What reviewers say

55% Mixed sentiment
based on 45 reviews

Call Ahead Veterinary is an independent practice in Brooklyn offering traditional veterinary care with an emphasis on affordability and accessibility. The facility features a very dated, old-school environment with solo operation and manual record-keeping. While some visitors appreciate the direct communication, reasonable pricing, and availability for prompt or urgent visits, others raise serious concerns regarding diagnostic accuracy, facility cleanliness, and overall standard of care.
