I don’t recommend taking your love ones here, not even my worse enemy. My dog was sick for 2 days already took her to the vet before being referred to this place, I thought my bay girl just had a cold or some sort of viral infection or something and if I would’ve educated myself and read about this place I know she would’ve been still alive. As soon as I got there they brought me into a room closed door discussing how everything works, they took her in the back room for assessment and not long after I was told that they needed to keep her overnight and give her a blood transfusion due to her blood count being low but before they can proceed with the procedure 75% of $4500, I’m already frantic and distraught with her prognosis so they internal medicine team and we will be in contact over the next few hours to discuss further. said for me to go home and they’ll contact me Good morning, this is a morning update on your dog from GSVS. She was stable overnight and appeared comfortable this

Dr Gibson is a hack. She could not have been less interested in talking to me or my dog who is severly ill. When I asked her to explain issues, she shook her head and walked out of the room. She has an attitude and has to come off her high horse. Terrible , terrible doctor. The rest of the staff is great. She is by far, the bad apple. Stay away from her and meet with the nother wonderful doctors at this place.

We have been going to Dr. Goodwin in cardiology for a few years and are very happy. He has extende our dog's life and quality. She has many heart problems being treated very well. Dr. Goodwin gets right down on the floor with her, makes her feel comfortable and does all the testing himself. It is very expensive, but luckily we have insurance. We trust Dr. Goodwin implicitly and wouldnt go anywhere else. Unfortunately, the scheduling is not that good and we usually wait quite a long time. Office staff a little cold but the vet is great

I took a 10 year old dog to them and said I wanted to have her put down. They insisted she could be treated. They gave me a doagnosis and when I pciked her up she looked OK. THEN they told me I would need to bring her back once a month for a $ 300.00 injection ($ 3,600 per year) or she would die. I took her home and within 2 weeks (before the first injection was to be scheduled) she dropped dead on the floor. TOTAL COST - $ 4,000.00. They didn;t tell me about the monthly cost until I picked her up AFTER they called saying she was fine.

I took my dog there in Dec 2011. They do not care about the pets. They only want the $. As soon as you walk in they tell you a fee (in my case $2500- $3500). My wonderful basset stayed there 2 nights. They gave her a transfusion and had to have used her a pin cushion. Dr Worwag has no concept that pets are family members and could not understand when I told her that my Lola thought we abandoned her there and that was why she was not responding. I also don't know why they had to have an internist and oncologist and then a pathologist to confirm cancer other than to charge 3 times for the same diagnosis. Very bruntly I was told she had 24- 48 hrs but they wanted to continue to keep her.. I told them my girl was going to die at home with family in a loving environment. We did have to put her down 4 days later and my local vet was barely able to find a vein to euthanize her. Who knows what they did to her. Lola passed still wagging her tail. I will NEVER go there again

Not very professional; more interested in making a buck than in showing compassion. The cardiologist there said my cat was "cured" of congestive heart failure and no longer needed meds. The vet in Red Bank said CHF can be controlled but is not curable and taking my cat off meds would be a death sentence....Under Red Bank's care, he lived with a good quality of life for two and a half years (on meds). Thank God my gut feeling told me the GSVH vet was way off base. Facility looks very sloppy when you walk in.

Garden State has saved many of our rescue dogs. Dr Scavelli is amazing & truly cares. He has saved numerous dogs that other vets thought couldnt be saved. I would never have anyone else touch my rescue dogs or my personal dogs.Any speciality hospital in the tri state area is expensive.. but not many of them actually care.. Garden State is the best in NJ. Ask any surgeon about Tom Scavelli & they will all say he is the best in the field. having been in the rescue world for many years I have seen my share of bad vets & hospitals but Garden State is sure NOT one of them.

My boyfriend's cat died after receiving anesthesia prior to surgery here. We were told afterwards that the cat did not receive any pre-anesthesia testing to make sure he could tolerate it. Their reception area is very sloppy and the vets all look confused. If you live in the Tinton Falls area and love your pet, go to Red Bank.

Unfortunately this hospital has too many interns on staff, charges for treatments without approval and base their entire business on other good doctors pre-existing relationships, are arrogant and insensitive to a pets quality of life and could care less on whether the treatment they prescribe will torture your pet in the process. The head Dr. Who runs the place has forgotten about why he started in the business to begin with. It's clearly a business for him at this point in his life, otherwise he would insist on making changes in their procedures, customer service, attitude and overall human decency. How can they leave critical decisions to very inexperienced interns. Why hasn't The State Of New Jersey Investigated them for allowing unqualified interns act like doctors. Why doesn't the State Of New Jersey pass a law requiring animal hospitals to treat pets in emergency care situations if the money is not there !

dr. demarco diagnosed my dog with the wrong disease. She said he had itp a disease that is diagnosed by exclusion but failed to do an echocardiogram or xray. my dog died because of her. he was taking drugs that he did not need. he died from heart disease (we had an autopsy)which could have been controlled by the right medications, a healthy diet and excercise. but she failed to look at the whole entire body. it took him 3 months to die. he was only 5 years old. we specifically went to her because of his breathing and she recommended the palatal surgery that pugs usually get. meanwhile difficulty breathing is a sign of heart disease and she did not check his heart. do not go to her she might diagnose your dog with the wrong disease. when your dog is sick and it has an autoimmune disease make sure you have a vet check them from head to toe. i trusted her and it was the wrong thing to do!
