User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI've been taking my dog here since she was a baby. Dr. Tamas is a great veterinarian. Always takes time to explain things thoroughly and answer all my questions. Its obvious the man cares deeply about animals. Rachel, Lisa, and Erin are wonderful too.

I have been taking my cat to Larchmont for about 3 years. I have always been pleased with the care and staff service. However, my cat had a dental cleaning for infected gums at Larchmont last week and was put under anesthesia. 2 hours after I had her home I fed her, and she regergitated her food along with mucus and began hacking. I rushed her to Mt Laurel Animal Emergency Hospital, where she was found to have a tracheal tear due to the anesthesia tube. She aslo had a megaesophagus - restriction of airway, and severe inflamation. She was placed in an O2 chamber for 2 days and given iv fluids, antibiotcs, pain medication and antiinflamatories. During the first night air had proceeded to accumulate under her skin, causing a crackling sound when u pet her. I went to Larchmont the next day to inform them of what happened. Rachael immediately called Dr. Tamas (she woke him up) and put me on the phone with him. He was extremely apologetic and sincerely upset over this occurance. He stated that he is an anesthesiologist, and in 12 years nothing like this has ever happened to him. He visited my cat at Mt Laurel ICU, and kept in contact with me during her stay there. He also said he will be paying the hospital bill, which came to slightly over $2000. After doing a lot of research on tracheal tears during dental proceedures, I have learned that it is more common than expected. I read that during dentals, there is more risk of debris entering the airway, therefore anesthesiologist have a tendency to inflate the intubation tube more, in an effort to ensure no passing of substances. Overinflation of the tube is what is known to cause the tear in the trachea. I do not know if this is what happened to my cat or not, Dr. Tamas and I have not sat down together to fully discuss the incident as of yet. I brought my cat home 6 days ago, at first it was very rough, she was panic stricken, not eating and hiding under the blankets on the bed for the first 2 days. I had to take off work for 3 days to be home and supervise her, because physical activity is to be strickly limited. But as of today I am happy to report she is doing much better. She is still on pain medication and antibiotics for 2-3 more days, and she still has air under the skin which will take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to dissipate. The entire experience was extremely traumatic for my cat, and my family. But Dr. Tamas and Rachael were very supportive through it all, and I do not believe Dr. Tamas is a negligent practioner. Dr. Tamas and Rachael have always been very warm and compassionate with my cat and other animals I have seen them interact with in the office. They love and care for their patients very much. I actually feel very bad for Dr. Tamas that this happened, because I could clearly see how upset he and Racheal both were. I will be keeping my cat under Dr. Tamas care for ongoing Vet services. Let's just hope she never needs anesthesia for anything, ever again!

I recently saw Dr. Helfat with my sick cat Fred. After some bloodwork and a very thorough exam it was determined that Fred suffered from kidney disease. I cannot say enough good things about the vet, the staff(caring!) and the reasonable charges. I highly recommend this clinic, as it is the finest place I have ever visited with Fred( who is 14 years old).
