Today I had to take Pumpkin in - a stray kitten that i'm fostering, poor thing was left at my husbands job in a box. They were wonderful with the kitten, and explained everything to us. I would recommend them. Very friendly and they made sure to check him up, also teaching us how to care of pumpkin.

Went to this vet multiple times, usually for check ups or minor visits. When my dog got very ill, I was clearly able to see what type of care they provided. It was a very painful experience, in every aspect. Northside vet was more interested in making money, than the well being of my Dog. I understand it's a business, but, the care that they provided & their bedside manor was horrible. ( Dr. Lehrman & Dr. Ramos gets an F ) Always trying to push the same Diarrhea/ and nausea medication, it was ridiculous.
I was in total disbelief how poorly they treated my beloved best friend, and how they handled themselves, It was shocking. I would never bring another pet there again, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. and, I strongly advise all of my friends, family and pet lovers, to stay far, far away from this Business .

Changing my vet after 6 years. The front desk stuff is rude and unprofessional. I lost so much time, energy and money with them that I don't even want to loose more time writing a review describing my bad experience at this place. There are so many vets in nyc, I recommend to go some where else. Goodbye forever.

Excellent vet clinic. The staff is considerate and kind, they really take the time to make you and your pet comfortable and even followed up by email & phone a few days later to see how my fur baby was doing.

Dr's are Great. Front Desk Staff, one guy in particular is very un welcoming. So I normally don't post on reviews but I feel like this information would be helpful to the business itself. As for the Vet's and the Tech's they are fantastic. Thorough and very good with your animal. I am however considering using one of the other many Vet Clinics in the area as the person who is mainly at the front desk is awful.
I feel like every time I call he is irritated and so incredibly rude. It's a shame because you would think that the person who is front facing would see, that part of their job is to create a positive and welcoming environment for people who are concerned for the well being of their pets. I'm bummed because the location is great and again the Dr's there are amazing but the way I feel calling for anything or to make an appointment is so unpleasant.
We as pet owners, are already concerned for the well being of our pets the last thing anyone needs is to feel like a nuisance. I had a neighbor mention this to me but against her advice decided to give them a try. Sadly I'm back to searching for a new office to take my guy to.

I have seen all 4 veterinarians with my shi tzu, and they are all wonderful. Caring, smart, and they really take the time to listen and answer all my concerns. This practice is a hidden treasure of Williamsburg.

When we lived in Brooklyn we went here because it was close and convenient. We always felt like they tried to shame us in feeding our dog "dog food' and not basically their "human food"alternatives. Also, we had a growth removed 4 years ago and there is still a big noticable scar on his leg. We had another growth removed just 3 weeks ago from another vet (in North Carolina) and you can see there is hardly any scar. I choc this place up to another NYC Premium Mediocre Experience.
