St Francis Animal Hospital - vets and staff are best in Brooklyn!!!!!! Dr. thompson, the other vets and staff are amazing wonderful people. They are not about the money. They do have to get paid for their services. Just as u would go to a personal physical there is a cost involved. You chose to have a pet and along with that comes the responisability and cost for that animals care. If u could not afford a pet or the care it needed then you should not have gotten one...

Uncompassionate. My dog was viciously attacked by another dog, she was in shock and bleeding profusely, I called St, Francis at 7;15p,m. and was told the doctor will see my dog but if the dog needs stitches she will have to send me elsewhere because she had to leave. I explained the severity of the attack. They insisted the doctor had to leave and that she would just check the dog then send her elsewhere. I will ... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 6/3/2009

Nasty Techs/Receptionist but Okay Doctors! I know many people who go here and the majority of the complaints are that the technicians are very rude and unprofessional (I have heard very foul language, explicit conversations, don't seem to want to help, standing around, not helpful, attitudes and sloppy appearance). I have called there a few times and was flabbergasted when I was greeted with an attitude or half ass answers. To get in cont... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 11/19/2008
Excellent Vet, not so friendly staff The staff here hardly ever smiled, like someone's done them something wrong. No service at all, don't think they can keep up with the competitive market, but their vets are the best! Very personable and friendly especially Dr. Thompson, she's very informative and watch out for your budget as well. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 10/3/2008
Best vet Dr. Stephen Brigande is the best vet I've ever met. His compassion, knowledge, patience, and genuine love for animals makes him so special. The entire staff at St. Francis is top-notch. After each and every visit, they call the next day, to check in---even if we took our dog just for a check-up! We have a German Shepherd, and they easily accommodate a dog of his size, and Dr. Brigande takes h... Read More On CitysearchSkylarker 7/27/2008
Amazing Vet, Wonderful Staff Dr. Thompson is hands down the best vet I've encountered. She is patient and informative and very thorough. The staff is great, they clearly love animals.
This vet is not in my neighborhood and I take a car there, just because I know it's the best vet in Brooklyn. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 6/24/2008
Words can not express... What is in my heart I don't have the words to express. I have been going to St. Francis for years. And yes as they are expensive but who puts a price on the unconditional love you get from your Friend and companion? St. Francis Animal Hospital is fare and treats their patients fairly and with love. My best friend, my loyal companion of 17 wonderful blessed years, my cocker spaniel Alliee was put ...

Great Vets and Staff While the services are fairly expensive, the vets will work around your budget. They always let you know what is absolutely needed for your pet, and are very honest about it. I took my cat here just today to be neutered, and after explaining that I didn't want to spend more than $200, they axed several of their planned testing from their original estimate. My advice: Never neuter or spay an anima... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 11/2/2007
Overpriced I always take my cat to Animal Kind in Park Slope. He is old now and has had some health problems so he is on a special diet. I live close to 13th Avenue, so I called to see how much the case of c/d would be if purchased from them. they informed it woud be $42 for a case and that I would also need to have my cat checked out by their vet first. I get the same case for $32 from Animal Kind. So ob... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 11/2/2007
The Best Vet in the world! They are saints! Dr. Steven Brigande is truly one of the best doctors out there. Not only is he intelligent and professional but he is a genuine person with a heart of gold. He was able to diagnose our dog with Lupus and Lyme Disease when other vets had misdiagnosed our dog. With the proper diet and medications he gave us an extra 5 years with our beautiful dog. Dr. Brigande was always very thorough in exp... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 10/24/2007
ok vets, not so friendly techs I have brought my dog there a couple time, last time was a couple months ago.
This place was ok, I don't think it's the best vet I have been to though. The vets are good, I really don't have anything bad to say about them. They were nice and seemed informative. The only problem I had with the place is one of the Techs. She had an attitude and was not very personable. She acted like she could car... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 7/14/2007
Pets Don't Mind this Vet Either! St. Francis is a great place for owners and pets. The vets are very compassionate and really care about animals. I've used others in the area and they aren't as good as St. Francis. The office is well maintained and very clean. These men take pride in their work. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 7/28/2006
Good This is a very nice place to take your animals at those not so nice times. Nobody likes having to take their pet to the vet but taking them here isn't so bad. The staff is friendly and great with the animals. They are kind and loving and so compassion when needed. Prices are about reasonable as with any other veterinary office. The even offer a free dog biscuit when you come in, for the dog of co... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 11/30/2005
Good Place This is a great animal hospital if you value the wellfare of your pet. These are great doctors and to my surprise the wait for seeing them was quite short indeed. My dog had a nail infection years ago and needed some treatment. I went here and they gave it some cream and it finally healed after four weeks. Thanks to them my dog is very healthy now. They also give all types of shots and medication... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 9/19/2005
Best Vets in the World Dr. Batista and Dr.Battiato are the best vets in the world. They are both gentle and kind and have a nice mannerism. They are straightforward about your pets health and have a lot empathy for the pet's owners. I couldn't ask for better care that what these vets have provided for my pets.
PROS: wonderful place - great vets, techs and very clean
CONS: none Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 7/12/2005
Best Vets in the World Two friendly vets run this exceptional animal hospital. I couldn't ask for a better vet for my pets. These guys and their staff really love animals. I can't say enough good words about their work and the kindness they have showed to my pedigree doxies and stray cats. One of my dogs was very ill and passed on and Dr. Battiato showed so much kindness to my family - I can't thank him enough for his ... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 7/10/2005
