Dr. Kamei is absolutely wonderful, as is the staff. I trust her with all of my pets yearly dental cleanings as well their annual work ups. The other veterinarians and the staff have all been phenomenal as well! I highly recommend using this animal hospital if you want high quality care for your pets.

Had a terrific visit with our 17 year old Coton with Dr. Vanya yesterday. She delivered not great new to us with tremendous kindness, understanding, and compassion. She provided highly useful suggestions and advice. While the news wasn't great, we greatly appreciated her professionalism! Thank you!

We’ve been bringing both of our girls to Belle Haven since each of their Gotcha Days (over 4 years)! Dr V is our main vet of choice but every doctor, vet tech & staff member have always made us feel welcome & well cared for. We’ve gone through, annuals, pups eating entire tubes of lotion, eating raisins, allergic reactions to bee stings & even getting in a last minute appointments.Last week they fit us in for a day of appointment to take a look at our eldest’s skin as she was itching a lot & we were about to leave town & didn’t want her uncomfortable while stuck at home with the dog sitter.Dr. Collings was so helpful & gave us everything we needed for the sitter & our pups.

I took my dog, Kola Bear, to Belle Haven for almost a decade and never had any problems, only wonderful experiences. They saw him from when he was a very active youngster to when he was a very old man, nearly 15. The vets are all great and outgoing. He had a cancerous tumor removed by Dr. Schutt which was so well done the tumor never came back. I totally believe this bought Kola a couple more years. I’ll always be grateful for the care the staff provided me during my pup’s life. He loved all the vets, and they loved him. The handwritten card from Dr. Lindig after Kola passed was very thoughtful and will be cherished. Thanks to all of you.

I’ve been bringing our dogs here and specifically to Dr Kamei for 10+ years. The entire practice is top notch and Dr Kamei is an excellent dr/surgeon and compassionate and patient to boot. I’ve been to other vets in the region but nobody comes close to the care my dogs get here. She never makes you feel rushed and often times when she’s following up it’s after hours and she apologizes for calling so late! Simply put, there is just nobody I trust more with the care of our beloved pups!

I saw Dr Grimm for both my dogs. She was warm and caring. I felt very comfortable with her caring for my dogs!!!

Our beloved cat was a patient of Belle Haven Animal Medical Centre…when she injured her paw and was crying in pain- I tried to make a same day appt but all they could give was one 5 days away. I had a hard time getting her seen by other Vets because she wasn’t their patient. BHAMC is a business not a caring Vet.

While it's nice that they have cats in the hospital for others to enjoy, both cats are overweight and one is really obese. This isn't a new thing either- these cats have been here for months and they did not mention to have them on a diet. Its a shame coming from a place to endorses healthy animals.

The vets here are great. Even though I had to wait it was worth it. The only thing that would make this practice better would be if they would lower their prices.

Very disappointed. Followed my first vet here 13 years ago. Was treated terribly today. Long story short- they are horrible communicators. In all honesty I did not react well to the situation but after being late by 20 minutes for the appointment, they wasted another 25 minutes of our time giving me the run around. When I finally lost my cool they made no effort to apologize or do anything to say that they could have done better. I was truly stunned by the level of arrogance and lack of empathy.The vets here may be competent and fine, but the lack of basic customer service skills among the staff is inexcusable. Maybe this is all we can expect from businesses today, but I need to move on. You should as well.

I’ve been taking my cat to the vet here for about four years now! So wonderful with him!

I recently attempted to take my dog to Belle Haven, hoping to provide the best care for my beloved pet. However, my experience was nothing short of disappointing and frustrating. The clinic refused to accept new patients in need of care, displaying a concerning lack of compassion and commitment to animal welfare.When I called on 10/4/2023, the representative informed me that they were not accepting new patients at the moment, leaving me shocked and perplexed. It was disheartening to learn that a veterinary clinic, whose primary purpose is to serve and care for animals, would turn away those seeking help.My pet needed urgent medical attention, and I was under the impression that a reputable veterinary clinic would prioritize the well-being of animals above all else. However, the clinic's refusal to accept new patients demonstrated a lack of concern for the health and safety of animals in need. It raises serious ethical questions about their commitment to fulfilling their duty as caregivers for animals in distress.Furthermore, the lack of transparency regarding their patient acceptance policy is concerning. There was no mention of this policy on their website, leading to a waste of time and unnecessary frustration. A veterinary clinic should be forthcoming about their availability to accept new patients, avoiding misunderstandings and disappointment for prospective pet owners seeking essential care for their furry companions.In summary, my experience with Belle Haven was deeply disappointing and disheartening. Their refusal to accept new patients in need of medical attention reflects a lack of compassion and a disregard for the well-being of animals. I would strongly caution potential clients and pet owners to consider these factors before choosing this clinic for their pet's care.

They are so patient and open minded with the human side of pet care. Lucky to have such a great vet for our pups care.

Dr. Connolly was great.She explained carefully all the treatment options I had for my chihuahua and I left the clinic feeling reassured that my dog was in good hands.

Had a face to face meeting with Dr. Katz on my kitty, who had a great exam! And had the special treat of meeting Snape who was looking for pats and belly rubs....I have been with Belle Haven Animal Medical Centre for over 10 years. It has wonderful caring Vets who go out of their way to help your fur babies and you.

All the doctors and staff at Belle Haven are truly caring professionals. I take my little dog, Annie, once a month to have her anal glands expressed and her nails clipped and always get prompt and excellent service. I have been going to Belle Haven for over 20 years and have never had a complaint. I highly recommend them for your pets.

Love this place - they were so loving and helpful when our dog passed and now they are so loving and helpful with our new puppy. Am excited to raise a dog with them!

I have been taking my dogs and cats to Belle Haven Animal Medical Center now for decades. The staff is very personable, professional, and caring. Would recommend them to anyone searching for a reliable, respectable animal medical care center.

We have been coming to this vet for nearly 10 years now. From the front desk staff to the veterinarians and everyone in between has been wonderful to both of our pets.We see Dr. Kamei and she is absolutely the best. She is knowledgeable, passionate about our pets and their health, and consistent. We fully and completely trust her opinion on all things pets. She has performed routine checkups, dental work, and even surgery on our pets and we always feel safe in her hands.

Belle Haven Animal Hospital, and particularly Dr. Kamei, have provided the best care possible for my dog and elderly cat. Dr. Kamei is incredibly caring, taking the time to diagnose before advising on the best and most reasonable path forward. She has provided our pets routine care and emergency treatment. If Dr. Kamei treated humans, she would be my physician of choice.

The doctors and technicians are always top notch and super attentive and helpful. They are passionate about what they do and give your pet the best treatment possible. Sometimes it is hard to get an appointment.

I have been taking my dog, Wyatt, here for the past 2 years (since he was a puppy). He has gotten all of his vaccines here, was neutered here, and has gone here for any irritations/rashes/illnesses. We love all of the vets and vet techs here and have had nothing but great experiences!

Belle Haven used to be the best vet around. Unfortunately they have really gone down hill. The veterinarians are mostly fantastic and will provide top notch care... if you can get in with them that is. The newer front desk staff can be terribly difficult to work with. From mixing up prescriptions to taking an attitude with clients it's a very unpleasant experience. The senior desk staff are fantastic though! I'm not sure if the new hires weren't trained well or what. Just make sure you advocate for your pet if you feel you aren't being listened to because the younger vets have missed some pretty clear diagnoses with my pup. They will also cost gouge you. If you need a prescription printed be prepared to wait until the next day as they don't have adequate staff to efficiently sign a prescription. It's a real shame because its a fantastic facility with mostly wonderful staff and veterinarians.

We have been taking our beloved cat Ashby to Dr. Katz at Belle Haven for several years now, and she has always been fantastic. She listens to concerns and takes the time to have long conversations to truly be thorough. She has fit us in during emergency situations and always responds to inquiries quickly. Our sweet Ashby has had a long and healthy life largely thanks to her. The staff at Belle Haven is always friendly and professional.

Dr. Kamai could not have been more comforting when she made specific arrangements to meet us and accept our dear Cavalier who had died the previous evening. That personal touch meant so much to our family!

I have been bringing my pets here for years. This is a wonderful clinic. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. The waiting room is big, bright, and clean. I recently saw Dr. Connelly who is fairly new to the practice. She was exceptional and thorough. I don't think they are taking new patients right now, but when they do again, I recommend BHAMC without hesitation.
