What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently report a warm, genuinely invested team across front desk, techs, and vets. Dr. Mills especially earns praise for deep listening, creativity with anxious pets, and compassionate end-of-life care. Staff call to offer earlier appointments when cases are complex, send follow-up cards, and answer questions thoroughly without pushing expensive tests first.

One reviewer had a negative encounter with Dr. Maria Perez in May, describing rapid speech, rudeness, and failure to deliver scheduled treatment. The same reviewer had thriving relationships with Dr. Margolis and other staff before that visit. Overall the clinic shows strong execution in general care, anxiety management, and difficult medical conversations.

Praised for
  • compassionate, patient care with anxious or difficult cases
  • highly knowledgeable and thorough vets and staff
  • responsive and hands-on during difficult medical situations
  • friendly, genuine team across all roles
  • strong follow-up and communication
Watch-outs
  • one provider's poor communication and abruptness with a client
compassionate-staffskilled-vetsgentle-with-animalsclear-communicationclean-facilityresponsive-emergency-caregood-with-anxious-petshelpful-front-deskknowledgeable-staffcaring-bedside-manner
Best for: Families with anxious, senior, or medically complex pets who value thorough communication and emotional support.
Think twice if: Dr. Maria Perez's communication style may not suit clients who need slower, more deliberate explanation, based on one reported May visit.

Strengths

  • proactive scheduling and follow-up
  • hands-on end-of-life care with staff notes and empathy
  • beautiful facility with convenient Central Park location

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Erin Mills praised for complex case management and anxiety work
  • Dr. Margolis noted as exceptional and respectful
  • Maria, the Practice Manager, noted for flexibility and visible presence
  • Staff send follow-up cards with handwritten notes after loss
  • Clinic called ahead to offer earlier appointment for senior pet with multiple issues
  • Thorough but conservative diagnostic approach-basic treatment before costly testing

Some long-term clients praise the wellness plans and compassionate care they've received over years. However, recent reviews reveal a troubling pattern: staff and veterinarians often label nervous or anxious pets as "aggressive" and refuse treatment unless owners consent to sedation or expensive add-ons, even for routine preventive care. Multiple reviewers report feeling pressured into unnecessary tests, medications, and procedures, and describe inconsistent communication about what's included in wellness plans. The clinic excels when providing standard preventive care and wellness exams, with several vets (Dr. Ramos, Dr. Rodriguez for certain cases, Dr. Miller) earning individual praise for thorough examinations and empathy. Yet staffing challenges, poor phone accessibility, and a documented pattern of refusing service to anxious pets without medication have eroded trust, particularly among newer clients and those needing follow-up care.

Long-time customers praise the kindness of most staff and ease of booking appointments, but recent reviews document serious gaps: slow diagnostic turnarounds (3-4 weeks for urgent cases), hidden charges beyond estimates, and inconsistent care due to veterinarian turnover. Multiple reviews flag aggressive upselling and costs 50-200% above competing clinics without commensurate quality.
