If you are a first time pet owner avoid this place. They will sell you a bunch of things you don't need and also try and convince you to leave your dog overnight for "observation". I only went here because it was a free vet visit as per the agreement with where I got my puppy from. They were supposed to do addtl services and shots but since I didn't follow the Dr orders they refused. Also the receptionist was very rude as well.

On Sunday, November 15, I went to central vets Mineola with my dog, James and my husband. We are newly dog parents and know very little about dogs. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful towards us. We had a million and half questions and they kindly answered all our questions. They even gave us many options for our dog, which was very appreciated. I would highly recommend making an appointment with the Mineola office. I am so grateful for all they have done for James so far and I am looking forward to more vet visits.

My boyfriend and I got a dog and the place we got him from said they have a contract with CVA and we could bring him there. We came for a check up for him and they were amazing, so attentive and kind. I've had dogs all my life but my boyfriend is very new at being a doggy dad, he asked a lot of questions and they were so good about answering them.
The vet Dr. Liss was so nice and attentive she said she has Labradors of her own and she pretty much told us what to expect with our dog Cooper. They are so sweet and nice here the receptionist is so sweet and kind all the way up to the vet. I love coming here and thank you for everything in regards to Cooper he loves seeing the ladies there. I cannot say enough good things about this place or the people that work there!

Honestly these people are so unwelcoming. this nurse delivered such a strange vibe as if my husband and I had no knowledge on our pet and not only that they seemed to have pushed us into paying for the vaccinations all in one shot they gave my dog a vaccinations and I had forgotten to ask a question as she was taking another patient. she apologize to the other women because I asked a quick question these people are so rude and I am never coming here again. Bases on my experience I would not recommend this vet to anyone.

They are VERY expensive; however, they are nice and seem to care about your pet. A cheaper and faster alternative with the same results is Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center of Westbury. For a two day stay at CVA my dog was clearly diagnosed, whereas, in when I took her to Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center of Westbury no overnight stay was required and they did the same things CVA did. Veterinary Referral & Emergency Center of Westbury sent me home with required meds and diet recommendations. They even called me to see how my pet was doing. CVA had required times for me to call in. All I can say is LESSON LEARNED.
