The office itself and staff were very friendly and accommodating in person and over the phone. However I was not entirely satisfied with my pets examination - he was very sick and given antibiotics and for his two week check up I was told he was up to date on everything and was better and looked fine. About a week later the same issues started happening and the village vet didn’t have availability to see him for a while, so I brought him somewhere else where I was told that he was missing vaccinations, his infection never healed, and the medications he was given were not meant for the infection that he had. As friendly as the staff was, this was very concerning to hear as a first time cat owner. I would have appreciated a more thorough check and further knowledge about what was wrong and how it could be fixed. It felt like a very quick, unthoughtful visit, which is why I believe he was still so sick just a week later.

They don’t test before giving medicine gave my dog pills for 14 days and paws are still red Not understanding what the pill did but drain my acount ughhh so sad where are the loving caring vets at that truly care about healing a pet

My dog has been on medication for allergies for years. I take him for his annual every year. It’s been six months and when I went for a refill they wanted me to see the Vet in order to get the refill med. I explained that I did not have the money to see the Vet and pay for the medication that cost 90+ . So they tell me he needs blood work to make sure the medication hasn’t affected his organs. If the Vet thought it was necessary to do blood work they would have requested to draw blood and didn’t two years in a row. My dog is healthy and all was normal in July’s annual but the head tech insisted he needed blood work in order to get a refill for medication he has been on for 8 years. The cost for just blood work alone ranged from 250 to 350 plus the medication90+. I told her I didn’t have money to do all that. I asked to speak to a Vet or the head person and the respond was that they are transitioning and there was no one I could speak to but the head tech. Yet, there was someone seeings clients. The head tech was being told the prices and info from one of the receptionist so she must be part of the new transition. If a dog is diabetic or has heart problems or has been sick yes then they should be checked and have blood work done. But for allergy pills and the dog is healthy its unnecessary. My conclusion, they just want the money and are not focusing on the dog’s best interest cause without my dogs medication the itching is really bad. Do you think she tried to help or speak to the person seeing clients. No Way. I left and don’t plan to take my dog back to them. I never liked that each time you go it’s a different Vet.

Called to get a rough idea of what a dental cleaning would cost for my cat before putting him in a carrier and taking him across town for an initial exam (somewhat stressful experience for cat) and the receptionist was very combative with not giving upper bound pricing details out over the phone.I understand these things are hard to quote but the receptionist could have communicated a lot better. I was interested in coming here but this interaction left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Btw, this practice is under new management. Old practice always found a spot in emergency situations for its clients; new place tells you to go somewhere else.Old practice was sold, so this isn't the same Village Vet it had been for years (and also the reviews are all for the old practice, not the new one). Dr. Moscovitz retired and sold the practice. Nina was amazing and she always found a way to help but she’s not there anymore either.

Once their main Dr. Doctor Oz and Nina left I left. I signed up for insurance for my pet there a year ago and the company doesnt have a way to be contacted to cancel. Nor is Village vet returning my voice mails or emails about canceling. So if youre to go to this vet DO NOT sign up for insurance. I am battling this since July...still being charged monthly.

Best vet in the East Village. My cat was acting strange one morning and we immediately called to see if there was any availability for an appointment. Unfortunately there wasn’t, but the staff there allowed us to drop her off until there was a doctor available to see her. When they could’ve easily said “sorry we don’t have any appointments” and turned us away but allowing us the 2nd option was so appreciated.

Loved it! Staff is very friendly and super professional. My flight was delayed, causing issues with health certificate for my dog, but The Village Vet helped me quickly to make sure we are good to travel. Really appreciate professionalism and quick responsiveness. Great place to take your pet.

I brought my beloved dog Monty on 5/10/23 for the first time to village veterinary the doctors and staff were very helpful and caring. They went above and beyond to help figure out what was causing my dogs illness even though he passed away it wasn't from the lack of trying the great stuff at Village veterinary was professional and compassionate. I thank them for everything they did me and my dog. I highly recommend them.

Great veterinarian compared to some of the seemingly fancy boxed chain options popping up in the neighborhood.The vets here were very thoughtful in helping me weigh the risks, liabilities and costs of care for my elderly cat in a way that I felt was honest and transparent (other vets had ordered me MRIs upon MRIs for thousands of dollars that didn't provide any diagnostic information or change any outcomes). Plus they're very approachable and the care they show for the pets really shines through. I highly recommend. I highly recommend.

The front desk person did not look up to help me. She was just on the computer. After a minute I said im ready to check out. I came the next day to get supplies the next day and she did remember me and was not friendly. Did not say hi, Judy’s looked at me like she was confused why I was there. The results for my pet were not explained and the results for the blood exam never arrived. The doctor was not warm to me and my cat was not at ease. This is was a waste of time and money and effort.

I have been going to Village Vet for years. When My Missy was sick, they were great and when her time came Dr. Murphy was an angel. They have been taking care of Tiny Girl since she came and have been thorough and upfront. Never trying to have me take any un-necessary procedures. They are a neighborhood institution, and I am quite happy with them, through two dogs, and a number of years.

I've been very happy here. Took my last dog well past his estimated lifespan, and now a few visits into my current one. Both big bruiser mastiffs. I think the most important factor is their flexibility to owner decisions. We all want the best of course, but there are financial limits for many, and all veterinary care in the city is pricy. They will guide you to the best decision without predjudice.
