had a great Vet that I loved for my two cats.
When I moved to NY I was looking for the same combination of great care,
knowledgeable and sensitive staff, direct contact with a patient doctor, and
a super clean locale. I didn't realize this would be so hard to find. I took
my cats to several vets in the area (even to some places that friends
recommended) and was very disappointed and frustrated in all of them. One of
my cats was having some health issues and I was heartbroken that I felt none
of the vets cared about him but just treated him like a number… they
prescribed things they wouldn't explain, didn't take time to talk with me
about options, had small and cramped quarters, and were generally filthy and
smelly throughout the extent of the rooms. His conditions kept worsening and
he soon passed away. Soon afterwards I got a flyer from Garden City
Veterinary Care and decided to give them a try since I didn't want to take
my remaining cat back to any of the places I had already been.
From the minute I walked in the door I knew I had found the right place. For
starters, it is so much cleaner than any other vet I have ever been to...
even in the exam rooms there is no smell from other animals and my cat
actually came out of his carrier on his own for the first time ever while at
the vet. On my first visit they offered to give me a full tour of the
facility including the back operating/testing rooms... everything was
spotless, and all the rooms are extremely spacious and well maintained with
good lighting, large exam tables and modern equipment. Even more important
than the cleanliness is the treatment- the staff is super friendly and
caring, and the doctors are completely knowledgeable and also extremely
patient- every single visit they take the time to answer all my questions
and explain everything about the health of my cat. They offer complete
treatments and specialized services for all varieties of pet medical needs.
I had my cat receive dental work and small scale surgery there and they took
every effort to care for him exquisitely. I have been so happy and impressed
with their consistent excellence in care and services and I simply cannot
recommend them enough. Even on my very first visit I became an immediate
client for life- I will never take my cat anywhere else and only wish that I
had known about GC Vet Care for my other cat when he had needed help. If you
want your pet to receive both excellent treatment and to be cared for like
the family member he/she is- there is no question that this is the place to
go.
In addition to the Vet services, there is also a boarding option… while I
haven't used these services I did go on a full tour of the rooms and
reviewed their services- I can truthfully say if I ever had to board my pet
this is the only place I would turn to.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VET
We have 4 dogs and all of them are cared for at Garden CIty Vet. I can
walk in the door and the receptionist knows the dogs names and we are always
welcomed with a smile. We feel that our dogs are in great hands when they
are ill or just for routine check-ups. Thanks for being the best Garden
City!!!!
