"Dr Gucciardo and his team are the most special people on this planet. If it wasn’t for them I don’t know what I would do. They strive to absolutely be the best hoomans for these animals. The compassion, the patience, the love they have for animals is unmatched. My kitten and 14 year old dog receive such great care. Dr Gucciardo was meant to heal animals and he does it in such a graceful way. If you have any doubts of visiting this awesome place with your pet don’t have any. Dr. G and his staff are literally the best people ever!"

"After almost a year of failed diagnosis with our vet we decided to get a second opinion here, so thankful we did! Right away our dog was scheduled for surgery at a cost that sounded way too good to be true, esp after spending thousands on unproductive treatments. I am happy to report our dog is doing so well, and we have found our new vet!"

"No vet is perfect, but as someone with six animals, I feel very comfortable bringing all of them to Dr. G. He sees my four cats and two dogs - one of my dogs bi-weekly for acupuncture - and has always done right by them. In moments of emergencies or distress, they have squeezed me in and seen my animals. When I have called or emailed with questions or concerns, they were prompt in answering. Sam at the front desk has been a lifesaver for me more times than I can count. I think the best thing about Dr. G is that he really listens to you, too. I recommended a friend there who was having issues with her dog who was being a littlr anxious and reactive, and her feedback after seeing him was that she felt heard. I tried another vet when I moved out here, but ended up back at Integrative Vet. Yes, sometimes there can be long wait times, but if you call before you leave, they'll let you know how many patients in front of you so you can adjust your timing accordingly. They are also very affordable, which is a relief when you have six animals like I do. Dr. G is honestly like a vet celeb around here - I have never heard anyone say anything but glowing things about him."

"My westie Bonnie has what's called westie lung disease which is basically doggie copd. She was having trouble breathing and coughing, gagging and things were not going in a good direction for my 8 yr old pup. After finding a website based on this disease it said the only thing that could help( there isn't a cure unfortunately) would be cold laser therapy. After a visit to my vetinerian who prescribed several different drugs including prednisone, he was unfamiliar with cold laser therapy. Most vets aren't familiar. I Googled it and found Dr. Gucciardo and the awesome vet techs at integrative vet therapies. Bonnie was very uncomfortable and like a zombie because of the prednisone. Dr. G examined her and recommended that we do the therapy. After the 3rd visit she began showing improvement. This went on for a few months and she was definitely doing better but not great. Then Dr. G recommended a new treatment that he'd had success with called Shockwave sound therapy. It was never used on a dog for this purpose and with no guarantee of success and understanding that it wouldn't hurt her I agreed to let them give it a try. After 3 sessions they waited a month to see if she showed improvement. She did so we proceeded with additional treatments. Well the results have been amazing! We were able to cut most of her medications down considerably and her inhaler down to once a day. I live 50 miles away in Massapequa and it's an hour ride each way and I will absolutely not go anywhere else! We got our dog back! She turns 10 in April and I would have to say that her condition has DRASTICALLY IMPROVED! Yes all caps. That's how much better she is. She loves going there and is treated and loved by some the best vet techs I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you Dr. G and everyone at integrative vetinerian therapies. You have given my family our dog back. We still continue the treatments and she still shows symptoms such as occasionally coughing or gagging but the change in her condition is definitely greatly improved."

"Dr. G and the entire staff are amazing! I wouldn’t go anywhere else. My dog came here due to back issues and were recommended by a friend to come. Dr g is the best vet I’ve ever had and my dog LOVES him. He very knowledgeable and listens to all my concerns and takes the time to talk to you. My dog is also obsessed with all the staff and loves all the attention he gets from everyone. Thank you to everyone for always taking care of big Lou, you guys are the best and we love you all!!!"
