I brought my dog, Chopper, to Dr La Croix on Monday to get his eye treated. Dr La Croix wasted no time while understanding Chopper's problem. What we did not know was that Chopper already developed cancer throughout his body. Dr La Croix quickly contacted our dog's other vet to ask in depth questions and get as much information to help as possible. While examining Chopper she made so many brilliant observations that helped us get Chopper the care he needed. Just in the short time that she knew him she showed him so much love. She was extremely worried about Chopper's worsening condition and contacted us afterwards to make sure the dog was alright. She knew how sick he was and she urged us to take Chopper to an amazing vet er (VEG Commack, Heavily reccomend). Had it not been for her intervention after the fact we may not have gotten Chopper the care he needed. Unfortunately we decided to put Chopper down that night, he was far to sick to even live the night. We were able to spend his final few hours by his side while he was in no pain and under extreme care at VEG. None of this would have been possible without Dr La Croix. Losing a pet is hard but feeling the pure love Dr La Croix had for my dog made the decisions less painful. If it were not for her intervention Chopper very well could have suffered. The following day she sent flowers to our home with a lovely letter. I wish I could give a million stars. Not even just to her capability as a doctor but to who she is as a person. There is nobody in the world I would trust more with my pet than Dr La Croix and her expertise and her compassion. Thank you so much

What a wonderful veterinarian, eye specialist Dr. La Croix is. I have never met such a caring, compassionate veterinarian. When my cat boo needed an eye specialist she gave her such wonderful care. Everyone in the office was wonderful as well!

I had an emergency appointment with this veterinary ophthalmologist for my 13-year-old dog, and I truly couldn’t be more grateful for the care we received. From the moment we arrived, the dr Noelle La Croix was very attentive, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to thoroughly examine my dog’s eye, clearly explain what was happening, and walk me through the treatment options. I never felt rushed, and every question I had was answered with patience and care. Highly recommend :)
