Brought my mixed breed dog to ASC to…
Brought my mixed breed dog to ASC to have two masses removed from her. Staff at ASC was very attentive and knowledgeable. Dr. Infernuso did an excellent job explaining what needed to be done and our options. The procedure went terrifically and our dog has made a speedy recovery.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear the procedure went smoothly and that your dog is recovering well. Our team strives to provide attentive care and clear communication, and we’re happy to know you felt supported throughout the process. We appreciate your trust in us.
I can’t thank Dr. Infernuso enough for taking care of our 6 year old Frenchie Remy. We were initially recommended by a vet to take Remy to see a neurologist for possible cervical bulging disc due to IVDD. After a horrible experience with VMCLI, we called Dr Infernuso late at night who told us to bring Remy in first thing in the next morning. He saw Remy immediately and sent him for a scan. Dr Infernuso reviewed scan, explained in detail why Remy needed surgery. Remy went right straight to emergency surgery from scan. Dr Infernuso performed ventral slot surgery at the C5-C6. I highly recommend the Animal Surgical Center in Oceanside. You will never find a more kind, compassionate, highly skilled surgeon than Dr. Infernuso. I also want to thank the staff at ASC as well. From the front desk employees especially Lisa who is a life saver when you most need one, to Liz who is the absolute best human on this planet. Desiree with her kind smile. Day, who is one of the managers, always there making sure not only is your pet care for but you as well. Equally thankful to the entire staff behind the scene, who took care Of Remy while he was medically boarded. I could never thank everyone enough for saving my sweet babyboys life. Animal Surgical Center,
Dr. Infernuso and all of the staff are exemplary in their field, others should try to follow their example.
Sincerely,
Denise, Marg and Remy

Our team is committed to compassionate, timely, and expert care for all our patients, and we are so glad we could make a difference. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled to hear that Remy is doing well.
From my first consult before surgery to the last follow up appointment my dog Amy was treated with kindness and compassion. The staff was patient and answered my questions and explained everything clearly. The surgery to remove a mass on her leg went better than expected. The staff was so accommodating scheduling follow up appointments around my work schedule. I highly recommend anyone whose fur baby needs surgery come here for a consult. Thank you again so much!

The care and profesionalism of the staff from the moment you walk in is reassuring my healthy toy poodle was found to have a 4cm mass in her liver after blood work and ultrasound at her regular vet,we live in eastern suffolk county my 1st though was no way am driving to Oceanside when her vet gave us 3 hospitals to choose from the other 2 been much closer to home so i called them first and got voice mail on both, finally called ASC and they answered were nice enough to give me an appt for next day to see Dr Kamran he took looked at sonargram and decided to squeezed her in his scheduled and have surgery that very afternoon the care my poodle received while waiting in a small private room and letting us stay with her till her turn help us more than her....Dr Kamran called after surgery and the Dr. on duty called us twice that night to keep us posted and the next morning Dr. Kamran did such a nice job she left after 24hrs instead of three days,my 9yr old poodle is almost brand new and has recovered with no problems 8 weeks later i called to talk to Dr Kamran and he called me back within hrs and reassured me.....i highly recommend driving to Oceanside in traffic to be able to leave your dog in a hospital with caring and proffesional doctors and staff ! Dr. Kamran thank you from the bottom of my heart !!

Great experience for Roxy
We were referred by 2 friends, each of their dogs having had different surgeries performed by Dr. Infernuso. My 7yo dog, Roxy, had a lipoma in her neck area. We brought her in at 8am as instructed, however she wasn't operated on until late afternoon. I was disappointed because we were told she would be there roughly 3 hours, and she hadn't eaten since 11pm the previous night.
In spite of this, the medical & support staff was wonderful! They were so kind, compassionate, and loving toward Roxy, and helpful to my daughter when I couldn't return to pick her up due to a medical emergency.
Dr. Infernuso did a great job with the surgery, no complications, and he followed up with phone calls.
I would highly recommend Dr. Infernuso & the Animal Surgical Center in the future.

We’re very glad to hear that our team was able to support both Roxy and your family, especially during your own medical emergency. Your kind words about our staff mean a great deal to us.
Dr. Infernuso will be happy to know that Roxy’s surgery went smoothly and that his follow-up communication was helpful. We’re grateful for your recommendation and are always here for you and Roxy in the future. 🐾💛

Highly Impressed
Highly impressed with Dr. Infernuso and his staff. I knew at the consultation that our Mini Dachshund was in good hands. Day of surgery we were kept informed every step of the way. Knowing he would be staying over night and that round the clock care was provided really put us at ease. Superior medical care and kindness from all. Highly recommend Animal Surgical Center.

Fantastic facility, open, friendly, excellent doctors, lovely staff. The pet’s guardians are allowed to stay with their pets the whole time, even overnight.

HIGHLY recommend Dr Infernuso for BOAS surgery
If your pet needs surgery, Dr Infernuso and staff at Animal Surgical center in Oceanside is the only place to go! My 2 year old french bulldog just had the BOAS , and stenotic nares procedure done by Dr Infernuso and it completely changed his quality of life. He can finally breathe, eat, sleep and exercise without choking snoring and exhaustion. The Dr and entire staff were so caring and attentive with my boy, who was a difficult patient to say the least! I wouldn't have gone anywhere else!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Veterinary Surgical Team in Oceanside!
Our experience with Dr. Infernuso, Lisa, and the Animal Surgical Center team was absolutely outstanding. They performed a life-changing surgical procedure on our dog, Coby, and the results were incredible. From consultation to recovery, they treated Coby like their own.
Dr. Infernuso is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also a deeply compassionate and caring professional who explained every step with clarity and confidence. Lisa was amazing — she kept us informed, comforted us through the process, and showed genuine love for our boy.
Thanks to this amazing team, Coby is happy, healthy, and back to being his playful self. Oceanside is truly lucky to have such a talented and caring surgical center. We’re forever grateful!

Very good experience
Dr. Short and her team were wonderful from the start. Our cat, Peaches’ surgery went smoothly and we received photos of Peaches post surgery as well as a phone call to let us know how she was doing. They also called us to see how she was feeling at home.🏡
My family and I would recommend the Animal Surgery Center very highly.

Best Surgical/Emergency Center Around
We were referred to this facility by our regular vet as they felt the surgical center could better handle our dogs lipoma removal due to its size and location. We made an appointment for a consultation and met Dr. Infernuso who we came to learn is the owner of the facility. Dr. Infernus was exceptionally kind, caring, understanding, and very patient in explaining to us what was to be done, the risks and concerns and then very open to take time to answer all the questions that we had.
During the procedure, the staff kept us updated and truly showed their caring value as they knew we were nervous. Once the operation was complete, Dr Infernuso called us and explained everything that occurred (the procedure was just as expected and explained during the consultation). The staff later called as well to check in and we’re super helpful in handling our Pet Insurance claims. Shout out to Lisa who is fantastic!
Having to take your loved one to a surgical center is nerve-racking and scary but the level of service rendered in my opinion is superb and I would 100% recommend them to anyone with these type of needs.
Thank you so much everyone!!!

A "TAIL" OF ALL GOOD
Extremely easy experience with Animal Surgical Center. The staff was very professional and knowlegable. Every question I asked was answered promptly and with courtesy.
Dr. Short, the veterinary surgeon, kept us informed of all steps of surgery and even sent a pic of our dog when the surgery was over.
Every thing was a success, even the stitches looked good.
I hope my dog Jackson never needs another operation, but if he does, I can have confidence bringing him to Animal Surgical Center of Long Island!

Great clinic!
I brought my dog in for emergency surgery for her broken leg, they were kind and accommodating and kept me in the loop about everything! They have been happy to address my concerns and answer my questions before and after surgery as she recovers. They also are less expensive than other places which made it easier to get her the care she desperately needed. I can tell the staff here genuinely cares about making a difference in the animals lives.
