**********************

Changes in the face of COVID-19: 

We are open and are able to help with sick pets, and new and ongoing conditions, and wellness visits and vaccinations.  Flea, tick, and parasite medications as well as refill medications may be purchased.

*******

In hope of keeping our community healthy and for us to be able to continue to provide quality care for your treasured companions, we ask that you please refrain from visiting the clinic:

—if you have recently been sick or are are currently sick, or under home quarantine

—if you have been exposed to or care for someone who is currently sick or are under self quarantine at home

If you meet the above criteria and your pet is sick, we can make special arrangements to help.  Please call us to make appropriate arrangements.

*******

As we know that prolonged close contact increases the risk of transmission of COVID-19 virus, and due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in our community, we will adhere to the following protocol for clients and pets:

For office visits, we will make efforts to minimize the time clients spend in the hospital.  This is the protocol:

Clients MUST WEAR A MASK PROPERLY AND MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING AT ALL TIMES WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL.  We are allowing one person and their pet(s) to come into the hospital for appointments.

1) When you arrive, please bring your pet into the hospital and check in at the front desk.  If you are returning to pick up your pet after surgery, please call when arriving before coming in.

2) A staff member will then meet you and your pet and will escort you to a clean exam room where you will stay until the appointment has concluded.  All services and transactions, including scheduling future appointments, will be completed with you while in the exam room.  Please remember to keep your mask on even when alone in the exam room.

3) At the conclusion of your visit, please proceed directly outside without stopping at the reception desk, remembering to avoid close contact with any other clients on the way.  

We have increased our already stringent disinfection protocols to help keep our clients and their pets safe.  Each exam room will be thoroughly cleaned between office visits.

We also offer Telemedicine appointments as well.  If we determine that your pet needs to be seen, we can arrange it quickly.

Please contact the clinic if you have any questions or concerns.  We know that if we all do our part that the effects of this virus will be lessened and we have a better chance at staying healthy.

    Pat Hoffert
  • "I used Dr Nachbar for many years to care for my Dogs, cats and Parrot. Competent, kind, thoughtful, communicative are just a few of the adjectives I would use to describe him. The care my animals received was always top notch. I trust him far more than my human care providers. :) do not hesitate to select him as your veterinarian!"
    Staci Saulter
  • "Can't thank everyone enough! So very helpful with the myriad of pets we have. Everyone goes the extra mile, literally, to take care of this houseful of fur babies."
    Melanie Pritchard
  • "We had our first visit for a wellness checkup for our Sun Conure and had an amazing experience. The staff was extremely friendly, supportive and most of all loving towards our new addition, Beaker. They took us on time, answered all of my questions and even provided me with support materials to take home. Highly recommend, especially for special case pets."
    Colleen Hattler
  • "Friendly staff and excellent care for your pets."
    Andrea Post
  • "He is a very kind and gentle vet to your pet who really cares . His surgery abilities are phenomenal."
    Sandy Jones
  • "Just switched from another vet and I am impressed. Dr. Gugino was awesome. She's very smart and thoughtful. She diagnosed and treated Zeus, my dog, when no one else could . The staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable."
    Jackie Ettipio
  • "Nice vet takes the time to care for your pet needs and definitely has an excellent staff for support."
    Tim Leclerc
  • "Dr Nachbar & Dr Tyczka and staff take such good care of our hamsters. I couldn’t have asked for a better veterinarian. I would give them 100 stars if I could."
    Kristeen Izzio
  • "We had our first visit there today, I've been searching for a new vet after a very bad experience. Our dog is usually fearful and growly at the vets, but at Dr. Nachbar's she was wagging her tail and eating treats. The staff is exceptionally kind and caring and went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. I will be singing your praises!"
    Jeanne Wangelin Holmes
  • "I've brought my dogs here for years. It began with a surgical referral from someone who took over my original Vet's practice. My girl never had the surgery because it was deemed unnecessary and she lived out a great life to the age of 14 under Dr. Nachbar's care. After that first visit, I pulled both my dogs out of the care of the previous provider and have been a faithful client ever since. The expertise, the education and the love of his work sets Dr. Nachbar far above the rest. I recommend this Vet 100%."
    Linda Kathleen
  • "I love Dr Nachbar! He's been our vet for at least 16 years. Always compassionate and always listens to you."
    Debbie Farner
  • "Dr. Nachbar and his girls are the best. They take such good care of my little dogs and care how I feel about what is going on with them. They are so friendly and helpful in any situation I have had. I would recommend them to anyone with dogs that are part of your family."
    Nancy Keith
  • "After years of seeing different vets with different dogs I can honestly say Dr. Nachbar DVM + his new associate Dr. Gugino DVM are absolutely the best vets I've ever taken my dogs to. They genuinely care about their patients + owners. They take the time to put you at ease, answer all your questions + concerns. The first time I took my 2 Labs to Dr. Nachbar, I thought where have you been my whole life !!!! They work with traditional + homeopathic treatments. In my opinion, Nachbar veterinary clinic in Springville, NY is without a doubt the best place in our area to take your animals sick or healthy!!!!"
