Staten Island Born and Raised

Across from the local fields and trails, we’re woven into the same spaces where you and your pets spend time every day. Being part of this community isn’t just where we’re located…it’s who we are.

Proudly Local. Proudly Community.

On Staten Island, our pets are our family. At Mid Island Veterinary Practice, we are committed to providing compassionate care and treating your pets as if they were our own.

Here, you will find an accessible team, whether supporting local rescues, participating in or hosting community events, visiting schools, or mentoring future veterinary professionals. We’re proud to invest in the community that raised us.

End-of-Life Care and Hospice Care

Every pet we care for is part of the community we call home. That’s why we’ll always be your neighbors as much as your veterinarians. And that means walking by your side when you need us most, offering gentle guidance, comfort, and a peaceful goodbye for your pet’s final moments.

Surgery

Our team provides every patient with careful monitoring, advanced pain management, and the same compassion we’d want for our own pets, no matter the surgery (dental, soft tissue, specialized with our Board Certified veterinary surgeon, and more).

“We would never recommend something we wouldn’t do for our own pets.”
Dr. Massa and Dr. DiGiuseppi, Owners and Founders of Mid Island Veterinary Practice.

From Staten Island, For Staten Island

Meet Dr. Massa & Dr. DiGiuseppi
Dr. Courtney Massa and Dr. James DiGiuseppi were both born and raised on Staten Island. Just two kids with a love for animals, they turned their dreams into reality. Their paths crossed while attending veterinary school, and they have been friends ever since. Working together at various practices right here on Staten Island, Dr. Courtney and Dr. James always knew they wanted to open a veterinary hospital of their own. Mid Island Veterinary Practice is the realization of that dream, and a way to give back to the community that shaped them.

These kind words reflect the trust, compassion, and partnership we work to build with every family who walks through our doors.

Dr. DiGiuseppe of Mid Island Veterinary Practice provided exceptional care. Thanks to their expertise and genuine compassion, our pet is doing great. The clinic is welcoming and clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this practice to all pet owners.

I can’t say enough good things about Courtney & James – they are exactly what you would want in a Vet. They’re empathetic, knowledgeable, kind and patient. My cat was rushed there on a Saturday and they took care of him right away. Unfortunately it was a very short battle with cancer. They answered every phone call, email, message etc. Their staff was phenomenal and showed Ollie so much love. They supported me and my family during one of the hardest experiences. The compassion they showed us will never be forgotten. Thank you both for all you did for Ollie – it is so appreciated.

Kaitlyn M.

Had my first visit to Mid Island Vet Practice today with my two cats, Luna & Miso, and I couldn’t be happier. The office was immaculately clean and smelled amazing—truly unlike any vet I’ve ever been to. The staff was so kind and gentle with my cats; you can tell they’re Fear Free Certified. I really appreciated that all vaccines and diagnostics were done right in the room with me. Pricing was very reasonable and I was even able to get a same-day appointment. Overall, a wonderful experience—we’ll definitely be returning!

Dr. Digiuseppi and the team at Mid Island Vet Practice is outstanding. He’s knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in my pet’s well-being. He always takes the time to explain everything clearly, and it’s obvious he truly cares about providing the best care possible. I highly recommend him and the whole team.

Dr. DiGiuseppi and Dr. Massa are amazing. My rescue dog has tons of issues and both doctors are extremely comforting, caring, and knowledgeable. In emergency situations, they always make time in their busy schedule to see us. They deserve a huge portion of the credit in allowing my dog to live a normal, comfortable, and happy life.

I just found this place near where I live after my regular vet’s appointment got canceled. The staff found an appointment time on the same day for my dog. The vet tech and the doctor were so friendly and professional. Now I don’t need to worry about my dog’s fleas and ticks, heartworm combo pill is going to be out of stock while I’m away from NYC for more than 2 weeks. I recommend this vet for folks near this location. It is very convenient for me.
