“This review, being the first and so glowing, may sound like it was written by a friend or family member. We never met Krissy before she came to our house on a veterinary visit, but just a few visits later we do consider her a friend and Charlie (our Great Dane) thinks she’s family (albeit weird family that likes putting a thermometer where the sun doesn’t shine).
We recently adopted an amazing dog Charlie and were told that she does not like visiting the vet. We were very lucky to be put in touch with Krissy who has performed some routine care and dealt with some minor issues in a way that feels like our friend that happens to be a vet is stopping by to take care of Charlie for us. Krissy is overly considerate and regularly checks up on Charlie between visits, doesn’t over medicate or immunize while ensuring that necessary immunizations and medications are recommended and is very cautious of costs. I have a difficult schedule that she has always managed to work around. Veterinarian On Wheels couldn’t be any better in any way whatsoever.”
“Since making this first review Charlie was discovered to have bone cancer. Krissy caught it before we even told her about the bump on her leg. She quickly got us x-rayed and referred to an incredible oncologist that treated Charlie with a brand new kind of radiotherapy. That therapy kept the cancer localized for 6 months during which time Krissy was there for Charlie consistently. A few weeks ago Krissy helped us make the choice to amputate and again, referred us to an amazing surgeon to take care of that.
Her only fault (if you can call it that) is that she cares too much.”

“We just had our first house call from Dr. Andersen. Our cat, Kitty, was vomiting and dehydrated. and crying. Dr. Andersen spent time on the phone listening to all of my concerns and put me at ease. She came to the house where Kitty was able to remain comfortable and calm while receiving her medication and fluids. Dr. Anderson CLEARLY loves animals and it shows. I was expecting a high cost but it was no more expensive than Kitty’s regular vet (who couldn’t get her in today). Definitely saved on Kitty’s stress level and she appears to be feeling better already. Looks like we have found a new vet service. Highly recommend, ESPECIALLY if your pet gets anxious in cars or going to a vet hospital/clinic.”

“Some people are lucky enough to find their calling in life. Dr. Kristen Andersen happens to be one of those people. Her dedication, compassion and concern for my animal’s well-being were apparent even in our first phone call. Without even seeing my cat she was able to hypothesize three possible diagnoses based on what I described to her. Being a first time cat owner, I was nervous and scared of the possibilities of what could have been wrong. Her bedside matter left nothing to be desired. Leading up to my appointment, she continued to check in with me regarding the status of my cat. During the appointment, she kept me calm and walked me through everything she was doing. Her honesty and integrity became apparent when she gave her final diagnosis. She could have required more tests or suggested expensive treatments just to make a profit, but she didn’t. She was honest and sincere in her opinion on what she felt I needed to do. Needless to say, my cat recovered to full health within three days. I received follow up calls from Dr. Andersen checking on my cat’s progress and my state of mind. This was all a scary experience for me, as my vet was away, and Dr. Andersen came highly referred by a close friend. I now have a new vet!”
“VOW came to my home Monday evening my dog was in pain & so nervous & uncomfortable! DR Andersen was at my house quickly and explained all our options. She examined & treated my dog & within an hour he was felling so much better!! Next day he was almost good as new!!! DR Kristen followed up with me first thing the next morning and every day that week to make sure we were getting better and there were no issues!! DR Kristen was honest with her prognosis and not looking to just rush to emergency surgery like some vets would do for $$$. I know we choose our Vets like we choose our Pediatricians but please trust me when I say give her a try & you will b so happy you did!!!!! Her love for animals shines through!!! She is truly great at what she does!!!!!”
“Dr. Anderson is a bright, knowledgable and caring vet who recently came to my home for the first time to examine and treat my cat Carlos. She spent a lot of time getting acquainted with Carlos and listening to my concerns before examining him. After a thorough examination she presented me with several options for his treatment. She has since been in contact with me to check on his progress. She is truly a gifted veterinarian. My Carlos is so lucky to have Dr. Anderson as his primary physician. I am blessed to have her in my life.”
“Recently our 11 year old boxer was suffering from what appeared to be seizures. She’s a big dog and we didn’t want to add any unnecessary stress by taking her to a vet’s office. That’s when my husband called Dr. Andersen-Mercer. What a god send it is to have a vet come see your pet in the comfort of your own home. But add Dr. Andersen sweet disposition, dedication and compassion and it was truly the best vet experience we have ever had.
She treated our dog in front of the entire family. She made us all feel very comfortable and assured us that she would get to the bottom of our dogs seizures, and that she did.
Dr. Anderson went above and beyond to find out what was wrong with our fur baby. She was in constant contact with us to make sure our doggie was responding well to treatment.
I am so happy we have such a caring and dedicated vet to care for all our fur babies. And I am more than happy to say that our senior dog is thriving and back to her normal self!
Thank you, Dr. Andersen for giving us more time with our beloved doggie.”
“I’ll start by saying if you want the best care for your pet it is Dr. Andersen. Yes, she comes to your house and it is the best thing ever. She is so natural, friendly and genuine. Tells it like it is. Our bulldog Mack had eye issues, ear issues. He needed surgery on his ear and she made it seem less. (With the help of Jodi who is in expert in Bulldogs). She always followed up and made herself always available. Can’t say enough good things. She is the best.”
“Our rescue dog, River, met Dr. Andersen for the first time last week. He loved her from the very first minute he saw her...and you could tell that the feeling was mutual! We brought River to the animal hospital this morning, for Dr. Andersen to perform a dental cleaning. River’s teeth not only look amazing, but more important, he was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. We are so happy we found her. Best Vet Ever!!!”

“Such wonderful compassionate vet care. Way above and beyond expectation. Godsend!”
“Vet on wheels gets many gold stars! Our dog needed acl repair and Dr. Anderson guided us the entire way through. She helped us evaluate the options, rec. a top notch surgeon and guided us to a fabulous animal hospital for the surgery. Afterwards she has made herself available for answering every last question and concern that we have had. Our pup is making a speedy recovery and we could not have done it without Dr. Anderson and team.”
“Dr. Anderson is amazing! She is gentle, kind, and talks you through every step of the way. It’s clear she’s a real animal lover. My dog Remmy loves her!”
“Dr Anderson is great.....very loving, caring and compassionate.”

“He IS pretty mushy! He adores u guys @veterinarianonwheels !! But can’t say I blame him...he’s a really good judge of character! U guys are BEYOND amazing! Thank u, thank u, thank u for being there 24/7 (LITERALLY) and for taking such great care of our Zeus!!! (And Apollo 😉) The services u provide (besides your love and expertise) are insane!

U are a rare find and we are beyond lucky to have found u!💋😘❤️🤗XOXO”
“Dr. Andersen and her staff are incredible!!! They are warm, compassionate, loving and and amazing with our feline babies.
Dr. Andersen understands that our kitties are more than just pets- they are family! She takes the BEST care of our 20 year old Persian and we love that we no longer have to stress her out and bring her out of the house to the vets office.
I wouldn’t trust anyone but VOW to take care of my animals. We are so incredibly grateful to have Dr. Andersen and co in our lives, she is a gem!!!”
“Thank you Dr. Andersen and your compassionate staff for your spot on diagnosis and quick action.
In my 60+ years you are in the top two vets I have encountered. The other vet being Dr Wise, Miami Fl.
My dog was very sick. I could feel the will to live slipping away. You stabilized him. I wanted to take him home. You followed up on him throughout the day and into the evening and when you heard his symptoms you knew his condition had degraded, you called the emergency clinic and told them to prepare for his arrival.
You counseled with the emergency staff. Max went into ICU.
I credit you with saving his life. You continue to monitor his condition and provide for his medical well being. I am grateful beyond words that my companion of 17 years will stick around for a wile.
I highly recommend Dr. Andersen.”
“Such a caring practice! My wife, (Danielle Bachor Gussin), and I are very grateful to Dr. Andersen for helping us with a scary situation with our dog, Charles. She calmed us down immediately with her knowledge of what was happening and made sure we fully understood the path until our little fur baby was out of the woods. Thank you!”
“Dr Kristen Andersen and her staff are always so compassionate, great with my cat who is very scared and I am amazed at how they can get any animal to respond to them! they are the best! I recommend them to anyone who can use the at home service - they are a GODSEND!”
“I would be lost without this team. I have five pets and Dr. Anderson and her stellar team have cared for each of them. The fact that they come to my home at convenient hours is priceless. My 17 year old feline has a thyroid issue that is managed very well with this team. I can’t say enough good things. My kitties and pups are quite relaxed when this veterinary team comes to visit. Give them a try and I think you’ll be quite pleased!”
“We love Dr. Anderson! She has taken such great care of our pup!! She is conscious of the expense of having a pet and won’t recommend anything superfluous. Having a mobile vet who is is digital makes life so easy. We highly recommend Veterinarian on Wheels!”
“We love Dr. Andersen! We struggled with my pup pooping 4-5 times a day, often in the middle of the night. Dr. Andersen recommended food allergy testing and we discovered she is allergic to... just about everything. Instead of spending more money and time on various food trials and further irritating Sally’s belly, we quickly were able to research to find a food that worked for her. Within a week things started to change and two weeks in, Sally (and all of us) are doing so much better. We are so grateful! Dr. Andersen is smart, compassionate, and Sally recommends her highly.”
“When we first met Dr. Anderson and Chili was not in good shape. She was very lethargic, groaning in pain and having trouble walking. She was put on a steroid by the prior vet which was causing her to pant frantically and gain weight. We were very concerned that she was not going to make it much longer. A friend recommended Dr. Anderson, and with her help, Chili was diagnosed with a Thyroid issue requiring medication, and laser treatment was suggested to help her hind legs, In one month’s time, Chili has come back to life! She is energetic and full of life. The laser treatment has improved her hind legs to the point where she is running and even jumping! Thank you Dr. Anderson and Nicole for all you do, it has made a huge difference in Chili’s quality of life and we are so grateful.”
“From “Mrs. B” ..... where do I even begin !! I have followed Dr. Anderson all over Long Island ! That being said I am the most “skeptical” person on the planet and have very high “standards” of what I expect of a medical professional, perhaps working in the medical field has contributed to my being so cautious, I “dissect” and analyze everything ! Dr. Anderson is the most incredible doctor I have ever met! Not only is she brilliant, highly intellectual, she has never ever waivered in caring for the “patient” first! She totally understands how much my “kids” mean to me. She is very loyal and compassionate yet will not rob you or your bank account ! She always amazes me that her demeanor is so humble, she simply sees caring for our “kids” as a passion, if you are ever blessed enough to cross her travels, you won’t find a more loving, compassionate veterinarian who TRULY cares about your animal more than the love of of making money ! I can go on and on about how much I respect her, and sincerely love her she treats us like family ! She cares so much about her patients, and has never let the world of “business” we live in today cloud her heart ! I highly recommend her in every way, wether it’s a simple visit for annual shots or an emergency she will never fail you... or your animal ! She is incredibly “gifted” and we are so blessed and proud to have only the very BEST veterinarian on Long Island care for our pets.... to us they are our children ...there are no words I can write to thank her for all her dedication to us and her “patients” she truly is an amazing human being ! You will NOT be disappointed choosing her :)”
“There isn’t enough I could possibly say about Dr. Krissy!!! My dog Vinny “the head” Gigante was suffering with allergies for quite some time. Krissy met him and diagnosed exactly what was wrong with him and fixed it in no time. This is one Vet that is truly about the animal and not just the business!!! No one else will ever care for my pets again!!!”
“Hi, Dr. Andersen aka “Krissy” asked me to “put my snout in” if I got a chance regarding my treatment for a lacerated paw. My name is Sailor the Golden Doodle (that’s my picture at the top of the stairs). I live on a houseboat in Port Washington with big people Apryl and Jan. I was out running as fast as ever in the surf and stepped on something very sharp. I didn’t know it at the time, what with the saltwater, and the excitement of chasing the waves, the ball, the rocks, you know how playing is all consuming. But I digress; the next thing I know my back starboard paw hurt like a “bitch” and I was limping and bleeding all over. Well, Apryl did some “first aid” she called it; and I took a “puppy nap” and I awoke to find Krissy. She had a manner about her, reassuring, gentle, confidant; and used a lot of words I didn’t quite understand with Apryl and Jan like “antibiotics” and “sutures”. I got to know her rather well as she came back a few more times to fix me up. Krissy did a great job (I’m my usual rambunctious self at the dog park) and she is one of the nicest two legged creatures ever; I am a much better dog for knowing her.
If you ever need a good licking Krissy, stop by the boat any time.
Woof!
Sailor
Your former patient and new friend”
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Kristen in action on multiple occasions, and in multiple capacities. They ranged from checking on a cat that had bad gas, to a dog having grand mal seizures and severe pancreatitis. She prefers a “less is more” approach so as not to over medicate the animals, or cause unnecessary worry for the owners. However, when she knows the situation is critical, she attacks the problem very aggressively to ensure the patient is as comfortable as possible and firmly on the road to recovery. I wouldn’t trust my four legged kid’s health to anyone else.”
“Thank you Dr. Kristen Andersen for entering our life. Bridget [my 8 lb. rescued Maltese] has been blessed with having you come to our house and help her over the last few months. Your compassion, your competence and your coming into our home has made all my concerns about the care for my Bridget disappear. I have Bridget home with me now after having to have many teeth removed. Thank you for having her tested for Lyme disease [as I have it now] and then treating her when the result came back positive. I cannot thank you enough..You are G-d’s gift to pet owners.”

“Dr. Andersen is amazing. She is clearly so authentic about caring for animals. She was able to accommodate my schedule and get my annual vaccinations done for all of my animals...something that I have had on my list but just haven’t managed to make time for with my other priorities of kids and work. I would recommend Dr. Andersen to EVERYBODY, but what an amazing resource for busy people. She even dropped off sample medication to my doorstep, she I emailed her about one of my dogs symptoms.”
“Dr. Andersen came today to examine my cat “Leonidas” who, in the past, has had nothing but bad experiences with going to the vet for his checkups. He stresses quite a bit leaving the house and becomes very aggressive in an animal hospital setting (and is asthmatic on top of that!), so we figured we would try a housecall with Dr. A to see if he was any more comfortable being examined at home. The visit was GREAT, and afterwards Leonidas was infinitely happier and not stressed at all, quite the opposite of any other time he has needed veterinary care! He just went back to his regular routine of birdwatching and napping after her visit. I am also a veterinary technician, and I don’t trust my pets with just anyone! I would highly recommend Dr. Andersen’s VOW service for any pets who stress when they go into the animal hospital for their annual checkups or sick visits.
Less stress means a happier, healthier pet and happier pet parents! Thank you for coming to see our fat boy!!”
“Dr Andersen is one of the most caring and compassionate veterinarians I know, as well as being one of the best and most thorough diagnosticians out there. She actually cares about her patients and clients, and its reflected in her medicine. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr Andersen this week; from our very first phone conversation I could tell she would be perfect for Harley. My 11 (almost 12) year old big goldendoodle gets very stressed going to the vet and waiting to be seen. Having Dr Andersen and Jodi come to the house was a calming and peaceful experience for both myself and my senior dog. This was meant to be a “get to know you” wellness visit. Dr Andersen was in no rush to leave and was extremely patient, reassuring and confident in answer all of my many questions. She made me feel very comfortable as we discussed Harley’s medical history and his current situation. She provided multiple options for treatment to gauge where my comfort level was and ultimately help to guide and educate me to the treatment that would be most beneficial for Harley. One amazing part of the experience was the extremely comprehensive report I received the next morning with all the details we spoke about, it was an incredible way of not only keeping track of Harley’s medical history but gave me a chance to read through and ask additional questions if needed. Dr Andersen is unbelievably responsive to both texts and emails; I did have a few additional questions after reading the report and she responded right away AND offered to come back if I needed her to. It is very clear that taking care of animals is her love and passion; she wasted no time getting down on the floor and talk to my fur baby to ensure he was very comfortable with her examining him. She has the sweetest disposition and is extremely dedicated to give 100% to her patients – she said more than once “quality over quantity” is how they run their business. My piece of mind has been eased so much, having a large dog adds challenges and knowing that if something happens to him I don’t have to worry how am I going to get him into the car to go somewhere, there is an incredible option for someone to come to us. I couldn’t be more pleased or recommend this practice any higher. ”
“@veterinarianonwheels came to help #lilythewheaten feel better yesterday! The care was extraordinary and if you are local to Port Washington, NY I’d 100% use Dr. Anderson!!! She was so extremely kind and loving, took her time to get all of Lily’s background. Just another example of a strong woman passionate about helping others! Thank you #veterinarianonwheels !!! #bethechange #leadbyexample #healthyliving”
“Dr. Anderson and her assistant Jodi are amazing! They took excellent care of my friend Smokie at his house yesterday, and he is doing so much better one day later! Thank you!”
“Dr. Andersen and her assistant, Jodi, are fantastic! Our two kitties warmed up to them immediately and the love was mutual. Dr. A took her time with both of our babies. They barely knew they were being examined. She’s a very compassionate and skilled vet. We feel great knowing she’s our kitties’ new vet.”
“Dr Andersen is the best! We could not be happier. She is warm, caring and responsive. She treated my dog as if it was her own. She has a calming presence that everyone including animals that will naturally gravitate to her. My puppy had some weird growth near her paw that was considered a rare condition. Dr Andersen was able to diagnosis it, perform the surgery and kept us in the loop throughout the process and followed up with emails checking up on my baby. You can alway call or email her and she responds immediately. I am so thrilled to have found her!”

“VOW is the most caring, available vet around! Excellent care, prompt replies, available to answer your questions at any time of day or night... Dr. Anderson is just the best vet on LI!”
“Absolutely amazing vet. Personable, kind, so happy to explain anything and everything because she loves your pet just as much as you do. My dog is my child and I will never take my dog to see another vet in Long Island again! They are always welcome in my home!!”

“On October 30, 2017 I had to make one of the hardest decisions ever. My beloved Lily, 15 1/2 years passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Andersen was right there for Lily and me. There were many times over the past year that Dr. Andersen and her staff were there for us - to help Lily out of some scary events but even more, to calm me. I will never forget that day or Dr. Andersen for her compassion. She is the best!”
“My family is so happy that we found Dr. Andersen, thanks to my dear neighbor who used her and only said wonderful things about her. I can see why. Our 4 year our dog, Apollo, was constantly itching, scratching and licking himself...he got so bad that he had scabs, blisters and losing his hair. My son made baby clothes for him to wear because Apollo was in so much pain if you touched him. We tried so many different foods and and no success. We first met Dr. Andersen in January 2018...she did a whole work up on him and suggested that the only way to get to the bottom of this if we do blood work and see what he is allergic to...With much success blood work revealed that he was allergic to everything! Dr. Andersen indicated that a vaccine can be developed to build up his immune system (we were a little hesitate) ...so we started giving Apollo shots, he responded so well, his hair is coming back, no more itchiness, excessive scratchiness, overall he looks so much healthier. We can’t thank Dr. Andersen enough for her caring, dedication and compassion. She is a wonderful person who really cares about what she does. She spends time with us and Apollo loves her!!!”
