Dr. B where do I even begin. Dr. B is the BEST vet ever! I have been with him for 30 years. Yes in those years I have tried new vets but I always come back. There really isn't anyone like him. He is extremely caring, honest knowledgeable, understanding and he really really cares for you and your pet. It is never about the money with Dr. B. Most practices have you pay upfront and you can sense their greed. All they want is your money. Not Dr. B. Dr. B helps you and your pet out first and then you pay. He has vast knowledge of everything to do with animals and will guide you thru and explain everything thoroughly to you again and again. He also will refer you out to great veterinarian specialists if needed always keeping in mind to not send you somewhere that will just drain your pocket. I have always joked with Dr.B that he can't retire before atleast cloning himself several times. It would honestly be a huge loss to pet owners. If your pet is sick or has been sick for a while and you find yourself struggling financially to keep your pet alive and nothing seems to work. May I make a suggestion : see Dr. Burchman. Get a second oppinion from him. He has saved many of my fur babies and has prolonged their lives significantly. Now I won't lie : yes there is always a long wait but it is because he is that damn good! Actually he is # 1! Furthermore he isn't money hungry. He truly is passionate about animal life. He won't take your money and rush you out like other vets. He takes his time with your pet and you. Actually, alot of time and when it is your pet's health at stake isn't that what you want? Yes it can be frustrating when you are the one in the waiting area but as soon as you go inside and Dr. B sees you it is all worth it. You will understand that nothing is rushed with him and that he is just a genuine , honest and caring doctor whom takes his time making sure that he thoroughly examines your pet before giving a diagnosis. If you are like me and just dont want to sit inside the waiting area you can always sit in your car or wait outside. No worries because the vet tech will come outside to let you know that it is your turn. I always let the front desk know that I will wait outside and have never encountered any issues. As far as the front desk staff: Jess , Hector and Marilyn are lovely!!! Jess has ALWAYS accomodated me. She just makes you feel so comfortable. She is very courteous, pleasant, understanding and genuine. Jess always makes it happen. She is such a cool and sweet person. Marilyn is always very lovely and will make everything run smooth. My favorite vet tech is : Jose. Dr. B and Jose make a great team. Jose makes you feel comfortable enough to trust him with your pet. He is very gentle and you can tell that he is an avid animal lover. Look no further if you are looking for a caring, honest, dedicated, trustworthy, smart, thorough, knowledgeable, reliable veterinarian. Dr. Burchman is definitely without a doubt in my mind the best. I forgot to mention that you will not find lower prices than Dr. Burchman's anywhere that you go in these five boroughs. He has the lowest prices in NYC. For Dr. B it isn't about the money, it is about your pet. He is truly a gem and very special to me. Thanks Dr. B , Jess, Marilyn , Hector and Jose for always taking excellent care of my furbabies. read more
