Murray Hill Pet Hospital

Dr Dan and his staff are the best you can get anywhere visit them and see for yourselves friendly kind and very professional good vibes there at Murray Hill have a great day

Dr. Dan and staff are terrific. They are caring professionals at every step - from making the appointment through to the follow up calls/texts to make sure my pet was okay. My doggie is 14.5 years old and intensely dislikes going to the vet but she was calmer and more willing to cooperate at Murray Hill. The gentle examination of my beloved pet took place while I was in the room (some vets take the dog away and examine) and all my questions were answered.

One sweet gesture sums it all up - as I was asking my millionth question and my dog was impatiently lying on the floor, Dr Dan got down almost eye level with my doggie as if to reassure her. He and his staff are the best and well worth the subway ride that we have to take to get there!

Having moved around different neighborhoods and trying out different vets, this place is the best, from doctors, technicians, to front desk, you can very clearly tell that everyone there is extremely caring and detail oriented.

Always available to provide the best medical care for your animal. Amazing Dr and amazing staff.

Had a great first visit with Dr Dan! Our dog broke his leg a few months ago and is still recovering with external pins. We are new to NY and given my dog's complicated medical history (intestinal surgery followed by broken leg within one year!), we were nervous about finding a good fit for our 11 yo dog. We felt very comfortable with the examination and he took extra time to understand our situation and was very patient about explaining everything to us.

I am so happy I discovered this place! First time we actually had a great experience with a vet. Very understanding and very friendly and caring, her and the whole team I dealt with were great. And they were very respectful to help keep the cost down for my while still treating my cat who is not easy to deal with. I highly suggest this place! Especially compared to others in the midtown area.

Trust worthy my dog is a senior they are really nice to her and they always inform me of things I can do or medicines to help her arthritis which is her only really issue. She's been getting these shots that' slows down the arthritis damage and it has really helped so much

I was able to get in right away as the owner of a new patient. Dr. Dan provided competent care, while subtly and compassionately conveying that my elderly dog is nearing the end of her lifespan. I was already aware of this and nervous about finding a realistic, but kind vet to care for her in what is likely to be her final year. I feel confident that Dr Dan will keep her comfortable as long as possible and provide good advice when that is not longer practical.

Dr. Dan has been my cats' veterinarian for a long time. I am always confident in his diagnosis, thoughts and recommendations. What I love about him is his true passion toward helping animals and being there for them and their human families. The office staff and vet techs are friendly and always accommodating as well. We are so lucky to have someone like Dr. Dan in our neighborhood! 1/7/2021: I want to write further review about Murray Hill Pet Hospital, Dr. Dan and the staff.

The way they handled their business during pandemic is really incredible. They were careful, having people with their pets come strictly by appointments, few at a time (even just to pick up medication) but they kept their compassion intact and their level of service far beyond incredible. I lost 2 of my senior cats recently. Dr. Dan, Joan and Chris knew them for many years.

Their compassion to my cats and kindness to me meant so much. I want to thank them all for being there for us for many years. When the time is right and when we can welcome a cat or dog again, we are looking forward to coming back to Murray Hill Pet Hospital.

Amazing! After a bad experience with the ASPCA, a friend recommended Murray Hill. They took us in early the next day (Saturday morning) and did an amazing job with my pet Grayson. He's much better today and almost back to his old self. The ASPCA was urging us to put him down, but Murray Hill gave us hope and a plan of action for recovery. A+

Lauridia put my cat on a strict diet of food that was not complete and balanced nutrition. It was, in fact, marked "for intermittent feeding only." According to AAFCO pet food labeling standards, if a food does NOT provide complete and balanced nutrition, it must be labeled "for intermittent feeding only," or similar words. I brought this up to him twice but he assured me the diet was alright, and that I shouldn't give him any dry food at all (I had a bag of renal support dry food that WAS complete and balanced nutrition).

He lost 4 lbs. in 4 months, going from 14 to 10 lbs. Lauridia thought this drastic weight loss was OK, joking that he wished he could lose weight like that himself. Next, when I brought him in for constipation he totally missed that he was dehydrated and needed fluid + electrolytes immediately. I only learned too late that he exhibited EVERY classic sign of dehydration in the book, constipation being one of them.

He needed fluids, he needed electrolytes, but he didn't get them. Instead, Lauridia gave him an enema the result of which he declined rapidly within a couple of hours, so instead of bringing him home that day I was strongly advised by him to consent to euthanasia, which I did, thinking it was the kindest thing. Lauridia's technique of euthanasia was so horrific, likely causing unnecessary pain and terror in my pet, and a shock which I will never get over, that I can't describe it fully here.

It was not an approved method prescribed by the Humane Society's pdf on pet euthanasia. It looked liked torture, my cat being positioned like a human being pilloried as punishment. And this cat never struggled or resisted or tried to bite or scratch when being handled at the vet's, not once in 13 years.

Lauridia's "care" turned my strong playful healthy cat into a weakened malnourished cat inside of 4 months.

I buried my Rudy on Saturday 9/19/2015 in my family's rose garden and ordered a memorial headstone. I live with no one else and have no other pet. I work from home and Rudy and I were together all day every day. Everything in my apartment reminds me of him. BTW, I do have one positive thing to say: The women working at the front desk were always very nice and compassionate.
