Veterinarians in New York

“Just had our first visit and I am blown away!!! My 70-lb bully mix, Ferdinand, absolutely hates vet visits and this is the only office that made him feel comfortable enough to even be touched. Dr. East & Jessica were incredibly kind and understanding, even when Ferdie started to act out which I felt so bad about. He didn't need a muzzle during the exam which was shocking because we've tried 4 other vets in the city this year alone, and none of them were able to lay a single finger on him. Dr. East & Jessica sat on the floor with Ferdie and were super reassuring with him the entire time. Even when he started to snap at them, they were so calm and patient as opposed to all the other vets we've tried who got offended and refused to try comforting him. You can tell they truly love animals and had my dog's best interests in mind. The ladies at the front desk were also so lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone on the search for a new vet, especially if you have an anxious baby like mine. I am so grateful I found this office - finally one that I trust and plan to go back to. Thank you to the entire RVCOC team!“

“Everyone was super kind, knowledgeable, and very good with the cat. It seems like they are expert with procedures as well. They were terrific with working us into their schedule and really listened to my concerns, answered my questions. The place is clean and welcoming. Their pricing structure is fair and clear.“

“The front-desk staff is welcoming, informative, courteous and efficient. Dr. Julia Barnhart, who examined my cat, was knowledgeable, caring, and forthcoming with her time and attention. I couldn't have asked for better.“

“In the saddess day, Riverside Animal Hospital treat me and my dog with compation, gave me privacy and time to hold her and say goodbye.“

“We HIGHLY recommend West Village Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Angela Hildenbrand. Dr. Hildenbrand is empathetic, compassionate, highly intelligent, and well-versed in veterinary care. She is also humble enough to know her limitations and help arrange appointments with specialists (the next day!) who can properly diagnose specialized issues.

Our dog, unfortunately, passed from his multiple chronic conditions, but our lasting memory of Dr. Hildenbrand will be her compassion toward our little guy. He was rapidly losing weight and had a diminished appetite in his final days, unable to lift his head due to a fast-growing mass on his neck. Without hesitation, Dr. Hildenbrand grabbed a can of food, got down on the floor, and began hand-feeding him at his level. Somehow she was able to get him to eat during our visit. It makes us tear up every time we think about it. In the nearly 15 years of our beautiful dog's life, we have never witnessed that level of compassion shown to him and us, his parents. If and when the time comes for us to get another dog, we will be seeing Dr. Hildenbrand WITHOUT A DOUBT. We enthusiastically recommend her and West Village Veterinary Hospital.“

“Staff are very professional, friendly with Mya and they answer all my questions. The location is very clear and the doctor toke she time explaining everything to me.“

“All I have to say it’s great, they treat the fur babies with lots of love and care, what also helps they it’s affordable!“

“I can't say enough good things about Dr. Meltzer's practice. His care is so caring, compassionate, attentive and of course competent! Everyone at the practice has been the most helpful and responsive! I feel full confidence that our two senior cats are in the best and most capable hands!!“

“West Chelsea has been our clinic of choice for 15 years. While the doctors change thru the years, they are all committed to excellence. One noticeable difference is that most of their vets are women. I find that women have a greater degree of empathy that I hope for in my vet.“

“I absolutely love it here. I have brought my big boy Theodore here for a check up and my new little kitten Rosalie here for her first check up! I absolutely love this place the staff is very nice and Victoria is the absolutely the best. The new kitten WILL be getting spayed by her because I trust her so much. You can tell she truly loves and cares for my pets just as much as I do. I highly recommend and low key wish I could work here. ?
Also, I think it’s important to note. This is a very CLEAN environment as well!!“

“Dr Lowenstein went above and beyond to help me with my fur baby. It’s hard enough as a human to move, and I knew it would be stressful on my fur babe. Dr Lowenstein was able to give her a full examination to ensure she was ready to fly. My cat tends to be tender and sweet, but nervous - he eased her, and prepped her for flight which went wonderfully! Now she’s united with me, and we are thrilled!“

“Been taking canine and feline patients to this place for over 10 years. We always get such attentive and empathetic care here. From the loving front desk professionals to the vets, everyone is so kind and smart.“

“Incredibly compassionate and intelligent veterinarian. Can't recommend enough at how great he was in explaining things and figuring out an effective and efficient protocol“

“Dr. Pietrzyk and her staff are so kind and empathetic. They couldn't have been more gentle with my little cat, or caring to us, when we had to say goodbye. Euthanasia is always emotional, but they made us all feel so cared for, and supported. Dr. Pietrzyk explained everything so thoroughly, and gave us as much time as we needed before and after. I had never been to this practice before, but their kindness and compassion didn't make it feel that way at all. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and truly caring vet, I can't recommend this practice enough.“

“The City Pets team are the absolute best in the city - they provided top notch care for our dog Cody in his senior years after vet visits became way too stressful for him. Other home vets turned us away because they couldn’t handle Cody’s many chronic medical issues, but Dr. Attas, Dr. Dalton, and their entire team welcomed him with so much care and compassion and helped add many many more years to Cody’s life. They helped us navigate countless health issues and emergencies, never giving up on Cody and helping him pull through every time. They always slotted us in when it was an emergency and were always very responsive, even on nights and weekends. When it came time to say goodbye, they handled everything with so much love and warmth and Cody was so at peace with them. Without a doubt Cody would not have lived such a long, full life without their care. They are truly the best of the best!“

“I cannot say enough positive things about Rivergate and Peter Kross. I have been seeing him for all of my furbabies since 1997. Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, caring and one of the best humans I know. The staff is wonderful as well. Kim, Alex, Leo.. their loyalty to the practice and dedication to the patients is unmatched. Thank you all for all you have done for me and my babies over the last 27 years!“

“This is the first vet that hasn’t ripped me off and doesn’t cost a fortune. With their experienced insight my pet has never looked better and been more loving. Thanks!“

“Dr. Dolorosa has been a wonderful vet to our cats. We took them in to have their teeth cleaned, and one needed extractions, which were performed really well. Dr. Dolorosa is a true professional. When we went back with one cat a year or so ago because we had been advised by another professional to do so, Dr. Dolorosa, instead of just taking the opportunity to do a cleaning said that we could and should wait. We appreciated her honesty so much, as cleanings are, justifiably, a considerable expense. We will be returning to her to get our cats' teeth cleaned again. It is great to work with someone whom you can trust on all levels.“

“My dog Mia has been a patient of Dr. Lee's for over 10 years. I feel so grateful that we found Dr. Lee. She is everything you could imagine wanting in a vet -- compassionate, kind, skilled, knowledgeable, and so smart. She cares about Mia and her well being and how she is feeling. She makes sure she gets the care she needs but doesn't put her through unnecessary tests or treatments. She is incredibly responsive when I reach out with questions or concerns. Once when Mia had an emergency, Dr. Lee was an absolute rockstar (externally very calm but behind the scenes making sure Mia was getting the very best care.) We love Dr. Lee and TSAH!! 11/10“

“STAFF AMAZING, shout out to Dr.Meltzer!! She has gone far and beyond to make sure my cat has everything needed for international travel. The office, the staff and treatment is top tier. I will always recommend One Love animal hospital. I am moving internationally but would have stayed always with this staff !! Thank you again for all that you do for our furry babies ??“

“I been coming to St. Marks vet for the past 35yrs, they are my vet care and I they have always treated me and my pets well! I wouldn't go anywhere else!“

“Just the best vet I've ever been to, and I've had cats for (eek) 35 years! I recently had to have my 16-year-old, very sick cat euthanized suddenly, and my regular (big chain) vet service told me I'd have to wait for hours and hours before they could see me (and also that they'd have to charge me an "emergency appointment fee," ugh). So I called Midtown, and Dr. Suchanek let me come in immediately. And he could not have been lovelier -- let me sit and cuddle Mouse for the last time before the procedure, gave me as much time as I needed with him, then was so incredibly kind afterward... And his prices are shockingly reasonable, especially for Manhattan! Since then I've taken my younger cat in as well, and the doc has been really calm and thorough -- I've never felt rushed -- and he even called several times after, to check on how Scamp was doing. Also, it may seem like a small thing, but the office is clean, pretty, and peaceful. And even when I was terribly upset, the staff was super nice and patient. I've been to several other vets (and, lately, chains) in my decades of being a pet owner, and this is the first time I've wanted to write a review, because I'm just so grateful to have found them!“

“Dr. Spencer has done a great job helping me with my little rescue dog who is full of allergies and a recurring infection. The staff is kind and professional and I recently say Dr. Dwyer who is also terrific“

“A Heartfelt Thank You to the Animal Endocrine Clinic & Dr. Peterson for Saving Our Cat’s Life!

We are beyond grateful for the incredible care our 12-year-old cat received at the Animal Endocrine Clinic! Our sweet girl was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and thanks to Dr. Peterson’s expert I-131 treatment, she has not only been cured but is now back to her playful, happy self. It's truly miraculous to see her with so much energy again, as if she’s returned to her younger days.

Often, when things go right in the veterinary world, we forget to leave a review. But the amazing care and results we experienced deserve to be shared. The staff at the clinic was compassionate, thorough, and kept us informed at every step of the process. Dr. Peterson's knowledge and the clinic's cutting-edge treatment saved our kitty’s life, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

If you have a pet struggling with hyperthyroidism, I-131 treatment is a life-saving option, and there is no better place for it than the Animal Endocrine Clinic. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for giving us more time with our beloved girl.“

“THE best vet I have had in NYC. Personal and genuine care. Reasonable cost and they are giving you the care that’s required instead of trying to add on a lot of services and fees. Wouldn’t take my 2 pugs anywhere else. Everyone is so kind.“
