Murrayhill Veterinary Hospital

Wouldn't go anywhere else!. My dogs, cat and I started with Murrayhill 17 years ago! Yikes! Dr Goodman is the absolute best!! However, a bee issue with my Boxer a few years ago introduced me to almost ALL of the veterinarians there, and I have nothing but the highest regard for them. Even though I have moved farther away, I still take the time and drive the distance to go to Murrayhill. I feel absolutely confident in their care of my pets, and I LOVE the receptionist, Helen. She is a kick!!! If you have a choice-go to Murrayhill!  View Less … View More

Dr. Goodman is simply the best. Laird Goodman in not only a superb verterinarian, but the kindest and most compassionate medical provider (for animals or humans) I have ever known. The care he provided over the years for my beloved elderly and chronically ill cat was truly a godsend. If not for Dr. Goodman, the time my cat and I had together would have been unnecesacarily cut short.  View Less … View More

Dr. Zawadzki made our English Bulldog smile!!!. Our bulldog always had dental dilemmas but one day, Budgy woke up and it was evident that he was in a world of hurt. We were quite concerned so we automatically contacted Murrayhill Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Zawadzki made time to see Budgy in her already booked schedule. She thoroughly assessed Budgy and determined several of his teeth were severely infected; surgery was needed as soon as possible to remedy the Budge-man. Following the appointment, we were still worried about our baby's ongoing lethargy and were scared that Budgy might not make it overnight (before the surgery). We again contacted Murrayhill with this fear, and Dr. Zawadzki volunteered to see Budgy past office hours without reservation. She and the team at Murrayhill were able to perform the surgery on the following morning. The staff performed phenomenal repair to Budgy's teeth and they even called me with updates throughout the surgery. Dr. Zawadzki not only saved Budgy's life, but she also provided much-needed emotional support to us during this event. We're so thankful to have such an outstanding hospital that takes care of our bulldog and genuinely cares about animals, as well as their owners.  View Less … View More

STOP SEARCHING!. STOP looking! You don't know us, but I assure you, we are picky. We work in healthcare and have a vet in our own family (lives out of state) so we've heard all the horror stories... and believe me when I tell you we get very serious about how important finding the right vet practice can be. In short: it doesn't get any better than this! EVERY person we've recommended this clinic to has come back to thank us - because yes, they are that much better! Go to their website and read about how differently they handle surgeries... you'll be surprised and relieved!

Need our personal examples?

Two important examples for you, first a sad one, then a happy one...

1) Our beloved dog Lily, lived for 14+ years, and the night we had to say goodbye to her was more horribly hard than I can say. Laird Goodman DVM was our primary vet for Lily, and as the evening closing time drew near, it became clear that Lily was maybe not going to make it. Dr. Goodman, despite having worked a very long day, stayed in that office with us until midnight. He just kept telling us not to rush to a decision and that he would be close by in his office but give us privacy to talk and be with Lily... He was generous and compassionate, and very wise. He was who you would want if you ever had to face such a decision... and so we finally did this last kindness for Lily in letting her go. A week or so later, a card came from the vet office with hand-signed personal notes from most everyone at the clinic who had known Lily over the years, along with a garden stone that had her name engraved on it. Need I say more on this example of compassion?

2) Now a couple of years later, we welcomed 2 new puppies into our family, and they have just turned 1 year old and are healthy now, BUT when younger, they had every manner of mysterious unpredictable health mystery... the drama was weekly if not daily. At each turn, these seasoned vets (Primarily we see Dr. Goodman and Dr. Chea Hall) went above and beyond in every way to make things right. ALWAYS taking the time to answer our questions, educating us, searching out the latest research rather than just doing "standard" protocols like many vets do... and we now have two healthy and happy young dogs as a result. Further, their front desk staff and techs all treat us with compassion and complete consideration. If only clinics treating humans worked like this!

At every turn, this team do go above and beyond and really give the best in medicine and caring. I can't recommend them enough!  View Less … View More
