Urban Vets Animal Hospital - New York, New York

This is my go to Vet for check ups and annuals especially nail trimmings. You can get your pet taken care of at more affordable prices then most places. Elvin is amazing he’s been doing this for a long time he’s sweet and he really cares. Yolanda is so sweet and compassionate she makes you feel very welcomed like family. These two really make this place special. 5 out of 5.

So I’m dog sitting for an emergency situation. Unfortunately I fell down the stairs with the dog I was sitting. I repeatedly told Dr Cohen the dog cannot put down his knee and that I think the ligaments are torn. I wanted to do X-rays which the owner also wanted but was declined. Granted X-rays don’t show soft tissue, it would’ve helped diagnose a full tear. As someone managing over 100 dog clients year round (trainer / nanny not a dog walker). I do not trust this practice. When I pointed out to the front desk the vet was wrong she hung up on me. I hate to push places like Small Vet or Bond but if you can afford thorough vets go there. ESPECIALLY with major injuries.

I've been coming for the past decade for all three of my Dachshunds, The whole team at Urban Vets from Young & Yolanda to Elvin and Dr.Cohen have always been great and attentive. Their boarding is also great as well. I highly recommend them!

I first came with my dog, Cecilia, for help with incontinence. She was better, but still having problems so they suggested testing for something I thought couldn't be the problem. They were right & got her meds to clear that up too. I like that they're friendly & efficient; genuinely nice people & I haven't felt like I was waiting around forever. I also really appreciate that they're very up-front on pricing/payment & will have a detailed estimate for you prior to treatment. Cecilia is almost 15 yrs old now & we're still going to Urban Vets. I pick up medicine there every month & the staff are wonderful. I'm relieved we've got a friendly, knowledgeable, neighborhood vet for Cecilia.

I didn’t realize you are a liar too.
I glared? You didn’t know how to manage my anger towards you Why in the world would I be angry at you? I was grief stricken. The fact that you couldn’t differentiate grief from anger, makes me question your emotional intelligence. Your tech had his hands around my dog’s throat. I told him I will manage him. That was the last thing I wanted my dog to remember on his way out. I told him I will hold him because I felt his handling was excessive.

We ended up using veterinary emergency instead. I told them my dog is in pain and nipped my husband while he was being picked earlier. Just as I mentioned to your tech. I asked them just like I asked your tech if I could hold him during the procedure. I didn’t want him to be scared. They said YES. They didn’t ask me to put a distressed senior dog on a cold metal table with no padding while suggesting to muzzle him and choke him with big burly hands. This is what your tech suggested under your supervision. Instead, he was in my lap through out the process. Every single person involved showed tremendous empathy, compassion, and patience. You showed none.

You want to twist your story to present yourself in a better light, do so. You know what you did and how you came across.

Original review
What a disgrace of a doctor.

We had to make the difficult decision of putting our boy down. When it came to the examination, the man who calls himself a vet / Cohen looked scared. His back was pressed against the wall. He didn’t make any eye contact. He didn’t say a word. There was no warmth or compassion. He would motion to his tech as if we were invisible. Instead, he had a nasty look on his face as if we were inconveniencing him. It’s quite clear that he is absolutely in the wrong profession.

When the tech asked us to wait, we decided to leave. Paid $107 for a 2 minutes of non verbal interaction. What an absolute dishonor to the profession.

I was given a kitten found in a parking garage. I am not a cat person, but my daughter fell in love with her. We didn't known anything about cats let alone kittens. Urban pets Animal Hospital staff was so informative and super sweet. I was told it was a girl and was 5 weeks old. They informed me about pet insurance and how to care for her. I am forever grateful to them and my new addition to the family.

Without hesitation I would recommend any pet owner to urban vets on 10th st & ave C. I was immediately impressed with the staff and service we received upon arrival. The care to details and professionalism was very comforting. My dog Mila was sick with what I thought was seizures but after the aggressive care and immediate test results revealed that Mila has a heart murmur. They even have the prescriptions at their facility which what’s it super convenient. Mila is back to being a loving playful dog again because of urban vets. With all my heart, thank you urban vets!

10/10 Can not recommend Urban Vets enough! Moving here from South Florida and growing up with 3 dogs, I know the importance of finding a great Vet and especially in NYC the importance of not getting ripped off w/ prices. I chose Urban Vets because of my research and google reviews of other vets in the area, and it was the best choice I ever made when I became a Dog (puppy mom) to my french bulldog Hamilton in June 2019. Dr.Cohen, Elvin, and Stephanie truly go above and beyond any vet office I have been with. Dr.Cohen is super knowledgeable and realistic (when it comes to me freaking out and going on Pet Md) and gives great advice and won't just tell you to do something with your pet so he can profit, he truly cares about his patients and their parents concerns. Elvin, is a one of a kind associate who is very well informed and more importantly loves on my dog in the same obsessed way all dog parents do and exceeds all expectations with the millions of questions I ask. Stephanie- is the reason I became so impressed with the whole Urban Vets office. After my Hamilton's first visit, I received a follow-up call from her for no other reason other then they wanted to check in and make sure he was doing good and we were happy with everything! (THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME WE GO FOR ANY VISIT BTW, even if its just a check up.) The amount of care and heart they have for their patients is incomparable to any other vet experience that myself or even my parents have had. The whole team is awesome and super flexible with being able to move an existing appointment within the same week or even day- as my NYC work schedule can become a bit crazy. Its nice to know they can accommodate seeing your dog last minute and moving appointments. I could go on and on and on, but do yourself a favor and more importantly do your pet a favor and go to Urban Vets for all and any vet needs! I trust them with my little Ham's life in every aspect (even the loving attention they give him) and they are fair in pricing. Overall 10/10 respectable, clean, smart, and honest vet! We <3 you guys!!
