“The staff was so kind to my cat and sweet with her. She was very scared at first but warmed up to them. Everyone worked really hard to understand what was going on with my cat’s stomach and why she kept vomiting. They took her temperature, did her blood work, x rays, gave her fluids, an antibiotic, an anti acid , and she didn’t feel a thing! They sent her home with a can of digestive care food, an antibiotic, and told me to give her half a Pepcid every day. I appreciate how thorough they were. Great job. And my cat is starting to feel better.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“The staff is great. The doctors are very caring and take the time to answer all your questions and concerns. Provide excellent care for what is needed. Genuine group of people and professionals whose priority is the well being of our animals.”
“I want to thank the doctors who treated my son whose name is Pisco, an adorable Shih tzu. He arrived in very poor health and with the treatment he received he returned to life. Thank you on behalf of me and my family”
“Dr. Pernice is awesome. He saw Remmie on a rush basis, and even though he squeezed him in, he took the time to be as thorough and professional as always. The entire staff is always helpful and courteous.
Shout out to Rosa and Brianna for their excellent and personable customer service skills.”
“This is your go to clinic. I called and they got me scheduled for an appointment in 45 minutes. They are kind, caring, and nurturing. Dr. Chan is very humble and gentle. My kitty doesn’t usually prefer men, but Duncan very much approved of him. Didn’t get the best news today, but the staff handled his results with care and made me feel like my baby was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Monty got scratched by a cat during our morning walk and so I ran him to this vet (nearest one open). Despite there not being any available appointments, they were able to get a technician to see my dog immediately.
The front desk people and the technician were very kind and attentive. I sincerely appreciate the quick response and understanding.
Thank you all so much for your kindess today.”
“My doggie needed teeth cleaning and there was a lump growing on one of her mammary glands. I wanted it taken care of so she can be healthy since she's part of the family! Took a while to get an appointment as a new patient I called a few times just to secure one. Once I got a consultation and saw the veterinarian (who is amazing). So I scheduled her teeth cleaning and surgery day. She's a very small dog around 5lbs she was a bit concerned for her. When I picked her up after surgery she was definitely not happy and snapped at me but I understood the ordeal that she thought I put her through even for her own good! Anyways, after a few days giving her meds and cleaning her wound she started perking up and acting like herself which was faster than I expected! Animals are resilient! I am so glad I found Juniper Valley for my furry bf because it's close by home and there's the beautiful Juniper Park which after appts (not surgery) we can go for a nice walk.”
“Everyone at Nassau Vet is very friendly and helpful to me and to Spencer!
They are also very reasonably priced!
I enjoy bringing Spencer to Nassau Vet! ❤”
“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.”
“We’ve been with Worth Street Vet for as long as I can remember. Every doctor who had cared for our pets are compassionate and committed to providing the best care for us as possible. I could not recommend a better group of doctors to care for your fur babies.”
“Was a lifesaver. I had a virtual consultation with a vet when my dog wasn’t feeling well. I bought through them - but found out it wouldn’t arrive until a week later and no Vet is willing to fill a prescription from another vet. Was so glad that Wespaw was able to deliver same day! Truly a lifesaver!”
“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!”
“I never write reviews but this one is necessary! Dr. Pozo is truly a gem, she’s so warm and gracious and puts you right at ease! She squeezed me in to see my two newly adopted cats when I found out one of them was given to me sick. She examined them both and prescribed medicine, taking the time to teach me how to administer and tips on how to keep the cats calm and how to prevent myself from getting scratched! She has since been very kind to answer all my follow up worry some questions and has also taken care of my dog. If you’ve been searching for a vet, I highly recommend you put your trust in Dr. Pozo!”
“No long waits for the appointment which is such a plus. It's also possible to get same day appointment if you call opening time (I'm not sure if it's guaranteed though or whether they have separate same day appointment slots).
Doctors and nurses are very patient with you and the pets. They explain everything thankfully.
They also mentioned that you can get prescriptions from chewy when you put their details and once they approve it. I haven't had the need to try this out yet”
“I am really glad I made the move from where I previously took my pets to PVMG (formerly CVA). The staff is compassionate and caring, which is incredibly important to a pet parent. They are professional and considerate and remember you. It seems this is true for most of the staff at their other locations, even over the phone, helping you make appointments at another clinic to get your pet in if they need more immediate service.
I would like to single out Dr. Frank DeFeis, who is one of the best veterinary doctors I have been to in the 30 years I have been a pet parent. He has treated three of my cats. One was originally diagnosed by two other doctors with cancer due to her nasal bleeding. Because I couldn't afford certain high-priced diagnostics (although the average market price for radiology across NYC vet clinics), he patiently tried various avenues with medicine and tests over a three-month period, and eventually, he found it was a bacterial infection, and cured it. My other cat, who does indeed have bone cancer, has been treated by Dr. DeFeis with love, kindness, and patience to keep him alive with quality of life while explaining everything along the way to me (and dealt with my quasi-hysteria over it). His use of herbology and acupuncture as well as traditional medicine has allowed me more time with my cat, and he has gone above and beyond to help a pet parent with anticipatory grief.
I cannot recommend him highly enough, and the office staff at both the Bayside site and the Forest Hills location have been incredibly compassionate. Thank you.
UPDATE:
I am also very grateful to Dr. Ottenbreit, who is also incredibly kind, caring and knowledgeable. She took over my pets' care when Dr. DeFeis moved to the main location. Her and Muhammad the main Vet Tech/Nurse (Veterinarian Reaident??) and the whole tean made my terminal cat's transition into spirit as loving and good a send off as one would hope. We put him to sleep yesterday, which is two months after my initial post. The staff were rooting for me and my pet family, and the tender care they gave us is forever appreciated.
If you care about your pets, take them here.

“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!!”
“They accommodated me and my Stella. Staff is super friendly, empathetic and Dr. Skorobogatova was super understanding, helpful and amazing. Definitely recommend and appreciate them.”
“I’ve known Ashley for a few years now. I have nothing but great things to say. She has always been so helpful and knowledgeable and compassionate. My 13 year old dog Bowser wasn’t doing so well and it was time to make that hard call. Ashley was there for me and guided me every step when it came down to giving my dog peace. I’m so grateful for Ashley and Dr. E and their practice! Bowser was comfortable up and we had a peaceful passing for him. Thank you Ashley for always being there for me and for him! You loved him so much. Thank you.”
“We always have a great experience with grooming at University Animal Hospital with Gracia! We've been seeing her for years between 2 pups, who always receive lots of love and great care.”
“I love Park Slope Vet Center. They have cared for a few of my cats over the years. They are compassionate and supportive. Always giving good advice without judgement or trying to sell you services. When our last cat was at the end of her life they helped us understand our options and gave our sweet girl a peaceful end to her suffering when it was time. I’d recommend this vet to anyone. They also work with many TNR groups which is so needed in NYC.”
“It’s always a pleasure going to Animal Kind. From the front desk to the back area everyone is always so pleasant. That makes me feel good especially if you are stressed about your pet (when they are sick).”
“What a phenomenon animal hospital/vet they make you feel so comfortable and explain to you step-by-step on what’s going on with your pet I highly recommend you bring your fur babies here !!!”
“This was our first time. Took our 6 year old pet cat for a check up today. Dr Buchalter was wonderful. Very kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Took his time to explain everything to us. If you are looking for a caring and compassionate vet I highly recommend Dr Buchalter.”

“Everyone at All Creatures is so caring and patient. I feel very lucky to be able to bring our two cats here. They are very well cared for and it is always a pleasant visit.”
“My dog had an episode one night where he was dizzy and staring at walls. We took him to the Tribecca emergency room. They charged us over $3K and t9ld us he may have 4 hours left to live because he may be septic. We then went to EVG and they said he may have rectal cancer, the bill was $9700. We then waited 2 days and went to Battey Park Vet, they looked over the results and told us he just had Ecoli. That bill was $120. Had I gone here first I would have saved almost $14K. Dr. Berger and Dr. Lopresti are favorites. Kobe loves them. This vet is like having competent family members.”
“I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Oradell Vet when bringing in our puppy. From the moment we walked in, the staff has been incredibly caring and attentive—not only toward our dog but also toward us as owners. They always take the time to explain any procedures clearly and offer detailed advice on preventative care. It’s evident that they genuinely care about the well-being of the animals and are committed to helping pet owners feel informed and confident in taking care of their pets. I highly recommend Oradell Vet to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional team for their furry family members!”
“5 stars are not enough to rate with excellence the professionalism, knowledge, ethics that Dr. Tello and his team have given us with our pet, we have been attending the therapies and medicine, dietary recommendations administered for his rare case of cancer for a very short time. , our pet is feeling very well and we are confident that in the long term we will see a much better result. Dr Tello and his team, once again thank you a thousand and a thousand for giving us back our Baby's hopes.??✨✨”
