We love Niskayuna Animal Hospital. The staff is always kind and knowledgeable- I feel like we can always be seen in a timely manner, and the experience is as stress free as I think a vet visit can be! Dr. Geagan is patient, calm and careful. At our last visit she answered SO many questions for me, and spent an unbelievable amount of time with us- I feel very safe bringing our pet here!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Niskayuna Animal Hospital! The entire team is kind, professional, and genuinely caring from the moment you walk through the door. Dr. Geagan is exceptional, compassionate, knowledgeable, and thorough. She takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief to have a veterinary team you can trust. I highly recommend Niskayuna Animal Hospital and Dr. Geagan to anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality veterinary care!

Dr. Geagan and her staff have always been so great to work with, and today was no exception! Our 10 year old dog had to have teeth extracted & was facing his first time under anesthesia. (FYI … This is the same dog who Dr Geagan saved from heartworm when i first adopted him 7 years ago). As has always been my experience, Dr. Geagan provided Charlie with excellent quality of care, thorough information on what she found post procedure, and a level of kindness and compassion that makes you realize how important the animals in her care are to her. Jennifer helped right from the outset by getting me an accurate estimate so we could prepare financially & in doing the post op check out answering any questions that I had about after care. The office staff is always pleasant and kind ….even helping thus nervous dog mom make it through today. There is a reason I have been with Dr Geagan ever since i met her & have truly trusted her for all of my animals care. She is the best.

5 star review! I had my dog spayed there Thursday. I was, as usual, very happy with the service. Dr. Geagan and her staff always go out of their way to answer any questions/ concerns I have. They even called the next day to check on her to make sure she was recovering well and I didn’t have any further questions!

This is an unusual review. I had an accident outside of this clinic. An employee, Briana, called work immediately for being late and stayed with me until she could give a police report. Based on her integrity and willingness to help, I’d absolutely trust this practice to help my furry babies. They clearly hire the best professionals & I hope I get to repay Briana & team one day. Thank you for being great neighbors!

My husband and I brought our 3 1/2 month old corgi puppy to the Niskayuna Animal Hospital on a friend's recommendation. We are so happy to have chosen this veterinarian. Dr. Geagan and her staff (particularly Kelly, Chris and Danielle) are obviously devoted to the animals they care for. No question is too dumb or too trivial and the practice is very responsive to inquiries. Additionally, the practice is clean and DOES NOT SMELL; the staff have senses of humor, our puppy approves of the treats provided and the protocol of waiting in one's car to be summoned for one's appointment is GENIUS. We've had three appointments since March 10 and have been seen promptly. All hallmarks of a superior practice.

Dr. Geagan has been spot on in providing necessary veterinary care for our cat Tarot. Of particular note she relates so well with her that it has a calming effect on her even when she was stressed out. Tarot recently needed to be euthanized and the way Dr. Geagan related to Tarot and to me as well epitomized the highest level of care and interpersonal capability that I truly appreciate.

Our FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

For most adult dogs and cats, we recommend a comprehensive wellness exam once a year. For senior pets or those with chronic conditions, our clinical team suggests visits every six months. This allows us to catch health shifts early and adjust care accordingly based on your pet's specific needs within the Capital Region.

Yes! We are always happy to welcome new families to our practice. If you are looking for a community-based veterinarian who treats your pet like family, please call our office to schedule your first visit.

Dental disease can lead to systemic issues like heart or kidney disease. Our professional pet dentistry includes thorough cleanings and oral assessments to prevent pain. If you notice bad breath, red gums, or chewing changes, it’s time for a dental evaluation with Dr. Geagan.

Safety is our top priority. Every surgical patient receives a pre-anesthetic exam and an anesthesia protocol designed specifically for them. During surgery, our team uses advanced monitoring equipment and personalized pain management protocols to ensure your pet is stable and comfortable from drop-off to recovery.
