Animal Hospital of Queens Boulevard

Dr, Volel has taken care of our two toy poodles, Cliff and Cameron, for the past 10 years. We got them from a rescue shelter (Bobby and the Strays), and they were barely socialized to humans. She immediately put them, and us, at ease, and gave them a thorough examination. That began a relationship through which they have been happy to go to Animal Hospital of Queens Boulevard for exams or boarding. For the past 10 years, they have been incredibly (almost freakishly) healthy, and I put that down to Dr. Volel's care of them.

About 18 months ago, when Cameron had swollen lymph nodes under his chin, Dr. Volel did an exam, drew blood and when the results were not what she wanted, scheduled further testing. He was diagnosed with lymphoma, and we were referred by her to Blue Pearl, where Cameron underwent chemo and radiation. He ended his treatment in January 2015, and he is still in complete remission. If she had not been as diligent with here diagnostic testing, and suggested an aggressive course of treatment, I hesitate to think what might have happened.

I recommend her, and her entire staff, without reservation.

Dr. Volel is a skilled and professional veterinarian! She takes wonderful care of our 3 puppies. The rates are standard for any veterinary practice and the staff there are friendly and courteous. I wouldn't trust the care of our four-legged loved ones to anyone else.

Dr. Volel is what you would want out of a skilled veterinarian. She attentively listened to all my concerns, answered all of my questions (there were quite a few considering I hadn't gone to the vet in a while) and offered additional advice and supplementary suggestions for my 12+ yr old feline. I'ts the first time I have been here since I've moved to this neighborhood from the city and I have to say the level of attention is what sets this place apart from the rest. I'm also going to include her staff as well because she was very helpful and courteous over the phone and in person. Nothing beats excellent customer service.

Dr. Volel is a very good veterinarian. We took our cocker spaniel there after she got severely injured by large dog that attacked her, tearing the skin completely away from her shoulder. She healed up quite nicely. We have been back regularly as our baby is aging and her health is failing. We have gotten excellent care, and our dog is mostly comfortable for her final years. The price is standard for veterinary care. Some visits are more expensive than others, and follow up visits are very low to no cost. Prescriptions cost what they cost. Depending on the time of day of your visit, you may have to wait, but every doctor's office gets backed up (mostly due emergency visits and other patients being late).

Our dog is very wary with strangers, and will nip people that try to touch her, so our first visit we did suggest a muzzle, though it was not needed. Our dog has surprisingly taken nicely to Dr. Volel, and lets her do what she needs to.

This place is great. I chose Dr. Volel because she came highly recommended by one of my neighbors and I'm so glad that I did. She's great. The wait is generally a little longer than I would like, but which doctor's office isn't like that? All in all, i recommend Dr. Volel and the Animal Hospital of Queens Blvd.
