We would like to thank DR.Lerner and her staff for all they did for our cat Milo. They are all caring,loving,personable and helpful.
DR.Lerner took the time to explain everything to us in a caring way.
DR. Lerner stayed with us and told us every step they were doing as Milo was crossing
over the rainbow bridge. They are all very compassionate. We are grateful they took the time to take care of our Milo. They also took care of our cat tinker bell and she is back to a speedy recovery. Thank you for all you and your staff do for cats.

Just For Cats is a wonderful place to bring your cat. I recently lost my cat Chase to many medical conditions. Dr. Lerner and her staff were very informative and supportive to Chase and her family. Thank you for everything. Kathy Bauman

I have been taking my diabetic cat to this vet for a few months. Our cat is getting worse so we have been trying to get an appointment here for two weeks. We had one last week and the doctor's office cancelled because the veterinarian had an emergency. We made an appointment for this week and when we brought him to the office, on time, the doctor refused to see him because we asked why they cancelled our appointment last week. Now my cat can barely walk, he can't jump, and his veterinarian is refusing to see him. Would not recommend this veterinary hospital to anyone who cares about their cat's wellbeing.

I cannot argue the merits of Dr. Lerner, especially the staff. Very knowledgeable, competent and kind. How ever I had a very disappointing experience within the past several weeks. I have in the past referred several new clients to her and made a donation thru her office to a local rescue. My husband has been out of work for 14 mos.and the situation is getting a little desperate, When. I asked if she could do a pro-bono check up on a newly rescued indoor/outdoor cat who needed an initial check up and serious tick control problem she refused and advised that we use Frontline for cats even though I said that OTC products were not effective.
All this was relayed by phone through her (very sweet) assistant. While maybe no vet would have agreed to a free visit, I am taken aback by this response. Have not made a final decision yet but am seriously considering switching to Media Cat Hospital.

My cat had a bump on her head and we took her to the ASPCA to get checked out, they said it was a schist and sent us on our way. well it got worse and so I took her here. Dr. Lerner and her staff were so caring and helpful, Dr. Lerner went 10 steps beyond what the vet at the ASPCA did and helped us make the tough decision to put her down, and even then the rest of the staff there were so kind and understanding of our pain in this decision. I still have another cat and if I ever need any veterinary care I am taking her here.
