Dr jakarta and his office staff were wonderful to me and my cat, Magnolia when she had an injury to her paw. They were very attentive, compassionate and gentle. I would highly recommend this Veterinarian group for all your pets needs. read more

This is by far the best vet I've ever been to! From the vet to his entire team, the level of care, compassion, and expertise everyone has is beyond stellar! I've been bringing both of my cats here for a few years now and I've only had positive experiences. read more

We've been very happy with Dr. Jakimer. He's professional, straightforward, down-to-earth, and reassuring. I like the way he handles animals - neither too aloof nor too sentimental. The office is well-organized and professional. It can seem difficult sometimes to reach someone by phone, but when you do, they're invariably pleasant and helpful, if sometimes a little vague-seeming. Really more of a 4.5 star than a 4 star. We're glad he's our dog's vet. Recommended read more

I love taking my Eleanor to see Dr. Jakimer, he is so caring and thoughtful, and I love the office and his staff. Ellie can be a handful, but I know that she is well taken care of. read more

Beware of these awful disgusting front desk workers!! I had my kitten get her first rounds of shots here- I had to call/email asking for my kitten's records 5+ times. When they finally sent the records, it was a chart for a dog and it had it marked as if my kitten received dog shots. I asked them for the updated info and they wouldn't send it. Thanks for having me waste $600, my kitten had to be revaxed because you couldn't provide the records!!! Then this morning, months later, I call because it seems my kitten may have a UTI, and they will not answer the phone thought they are open. I think they actually started declining my calls, because now it goes straight to their "we're closed" message. You put my cat's health at risk and I will NEVER be back. Note to management- Find front desk workers with an IQ above 50. read more

Dr. Jakimer IS NOT a great Vet. A great Vet does not intentionally make nervous cats and dogs purposefully wait an hour in a crowded waiting room. I was told that my appt was the first one of the day, but that he is always 'a little late' because he drives from upstate. What??? Why schedule an appt. for 9:30 am when you know you won't be there until 10:30? So you can overbook nervous pets (a corgie peed twice while we waited)? A simple wellness check on a 17 yr old cat came to $459 and of course the predictable recommendation that we switch her to an expensive food even tho her numbers were well within the normal range for a cat her age. He must have some arrangement with the suppliers because he prescribed the same expensive food for my neighbor's pitty-mix with a skin rash. All business, no warm fuzzies . . . WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS CLINIC. read more

Great doctor very honest and his prices are reasonable. Been coming for 7 years . I highly recommend Manor vet . Great staff and trustworthy doctor! read more

We just took our dogs here. Dr. Richard Jakimer seemed very knowledgeable and efficient with the visit. He spent a decent amount of time checkout out our 2 pups. The cost of services however were the highest I have ever paid for vaccinations, fecal, wellness (all costs are X2 for 2 dogs: $708.00): Office Visit: $99.00 x2 Rabies Vaccine (Bi annual): $67.00 x2 Heartworm Antigen test: $60.00 x2 Bordetella Vaccine: $67.00 x2 Fecal Concentration (prepaid): $56.00 x2 Medical Waste/Regulatory Fees: $10.00 Compared to my previous vet these prices are much, much higher. For example the last Bordetella for my dogs was $19.90 each. And the fecal test was $32.00. Granted, those prices were in Portland Oregon, but these prices are pretty hard to justify. We are new to the State so we don't know any better (re: price gouging in New York). If any reader of this review has any info regarding the appropriate cost of these items, please let me know by replying. If these costs are typical in NY then that's just what we have to pay. read more

Manor Veterinary in Pelham,NY has the most compassionate and caring staff I had to put down my beloved Yogi of 13 years one of the hardest days in my life and they consoled me and made Yogi's passing gentle. I was at peace knowing on his final day he was in loving hands Dr.Jakimer and the young ladies thank you and we will never forget your kindness read more

I have known Dr. Jakimer for well over 40 years. He has treated all 5 of our dogs with compassion, sensitivity and caring. He not only has the state of the art knowledge required of the best medical veterinary professionals but the expertise you garner from years of experience. Dr. Jakimer treats your animals as if they were his own. You never have to ask "what would you do if he/she was your dog" because whatever Dr J. Is recommending is exactly what he would do for his own pets. I have many stories I could tell but I will only tell one: It was the end of days for our miniature silver poodle. It was a Saturday and Manor Veterinary Clinic closes at noon. I called well after 12:30 hoping to get through but got the answering machine instead. I left a message for Dr. J. telling him that it was time.... and to call me on Monday morning. I knew that my pet would spend two very uncomfortable days. Five minutes later I got a call from Dr. Jakimer saying "bring her in. I will wait for you". To the person who had the first appointment who complained about having to wait for an hour because Dr. Jakimer comes from a distance and is sometimes late. I just spoke to Dr. Jakimer tonight at 9:30 and he was still in the office returning phone calls. If you want exemplary service and caring, if you want someone to go the max, if you want a vet who will spend as much time with you and your pet as you need, be willing to wait. It's worth it and so are the fees. read more

Dr.Jakimer is truly the pet whisperer. He is very knowledgeable, always on point and the staff are all very warm and caring. The office is always clean and they are all very compassionate and helpful. Highly recommended read more

Manor Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Pelham, New York

You know how when you select a hospital for your family, you want it to be accredited/meeting certain criteria? Well, this hospital MANOR VETERINARY CLINIC IS NOT ACCREDITED. You will see a logo AAHA on doors of vet hospitals. That is the American Animal Hospital Association and you can check on the website to see if a vet hospital is accredited (Manor is NOT). It makes me wonder why a hospital with a doctor who has worked for so many years does not have his hospital accredited. Sorry, I don't pick vets by how nice they are (which seems to be the theme in a lot of the positive reviews). Other thing that is concerning is there is only one vet? I like hospitals with multiple vets as they can bounce ideas off of each other and there is no issue with a vet not being available. Veterinary medicine is constantly changing with technology-this vet went to school over 45 years ago. Please folks- get the best for your pet - not who is nice. You can go to an accredited hospital to ensure certain criteria are met by that process, in a hospital with more than one vet and still get nice treatment. I also saw some of the cost figures cited-amazing that these are costs from a hospital that is not accredited. read more

Definitely a vet that seems more suitable for dogs than cats. I took my senior cat in for a basic exam. Was not entirely unhappy with the services provided, but I've had better experiences with other vets. The $99 fee for an office visit was a bit of a surprise, I usually pay around $60 for a basic exam. read more

Dr Jakimer saved my cat's life. My 10 yr old maincoon mix had a urinary blockage from bladder stones which he diagnosed through an ultrasound. My kitty had surgery soon thereafter, all went well. After a day in the hospital we brought her home making sure she was able to urinate. I watched her try repeatedly to go but nothing was coming out. Although it was after hours I called the office in the hopes the Dr might be there. The answering machine came on so I hung up. A minute later he called back and asked how she was doing. I apprised him of her condition and he said "How soon can you get her here". It was about 7:30 pm and dinner had just been served. I dropped my fork, corralled my cat, even moving the couch to get her who by now wanted no part of the carrier and rushed her to the clinic. The street was dark and the Dr was alone in the office waiting for us. Long story short he had to perform an emergency procedure on her with my wife acting as his assistant while I was an emotional mess thinking I was going to loose my beloved kitty cat. It was a success and she recovered. The Dr made it clear that had we not gotten her there she would not have made it through the night. My cat's blockage after surgery was a rare but possible occurrence. And there was no extra charge for this intervention. Having heard good things about Dr Jakimer I had previously taken my other two cats to see him and was very pleased with the visit. A parking lot next to the clinic, never a long wait and his demeanor is calm and caring. His fees are reasonable and he is not trying to sell you something you don't need. I would recommend Manor Veterinary Clinic to anyone. Even the dog owners in the waiting room sing his praises and share similar stories. Lesson learned for cat owners: transition your cat off dried food completely. Urinary blockages are the biggest causes of premature death in all cats. I have friends that have seen their cats suffer and even die with this painful and gruesome condition. Dried food uses too much water in a cat's system to digest and can lead to a blockage or stones forming. There's no guarantee a cat will drink enough water, even with a fountain dish. With wet food they are always getting water. Dry food was made for the convenience of man not for the health of the cat . read more

Dr. Jakimer and the whole office staff are wonderful. Our dog was always very scared of going to the vet (bathing, loud noises, etc etc!) but Dr. Jakimer was very gentle and kind and we could all feel it and be more at ease. When it was time to talk about end-of-life issues because our dog was old and getting sicker and sicker, Dr. Jakimer could not have been more compassionate and helpful. We fully recommend this office. read more

Dr Jakimer was wonderful. Needed an appointment asap for my Boxer Bruno took me same day. Was in and out in 20 minutes and was very reasonable... Very caring man. Bruno and I were very happy!! read more

I love how much Dr. J truly cares about the animal he treats. There is a very sweet receptionist who sometimes greets and registers people, I think her name is Shaina--or something like that--who is very nice. You just get the impression that every animal is loved. read more

Love the doctor. You definitely can tell he loves animals and really cares about them. Will work with you when the bill is to high

Staff was friendly, good parking, very clean facility. I ended up finding a vet closer to my residence who was more affordable, more attentive and provided more feedback and insights for my pet so I probably wouldn't return here based on this other resource I found. read more

I have been very happy with Dr. Jackimer and Manor Veterinary Clinic. The doctor has a tremendous rapport with animals. Our older dog is VERY frightened at the vet and he did very well calming her down. He is clearly a highly skilled veterinarian. The office is clean and pleasant and the wait has always been short. I am happy to recommend this business. read more

Dr. Jakimer was wonderful truly! caring about my dog and the staff is very friendly. After having dogs for more than 20 years I went through all those expensive business like experiences with vets. Didn't expect to find someone like him anymore, I highly recommend Dr Jakimer and his staff. See for yourself and you won't regret it. read more

I have been using Dr. Jakimer's services over a period of owning Samoyeds and Pit Bulls, spanning our dog's lifetimes of experience from being puppies to saying goodbye. Dr. Jakimer and his staff are knowledgable, familiar with the dogs and owners and compassionate in their care. The front desk is helpful and quick to respond to requests, seeking out Dr. J. for quick questions or guidance. Dr. Jakimer is always ready to explain what he is doing and why, educating us as he goes so that as consumers we are better equipped to understand what is happening with our dogs. We have had two to five dogs in our extended family seeing him for routine visits as well as more complicated conditions such as diabetes. He has helped us deal with the spectrum of our needs and doesn't hesitate to bring in a specialist for consult as needed. He is fair in his pricing of services and accommodating in his schedule to see you and your dog when you need to see him. read more

My family and I have been taking our pets to Manor Vet for about 30 years. He really does care about the animals and the families as well. The staff is always very friendly as well. I wouldn't bring my pets anywhere else. read more
