Awful place I had an issue with my dog being re home they refused to cooperate with me. I told him that it didn't go the way it was supposed to go legally the dog wasn't mine they told me to mind my business and hung up the phone and will not speak to me I made a police report against this facility as well. Unfortunately I'm sick at the time with cold with covid and I'm unable to leave the house right now but I would like to speak with the doctor and let him know that his staff is treating me very poorly and I don't know where my dog is. I also boarded him there one point in time and he got very sick from dehydration and end it up with diarrhea. Stay far away from this place

We were not able to get an appointment with Scarlet's regular vets and her condition was worsening. We tried AHR in part based on reviews and their willingness to squeeze us in right away and then took wonderful care of her. They explained clearly what might be going on and recommendations. Focus was entirely on her the whole time we were there. Two injections and she was able to hop right in the car to go home. We'll be back.

We've had very good experiences at this Vet this summer into fall. Very pleased. To us, it's worth driving from the Hamptons to Riverhead for this down-to-earth practice. Would recommend.

Dr Lachhar is the best. Saw my dog right away when he had a hematoma on his ear. Dr has no problem when I call about a question. He is very caring. The staff is fantastic too

Becky and the WHOLE team are great. They got Mia in at the last minute on a Saturday when they have reduced hours. Dr. Lachhar is super and SO caring and explains everything. The group treats your pet as if it is their own. I had to get Mia checked out because she had a little blood in her stool. The Doctor gave her an X-Ray and blood work and an initial shot and meds to take home as well as a bland dog food from Hills.

My Mia is VERY finicky but she scarfed down the food like it was going to run away from her and the pills were mixed in! She normally hates ANY dog food wet or dry. I strongly recommend Dr. Lachhar and the team for your pet! EDIT: My comments above still stand. This time I decided to try the grooming service provided by Judy at AHR. What a great decision!

After getting hits & misses from grooming at Petco (more misses than hits) I went to Judy. She has over 44 years experience in grooming and LOVED my Mia. Gave a great grooming and knew exactly how to handle Mia who at times can be standoffish. Not aggressive, just doesn't like to be handled. I explained that to Judy and because of her experience, she had no issues with Mia! Going to Judy from now on is a no-brainer! Highly recommend!

They were very professional and caring. I went there because no vet was open. I was a little nervous, about going to a vet hospital and the cost. I was very happy all around with the services and the bill. Very grateful.my dog is all better. Thanks.

They have taken care of all my pets for years. The doctor is wonderful with my current baby Stitch. Their groomer is one of the best. My dog loves her and she always makes Stitch look so cute.

Thanks Dr. Lachhar and the lovely staff for taking such good care of Waffles. You made the day an absolute delight for my nieces by giving them a tour of your hospital, introducing them to your dedicated profession. They were very exited and Meera couldn't stop talking about wonderful you are and she would love to follow your footsteps! Thanks so much for your valuable time and genuine help!

I called around 11:20am Monday for an appt. after a few days of my dog not eating well. Dr. Lachhar was going into surgery at 12pm. The receptionist said if I could bring her down before 12pm they would see her. I brought her right down. I have to say I didn't really think anything life threatening was wrong with her. I had just put down some pest killer outside a few days prior and figured she may have come in contact with some.

But after a few questions and an examination Dr. Lachhar knew it was pyometra. He recommend an X-ray which we did and it showed her enlarged uterus, which he then drew blood to insure it was infected. The next morning he called me immediately with the blood results confirming his prognosis. He gave me two options (his recommendation) surgery, or antibiotics (which wasn't a guarantee cure).

Since the antibiotics wasn't guaranteed to work and she needed to be spayed anyway I went with his recommendation. We scheduled the surgery for the following morning. Thank god we did, she was his 2nd worse case in the past 22yrs, she would of become septic if untreated probably and most likely died. Can't thank him enough! He was reasonably priced and the staff was so friendly and loving towards my Storm. Connie (I'm guessing his tech.) walked us out and made sure she got in my truck safely.

I will only be using Dr. Lachhar from now on, since her current vet is on the more expensive side. I also noticed they clipped her nails and cleaned her ears at no charge. :) couldn't be more pleased with choosing them!
