The Veterinarians and staff are very compassionate, professional be and knowledgeable. Our dog had been very and his regular vet had tried everything to find out what was wrong with him. My dog needed an ultrasound so I went to Upstate Veterinarian Specialties in Latham NY where my regular vet referred me to. The dog had to be euthanized. and the staff was very understanding. I would highly recommend any one with an animal they love to this hospital
