    ‼‼‼Urging you to go to VERG in park slope rather than this horrible place that just wants money‼‼ I went there over a year ago with my dog who ended up passing away after not receiving the right care at this so called hospital. I have attached my story in the photos if you're interested. My purpose of this review is to make sure you don't step foot in this place. All they want is your money and don't care if you pet lives or dies. I encourage you to take your pet to VERG where I took my dog today and they were so WONDERFUL. And it's only a fraction of the price! I knew VER ER was only after money when I talked to the doctors at VERG about some financial concerns and they gave me a lot of options and recommendations where as when I was at VEG ER and had some financial concerns they just sent me home, told me my dog was okay, and they she passed away. They didn't give any recommendations or had any concern with my pet when I said I don't know if I could afford the $8000 surgery. I absolutely dispose this place. Please be cautious and go to VERG!

    I cant help but feel truly grateful for VEG. The overnight team and the morning team really were the nicest staff I probably ever encountered from the moment you walk in the door. everyone understands the stress owners are walking in with trying to save their baby. My baby unfortunately did not make it, the odds were against her including with her age. I know VEG did everything they could to keep my girl comfortable and alive for as long as possible and for that im truly grateful because I was able to say goodbye. Rest in Peace Fiona

    We brought our pup into VEG as he was having complications with his bowel movement. They return my dog back to us deceased. We only left him with VEG, Williamsburg for a couple of hours. All I can say is VEG is only as good as their marketing scam. They might look professional with all their equipments and nicely furnished office center, their uniforms, anything beyond that they are unprofessional and clueless and just want your $$$$$$. If my dog could speak to me about how he was being mistreated at the facility! I would have sued them for malpractice! They are lucky now, but I am sure KARMA will deal with all those responsible for the passing of my poor pup.

    Milo was scared but they did great calming him down.

    What a warm and welcoming staff. My dog Milo was sick and coughing, and the doctors did a wonderful job informing me and calming any nerves I had. They were gentle with him and took any charges off before doing anything that weren't in my budget. 10/10

    5 stars for Nick and Giles! They are expensive but I had an overall positive experience here the other night after my dog swallowed a steak bone. Any vet emergency is the worst possible situation and I hope you never have to end up here, but the vet techs who were working the late night shift this weekend were so very kind and made me feel as good as possible under the circumstances. I really just wanted to write this review to mention Nick and Giles - they were both so, so kind and truly made me and Milo feel safe during a very stressful/terrible situation. Attached shows the charges for this visit. We were home within a few hours and my boy is on the mend. Thank you.

    This is my Leon who was five

    I love this place is an understatement. When I say they care for your babies as much as you do! They tried their best to save our cat Leon. Who got a steroid shot from Williamsburg Animal Client and shortly after was foaming from the mouth and then collapsed. They tried to save him but couldn't but we will forever be grateful to all the staff with how respectful of our Leon they were. Also on how compassionate they were with us as well. I recommend this place 100 percent!

    Best doctors & nurses!

    Extremely concerned when my male cat vomited up his entire stomach and visited the litter box…read moremultiple times within a couple of hours. 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!! I truly, sincerely appreciate knowing my boy doesn't have any bowel obstruction or anything worse. Great relief that we'll manage with the laxative and hopefully he'll be good as new. Thank you to the Vet Tech and the assistant who were both so helpful and supportive (and whose names I also forgot). Great team. I really, really love that every staff member called my boy "friend" and treated him like their own.

But there were no surprises and we were guided through the various test options along the way to help control the cost. All of the ladies working there and the doctor were so professional and clearly dedicated to their jobs. They were very gentle with our sick cat and patient with us worried parents. And after we'd gone home they kept calling to check in on our cat to see if we had any other questions or concerns. They were so wonderful. Again the costs kicked our butt but in an emergency they were amazing.

They triaged Molly quickly and had us meeting with a vet within 30 minutes (this was at 11:00pm). Dr. Michalik sat on the floor with Molly, gained her trust, and helped calm her anxiety (along with my own). After treatment was over, Dr. Michalik answered all of my question and told us what to watch for when we went home. The entire staff was wonderful and animal focused. The hospital is very clean while not having that typical hospital smell, which helped with my nerves. I hope to never need emergency care for my dog again, but if I do, this is where I'm taking her.

My regular…read morevet did a sonogram and found fluid on her lungs, and suggested I take her to VERG for a echocardiogram. When I arrived at VERG they quickly triaged her, took her into the clinic immediately, and put her on oxygen. After a thorough exam, Dr. Karen Li sat down with me to go over the options. At that point my cat's breathing was very labored and she had an enlarged heart. Dr. Li didn't feel the echocardiogram was necessary because all Maggie's symptoms pointed in one direction. Dr. Li carefully explained her condition and the pros and cons of our limited options. The first option we discussed might have extended her life by a few weeks, but it would have required a lot of medication and potentially a painful procedure to drain fluid, and Maggie would not be comfortable. The other option was euthanasia to give her a comfortable and compassionate end. Dr. Li supported my decision to end her life to avoid any further suffering. Dr. Li was with me through the procedure and was amazingly kind and compassionate. I was able to hold Maggie the whole time so she could feel my love. Dr. Li gave me all the time I wanted with my cat both before and after; I never felt rushed to either make a decision or have the procedure. It was a very difficult day but Dr. Li and everyone else at VERG - from the admissions desk, to the triage nurse, to the grief counselor - were exceeding professional, kind and caring. I felt that both my cat and I got the best possible service in this scenario and felt very cared for. VERG didn't suggest any additional tests or procedures, although they could have. I appreciated that. It was a heartbreaking day but Dr. Li and the entire VERG staff made it as comfortable as possible. Based on my experience I recommend and would trust VERG in an emergency situation to do the right thing and take care of a beloved pet.

I understand that many times veterinary hospitals receive negative reviews because we are in a heightened emotional state when our pets are sick or in crisis. But my experience here was the complete opposite, and I feel it's important to recognize the incredible care they provide. I rushed my beloved dog, Bella, in during a medical emergency, not knowing just how serious her condition was. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff treated us with such kindness, patience, and compassion. They took the time to thoroughly explain her diagnosis and condition in a way that made me feel supported and informed during one of the most overwhelming moments of my life. What stood out most was not just how they cared for Bella, but how they cared for every animal in their ER. I witnessed firsthand how attentive and gentle they were with pets whose owners weren't present--comforting them, monitoring them closely, and treating each one with genuine love and respect. That meant everything to me. Tragically, Bella passed away the very next day. When I returned for her cremation, the staff showed me an incredible level of compassion. They comforted me in a way I will never forget. In such a painful moment, their empathy and kindness brought me a sense of peace that I didn't know I needed. I am beyond grateful for the care, dignity, and love they showed my sweet Bella--and for the compassion they showed me. Thank you for everything you do for our pets and for the people who love them.
