Dr. Gower is an advocate for pet-centered health care, using the animal's individuality and personal medical history as the starting point for all examinations. As he himself put it: “I love science and technology. But I love the simplicity of human interactions, human-animal bonding, and the invaluable information gained from engaging in the simple art of LISTENING!”

I would be lost without them. They are always kind and helpful. I've used other vets and non compare to them. They are my heroes for my furabies.

Wonderful, Kind, and Caring Neighborhood Vet! 10 STARS!!I called Dr. Gower's office on a Saturday around noon, feeling pretty desperate as I had just driven out of the city having arrived in Long Island for what I had hoped would be about week. My 10month old puppy was diagnosed with Kennel Cough and I wanted her to have a healthy place to recover.With the anxiety of packing what we needed for a week, I somehow left the most important thing! the bag with her antibiotics in my apt in the city.Dr. Gower was so kind to take us - literally last minute on a Saturday afternoon as they close at 1pm, and see Tulip and treat her. I had never spoken with him or met him before this.He also called first thing on Monday morning to check on how she was doing.I am so grateful that I now have a vet I can trust and rely for Tulip's health out on here on Long Island, especially with Dr. Gower's experience and kindness.I highly recommend Dr. Gower if you need a vet in the area, if you are a new client or an old one! He's gold!
