A very happy, now healthy, doggo name Yoki
Melissa R.

UPDATE: Dr Anthony Zaccheo is now at One Love on Atlantic Avenue. They have a location in Bay Ridge too but I Uber-ed all the bay to Atlantic because no one else will ever see my dog. THIS IS THE BEST MONEY I'VE EVER SPENT. Before I review, let me just say that when I came here, I thought my dog was going to die. -The Doctor spoke to me CLEARLY, THOROUGHLY, and is extremely KNOWLEDGEABLE -The staff show an incredible level of love and kindness for my dog -They have NEVER nickel & dimed me or surprised me with expenses we did not first discuss -The office visit was only about $66 I came to Anthony from another vet in Dyker Heights, which was walking distance to my home. The tests from that other vet were not explained properly and I started to feel anxious as my dog got worse & worse. The number of mistakes they'd made also gave me a really bad feeling in my gut. My impression was they had no clue what they were doing, but were still taking my money. My 12 year old min pin was vomiting with bloody diarrhea for months. She would not eat and lost weight. I took 2 blood workups from that mediocre vet and brought it here for a 2nd opinion, and they were quite surprised that it wasn't explained to me that my dog is having a SEVERE KIDNEY issue. It was obvious from the blood work that her kidneys were getting worse. Apparently, it should have been painfully obvious if you're a vet who knows how to read what you're looking at. HERE THEY KNEW WHAT THEY SAW RIGHT AWAY. There were things that were then done here at a discounted rate, and even free, because I'd already been spending money at this other vet. Anthony gave me rx kidney dog food samples, recommended kidney supplements, medication and a diet of only certain fruit & veggie snacks. We also ran many tests, which weren't really necessary but I wanted to cancel out all other possibilities. I spent about $270 at one visit and then $200 for another, and that was for the tests that we agreed to have done. I was not pressured and they were teats I wanted to have done. My dog is now consistently on the rx kidney dog food and med and is healthier and more energetic than I've ever seen. I believe they saved her life and would NEVER EVER TRUST ANOTHER VET FOR HER CARE.

I've only been here once so far with one of my cats, but I can't wait to bring the other one in. I'll start this off by saying that my cats have been described as "extremely difficult" by past. I love them dearly, but they are both hard to handle and have had pretty bad experiences with vets. The last vet was very friendly but wasn't able to see my cat for a routine exam without sedating him and unfortunately he seemed to be having issues with balance and mobility the procedure. They also told me that his coat looked great but I later found out he had fleas. So I decided it might be time to look elsewhere. Firstly, their customer service is incredible. The young man at the front desk is so patient. I've called quite a few times and he's always friendly, super polite, and patient with all my questions. Quality customer service is hard to find, especially in Brooklyn lol When I arrived for our appointment, the office was quiet and peaceful and I barely had to wait five minutes before being seen. The tech who weighed my cat and took down some information was also extremely professional and friendly. He let my cat walk around, smell things, and even let me put my cat on the scale myself since he gets anxious around new people. I saw Dr. Fortier who I later read graduated from MSU (go Spartans!) and was impressed. I can be a bit of a crazy cat mom and usually ask a lot of questions. He was patient and explained all the options and why he wanted to try a certain food trial for my cat. I had to order special food from Petco that requires a prescription and Dr. Fortier approved it quickly within the same day that I requested it. And the best part- he didn't sedate my cat! After our last experience with him getting sedated, I was very nervous about that possibility. I was so relieved when they were able to examine him without sedation because of his adverse reaction at the previous vets office. Lastly, their prices were shocking- and I mean that in the best way. I barely paid over $100 for the exam and all medications. They also gave me some free samples. At the previous vet I went to, the same services would have been closer to $200. TLDR: friendly staff, patient and knowledgeable doctor, great value for the price. I can't wait to bring my other cat here

My dog Oat
Josh S.

Oat is the first dog I have had. Everything I learned about dogs was through books, videos and friends. When I got her she had a lot of issues with her bowel movement, urination and some infections. Greenwood helped her and I so much. They have been incredible throughout the journey. They have always been warm, welcoming and hearing me during times of distress and worry. Our pets are our family and Greenwood understands that. The prices are expensive but we do live in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Plus owning a pet is expensive. Thank you Greenwood for all your work and care. Oat loves you.

In the past six months I have seen Dr. Zawie, Dr. Zaccheo, and Dr. Fortier (who according to their website is usually at their Bensonhurst location) for my two cats, and I have had a great experience with all three. They were all thorough, listened to my concerns and the symptoms I was spotting, and were very thorough in explaining why they were recommending certain tests or treatments. I felt very comfortable that my cats were getting the very best care. Their office staff and vet assistants are also kind and helpful, and the location is well-designed and clean, so overall it's a very pleasant visit (for me...my cats still don't like going to the vet).

Lil Evie, 3 months after her TECA surgery.
C L.

Dr. Zawie and his team are seriously the best. If you're looking for the humanity of a neighborhood vet, plus the high tech know-how of a hospital with the ability to address more complicated health issues, you've found your place. Last January, I adopted a 2 year old cat that immediately sprouted some ear cancer, and I was left with the difficult task of caring for (and spending lots of money on) a cat I hardly knew (she's lucky she's so cute). One surgery at kitty's former regular vet, a more serious surgery at VERG, this thing kept growing back. I was frustrated with the lack of clear direction from VERG when the growth was back, and really not looking good. Without really knowing what to do, I emailed Dr. Zawie after reading some positive reviews, and without even coming in, he spoke to me on the phone for 20 minutes: free advice, thoughts on how he might handle this issue. I knew right away that he knew his stuff and he was the answer we needed. Long story short, in July Dr. Zawie's surgeon Dr. Infernuso performed a TECA (Total Ear Canal Ablation) for my cat. On my wedding weekend, agreeing to keep for her for 3 days without extra charge as a wedding gift, so we didn't have to worry about care during the craziness of having family in town and all. When we picked her up, she was just as adorable with her one ear (although a bit funny looking with half her head shaved). The sutures and everything looked clean. Really as good as you could look after having an ear removed. They did a great job. The recovery was smooth. Oh, and then we went away for a weekend, as lil honeymoon, and they kept her again, for free! The whole staff is great. Giovanna Ferrigno, Dr. Zawie's assistant, is extremely caring and smart. They all know their stuff, and they have a humanity to them that some of the more advanced facilities don't always have. Also, their prices are more affordable than the larger vet hospitals. It's been about 3 months since the surgery, and our cat has never been happier. So far, no sign of any return of the cancer. She's more comfortable, less anxious. She has really good hearing in her one cancer-free ear! She's finally living her life without health issues. This is the longest stretch we've gone since adopting her where she's had a clean bill of health. It seems likely that they really cured this cancer (fingers and paws crossed!). Thank you, Dr. Zawie! And both Bensonhurst and Greenwood offices. You really saved our cat.

I've searched without success for years for an adequate veterinary provider, as my five-year-old cat, Rex, gets extremely stressed and anxious going to the vet's office. Comfort Paws offers the in-home alternative we need, and I'm so grateful for their services. Dr. Irons was prompt, friendly, organized, and communicative. She listened carefully to my concerns about Rex's health and my characterization of his temperament, and approached him in a way that allowed her to do a much more thorough examination than any other vet has without upsetting him unduly. When he became agitated near the end of the visit (as most cats would when receiving shots), she gave him the space he needed to calm down and monitored his body language and signals to prevent any injury or further distress. Comfort Paws will continue to be our go-to vet going forward, and I'm so happy to have found somewhere that can work with us to make sure Rex--who's a very sweet, amiable kitty, but who happens to be a large cat with major fears around medical treatment--can thrive.

From the very beginning, she was gentle, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of both our dog and our family. I might also add that while it wasn't yet an emergency situation, she was able to come on very short notice, which alleviated our dog's pain, and our emotional discomfort. She moved at a pace that honored what we were going through, explaining everything clearly while also knowing when to step back and simply give us space. Our dog was able to pass peacefully, surrounded by love, in an environment that felt calm and intentional rather than clinical. In a moment filled with overwhelming grief, she brought a sense of steadiness and grace that we won't forget. She provided compassionate care at the moment we needed it most. We are incredibly grateful and thankful, and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone facing this heartbreaking decision.
