About Us
Welcome to East Bay Animal Hospital, your trusted partner in providing top-notch veterinary care to the pets of Merrick, Bellmore, and the surrounding communities. Since 1988, we have been dedicated to delivering first-rate, compassionate care to dogs, cats, pocket pets, and exotic animals. Our mission is to create a welcoming and state-of-the-art environment where pets receive the best possible treatment.
Our journey began with Dr. Gary Selmonsky, DVM, who opened the doors of East Bay Veterinary Hospital with a vision to provide exceptional pet care. Over the past 25 years, we have grown into a full-service animal hospital equipped to handle a wide range of veterinary needs. Our team of experienced veterinarians, including Dr. Amanda Maltese, DVM, and Dr. Stephanie Waters-Lemma, DVM, are committed to understanding the unique bond between you and your pet. We treat each animal with the same love and respect that we would give to our own family members.
At East Bay Animal Hospital, we offer a comprehensive array of services designed to meet the diverse needs of your pets. Our advanced diagnostics include ultrasound, echocardiograms, digital radiology, and endoscopy, ensuring that we can accurately diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. We excel in managing chronic care, surgery, and chemotherapy, providing top-notch care in the event of an illness or injury.
Our critical care services are designed to respond to emergencies with urgency and compassion. We understand the distress of seeing your pet in need, and our expert healthcare team is dedicated to providing quality care during critical situations. Our services include emergency surgery, emergency endoscopy, emergency ultrasound, ICU monitoring, blood bank/transfusions, and a fully stocked pharmacy.
We also specialize in surgical procedures such as tooth extraction, oral tumor removal, and fracture repair. Our soft tissue surgery includes the removal of lumps or growths, while our spay/neuter services help prevent various health issues. Additionally, we perform orthopedic surgery to address bone-related conditions.
