I wouldn't have given this joker so called doctor nor his bungling staff any stars if that had been an option. That's just how bad the "service" here is. Every time I've given that place a chance that con artists "doctor" is always trying to drive the bill up by adding more drugs to the total. So much so that I finally told them I was no longer coming back to them. In addition to this the vet and his staff have been caught in numerous lies regarding treatment and what was expressed by them in the initial diagnoses. On top of all this neither the vet nor his staff know much about managing nor handling animals in general.
This veterinary office also has a shady contract with the SULLIVAN COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER wherein the shelter SELLS all the "strays" they can capture with the strict regulation that the buyer MUST report immediately to family pet or else the buyer will be subject to have the pet forcefully removed by the animal shelter AND they will charge a $150 fine to the owner to do so.
This joker can't even look you in the eyes when he talks to you.
Stay away from this place and the sullivan county animal shelter.
Gangster con artists the lot of them.

Dr. Hobbs has always been very caring for my doggies. I've had one that was in a bad shape and he worked him in. He never rushed with the assessment and made sure the correct treatment was given. I have been to other clinics that I have had to wait to see the vet and then once my animal got to see the vet, they rushed through the exam. I appreciate the kindness and caring from Dr Hobbs and his staff!!!

Most awkward experience of my life. Brought my dog in for a nail trim and was asked by the Dr to hold my dog down while he cut her nails. I was not comfortable holding her down, so I told the Dr and he said "OK, I guess I can get one of the girls to come in here and help". I was left waiting for almost 40 minutes. Once the Dr and his assistant came in they attempted to trim my dogs nails. Now, my dog is a Jack Russell, Min Pin mix, both of which are very high strung breeds. She was a little jumpy, but not trying to bite or scratch or attempting to be mean. After 2 minutes of trying, the Dr informed me my dog needed to be sedated for the nail trim. I reluctantly agreed. The Dr came in and gave my dog an intravenous injection. He then told me we needed to wait 15-20 minutes for it to take effect. After about 3-5 minutes my dog was very sleepy. I went out to the front desk and told the secretary that I thought my dog was sedated enough to continue. I waited another 20 minutes, during which time by dog started to wake up. By the time the Dr and the assistant came back in my dog was wide awake again. This time the assistant held my dog down, while the Dr cut her nails. The Dr made 6 nails in the front, and 5 nails in the back bleed. Then he looked at me and said, "Oh wow, can you believe she is bleeding so much, I wonder why". It took everything I had not to punch him in the face, but I held my composure, went to the front desk and paid my $32.00 bill for a nail trim.



I have had my dogs nails trimmed many times, by groomers and her previous vet who recently retired. NEVER has she had to be sedated. And she was never left a bloody mess afterwards. I chose to bring her to this vet so I could meet him and get a feel for they type of care he provides. I was not impressed at all. His receptionist was rude, and the Dr acted like he was on some sort of drug that makes him talk and act like he is in slow motion. The only positive thing I can say is his assistant was very nice and genuinely seemed to want to care for my bleeding dog. In reality, his assistant seemed more educated than the Dr himself.



I have to give at least one star in order to post this review...but Family Pet Veterinary Hospital gets ZERO stars from me.



I would not bring an injured animal to this clinic to be euthanized. This is the most incompetent Dr I have ever met and I caution anyone who chooses to go there.
