The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, and explain everything before taking your pet inside since it's drop off only due to COVID. The UWS location has a great outdoor waiting area and a tent when it's raining. Each time my visit has taken 15 minutes or less. My puppy has been seen by both Dr. Kimmelstiel and Dr. Anderson so far, and they both explained the procedures / medications / shots they recommended before executing them to make sure I understood and was comfortable with the cost and treatment. I never felt pressured to agree to anything, even the most basic things like rabies shots which are required by most dog parks, day cares, airlines, etc. When my puppy was vomiting consistently, I was able to make a same day Urgent Care appointment and chat with a nurse over the app before bringing her in. Dr. Anderson explained why she was having digestive issues (bilious vomiting due to empty stomach) and offered both an in-the-moment solution (anti-vomiting shot) and long term care suggestions (feeding her later at night her stomach doesn't get too empty) Athena, Brittani, and Lauren are also wonderful Nurses and LVTs!!!

The level of care, the courtesy and the professionalism at Riverside North are unmatched by any other place that I've been to, and I've been to quite a few places in the city, including some of the "big names" in feline care. What sold me this time was Dr. Babaev. He is a careful and methodical clinician, but you can also tell by his bedside manner and the time that he spends with you that he also really, really cares. I have a young cat with a very rare condition (bilateral cryptorchidism) who required major surgery. Dr. Babaev carefully and methodically walked me through his decision-making process in putting together a plan of treatment. He listened to my concerns and helped me weigh the pros and cons of each decision. At no point did I feel like I was being upsold, or pressured to spring for unnecessary procedures out of an abundance of caution/concern. My cat received excellent care, is healing up well, and the clinic staff have been available to check in every step of the way, from pre-op through post-op care. I had a great experience with the care coordination for this surgery, and I don't leave many reviews these days, but I felt moved to comment. Highly recommend this place and Dr. Babaev if you are new to the city and have a cat.

Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk attendant and Dr. Aleksandra Scorobogtova was one of the most upsetting I've ever had in a medical office. My very senior dog developed a red, irritated eye with yellow discharge that I felt needed prompt medical attention. Knowing I was running late for my appointment, I tried calling the office three times to let them know, but no one answered. Once I finally got through, I continued calling with updates as I rushed there, letting them know exactly where I was. I was repeatedly told that if I arrived outside the 10-minute grace period, my dog would not be seen. I left my children at camp, ran 10 blocks home, grabbed my dog, and arrived within the office's stated grace period. Despite arriving on time according to their policy, I was told the front desk still needed Dr. Scorobogtova's approval to see me. When I expressed my frustration, the situation escalated, and she ultimately refused to treat my dog. I pleaded to let my dog be seen, even offering to wait as long as necessary. Instead, after waiting about 20 minutes, I was told that Dr. Scorobogtova did not feel comfortable treating my very senior dog despite his red eye and yellow discharge. My options were to come back the following week or take his medical records elsewhere. Before leaving, I tried to have a calm conversation with the front desk employee. I even acknowledged that she was handling the front desk by herself and told her she was doing a good job. My only complaint was how I had been spoken to throughout the interaction. As I left, I sincerely said, "Have a good night." They replied, "You too." I responded, "I doubt I will." At that point, they laughed. I turned around in tears and asked, "How can you laugh at someone who's crying?" I told them they should be ashamed of themselves. That moment was every bit as painful as being turned away with my dog still untreated. I understand that veterinary practices need policies. What I don't understand is refusing care to a long-time client who made every effort to communicate, arrived within the office's stated grace period, and was simply asking for compassion for a senior dog that needed medical attention. I never expected special treatment--only empathy, professionalism, and care for my dog. Instead, I left feeling humiliated, heartbroken, and abandoned by a practice I had trusted for years.

They open when they want, have files all over the place not to mention, Dr. Walsh needs to hang it up and retire! This woman can barely see let alone diagnose a dog properly. Took my dog to cut his nails once and she was on a walker, couldn't even stand not sure how she still has any clients but the little she has, she milks to pay for the expensive rent. My father took my beloved 16 year old Yorkie to Dr. Walsh with concerns about the itching that ensued and became bloody, she deemed it as allergies and sent him on his merry way with a sensitive skin shampoo for dogs and gave him 3 vaccines (unrelated she figured might as well since he was due), a whopping $400 bill she had no problem charging. Come to find out my poor dog had a tick infestation, bumps my father had initially called out to her and the whole reason he brought him for a checkup. After weeks of using this shampoo she sold us, my parents only found out because they started seeing small bugs everywhere around the apartment which had never been seen before as he is a house dog and doesn't go for walks; he doesn't play with other dogs as he is anxious and attached to my parents. My poor dog had been suffering this whole time, so I called her office to see what can be done and how she could help given she should've caught this weeks ago- the initial appointment was July 24th. Instead of taking some accountability for the quite obvious oversight she doubled down and proceeded to gas light us, asking if we have been hiking and that he likely got it from the park ... AGAIN HE IS A HOUSE DOG! Which she knows because she's cut his nails several times and always comments on how soft his paw pads are, again because he is and has always been a house dog.... She proceeded to pick at the few ticks he had left all to confirm he had ticks, the solution she provided? Make an appointment with her. I wouldn't make an appointment with her to save my life! She is the absolute worst vet ever, she is long overdue for retirement. Please please please, spend your money elsewhere, save your time, money and save your PET! Go to a real vet, Bond Vet, Midtown Pet Hospital or Rivergate Pet Clinic- any other but this one! You'll likely pay the same but at least you'll get actual treatments and a resolution as well as an educated and professional vet that knows how to properly care for your pets and isn't just about dollar signs. This is not to say she gave him ticks because she didn't, but she absolutely could have done a thorough check and caught it earlier so he wouldn't have suffered as long and as much as he did, she didn't care, no sympathy just a lot of questions trying to place blame everywhere else but herself. I would've appreciated her more had she just taken accountability and made it right, given she has seen our dog mostly for his nails whilst knowing his history of him being a house dog; none of this was of concern to her she saw another walk in and potential dollar signs. She also saw our address and was "huh, you guys live across the street?" It was like Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob, dollar signs across her eyes. Never again. And I will be sure to let everyone in the vicinity know as we have lived in this neighborhood for MANY years- since '97!

I explained and called and said I'd be late, upon arrival they were so rude and told me they wouldn't treat me anymore if I came late again. Every other time I've went after they've been late themselves, sometimes more than 15 min. Not to mention the fact that after 5 years they're still forcing everyone and anyone to wear a mask even if they step inside to drop something off (mental illness is real) and they also lied about pricing. Total scam business that doesn't honors its word. After being a client for a few years and bringing several of my dogs you'd think that if they told you "hey we won't charge you an exam fee next time bc we weren't able to examine your dog" they'd honor that but no. Forgot to mention that they make you wear a mask in 100 degree weather despite having no AC. Unacceptable for people with health issues

I explained that my dog's ear was bleeding and he needed to be patched up. I expressed a sense of urgency, but I was calm as it clearly wasn't a life-threatening emergency. The receptionist said that the doctor would not see my dog and referred me to a vet clinic three miles away! (Mind you, it was not busy and there was only one other pet-owner inside) The doctor then approached the front and I asked for at least a band aid. She didn't even glance at my dog, who is bleeding onto the ground, and said condescendingly "we don't use band aids on dogs". Gauze then, I asked - anything to help with the bleeding. She still refused. She expressed zero sympathy or care for a hurt animal standing in front of her. Dead behind the eyes. "Some vet you are", I said sarcastically. That really set her off - she's probably heard it many times before. She told me to screw myself and said she "doesn't want people like me" and slammed the door in my face. You can draw your own conclusions about what she meant by that. A woman walking by saw the interaction and took pity on me. She told me that it was a blessing in disguise because these people (meaning Oliver's Clinic) are crooks who will rip you off and don't care one iota about your pet. She then told me about another clinic, Ideal Pet and Vet, one block away. I thanked her profusely and went to the other clinic, which treated my dog with care - the way a normal clinic should aspire to do. It's truly shocking how horribly my pet and I were treated by Oliver's. They didn't care about me or my hurt pet at all. I have no idea why one would be a veterinarian if one seemingly has no desire to help animals. Terrible place; terrible human.

She gave us some recommendations and told us that they would be able to provide the insurance with our cats' medical records with results from our wellness exam that day. So I went ahead and signed up for pet insurance. Yesterday, the pet insurance company sent emails to Bond Vet 91st Street requesting for each of my cats' medical records. I was copied on the emails and was surprised to see Bond Vet responding that they do not have any of our pets on file in their system. I thought it was a mistake, so I logged into my account and took a screenshot of the names of my cats that were very clearly listed on my profile, as well as their discharge summary. Even with that, no apologies or corrections were made. They simply continued to reply with rude one line responses stating that my cats are not listed in their system. How do you have the audacity to deny that my cats are Bond vet patients and refuse to send our pet insurance company our cat's medical records when I have receipts, payment invoice, discharge summaries and screenshots showing that my cats are clearly listed on my profile when I log on to my account on your website. This is ludicrous and I never want to deal with your rude staff or your overpriced and incompetence services ever again.
