We are so thankful for Amy Middleton, VMD. She was wonderful and so very compassionate with our goat who needed an emergency c-section. She was able to assist us with everything we needed for aftercare as well.

I rarely ever write reviews on here - but I have to today. My Husband and I own and operate a farm, and also run a direct to consumer meat business that now ships to Americans NATIONWIDE. We have grown, and were hoping that we could partner with a GOOD Veterinarian in the Upstate NY area, our animals are very important to us. We have used Leatherstocking for some time, and every time someone came to see us, it was always a depressing experience. The Doctors never follow up and the staff make you feel like you are inconveniencing them. Today was the icing on the cake, I have a pig that is in need of a vet, I called them about it, I was told that I would be called back, no call back. SO I called them after waiting an hour, and they told me that the Doctors no longer want to see my pigs or help me with them. Mind you, we have given this vet GREAT business. Dr Rachel is mean, condescending and talked horrible to us in the past. I would warn others about this place. They are not interested in helping farms out with cattle, pigs, goats. Such a shame for them, because they just lost a great paying customer. If anyone here knows of a great Vet in Upstate NY that will help farm animals - please let me know. Very hard to come by!

The only way this practice will treat you well is if you have a fancy horse and state of the art barn. They are condescending, dismissive and talk crap about you to other clients. Dr. Rachel has been downright cruel to me on several occasions. They know that they're the only game in town, so what is a horse owner to do in case of emergency? And, they know very little about goats and sheep, misdiagnosed two of my best goats which thankfully didn't end in death because I was able to get them to someone down state.

Wanted to thank Dr. Amy & assistant, Emily(forgive me if name is incorrect) for the calm & reassuring care they gave my mare Grace, who had been cast in her stall. Grace is still very sore. Opened stall door allowing her to go out & she willingly went out on her own. Appreciate you, Patty Trask
