    AVOID this VET if you LOVE your PET! We have been loyal clients for 8 years and ever since they moved to this new "fancier" more expensive office recently - not only did our original Vet leave- but their service went down, attitude levels went high and this place has started to become run like a corporation. All they care about is MONEY (first and foremost) and your pet is secondary. This vet and the people are nice to you only if you have good things to say. If you are slightly UN-satisfied with any of their services- they turn their back on you and become extremely nasty. There are too many examples of how they have treated us and our dog in a rude and nasty manner (including from some of our friends who have also experienced the same) - but one recent incident that was truly UN-HEARD of in any professionally run establishment is when we took our old senior dog to get a follow through check up and she started feeling worse after the visit. We called 2 days later to ask for our records and the notes that the vet took for what she did to our senior dog. The secretary said that she needed to "get permission and sign off" from the vet in order to release the record of what was done to our dog. After an entire day of waiting- we called them back to say- what is taking the entire day to retrieve our dogs medical records? it turns out DR MORAZO had not even written down what she did to our dog in the notes and had to be chased down after working hours just to get an answer! On top of this- instead of providing us with our dogs medical records right away and giving us an HONEST answer about the treatment they gave to our dog behind closed doors- the secretary girl started raising her voice at us and said we should go to another vet if we are not happy with them. We told the owner DR GOLDBERG about what had happened and instead of calling us and being sensitive to our urgent senior dogs needs- she kicked us out over an email! I attach the email as evidence. Our dog was in critical condition in her old state and despite that these people had 0 heart to call us and give our records and truthful information in a quick manner before taking her to the hospital. They didn't even care to call back! Never MET SUCH COLD BLOODED PEOPLE. We will NEVER go back to this establishment again and if you love your pet dont go here! You will soon see that all they care is about Money and have poor quality customer service. On top of that Im started to get a feeling that this establishment needs to be reported - especially since a) our dog left more sick then she came in b)they wont release your records right away unless its pre-reviewed by the vet when it should be everyone's right to own their records at any point in time!

    They'll steal your money. I've been taking my dog to Upper East Vet for six years. After Covid, they have come back in absolute shambles. My dog hurt his leg, and I wanted to get it X-rayed. I called in, and they insisted I make an appointment because he had too fast to be under for the x-ray. The following day, at the appointment, Dr. Talia Goldberg told me she couldn't attend to my pet because three emergencies just walked in. After a condescending speech, she finally took my pet back for the imaging. I paid $750.00 for the x-ray results, and they didn't send them in for analysis. Be prepared to pay $5.15 for every needle they use; they call it a disposal fee, Five dollars each. And now the final straw: they are holding my 16-year-old dog's seizure medicine hostage until I go in for another appointment for blood work after only nine months.

    So far, so good. I have visited this clinic several times with my two cats, and I have been very impressed. The facility is clean, updated, and had a lovely large waiting area, which I really appreciate. It's nice to be able to find a spot away from large leashed dogs, which scare my cats. The receptionists are always polite, too, creating a pleasant atmosphere in the lobby. My older cat sees Dr. Nunemacher, who did a great job of treating a persistent eye issue. She followed-up the next day after each visit to see how my cat was responding to his medication, something that stood out to me. My younger cat sees Dr.Goldberg, and she is also wonderful. Kind and patient--I never got the sense that she was in a rush, as I did at another vet office that he had gone to previously. Most importantly, both vets I've seen know their stuff. I made an appointment for my younger cat here after being extremely displeased with another vet office in the area, where he was given a vaccine he had already received. That vet had sent me a reminder to get him that vaccine yet again, which I had included in his notes when I made the appointment at UES Veterinary Center. Dr. Goldberg immediately caught that he wasn't due for that shot until late summer. I will update my review if I have a bad experience at a later date, but at this time, I have nothing but good things to say about the service I've received here.

    Happy cat

    Honestly one of the greatest around. Dr. Goldberg and her entire staff are knowledgeable, compassionate, skilled and kind. They handled my delicate little lemon of a cat with such love. My boy was in such pain, had to have 10 teeth extracted, and now he's finally back to himself now! Worth every penny.

    Happy patient of Upper East Veterinary for 6+ years!

    We started taking our dog to Upper East Veterinary soon after the clinic opened in their first location. Our dog had had major surgery and pretty significant GI issues, so we were hesitant to leave the big vet hospital and go to a "regular vet". After a few visits with Dr. Goldberg, Dr. Nunemacher, and the other vets in the practice, we were convinced that this was the vet practice for us. We found the vets thorough, professional compassionate/caring, knowledgeable/experienced, and honest. The staff are also a pleasure to deal with and kind - like the time they helped me get cleaned up when our dog pooped all over me in 6-degree-Fahrenheit weather. Dr. Goldberg got us through years of dealing with our dog's numerous issues, and with various changes and flare-ups as he got older and more frail. We continued being happy clients of the practice until this past weekend. At almost 18 years old, his quality of life had declined, and Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Nunemacher helped us make the decision about the right time to end his suffering, and gave us the courage to come to terms with it. Dr. Goldberg offered to come to our home and euthanize our dog. It was such a blessing to be able to have our dog be able to pass peacefully at home. In that terrible and emotional moment, I would not have wanted any other vet there. Thanks for everything, Upper East Veterinary. I highly recommend this practice to anyone!

    These are the people you want caring for your pets…read more I have been seeing the doctors here with my older rescue dog for years, but we just had our first health crisis last week. They got my boy in for an appointment quickly, treated him gently (he is wildly anxious in the best of circumstances), and they treated me gently, too (also wildly anxious in the best of circumstances). They were clear, communicative, and Dr. Macri ensured I fully understood what was happening with my little friend and what next steps were. A week later, Gomez is back to normal. I know what to watch for, and if (god forbid) anything else happens, I'll be heading back to MHPH with full confidence my dog will be treated with kindness, compassion, and the best veterinary care available. Thank you to the doc and the entire staff. We are so lucky to have you!

Our 4 very senior poodles have been remarkably healthy throughout their lives. Dr. Dan has been there for us during their senior years as we navigate typical aging vs actual illness and respectfully supports our choices for testing and vaccinating sparingly. Shout out to Joan at the front desk as well, she always makes the wait in the waiting room less stressful.

Unprofessional vet clinic - I would avoid this place and not recommend it to anyone looking for a good vet! They don't care about your pets, they only care about the money. Also, if you were thinking of hiring the vet tech Tatiana as a pet sitter -- DON'T! She missed a dose of our cat's medicine, didn't clean the litter box or change the water daily, and then scammed us by asking for more money afterwards. For a vet tech, I would have expected better care but apparently everyone at Rivergate only cares about the money.

So I called Midtown, and Dr. Suchanek let me come in immediately. And he could not have been lovelier -- let me sit and cuddle Mouse for the last time before the procedure, gave me as much time as I needed with him, then was so incredibly kind afterward... And his prices are shockingly reasonable, especially for Manhattan! Since then I've taken my younger cat in as well, and the doc has been really calm and thorough -- I've never felt rushed -- and he even called several times after, to check on how Scamp was doing. Also, it may seem like a small thing, but the office is clean, pretty, and peaceful. And even when I was terribly upset, the staff was super nice and patient. I've been to several other vets (and, lately, chains) in my decades of being a pet owner, and this is the first time I've wanted to write a review, because I'm just so grateful to have found them!

Called this place after doing an extensive search for a decently rated pet ER (not many around me). I am so thankful there is at least one, and they're open 'round the clock. Was placed in an examination room and was seen fairly quickly by a tech for vitals, followed by the vet (I swear I tried so hard to remember her name to give her a personal shout out but stress took away my memory). She was awesome. Thorough and caring. While nothing appeared to be an evident emergency, my cat was clearly suffering from something hurting him. Recommended course of action seemed slightly excessive, but this vet truly stepped up to help me out. I consented to an xray, which indicated constipation. Treatment included sub-q hydration, anti-nausea medication, and a laxative. Cat had never been poked and prodded so much in his life. But he was such a good boy, and thankfully never bit or scratched- just growled and hissed. I would have too, little buddy!!
