Had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Bardari today and had Amy as my vet tech. They are absolutely amazing and took great care of my little Muki. They were super nice, patient, and gentle. I have never seen my cat so calm. They performed a full wellness exam, clipped nails, and of course showed my baby so much love. They answered all my questions and gave me good info on purchasing pet insurance which is soo important!

I had an emergency with my 9 month old kitty and Animal Medical of New City took us in for immediate help with a moment's notice even though I had no appointment, was a first-time patient, and they were 1 hour from closing. Their care and expertise reveals just how much they love animals and what they do. Thank you Dr. Gittelman for continuing to check-in and provide help to my kitten even after being transferred over to another emergency animal hospital!

Overall they take very good care of my family's animals. We've been seeing them for a long time and they are really careful and awesome people. Some doctors are better than others, as you would find at any practice and that is up to you to decide. They are great.
