My kitty, Dusty needed a physical.He's 18, the Dr. Said he looks very good. Excellent service from everyone. From the time I got in the door for a scheduled appointment to paying my bill was only an hour.

Dr. Bachelor and staff are all caring and professional. It’s a big decision to whom you trust your animals, and I am glad I found them

Dr. Bache and his staff are the most caring and compassionate staff in the industry. My 230 pound Mastiff lost the use of his back legs quickly. Due to his size, Dr. Bache, who was not even his vet at the time, came to my home to assist. With great patience and progressive therapy, he is currently providing my older Mastiff with a continued quality life. The fees are more than reasonable.I would HIGH:Y recommend this clinic even if it is a drive. The level of care and the pure grace of this doctor and his staff make them second to none. He will have a client with me and my entire family for life. I can not thank them enough. Truly...

Five stars to Dr bache.But I ended up giving the rest of the hospital a three-star because the receptionist Kim is very rude very ignorant and very disrespectful toward clients and patients. Claims that the animal hospital is her Hospital and in her waiting room you don't give suggestions or recommendations of CBD products to other patients for their dogs who are already on three medications and still having five seizures a month per month at minimum. And then when I tried to let her know that it's okay to recommend or suggest CBD products I was told in my waiting room it is unprofessional and that if I was going to do that I didn't need to be here and then when I told her that she's not to talk to me like that she just looked at me with an ignorant ugly face and told me goodbye with an attitude and then went on about taking care of another customer. Gave the lady zero recommendations about what to do or how to prevent her dog from having more seizures just handed her, her paperwork and told her to have a good day so that's when I spoke up and told her that she should try CBD products because they're natural organic and they've been known to work against seizures to help prevent them or to slow them down.I like the doctor but his receptionist Kim needs to go. She's got a terribly attitude to be dealing with clients.

Dr Bache and his staff are excellent, the best I’ve been to in decades. They are very thorough and knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend them.

Love taking my schnauzers here. The staff is super friendly and very caring. Prices are also very reasonable compared to other vets and animal hospitals.

Our cat was having a medical emergency today. It was after hours so we called the emergency line and the vet, Dr. Bache answered and told us to come right in. He is an angel of mercy. Got our boy feeling better in less than an hour. His costs were extremely reasonable especially for an emergency visit. Thank you again for all that you did for Odin. Words can’t express the gratitude we have in our hearts.

I am so glad, the doctor took ROSEY, after she was hit by a car on RT 83, she had jumped the fence. She got hit, crawled , unto she hit the cliff and fell to the bottom. The Forestville fireman rescued her and literally brought her to the doctor in town. She was taken right away and x-rayed. I was scared to death as I waited. He soon told me, her damage and her body tissue saved her bones from more destruction. His knowledge of animals was the most amazing experience. It is worth every penny. For my dog is alive and I have him to thank for it. Praise the lord this man who is so good at his job. best VET EVER>................

Dr. Bache is knowledgable, caring, and compassionate. He has an amazing way of calming my cats as soon as he touches them. That being said, I was extremely disappointed with the care we received from staff when, after months of unsuccessful treatment and surgery, I recently made the heartbreaking decision to have my senior cat euthanized. Was told to bring her right in; we then waited in the busy waiting area for well over an hour with my cat in her carrier as people came and went with their barking dogs, and forced to listen to whatever junk was playing on the radio, while I sat there forcing back tears and attempting to make my cat's last few moments as peaceful and comfortable as possible. I understand it was a last minute walk-in appointment, but why not have us wait in the car or set up a time that afternoon when it wasn't so busy? Considering the circumstances, I would have hoped for a bit more compassion at such a traumatic time.

I got home from work & I noticed my cat was bleeding from her rear. I called my vet, who I've been taking her too for 14 years. I explained the situation & was told they close at 5:30 ( it was 5:15). They have an emergency line but she gave me appt for 8:30 am or call other emergency vets. I called 4 other emergency vets, some over 40 miles away, to no avail. ALL too busy. By now it's 7:00. I gave up. 😢 figured I'd wait until 8:30 hoping she'd be ok until then. She was not eating & was weak. A friend said to try FORESTVILLE ANIMAL HOSPITAL. We are not a patient there. I had nothing to lose so I called. Dr. Bache called me RIGHT BACK... OPENED HIS OFFICE & took care if my baby. Lanced her abscess, antibiotics shot & IV to hydrate & lower her temp. He was knowledgeable, explained EVERYTHING & was gentle. THANK YOU!! our new Vet for sure.

I have nothing but great things to say about this vet. The staff is wonderful, the doctor is wonderful, we have never had a bad experience at this place. We have been to many vets in our area (Lancaster NY) and we will take the hour drive to continue to go out to this vet. They truly care about animals and take the time to listen to you. If I could give more than 5 stars I would

The older lady receptionist is a miserable human being and should not be working around animals (or people for that matter). When people come in worried about their pet's well-being they should be treated with kindness and understanding. I will never make a morning appointment again.Dr. Bache is, however, a wonderful, kind person and in very knowledgeable.

I've have taken my dog Mia there for little over a year. They were always great and helped her with laser therapy to her hip when she had trouble with it. And when she would lick her paws until they were red and swollen they would get me in pretty quickly. However when I called the other day to make an emergency visit because she is vomiting and hasn't eaten for days they said they are all booked and suggested orchard park hospital. Not everyone can afford the emergency hospital. I'm really disappointed in thier office. When we really need help they basically turned us away.

I have taken my Maggie to Forestville Animal Hospital since I got her. They were always respectful and knowledgeable. The last time I brought her in it was because she was very ill. This was on an emergency call on a Saturday. He explained to me in detail what was wrong with her and unfortunately there was nothing more they could do for her. I wanted someone to come to my home and euthanize her but they were booked 3 weeks out. I called the Dr. back and asked if we could come back and he was gracious enough to meet us back at the Hospital. It was a beautiful November day. We laid our Maggie down on a patch of grass on her favorite blanket. He met us outside and did the procedure there. The last moments of my Maggie were of the beautiful outdoors and the faces of her loving family. Not some cold stainless steel room. I will forever be grateful to the Dr for what he did for us that day. He is compassionate and loving toward all his fur clients. There is no other Dr around that would do what he did that day to make sure that my Maggie was comfortable for her last hours with her family. I will always go to him with any animal I may have in the future.

Amazing team, they took exceptional care of my great dane for her spay and stomach tack. She was a referral from another vet and I will definitely be switching both of my animals to Forestville Animal Hospital!

If I could give more stars I would. Dr. Bache rushed in to help my dog after getting into an altercation with our other dog. He thoroughly cared for my girl. He’s very compassionate and it’s clear he loves what he does. I will be transferring my routine care for my pets to this office and recommend him to everyone. Even with it being an emergency visit at midnight, the cost was very reasonable.Thank you again Dr.Bache!!!!!

The vet here is wonderful and clearly cares about the animals he sees!Shortly after we moved to the area, my dog got into a box of dark chocolate. We did not yet have a vet and I had no idea who to call. The vet here was quick to get ahold of, and was very helpful. Luckily we did not have to go in, but he was willing to come in for an emergency appointment for someone who was not an established patient on a Friday night. I’m so thankful for the vet here and would absolutely recommend going here.4 months later and (forgetting I already had) I came here to write a positive review again. After facing another emergency with our other dog, the vet here has been great at communicating with us about what’s happening, what the benefits or risks are with each possible treatment approach, and his recommendations moving forward. Unfortunately her care has been a process, but he continues to be kind and helpful.

I've had several dealings with them. I have a litter of puppies. They did their shots and were really nice and professional. When our litter was born we had a sick runt and they immediately allowed me to come in when something was wrong even though they were busy. When he passed a day and a half later they made sure to go through options for urn boxes with me and even engraved his box with his ashes. I will definitely come back ♡

Would not respond to a call at night for a poor dog that was suffering and needed to go to sleep. Don’t use these people!!!

They have emergency hours and they take emergency visits, but only for people who are already under their care. It defeats the purpose of calling a visit an emergency because it’s not open to all pets only specific ones. Currently seeking emergency medical care for my dog, and I’m being told to drive two hours in the opposite direction.

The older lady at the front desk is Rude like usual. They did not update the paperwork on our doggo's or the billing address. It's not a huge deal but the lady said she would update it. The prescription still had the old address, same with all of the other paperwork. The printer has not been working for the last 4 years for some reason.Dr. Bache is great so that us the only reason we come back.

I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. Not only is the dr an awesome guy who takes amazing care of all of my babies. The staff is amazing too. Everyone is kind and loving to all the babies. And friendly to their parents.On top of all the awesome people there they are rather in expensive. They only charge you for what they do. And unlike other vets. It's only 35 to walk in to door. There's a fee if it's an emergency but that's still only an additional like 25 I can't really remember exactly what the fee is but that's close. Then it's + meds and stuff like xrays.So to summarize. Awesome dr. Awesome staff. Reasonable prices. 6/5 stars would always recommend.

While most if the staff there are wonderful, Jan at the front desk is cold, rude and seems to lack any compassion.Told us that until our bill, which was the result of 2 subsequental visits due to complications from a prior $ 1,200 PAID IN FULL surgical procedure for one of our cats, would not be laid to rest after having to be euthanized but kept in the cooler until the new balance from his final visit was paid.Asked on more than 1 occasion to speak to Dr Bache only to not have the message relayed to him and to be hung up on.Jan, you alone are the reason for the 2 out of 5 star review. I suggest a refresher of some sort on what it means to be compassionate to your customers and their needs. After all, in the end, Dr. Bache's customers are the reason you have your job and make it possible for you to be paid.

Just concluded or 3rd visit, Buddy, with the last of our 3 dogs. Dr. Bache is terrific as are the girls there. Compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and just great with the dogs. Saturday hours are very helpful because like most people I work during the week. We can't thank them enough for the terrific service that they provide!

This is the best vet I have ever been too. Amazing staff. Always willing to help. They are not about the money they are about the care of the animals which I am very happy about. Always feel welcome when I go in. This vet will always be the number one vet I will go to. Happy to take my animals there and know they will be taken care of we'll
