    The VEC was recommended by my pet's Vetinarian. The front desk was extremely welcoming and accommodating with offers of coffee, snacks and water while you wait. The doctors was giggly over my dog which was good for her ego! When we enter a vet's office, my dog's heart usually races and she never wants to leave my arms, but here she felt totally comfy. She let them inspect and run tests on her eyes....which is usually pretty invasive, but she felt comfy. While the doctor's ultimate diagnosis of my pets eyes was not good, the doctor did a great job of laying out the facts, history, and what to expect. The doctor made me comfy and put in a mode of care and forward thinking. All in all a great experience, and would highly recommend this team.

    All the staff plus the doctor were very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. The clinic is very clean and it was very present to be there.

    These are the people you want caring for your pets…read more I have been seeing the doctors here with my older rescue dog for years, but we just had our first health crisis last week. They got my boy in for an appointment quickly, treated him gently (he is wildly anxious in the best of circumstances), and they treated me gently, too (also wildly anxious in the best of circumstances). They were clear, communicative, and Dr. Macri ensured I fully understood what was happening with my little friend and what next steps were. A week later, Gomez is back to normal. I know what to watch for, and if (god forbid) anything else happens, I'll be heading back to MHPH with full confidence my dog will be treated with kindness, compassion, and the best veterinary care available. Thank you to the doc and the entire staff. We are so lucky to have you!

Our 4 very senior poodles have been remarkably healthy throughout their lives. Dr. Dan has been there for us during their senior years as we navigate typical aging vs actual illness and respectfully supports our choices for testing and vaccinating sparingly. Shout out to Joan at the front desk as well, she always makes the wait in the waiting room less stressful.

I had a horrific experience that escalated from spinal pain to IVDD surgery. I felt very misinformed and neglected by the practice. The follow up was non existent and the little that did happen was more infuriating than helpful. My best friend just had an equally upsetting visit with her dog peeing blood. The city isn't lacking qualified vets. Go to one that isn't PE backed and actually cares about your animals.

    DO NOT TRUST THIS VET. Our dog Vesper (a healthy, 1-YO border terrier) ended up in the E.R. 2 times…read morefollowing his neutering surgery due to the poor medical care he received at Small Door Gramercy. In fact, Dr. Joseph Tsang (Vesper's surgeon) & the support chat reps were so obviously negligent that SD offered to reimburse us in full for our out-of-pocket medical expenses related to Vesper's case...IF we would sign an NDA agreeing not to publicly share our story. In good conscience, we turned down their settlement offer. If we can prevent even one other dog from suffering unnecessarily the way that ours did, it's worth it to us. In the first few days post-surgery, Vesper was leaking fluid from his incisions, violently shaking, & unable to move on his own. We repeatedly sent messages, photos & videos of Vesper's condition to SD's support chat. They told us his symptoms were normal & no action needed to be taken. After 3 days, Vesper's abdominal wound completely split open. We notified SD that we were headed to the E.R. & brought our dog to VEG Chelsea. Vesper was admitted overnight for intravenous antibiotics & an emergency surgery to clean out his infected wound. The E.R. doc noted on Vesper's records that his other surgical incision showed signs of a potential infection, but Vesper had already gone through so much trauma that she didn't want to cut him open at an additional location. His E.R. records were sent to SD that day, but no one followed up. After the E.R., we scheduled a follow-up appt at SDG. His condition had not improved. He was shaking, unable to stand up, & had a dark red swollen bulge on his lower abdomen the size of a golf ball. Dr. Tsang took Vesper into a separate room to examine him & change his bandages, then brought him back in & told us he looked like he was healing fine. He was so clearly NOT fine, but Dr. Tsang was so self-assured that we let our concerns be silenced. Within 1 hour of returning home, we examined his incisions ourselves & were extremely concerned by the appearance. We messaged the chat with photos & videos & asked them to relay to Dr. Tsang. He replied that it was "just some post-op swelling" & suggested alternating hot & cold compresses. From this point on, we never heard from anyone at Small Door ever again. 18 hours later, we were rushing Vesper to the E.R. again. The swelling was worse & he was visibly suffering. We notified the chat, but never got a reply. When we got to VEG, the E.R. doctor said Vesper's case had become too serious for them to take on (it's a excellent E.R., but small), so they referred us to a specialized vet E.R. for more serious/complex cases (Schwarzman AMC - also excellent). Vesper was admitted there overnight for a 2nd emergency surgery. They told us that it was a good thing we had brought Vesper in when we did because his infection was spreading & he was becoming septic. Later that day, Vesper's medical records were sent from the E.R. to SD. No one ever followed up. Our dog was so sick that we ran 24-hour shifts of care for several weeks. For the next 3 months, we were dealing with the aftermath (an abdominal drain, infected stitches, etc.) & countless doctor's appointments as he gradually healed. Everyone is licensed to make mistakes, but it is how we respond to those mistakes that matters. Neither Dr. Tsang nor anyone at Small Door ever reached out to show any accountability for their repeated failures to provide reliable medical care for our dog. This speaks volumes. Small Door is a VC-backed veterinary sweatshop w a million-dollar marketing budget that enables them to masquerade as the sweet, caring vet-next-door. They may have a nice waiting room, but that has no relation to their quality of care. As a company, they lack adequate processes & training to provide quality veterinary care. I would like to give a shoutout to Dr. Hauser at VEG Chelsea & the incredible team at Schwarzman for saving our amazing little buddy's life & giving him the level of care that he should have had from the start. We now are very happily at Greenwich Village Animal Hospital.

They helped me figure out exactly what he needed and even try out new medications. The pricing is pretty reasonable, and for the service we received, it was bargain.

Instead they continuously message us about being due for an appointment which I feel like is such an insensitive thing to do when we're already grieving. Unprofessional vet clinic - I would avoid this place and not recommend it to anyone looking for a good vet! They don't care about your pets, they only care about the money. Also, if you were thinking of hiring the vet tech Tatiana as a pet sitter -- DON'T! She missed a dose of our cat's medicine, didn't clean the litter box or change the water daily, and then scammed us by asking for more money afterwards. For a vet tech, I would have expected better care but apparently everyone at Rivergate only cares about the money.

I have been going to him ever since. My first dog had a lot of health issues and Dr. Suchanek actually arranged to have a surgeon come to his office to perform the surgery my dog needed. It saved me thousands of dollars and saved my dog's life. He did not have to do that and I will always be grateful. He has always taken care of my sweet pets and even though there are other vets closer to where I live... I would never go to another place. I know my pets are safe and in good hands with Dr. Suchanek. I also don't understand how anyone would say he is expensive.. You try to run a business in New York City... Do you think his rent, his staff and his supplies are all free? Do you have any idea what it must cost him to run the hospital? Pet care cost money.. It is just a fact. Do you want your pet to be healthy? It is going to cost money. Pet food cost money, grooming cost money, pet health care costs money. If you have issues with paying for your pet's care you probably should rethink having a pet.

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.
