Dr Koroknai is thorough and never rushes; always answers your questions. He has proven to be very knowledgeable and never misses on his diagnoses. Dr Elahi on the other hand has been a nightmare. AVOID HIM if you care about your pet. He makes assumptions and misdiagnoses, gave the wrong medications in my experience with him, has bad time mgmt, rushes appt's, he's difficult to understand, he rambles and doesn't make sense with his reasons, he dismisses what you say, doesn't listen, doesn't ask for the health history of your pet, he jumps to conclusions, he's lied to cover his mistakes and blamed me for his misdiagnoses, he avoids my questions and dismissed my concerns. Dr Koroknai defended him, amazingly even though Elahi has bad reviews on Yelp. When he doesn't know what to do or fix his mistakes, he tells you to go to emerge and claims that he's obligated to recommend tgatfor the safety of your pet. He knows how to squirm out of situations to avoid accountability, it's disturbing.

The Doctors Koroknai are caring, gentle and very knowledgeable. They take time to answer our questions and explain any treatments or medications needed. Support staff are also very helpful and friendly, both with pets and the owners.

Great staff..all the vets really care about the animals and their owners take the time to explain everything and take things a step at a time instead of burying you with bills.....they really care not just in it for the money...have taken 7 cats to them in the past 5 years wouldn't go anywhere else...2 thumbs up to them and thanks for the great care and compassion

While I have never been to this veterinary hospital, a good friend of mine took her dogs there regularly. When her dog died she filed a court action claiming negligence against Dr. Attila Koroknai.
Insurance settlements are often accompanied by gag orders. To protect my friend I cannot say what the outcome of the case was.
However, I had access to all the information about the case prior to a court ordered settlement conference. Several veterinarians, testified that, in their expert opinion, Dr. Koroknai was negligent. In other words, they said he failed to provide a duty of care required of a professional. The result, unfortunately was tragic.
My observations from the record were that this Dr. kept very sloppy notes and his handwriting was illegible. Experts complained about poor record keeping.
If you continue to use this vet, make sure you keep assiduous records of appointment dates & times, diagnoses, treatments, imaging/lab results. You may need them in the future.

Staff cancelled my dog's dental cleaning 18 hrs before his appointment. So unprofessional!!! This is the second incident I have had with staff due to a lack of proper communication. Sure, the excuse used today was his blood work and heart murmur, but WTF?!!! I had asked the doctor a month ago when I MADE the appointment to confirm if the blood work that they had recently taken on file was sufficient to go ahead. No problem was the answer.Why take a month to get back to me if they had a change of heart? Yes, they may have some valid reasons for cancelling but right now this just seems more like a potential cash grab, with staff citing the need for more blood work, possibly X-rays and another month to wait after for a new appointment for his teeth. Oh, and there's the day off tomorrow this has cost me on top of everything else Screw this, I WILL NOT be coming back to this vet

Brought my cat in today to find out she has Pyrometra, and in in urgent need of surgery or she could die..you know what they told me"we cant tell other people to wait to do a surgery for your cat, you;ll have to wait 3 weeks, or you can just go look for another vet" yah ...and that was said after they pocketed $400 for xrays and bloodwork, apparently the reception books emergency appointments when the vet is on vacation for 3 weeks, but fails to mention all that until after the fact..they then informed me ts a tech on staff and he cannot perform surgery's.... currently I am now looking for a vet to do the surgery., you would think they would give back the $400...nope....thieves ... apparently when the owner is away., the staff ROB

Dr Koroknai helped care for our cats for 5 years. His care and compassion was great, and we always got the impression he truly cared for the animals he looked after. He was always patient and tolerant, both towards the animals, as well as their owners. One of our cats, sadly, came down with a rare condition and had to be euthanized. Dr. Koroknai helped our cat pass on without pain and stress. Everyone at the clinic does seem to really like animals, and while the staff may sometimes seem aloof on the phone, in reality it is usually because they are busy attending to patients at the clinics, signing them in, processing payments, getting together medications & explaining prescriptions.

Vet very good with cats - always had good experiences. You can call in to follow-up (instead of booking another appointnment - hence saves money). Today, I called because my cat got injured in a fight. Couldn't see me before Tuesday so recommended another vet to me for an emergency appointment and said they would send any info as required - I find this very professional.

My dog is in serious pain today (tues). She had been in an accident last year and this weekend she seems to have re-injured herself. So I called Bathurst Dupont Animal Hospital just a few minutes ago and asked if I could PLEASE bring in my dog for some urgent pain management and they said first chance to come in is next monday! Sorry BDAH but you should remove "HOSPITAL" from your name when you aren't one. A week to see a dog in pain just does not cut it.

I am so glad that I went to this vet clinic for a second opinion on my cat's dental procedure. Dr. Koroknai is knowledgeable and spoke to me in plain language. More importantly, unlike the first vet clinic I went to, Bathurst Dupont does not charge you for uneccessary procedures. My cat has since had his canine extraction and is doing well. I highly recommend this clinic and will be taking my cats here from now on.

We had to put my beloved cat to sleep due to kidney failure today. We had been taking our pets (we have 1 other cat and 1 dog) to St. Clair Vet and don't have good things to say about it. The doctors and staff that work there are rude, rushed and do not give thorough explanations for the high fees they charge for their services. We read great reviews about Dr. Koroknai so we decided to take our ailing cat in to see him and we're very glad we did. He was superb at thoroughly explaining the condition our cat was in and the options that were available. He was empathetic, patient and a realist. His staff were very accommodating, patient and understanding. We can't say enough great things about Dr. Koroknai and his staff. I would recommend this clinic to everyone! Our sweetheart Oreo went peacefully and painlessly today. He will be dearly missed. Bathurst/Dupont Animal Hospital is such a professional place and their pricing is very reasonable for the quality service you get.

I can't say enough good things about this vet. I have been dealing with Dr. A. Koroknai for 3 years now. My cat was diagnosed with kidney disease 3.5 years ago and my former vet gave her 6 months to 2 years max, that was over 3 years ago now and with Dr. K's care she is doing amazing still! I consider myself SO lucky to have found them. They offer a lot of unique and affordable homeopathic treatments in addition to the traditional meds that I feel has made a huge difference. You can really tell that Dr. K has a genuine love for your animal and he takes the time to explain everything. My cat is less than friendly and previous vets have not known how to handle her but she actually is so good with him. I would give this vet 2 huge thumbs up!!Heather Koroluk

I've heard great things about this clinic, however My experience with Dr. S was not great. Within 5 minutes of the appointment (before even examining my dog) he was recommending surgery for a torn ACL. He was speaking very technically to me as though I'd have no idea, and didn't need to concern myself with what that actually meant. He barely interacted with my dog and then gave my partner's puppy a multivaccine when all he wanted was a rabies booster. Unfortunately we didn't notice until we were home. And to top it off, the receptionist was rude to us. I'm not planning on going back.

This vet hospital was recommended to me by a friend & someone at work (strangers to eachother). The first visit with my cat was in 97 or 98. The thing that brings me back to this hospital is I noticed how much they cared for animals. I believe they treat my cat as their own. When my cat is sick Bathurst Dupont is the only hospital I trust. Dr. K is the best vet I know & the staff is the most caring.

I have been using this clinic with my puppy for the past 6 months and originally picked this vet because of the great ratings. They do offer exceptional monetary value - they are significantly cheaper than other vets in Toronto. Dr K is brilliant - very knowledgeable, friendly, caring, patient , does not rush the appointment, answers all your questions, makes welcome suggestions, and does not try to 'up sell' you. BUT he is not there as much any more and Dr Saini is definitely not as good. Dr S seems to rush the appointment, doesn't explain things well, doesn't seem that caring - I often leave him feeling confused and not satisfied. The receptionists are friendly but there are too many of them, so they often don't know what is another staff member has already told you and their veterinary knowledge is not great. The clinic itself is simple but sufficient. I would recommend this clinic if you need a cheaper option and try to only see Dr K.

The prices are very reasonable, and we've been going to this clinic for a long time... but now that Dr. K. isn't there every day, things are going downhill. There are some afternoons that there is not a single vet on the premises! Dr. Saini is not nearly as clear about explaining things as Dr. K. My dog had a bad episode from a drug interaction - the vets obviously didn't check the file to see what drugs he was already on. I'm seriously considering changing vets even though I'll have trouble affording the new one. But I don't want to compromise my pet's care. I'm becoming fed up with this clinic.

Simple small vet office, just like they should be! Small clinic with great staff and they are very reasonable with their costs. I once had a cat in to be spayed that I had adopted from the humane society (they told me she hadn't been spayed), and when Dr K took her in and opened her up, she had been spayed already. He was wonderful and understanding, and charged me only the most basic of fees. They're great with the animals, big and small, and always friendly!

Dr. A. Koroknai was recommended to me by my friend and I'll forever be grateful to her. My poor little dog had been misdiagnosed by my previous vet. Not convinced of the plan of action I went with my friend to see Dr. A. Koroknai. Our relationship only lasted 2 months as my dog's little heart stopped beating after exploratory surgery to get to the root of the sickness, but I knew from our first visit that he was going to become my new vet! He didn't jump on the previous wagon and suggest several hundreds of dollars of useless procedures; he tried several strengths of antibiotics before resorting to the surgery; and on the day of the surgery, kept me informed hourly. Unfortunately I didn't make it back in time to see my doggie alive, but I know that we all did all we could do and he didn't suffer. I'm sorry I cried so much in his office, but I'll never forget Dr. K. & his team & will recommend them to anyone I know with pets. Thanks, Connie (for Stinky)

I felt good and so did my cats. The facilitis are clean and everything was efficient without compromising that personal touch. I only went as I had recently moved to the neighbourhood and I am very pleased with this vet.

This place is terrific! The staff are friendly and helpful, the prices are affordable and the vet loves my cat - what more can I ask for! I reccommend this hospital to all my friends and anyone who is sick of being charged for unnecessary expenditures.
