    I recommend Veg ER in Williamsburg. The staff were excellent for my Bella Velez. Although I lost my Bella they were kind and compassionate. Veg ER Williamsburg walked me through every step to make my pet and mine experience easy in a difficult time. Veg ER Williamsburg sent a goodbye card for my Bella letting me know they really cared for my Bella. Bella final moments I will always remember and cherish.

    I was so impressed with this Emergency Vet! Worlds better than blue pearl for sure. I went in an anxious mess, still in my slippers because I was hardly awake, with my French bulldog that was having weird problems. Dr Casey is the most patient human on earth, I must've asked him 5000 questions and he never made me feel stupid or annoying like how I've been treated before. Everybody there is super warm from the receptionists to the ppl working in the hospital side. I watched as many other animals were treated with care and love (especially the ones who had been admitted and their owners weren't there, nearly cried watching a Dr petting a cat with an e collar). You could tell that everybody here really loves animals. They even have a really cute golden doggy assistant. We were seen right away, I was given an estimate before anything was done, and the exam, bloodwork, and two kinds of medication came to 500 bucks which really is not bad in the world of Emergency Vets. 3 years ago today I dropped 1500 at blue pearl and was treated like an idiot for insisting that my dogs seizures weren't epilepsy but brain tumors (yes it was tumors, RIP Fancy) When you call them you get to speak to a doctor or nurse who will evaluate if you actually need to go in. The nurse I spoke to was awesome and assured me that my dog was not on deaths door but my anxiety from losing my last dog this time three years ago made me go in anyway. I'm so glad I did. Also this place is clean and really beautiful. They have a water and coffee station, the seating is cozy, and they even gave my dog a blanket and a bed to hang out on I can't say enough about this place, thank you so much for taking care of Blanche (and my anxiety). She finally ate like a vacuum cleaner and is feeling much better tonight.

    ‼‼‼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.

    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.

    VEG Chelsea. Nurses and techs were nice. Male doctors were not. Waited a very long time for vet,…read morewhen he finally came in he was apathetic and completely unhelpful; he seemed annoyed that we were asking questions. Took my kitten home and called VEG at 3 am when kitten got progressively worse. Another male vet answered, equally as apathetic, and unhelpful. Kitten died few hours later. People coming to VEG are desperate, scared, and vulnerable. The vets should be empathetic, kind, and patient. That's the opposite of the vets here. Truly traumatizing experience with 0 support from VEG.

To have the entire staff be so caring, attending, comforting, and professional, is truly a one in a million situation. When I came in with an emergency with my little pup, Dr. Diego Milano kept a clear mind, an empathetic attitude, and a compassionate heart. He took such good care of my boy, my gratitude is too much to vocalize. once we were checked in to our room, he checked on my baby every 10-15 minutes, made sure both of us were ok, and stayed on top of our situation even though I heard multiple critical situations happening outside. He balanced everything so well and i really take my hat off to him. he was amazing. As for the overnight nurse, Caroline, I'm at a loss for words for how golden her heart is. She took such good care of both me and my baby. She understood the anxiety an owner feels going through this situation and went out of her way to ensure i was doing good too. she checked on my baby every 10 minutes. any time i needed to step away to use the bathroom, she stayed with my baby. she was so gentle and kind with him. you can tell shes doing her job out of passion and care. Shes one of a kind and truly a gem. I could cry just writing about the care she provided for us. When the shift changed to the daytime staff, I was a little worried about the transition and sad to see Caroline and Dr. Milano go. I was worried about who was going to take care of us now because of the genuine top tier care we had received, how could you match that? but. they did. Dr. Andre and nurse Christina were our doctor and nurse after the shift change. They were just as kind, just as compassionate, just as professional, and just as empathetic. They made the night to day transition so smooth. They were completely filled in, treated me with just as much respect and empathy, and had me crying tears of joy as I left this hospital. I can't speak enough kind words for this facility and the entire staff. Even when my nurse or doctor were helping other patients, other nurses made themselves readily available and willing to help me and my baby and make us feel comfortable and ok. This was truly one of the hardest nights of my entire life but this facility and the staff working here made it manageable. For the staff reading this, I thank you again and send you my kindest regards. You guys are truly angels and what you're doing is a beautiful thing and your hearts are made of gold. Thank you all.

    I guess you could think of this place as an urgent care for pets, but only if your existing vet's…read moreoffice is closed. If your pet has an actual emergency, a complex health issue, or multiple health concerns, this is not the place. If you're in the UES, just go to the Animal Medical Center. I brought my cat here thinking maybe it would be OK, but I ended up waiting a minimum of 20 minutes without being seen. My own vet actually called me while I was there to follow-up regarding prior treatment. When I told him where I was, he advised me to go to the Animal Medical Center which is very close. The issue is that only one veterinarian available, so when you're seen depends on how busy it is. A bigger hospital has multiple vets and vet techs on staff, so they can see multiple animals at the same time. The staff was friendly, but they seem easily distracted and overly cheerful, like it was an office party. This is meant to be an ER. Sometimes you need people to be serious. They have a big board where they supposedly do triage, but I don't believe they really take pets according to level of care needed. For some reason, my pet's name never made it up onto the board, so I kept waiting for the vet to take a look. They kept saying they had really sick pets to see first. (My cat stayed at the AMC for 3 days and 2-3 nights.) Eventually I up and left because my cat needed to be seen right away and they kept skipping over us and telling us they'd get to us, which did not happen. When I was leaving, the receptionist was trying to get me to stay even though we were never seen. I really don't know what kind of health issues would warrant a visit here versus an actual vet emergency room. Having been to AMC, I can't say I would ever come back or recommend this type of facility.

The one rating because no amount of kindness or talking to me in an annoying baby voice could erase the trauma, and financial manipulation my family experienced. I am not going to tell to go here, but I will recommend that before you go, please level set, maybe talk to a loved one or even a trusted neighbor/coworker to come up with a number that is feasible for you, no judgement of it feels too high or too low, but absolutely be ready to walk away if the number that VERG quotes you is even a dollar above that, because it will eventually be more. Our cat went in upon recommendation from our vet after being sick for almost 6 week, we discovered she swallowed something that punctured her intestines. It required surgery, the doctor was very optimistic about her chances at recovery, she was only two after all. In hindsight, she was very depleted already and likely not a good surgery candidate. Below, you'll find pics of letter I wrote to VERG on 12/21 in my apple notes, expressing my utter frustrations snd despair with the whole situation. I ultimately did not send because shortly after I got a call from Dr. H saying (after spending over 15k), they were going to be gracious enough to not charge me anymore . Though, that also meant that our cat would no longer receive any treatment. She was euthanized 2 days later. Sorry if it's not chronological, Yelp uploaded it weirdly.

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.

They have a love for cats and their care for them shines through. Their office is beautiful and well run, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and their bedside manner is second to none. Dr. Dougherty let me dump my anxiety on him and talked me through every one of my concerns, in layman's terms that also came with a huge amount of confidence. He was not trigger happy to run any tests and really gave me the pros and cons of every test and was completely upfront with pricing. When it came time for the dreaded rabies vaccination, not one of my (admittedly, very easy going) cats even flinched.
