    ‼‼‼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!

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.

The lovely woman on the phone --Angel I believe--could not have been nicer, sent me a link to pre-register, and everyone--the nurses especially and Dr Greene==could not have been nicer. They took us right away, did bloodwork and some other tests, got the results within minutes, and had a treatment plan set up and consulted my vet (THEY were able to reach him; I never can) within minutes. My cat is still old and unwell, don't mistake that--but she is feeling so much better, and her care is totally being managed. I highly recommend. Yes, it's expensive--but it is a lot less stressful, and potential costs less, than Animal Medical Center. Highly recommend.

From the medical decisions to the way they supported us emotionally, I felt that Gatsby and I were in the hands of people who were deeply committed to doing everything possible to keep him comfortable and to give him the very best care. I will always be thankful for that.

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.

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.

Recently, cystotomy was performed by Dr kalafut on Patches and he is doing great. On Jan 14th 2021, Emergency GI obstruction removal surgery need to be performed for Patches and transfered to Blue Pearl New York Downtown immediately. I was anxious about the surgery because during Covid, where everything was closed or understaffed. Check-in was a breeze On the way to Blue Pearl I checked Patches online at Blue Pearl N Y . When I showed up at the Hospital, I had to sign bunch of covid forms, but a tech came and took Patches inside immediately for his consult. She did not wait for me to finish. Payment Within few minutes I received a call from the Dr, gave every detail over phone and got an estimate by email, my payment went through and we were waiting outside the hospital. They asked us to leave if we wished as he will be discharged after 24 to 48 hr after surgery and we can continue to be in touch over phone. Pre surgery Dr's call Dr Philipa Pavia, called to give comprehensive detail about the surgery and type which she might have to perform and his surgery was bumped up because of its seriousness. She was certain about what Patches needs and We felt he was in safe hands. She then told us to expect another called as soon as the surgery went through. Post-surgery call About an hour or so later received a call from Patches's Surgeon, Dr Pavia, she said, surgery went well without complication and that she performed an enterotomy to remove foreign object. The object was semi-circular, bald, some sort of a ball that he swallowed whole. She informed us about post surgery complications that could happen and what we need to look out for and also informed us that he will have to stay at least 24 hrs for observation and we will receive a call by evening 6.30 pm Prompt Update call ( Evening) We received an update from the Dr, about how he is doing... and that he is on the mend. He was getting IV fluids and also on pain meds.. Got updates about his walk, diet, and demeanor. She said once he eats solid food we can bring him home. Mostly next day. We were told to expect a call in the morning next day. Timely update call (next day morning 8 am) and discharge discussion. Dr Pavia said Patches is doing great and he is in good spirit, he is not eating but that is not a cause for concern as most Pets do that when they are at hospital. She updated us about his walks, and how there were no surprises overnight and that he is healing. Everything goes like this he can be discharged by 6pm later that day. Discharge instruction call and update Dr gave us more updates about Patches and his activity. instructions about monitoring him, more specifically.. his incision site care. Requested follow up after 2 weeks with Blue Pearl or Dr Jones. And complete discharge instructions. Which will be explained when I come to pick up Patches. By 5pm we were eagerly waiting outside and patches was handed to us with discharge instruction (printout with notes, meds, incision care, follow up date.. Basically everything). He looked healthy and happy and so were we :-). Relieved that he is with us mostly how good the team at Blue Pearl has been with Patches. I am so grateful to Dr Pavia and her team at Blue Pearl Vet Downtown N Y for treating patches during COVID lockdown. They fixed him and treated him with such kindness and compassion.
