    Thank you, VERG staff, for caring for our fur baby as best you could and ensuring she was comfortable during her remaining time with us. We took our cat Honey here after she suddenly stopped eating and became ill. Upon our arrival, we were greeted and asked what was wrong. Once I told them what was happening, they immediately took her in for evaluation as I started on the paperwork. Once an assessment was done, the doctor came to speak with us to inform us what was going on and what was needed and to provide an invoice. We were at VERG for a few hours with our fur baby, waiting and hoping she would be okay, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case, and she passed away. Ultimately, the staff here were all very kind and empathetic. We were given as much time with our fur baby as we needed without being rushed or feeling as though we were, and for that, I'm grateful. I know that she passed knowing and feeling how loved she was by all of us (her family).

    I had a deeply distressing experience at VERG Brooklyn with Dr. Elsa Nader, DVM during an emergency visit on November 7, 2025, for my dog, January. After arriving around 5:30 PM, I spent more than seven hours waiting while receiving unclear and inconsistent communication about my pet's condition and care plan. Treatments and billing were initiated before I provided formal approval, and when I tried to set a clear financial limit of $3,504.18 for the first 24 hours of care, I was told that care could not continue unless I agreed in advance to 48 hours of treatment. This situation left me feeling pressured, misled, and powerless to make informed decisions for my own pet. I consider this experience unethical and emotionally traumatic, especially given the circumstances of an emergency visit. Pet owners deserve transparent communication, clear consent, and respect for financial boundaries in emergency situations. I hope VERG Brooklyn and Dr. Nader take steps to address this issue so that no other pet owner has to go through the same experience.

    VERG IS THE BEST VETINARY HOSPITAL!!!!!! I had took my dog to her primary vet today because she just wasn't herself. We found out that she had an extremely high fever and they urged me to take her to the Hospital. They suggested I take her to VEG ER in Williamsburg. My cousin had an AWFUL experience there so I decided to take her to VERG and I'm so glad I did! When I got there I told them I had just brought my dog from the vet with a 105.1 fever and they quickly attended me and the front desk ladies were so kind. They took her vitals. Told me what they would recommend in terms of bloodwork, urine test, etc. they walked me through everything and were very transparent with the cost. They did everything they needed to and the wonderful doctor Laura sat with me and explained everything they found and answered all the questions I had with so much patience and kindness. Everyone there was so kind. For people who are curious about costs. The initial examination was about $230 and everything else they did was added on. It can be pricey but it also is a hospital and they do an amazing job so it was all worth it. also would like to mention that they don't do payment plans but they do have options for an emergency pet care credit card and loan which is very helpful. Even though my pup was okay, I am soooo THANKFUL to all the workers there. THANK TOU VERG. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! PSA. NEVER GO TO VEG ER IN WILLIAMSBURG, all they want is money!!!

    DO NOT GO HERE!!!! The entire experience caused me so much emotional distress and fear, and I don't think I will ever fully recover. My dog got diagnosed with a mast cell tumor and this was the location my vet recommended. The week before his consult, he wouldn't stop throwing up and my vet recommended he see someone here ASAP. I sat in the waiting room for hours and hours crying my eyes out because I had no idea what was going on. They then got his initial results and quoted me around $1600 to tell me it was an intestinal blockage. After waiting for hours AGAIN, they told me he would have to be kept overnight before they handed me another bill for $3500 that I had no possible way to pay (i mean seriously who tf does????) and couldn't leave without paying even though I was in absolute distress and pain. Picked him up the next day all was well. UNTIL. I had to go back again for his surgery a couple weeks later. Seemingly everything had gone well and they sent us home with meds etc but no sort of bandage or cast to securely cover the surgery. In the middle of the night he took his cone off and ripped off his stitches so I then had to take him in the morning for another emergency surgery. They charged me another few thousand dollars on top of what I had already paid for the surgery the day before (mind you, they are the ones that could have been more mindful of the whole situation. 6 months later and we're about to go get another surgery before it still has not full healed...do with that what you will.

    My baby feeling unwell on  second visit.

    VERG is the best facility for emergency vet help in Brooklyn. The staff is attentive, caring, and understanding; the doctors are personable and ensure that the patient's human understand what's going on with the pet. I brought my dog here three times in two weeks, she had to be admitted twice, once for emergency surgery to save her life, and she got the BEST care. I could not be more grateful for this facility and will continue to return here for all my emergency needs.

    How much does a round of treatment for lymphoma on a dog (100lbs if it matters) cost? We will be making an appointment soon and we would like to be more financially ready beforehand.

    Our cat has lymphoma. Bloodwork cost $340. Chemotherapy medicine $426. Chemo administration $146. Waste removal, $41. Subcutaneous fluids and medicines, $185. Medicines to take home, $160. The tumor shrank dramatically in days.

    How much would an abdominal ultrasound ? do we need to pay separately for a consultation if we actually referred specifically for ultrasound?

    There is a minimal $88 consultation fee + whatever services. You can maybe ask for a quote they are very nice there and reasonable.

    Are there any dentist specialists and if so what would cost be for dental repair of an accidental chipped tooth?

    Hmmm, interesting enough, my Catty had to have a tooth pulled. I'm not sure what the cost would be, but you can be referred to their dental specialist.

    Can exam fees be waived such as walk in/emergency?

    No. I don't think so

She didn't take my concerns seriously and prescribed medication for a 'mystery illness'. It became obvious that she wasn't interested in finding the root cause of my dog's symptoms. I was forced to go to my local emergency room for a thorough evaluation and X-rays, which led to a severe IVDD diagnosis and immediate action to save my dog's life. He unfortunately passed within a week. Even more shocking was clinic owner's Dr. Eric Maddon's response to my concerns throughout the ordeal with his staff, including front desk workers that frequently missed morning calls because they could not get to work on time. Over the course of 3 years, my dog was regularly seen by Dr. Maddon for his routine wellness appointments and international travel preparations. I personally informed him that my dog passed.
