Review By: DenaF

So upset that we are still not allowed to accompany our pets. My dog is typically nervous at his visits and without me with him, he was so upset and worked up, he was muzzled. I feel this definitely could’ve been avoided. There are many other offices that I know of that are letting 1 person accompany their pet so I don’t understand why your office is still under this restriction.

The last question does not apply as we were not allowed into the office. While I understand the reasoning behind having people stay in the car, I believe it would have been better if one person could accompany their pet and ask questions during the exam.

Sometimes it is a long wait to get an appt. with Dr. Parendo, but I believe that is because he is good at what he does and that he is worth the wait. My dog has long had problems and my other 2 vets, having since retired, were unable to help him. Dr. Parendo has been able to try different methods to try to help him and I m keeping my fingers crossed.

All the staff at St. Francis are phenomenal. They go the extra mile each time I interact with them. Sam is especially caring, helpful and professional with Shea. Always request her to be with him. The administrative staff are smart and helpful. So professional. Yesterday was Sheas first appointment with Dr. Rufralo. She Took the time to explain everything to me and I feel better equipped to handle his minor issue. Dr. Rufralo also called me tonight with results. All good by the way. I love St. Francis Hosputal for Animals!

Everything was excellent and I gave you all 5s but I don t know if they showed up. We only trust Dr. Parendo and his staff. We feel that Rosie is completely safe while being cared for at St. Francis Animal Hospital. It was a bit unnerving to not be with her, though I hope the COVID-19 is gone soon so we can be with her on her next visit.

I indicated that my dog has a sore on her right front paw, when I spoke to the office assistant, upon arrival. After the appointment was over, I asked the doc about it and he said he was unaware of it. My dog continues to have this issue and I will now have to schedule another appointment. Please call me at 631-567-0367. Thank you.
