Quality of Care

Pros:

  • "Dr. Ascot truly cares for her patients and treats them like her own."
  • "Everyone I have worked with at this practice is truly in the field for all of the right reasons, the love of animals!"
  • "Dr Maniar and RAH... quickly diagnosed the problem and cured our dog, and I’m not exaggerating - saved this beloved creature’s life."
  • "The doctor and every person we spoke to at RAH were so helpful and attentive."
  • "Dr Maniar performed micro surgery on the eyelid of our dog, Alexis. He did an excellent job."
  • "Dr. Maniar is one of the best animal doctors in the Morris County area!!!"
  • "Dr. Maniar really loves what he does and genuinely cares about all the animals."

Cons:

  • "It was very hard to get information from them and no vets responded to us."
  • "But they're not the most communicative. Our dog spent a week there for a serious issue and we spoke to the vet twice over that week."
  • "The vets do not take the time to speak to customers."
  • "The staff is very inattentive and lacks professionalism…."
  • "They just don’t pay attention and it’s not under my own name."
  • "They are misleading. They did not try very much, nor did they tell me that diagnosis was only a possible diagnosis."
  • "Very poor service. The vet performs and recommends testings and does nothing come up with a diagnosis to provide treatment."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "They called with updates and kept me informed the entire time."
  • "Scheduling has been a breeze, they send out reminder emails when your pet is due for an appointment and prices are reasonable."
  • "The office staff are always professional and courteous."
  • "The waiting room was packed, yet I was called within 7-8 minutes."
  • "The desk staff were super friendly and attentive, even helped me carry my pets in and out to the car."
  • "Everyone who works here cares are animals and are amazing amazing people."
  • "The entire staff are the most caring & compassionate people when it comes to our pets!"

Cons:

  • "I will not be bringing my pet here any longer."
  • "Honestly can't recommend Rockaway Animal Hospital. We took my cat there for the 1st time on Saturday, the vet tech was clueless."
  • "I had to wait 20 min to get the meds."
  • "I was given another prescription with incorrect quantity resulting in being placed on hold for over 17 minutes."
  • "I called to make an appointment and had left two voicemails in which no one had ever gotten back to me."
  • "Additionally, I always have to prompt the front desk staff to bill my insurance."
  • "Dont get discouraged when you talk to the front desk staff. They have long hold times, don't always get back to you."

Cost and Billing

Pros:

  • "In addition the bill was less than half of what we thought it would be and what others have paid according to Google."
  • "Great care at reasonable cost & not an arm & leg to walk thru the door."
  • "They also charged very reasonable rates."
  • "Their prices are the most reasonable you’ll find."
  • "Beyond reasonable prices."
  • "Their prices are very reasonable for the level of care received."
  • "Their prices are very fair and you really get the feeling they're in this for the animals, not the money."

Cons:

  • "Only wish the costs weren't so high, but that's with all Veterinary locations."
  • "Her one concern, high cost."
  • "I feel as they are just trained for simple issues but nothing for complex treatments or high quality dogs."
  • "The charges are easily 10% less than any other around."
  • "And as well not charging us an arm and a leg."
  • "I had two experiences at this location that I was charged twice for the same service."
  • "Bringing home a puppy with parasites and not getting treatment started as soon as possible was frustrating."

Professional Expertise

Pros:

  • "I completely trust his expertise so this is almost as good as taking him with me!"
  • "Dr Maniar took over her case and told me she had acute pancreatitis and a stomach ulcer, possibly from something she ingested."
  • "Dr. Ascot was amazing. She immediately knew what the issue was and perform the necessary tests to verify."
  • "Dr. Maniar is the star of the show here. I swear he talks to my dog."
  • "Dr Manier was able to diagnose a disease that my dog had simply by hearing symptoms and reviewing reports from three other Dr.'s who were not able to diagnose."
  • "Dr. Maniar thoroughly checked her out, gave her the appropriate treatment, and now she is thriving again."
  • "Dr. Maniar found two possible diagnostics and treated her for the one with the highest probability."

Cons:

  • "There's a bunch of stuff written by the doc, saying we discussed how we should handle cleaning the cat litter, etc., that were never said to me."
  • "Maybe they're good for dogs, but if you have a cat, steer clear."
  • "This cat didn’t need 24/7 hour care."
  • "They are available 24/7 for emergencies and when my pup needed surgery, I really appreciated being able to visit her at any hour because there is always staff there."
  • "I took my chow to be examined because he had a very bad rash/injury and from one day to another it got worse so I took him to this vet and the lady wanted to give me an appointment in a week."
  • "It was impossible to get a vet to even call us back on her condition which at the time, according to them, was precarious."
  • "They made everything so peaceful and painless for him as well as me."
