Reviews of Westside Veterinary Center
Nancy Baker
I am one of the oldest clients-- since before the doors opened in the 80's. I have had excellent vets, the lives of cats saved in emergencies and prolonged in ordinary non-emergency life. It is always state of the art care--and personal. Photos are of emergency survivors--a litter of 5 at 6 weeks from food poisoning and cardiac arrest during castration. Thank you, Westside.

Dr Friedman is a gift from
Heaven. My dog and cat have been seeing her several years. She picked up on my dogs lung cancer extremely early and saved his life. We were referred to specialists who promptly removed the cancer. She is the absolute best. Extremely professional and extremely kind human being. Her support staff is equally fantastic and I paid some of them to walk the dog when I was out of town. They are all fantastic. Best vet clinic I’ve ever been to, and I cannot sing the praises for Dr Friedman any louder. She is so very brilliant and kind.
Ana Stephanie Fortuna
I love this place. Dr. Friedman is amazing and my dog Chase really loves her. Her and all of the staff are gentle and so attentive and make us feel super welcomed. I’ve been to plenty of vets and have never been treated so well like we are here. So thankful to have started coming here.
Faith Abrams
Upon unexpectedly adopting a baby Congo African Grey Parrot twenty years ago, we were referred to Dr. Karen Cantor at the Westside Veterinary Center for his initial health screening and follow-up care.
Early in his life, our parrot suffered an injury to one of his talons, requiring immediate medical attention. Dr. Cantor’s expertise, and her kind, gentle handling of our precious bird, were reassuring, both to him and to us.
Throughout these many years, Dr. Cantor has always responded promptly and patiently to every phone call, offering invaluable guidance and information.
We are grateful beyond words for Dr. Cantor, and for the blessing of her exceptional avian care.
Maria H
Everyone was kind and attentive and helped me with my sick kitten. Dr. Rutherford was very clear and supportive and made the time to discuss our options and possible outcomes and make the difficult decisions. All the staff and other doctors were super kind. We felt accompanied and cared for. Thank you.
Noel Hunter
I first came to this place a couple years ago after a cat-specific vet turned my boy away while literally telling me if he wasn't seen right away he could die. Westside took him right away. They seem to really care about the animals they work with and overall are very, very good at easing worrisome pet owners such as myself. It is hit or miss with specific vets, some of course are better/more caring/nicer than others, but as a whole this place is great. The vets call to check up if it's an ongoing issue, they return calls almost always same day, and they will slow down and take the time to listen and explain when asked. They also are always trying to make sure that you aren't spending more than you need for various treatments. Definitely recommend!
Charlotte Davey
Could not speak more highly of Westside vets. I live in Harlem where I have other local vets but I would not use another practice. Always friendly - I feel 100% confident in their services. Dr Friedman is awesome! Charlotte and Milo
Terri Katz
Dr. Kim Rosenthal is an amazing vet, the absolute best. She has treated our dog Lola for 13 years. She was able to detect that Lola had a very serious, neurological, life threatening issue when she was 2 years old and sent us to a specialist who saved her life. Over the years she has treated Lola for various issues that required surgery or specialized tests, going above and beyond. She is passionate, professional and caring and has been extremely kind with Lola. She is also as equally wonderful in her communication and follow up with us. It's obvious she loves her profession and we are very lucky that she is Lola's vet.
Mercedes Mercado
None of the places I usually take my cat to were available and I was SO lucky to find this place! Dr. Lewis was amazing! She was so good with my cat that now I'm totally switching to this place. The entire staff was great so I'm so glad to have discovered it!
Leslie Mantrone
Our cat was having behavioral issues and we were able to use the website to quickly schedule a visit for the next day. We barely waited 5 minutes in the waiting room before we were escorted to the room where our cat would be seen. Our vet was responsive and helpful. Good experience!!
Kora Mancini
I'm thrilled with the wonderful care and affection my fur baby Diego it's been given by the hospital manager Murray and his amazing stuff for almost a year now. My baby Diego is a chihuahua mix 16 years young:) and he boards 3 times a week. He loves being showered with their love and affection but who dog doesn't :) In the beginning he was nervous of going due to the fact that we have a very close bond we're pretty much inseparable but very soon he started showing excitement. The moment we open their door, Diego is extremely happy and looking forward his stay. I highly recommend this place! Everyone there is happy and very welcoming. I'm truly grateful 🙏 thank you!
angela vitaliano
I have been a customer for several years and Dorothy was always in the best hands. And then with Sir Benedict Archibald we were back. Unfortunately we moved so we tried other option until SBA was sick and I wan unhappy with how it was handled. So we took a cab and we got back to see Dr. Rutherford. Best decision ever. Thank you always and we will learn to ride a train ;)
greer smith
staff is friendly, we love all the vets… most importantly my dog loves it there. always on time and can accommodate me in an emergency.
sharon delobo
In 1978 my mother's veterinarian told us that Stuart Brodsky, his new young associate, was the very best Veterinarian he had ever seen. When Dr. Brodsky opened his own Westside Veterinary Center, I followed him there. There has never been a day that he did not live up to that high praise. He also set a high bar for others to follow--and they have, even though he has now retired. From the front desk, to the doctors, nurses and technicians, to the business manager, every animal, and their humans, that walk through those doors is given not only the highest quality medical care you can find anywhere in the world (I know, my animals have 3 doctors in 3 countries) but such kind and loving attention. Stuart Brodsky may no longer be there, and those of us whose animals he cared for will never stop missing him, but the example he set is alive and well at Westside.
Sharon Reaves
I've been a client at Westside Vet for 11 years. Over the years they have taken excellent care of 4 of my pets, a lab who I lost at 14 1/2 and 2 dogs and a cat who I live with currently.
My eldest dog, Gerta, is now considered hospice and I can't begin to thank them for the additional love and support they have shown us especially during COVID-19. Dr Rutherford is simply the best and the vet techs - in particular Rebecca, Amanda and Kim - are patient, kind and helpful when I have the occasional melt down or need help with meds and new ideas for feeding.
There are no words to express my gratitude for the extra time we get together and knowing she is happy, pain free and cared for by all.
Maggie Wood Wood
I have been a client of Dr Cantor@
West side veterinary for a
Loooooong time!
Always impeccable care.
Front desk are patient, approachable, helpful humans which is a very good start!
Virginia Kallianes
My cats have received excellent care at Westside Vets over many years, particularly from Dr. Napolitano (and others, on occasion). Years ago, I was very pleased to find a vet office open on Sunday, when I needed to take in a new cat in an emergency situation, and evenings, given my work schedule. The staff and techs are also highly competent, efficient, and friendly, which must be a challenge in such a busy office! Costs for care are definitely high (but not uncommon for the Upper West Side) but the quality of care and dedication to pets and their humans is also high.
Frankie Gallucci
Westside Veterinary Center consistently treats my rescue pup with genuine love and attentive care. I am continually confident that all decisions are made with optimal cognition and respect. I know my wild boy is in good hands!
Alyson Friedman
Our family has had the privilege of our dogs being under the care of this practice for 25 years. Our beloved dogs were given the best care and our family was always given the most considerate treatment during very difficult times as well as during well visits. Our doctor, Dr. Napalitano and the doctors, vet techs and office staff at the West Side Veterinary Center really care about their patients and families. I would recommend this practice without hesitation because they have 24 hour care and specialists to address a wide range of pet issues. I find the personal care and attention to be the most comforting aspect of this practice.
Julie Yao
Darcy and I love Dr. Lewis! I will be the first to admit that I’m a hypochondriac when it comes to my dog, but Dr. Lewis has a way of speaking to me that is at the same time so sweet, succinct, and informative without being condescending in the slightest. Going to the vet with your aging pet is never fun, but Westside has made it as comfortable as possible. Whenever I freak out over anything, I know I can just pick up the phone and talk to a standby nurse or Dr. Lewis (who will call me back at 9pm just to make sure I get answers). I know Darcy is in good hands and would recommend Westside to anyone. Their prices, while fair for the neighborhood/quality of service, are not cheap, but you can count on them always being transparent.
J Winkelried
Dr. Rosenthal is the absolute best Vet we have ever been to. He has never been happier and healthier. Great staff and vet techs! They answer the phone 24/7.
Roberta H
A superb vet practice with excellent staff! . We've been a fur-family with them for over 12 years and every vet, tech and front desk person has been engaged, warm and caring, patient, helpful and professional. They are clearly not only animal lovers themselves, but they appreciate the profound nature of the human-animal bond and how we humans need their kind attention as well.
Jake Zwickler
Westside Vet Center is amazing. Dr. Friedman is very down-to-earth and takes great care of my puppy. The staff seem to love working there and are very considerate and helpful. I’ve never had a problem getting in contact with them or making an appointment. I appreciate them a lot.
Michael Ozechov
My pup Gooses’ has gone here to see the Doc several times and each time the visit is timely and thorough. We’ve visited several vets and I must say our experience here feels TOP NOTCH each time. Also a bonus that they’re really nice when accommodating our schedule. Thank you Doctor Rutherford and the whole team!
Lenin Mercedes
I can’t say enough good things about west side veterinary center. They are attentive and caring….I brought my little boy Diesel here on several occasions…. From Dog bites to paw injuries….. and time and time again…. from making an appointment on the phone. to the receptionist….. as well as the Doctor……in this case it was Dr.Bodkin…. They were amazingly nice thoughtful and caring……Please bring the little member of your family here …… you won’t regret it. Thank you guys……From Diesel Rivas the Yorkie and his Dad….❤️❤️❤️❤️

The dreaded emergency visit to the vet is enough to set most humans on edge for multiple reasons. I'm not sure if the design of the office was conceptualized for what I'm about to point out but the openness helped alleviate stress. We were seated parallel to the window and could see through towards the back.
At another vet's office we waited in the front while they took our cat to the back. At this location we accompanied our cat to the examine room. She was escorted upstairs for bloodwork while we briefly waited in the examine room. This process felt inclusive and natural. The vet was compassionate and discussed cost along with procedures. We didn't feel vilified for considering budgetary choices.
The staff is respectful and friendly. On one visit to pick up medication I gave my cat's name and one of the nurses gleefully repeated the name because she remembered my cat. It felt like home in that moment.
Ashley Kemper
The vets at this practice are kind, knowledgeable, and great to work with. We’ve seen a few different vets with our French bulldog and they have been patient and warm with both the animal and the humans in the room!
While the vets are top notch (and really…that’s what you’re here for) prepare yourself for a frustrating waiting room experience. It could be that the team is simply understaffed right now, which is understandable. But the last three visits, after a smooth and easy 20 min appointment with the vet I’ve been stuck waiting for another 30 min or longer just to have prescriptions filled and pay my bill.
William Benjamin-Harper
Great humanity for the pets, the vets talk with you & explain everything. And there is a followup call from the vet afterwards. Outstanding!
Juliette B
Oscar (my beloved maincoon rag doll cat) and I have always had great experiences here. I went with this location because of all of the great reviews and they did not disappoint. Oscar can become un friendly when he doesn’t feel safe but I’ve hardly even seen him try to hide from a vet here let alone hiss at someone. Love this place, I highly recommend them.
Jody Prusan
Kind and super professional !
I'm so appreciative of the kindness and generosity of the staff at Westside Vet. In challenging times they provide 24 hour support and care. The staff in the office and in the hospital are caring and attentive and professional. With appreciation from Scotty!
Amorita Gharib
And again Dr. Rutherford and her staff were amazing with our big dog. They were friendly, kind, professional, and caring during the exam and while drawing blood from my 10 year old dog. The place was very clean and welcoming. Great place to go with your pets!
Sweeny Padilla
Most caring staff knowledgeable Professional. Took very good care of my 8 month kitten Explaineing the procedures advises of the care afterwards and dietary needs.
India Robinson
Such a great experience from start to finish. Appointment scheduling was easy with a friendly receptionist. Upon arrival the office was busy but my appointment was on time. The doctor was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. Will recommend to friends and family
Elizabeth Busch-Le Ne'
Westside Veterinary Center was there for me when I needed a rush appointment for my dog. They saw me immediately and told me exactly what the problem was. They supplied medications and made the whole process as client-friendly as possible. Thanks to everyone there.
Barbara Zimet
My darling corgi Micki was a patient of Dr. Kim Rosenthal about 15 years ago. She is the most amazing , caring and loving veterinarian it has been my pleasure to meet and work with.
When I got my cat Zelda, I found Dr. Kim Rosenthal at Westside Veterinary Center. We went there for an all over check up due to the fact I got Zelda from the NYC ACC( NYC Animal Care Center). You can check out my cutie. It was fantastic to see Dr. Kim again and she was, once again fantastic with Zelda. She has an amazing touch with animals & humans.
The support staff is wonderful and friendly as well. I couldn't be happier with Westside Veterinary Center. I highly recommend them.
Jayne Houdyshell
I have been bringing my cats to Westside Veterinary Center for 3 years, and I have to say that they are the best I've found in NYC. The Doctors are top notch, the Vet Techs are so kind and compassionate, and the office staff is friendly and extremely helpful. It's such a gift to have Vet services for my beloved senior kitty that I trust completely. I feel like both my cat and I are in the best hands possible. There's no praise too high for all who work there. So grateful for their dedication to the profession.
Dina B.
Dr. Cantor is very caring and has been extremely helpful when it comes to my cat who is diabetic. Daisy, a vet tech, is super nice and I have had her cat sit for my cat (she gives him his insullin.) I trust her and appreciate her care.
Pat Poole Parrilla
Our Vet at WVC is Dr Tamika Lewis who is an awesome human bar none! Our pets ( dogs/cats) over the years have had the benefit of hearing her greeting them on the floor w/ loving inflections in her voice, Hey Buddy, heeey buuudy! Even before she starts calling them by their given name tails start wagging non- stop. Dr. Lewis has seen us through some really tough stuff w/ choice of options for treatments. When the hard decisions come knocking we have had to trust her experience and judgement. She has never steered us wrong. Anybody with a pet right now is dealing with skin and food allergies-- surely other more serious stuff as well. I am gracious Dr Lewis is on the case. I wish she was a mobile VET...Geez. That would be Awesome!! The front desk always has worked with us respectfully as we call ahead to see if a room.is available our boys arent waiting room freindly😄😍 The Poole- Parrillas + tails
Lex Lalli
I had to change vets after 20 years because I moved back full time to NYC.. Westside Vet Center was recommended and I found them to be a very good choice. There was not a long wait, the Vet was competent and did a thorough examination of my 18 year old cat (in good health) and was compassionate and considerate.
Rachel Beck
Just took my cat to this vet for the first time after moving to the neighborhood and was very happy with the service and care. Dr. Cantor did a great job and happy to be taking my cat to a place where the staff seems to really care about your pet (and not the bottom line).
Michaela Flynn
We had an amazing experience here! The entire staff was very friendly and informative. Dr. Jones was amazing and made sure that she answered all of our questions and kept us very informed. Our cats loved the doctor and the rest of the staff as well. Really positive experience!
Jodi Lustig
From routine shots and checkups to the direst emergencies, there is nothing that everyone at Westside -- really, everyone from the office managers to the doctors, doesn't handle with care and expertise. I adore them, and my dog gives them five woofs!
Emily P
Dr Jones is very good and knowledgeable. She took care of my dog’s anxiety and was on the spot with all of her recommendations. I feel safe bringing Alex there and I highly recommend them.
Cindy Rosenshein
I have no bad things to say about the staff at Westside Vet Center. From the vets (shout out to Dr Lewis) to the technicians and reception staff, my kitty and I always get A++ treatment
Kate Haggerty
My pets have been treated by Westside Vet for over 20 years. I wouldn't even consider going elsewhere. The doctors and staff are knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. They go the extra mile to make sure their patients are getting the best care possible, and that the human pet-parents know what the care will involve and what the options are. Highly recommend!
Bianca Bishop
I can't speak highly enough about this practice! Finding a vet for my rabbit was hard enough since rabbits are considered exotic pets. After having bad experience with another vet in nyc who addressed almost none of my concerns, I was hesitant to try another vet but knew I needed to for the sake of my sweet pet. When I first called this time office I asked if they had any doctors knowledgeable with rabbits, the receptionist misheard me and thought I said "magical with rabbits" while we both laughed I wouldn't describe Dr Cantor and her team as anything less. From reception to techs to doctors everyone made me and my rabbit feel so comfortable. I was given new helpful information regarding care for my rabbit, and they were able to treat her for her terrible case of ear mites (which included cleaning her ears), something the previous vet said my rabbit didn't have despite me telling him all her symptoms and history. The best part was that I was able to be with my rabbit the whole time, she was never taken to a separate room so I knew everything that was happening and was able to learn as the professionals were treating her. Everyone that stopped into the exam room was so sweet and loved on my bunny so much while still providing top care for her. I'm so glad I found this practice and so thankful for everyone who works here especially Dr, Cantor!
Katherine Hoyt
Westside Vet is the best veterinary practice I have encountered. You can schedule your visit online or by phone and when you get there the staff are friendly and welcoming. Your vet spends a lot of time with you and your dog and never seems in a hurry and seems to love your dog as much as you do. Follow-up is first rate. The facility is small and not luxurious but you cannot get better care!
Kei Linn
Came here with great recommendations from friends for my devon rex kitty. Here for a general first health check up, vaccines, stool checks etc. The staff from calling to make an appt for a first visit was very friendly, patient and kind. Answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. Today was the visit, and again the staff that met me outside was friendly, knowledgeable and very gentle with my cat. They were on time and the office was well run. I got a call from Dr. Cantor to go over things and discuss routine treatment plans and etc. Very thorough and no pressure on anything. I asked for the works to make sure my cat is healthy and now I'm just waiting on lab results. Great vet practice, highly recommend!
Gabriel Harris
Very nice, professional and caring. I have been coming here for over 20 years and very happy. Definitely recommend.
Wendy Kassel
I started taking my cats to West Side Vet in the 80s, and they have been looking after the 7 that I’ve had over the years with such love and affection. They greet the newbies with such joy, and share my sadness as a generation moves on. They provide superb medical care, great service and are always attentive to both the animals and their humans.
I’ve had sick cats that I checked in on in the middle of the night, and there is always someone there to give a factual, empathetic report.
My primary vet is Dr. Rosenthal, who is so devoted to her charges. But I’ve also been supported by other vets over the years for emergencies or when she isn’t available, and they provide the same devotion and professionalism.
I would go no where else!
Mike
Amazing establishment. Organized, caring, loving and always there for our beautiful pets. Dr. Napolitano is an amazing vet. She loves my pug Maggie and takes such good care of her. The appointments are not rushed and Dr. N is always available to chat and answer questions. I had a small issue once and the owner called me directly to rectify the issue. I feel like a valued customer and will continue to support Westside Veterinary Center.
melodie Gonzalez
I love this clinic... They have been so great with both our Maltese and cat. They were so supportive when our elderly cats passed away and even made paw print 🐾 casts so that our family could have a keepsake. They also have great evening and weekend appointments and that helped us out tremendously with our work schedules! Dr. Rutherford is our pets vet and she is the absolute sweetest! Front desk staff and animal clinical staff are always happy when they greet you and your pet, can tell how much they all love animals!
Gilbert Brovar
This is an excellent veterinary practice. The doctors are great and the staff is very accommodating and helpful. I recommend them highly.
Samantha Rosen
My friends and I had discovered a stray cat in Riverside Park and were directed to bring her here. They were so helpful and kind, and even managed to find someone to take her in! They immediately started to help us and made this a quick and easy experience. There was no doubt that this cat would be cared for and loved and safe with them. I would definitely recommend this business!!
Kelcy Brock
TLDR: staff and techs are incredible, Dr. Jones in particular goes far above and beyond to provide care, reassurance, and comfort. 10/10.
I had an emergency with my baby girl and we had just moved to the city. I frantically called here looking for guidance. The staff answered all of my questions and got me an appointment as soon as they could (even though I wasn't even technically a patient yet!) Once we arrived, everyone was incredibly kind and helpful. Dr. Jones took my very long list of questions and paranoid concerns and addressed them one by one, ensuring I understood and was comfortable with all treatments and tests and even itemized/explained all costs. All I can say is above and beyond. Highly recommend.
Vicki Bilski
I have been bringing my dog Max here for over 7 years and have always been impressed by the high quality of care provided by all the staff. From the time you come in ..the receptionists are so nice and helpful, the aides and nurses so caring and professional. And the doctors Great! Max does have his primary Vet who is terrific, Dr.Cantor. But one of the many great strengths is that all the doctors that Max has seen have been excellent! That is so comforting to know that whoever sees him will take good care of him. I find the costs to be quite fair I have never been overcharged. Everything and procedure has been explained and no unnecessary procedures done. Best of all it is a 24/7operation. When Max got sick at 2am I called, took him in and he was seen helped and lovingly cared for. What an amazing place!
Joana Miranda Studio
We have been very pleased with the care that our two cats have received from Westside Veterinary Center. Dr. Napolitano is professional, personable and caring; and both Drs. Bodkin and Friedman have been very helpful in emergency situations when we haven't been able to get in with Dr. Napolitano. Because we are first-time pet owners and have only been to Westside Veterinary Center, I can't comment on this practice's pricing in comparison to others. However, it does seem to be fair and priced according to NYC rates. Lastly, all of the veterinary assistants and front-end receptionists we have encountered at the practice have also been lovely to us and to both cats.
May
We appreciate that the doctors here aren't pushing us to buy certain foods or prescribe unnecessary tests or procedures. We've found that they take a mindful and moderate approach to care for our pup. While we don't live in the neighborhood, we find their services are well worth the trip!
FAITH BLESSINGS
Best in town I was so happy to find a fantastic vet in the city. Very reliable, prices are reasonable basically as all other vets in the city. My dog was spayed and given all updated shots-vaccinated and complete physicals several visits times over the years. I would highly recommend Westside.
Steve C
The Vets, nurses, and staff at Westside Veterinary Center are TOP NOTCH! My girlfriend and I rescued a puppy recently and have had several visits with Dr. Chiverton who gave our pup a much better experience than I have ever had at my physician's office! She was warm and loving, keeping a genuine interest in the progress of our puppy's health, giving helpful advice along the way.
The nurses are pleasant, helpful, and experienced. They were warm and friendly to our puppy who can be quite rambunctious and hard to deal with in certain circumstances.
The staff is extremely friendly as well, greeting everyone with smiles and go above and beyond to make your overall experience a great one.
I would highly recommend this vet center to anyone in or around the area who hasn't been to try them out - you will NOT regret it!
yvonne jones
Always professional. Westside has been my baby’s Vets for the last 10 1/2 years. This company can’t be replaced. Love this company dearly.
Alexandra Ragazzi-Chianese
We were looking to change from my past Vet, New York Veterinary Hospital because of distance and price and found positive reviews for Westside Veterinary Center.We are so happy we made the switch! I brought my cat Jim to see Dr. Lewis and immediately felt comfortable with her and all the staff. When we adopted our dog Stella, she was so helpful and positive and helped us cure her of some hair loss that she was experiencing. The staff is very helpful and helped us with Pet Insurance options and are very flexible with the scheduling. As long as we live in the city, I will continue to go to Westside Veterinary Center. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to switch or looking for a reliable veterinary office.
Jason Birnbaum
They take excellent care of my dog. Always responsive and quick with anything I need.
Laverne Leonard
I have been going to Westside Vet for years with both of my large German shepherd dogs. All of the doctors that treated my dogs were good, but Dr. Karen Cantor is the BEST. She has always been attentive and accessible!
If I needed her and left her a message, she always got right back to me. Even while on vacation. I felt secure in her hands with my large babies. I have recommended someone recently to Westside Vet and they love Westside Veterinary too. One of my 12 year babies just died, I bought her to Westside Veterinary Center and they loving took care of her for me. But should i get another dog, I will definitely bring them to Westside Veterinary Center.
jay andors
Excellent care, sincere concern and understanding of both my needs and my cats needs I can’t express how much I appreciate the way Dr. Brodsky Guided me I highly recommend this practice
Back in early December I had hip replacement surgery. I needed to find a reliable and
safe place to leave my dog Domino for at least the first three weeks of my recovery. I
realized it would be optimum to have both boarding and vet care available at the same
site. In that regard, I was hopeful that my trusted and longstanding vet of many years
(for both my dogs), West Side Veterinary Center (“Westside Vet”), could accommodate
this request. Murray, the manager, said yes, of course, and assured me Domino would
be fine. The way Murray and the staff addressed my concerns during this time was
caring, reassuring, and professional. I knew Domino was in good hands. I can’t thank
Murray and the whole Westside Vet team enough. I highly recommend them.
D Arslan
I rarely wish I could give a place 6 stars but this is one of them: About two months ago I adopted a rescue pup. I never had dogs growing up and this is my first dog. Ever. He was just 13 weeks and despite months of preparation the reality can be difficult. He’s had vaccinations he needed to finish and being a pup, several infections. I can say I sleep better at night knowing I have the support of Westside. Each and every single person I’ve interacted with has been not only prompt, thorough and knowledgeable, but ALSO friendly and just genuinely kind. I feel like this last bit is rare in the city, especially at high paced environments. (I wish all my doctors’ visits went as smoothly as my dog’s vet visits) my dog actually gets excited when we walk by, so i know that he is well cared for inside.
Helene Brenner
I have been bringing my dogs to West Side Vet for over twenty years. I have found the doctors professional and loving and talented. No matter what we needed, no matter the situation my dogs ( all four of them!!) were in, emergency care or yearly exam the experiences were terrific. And West Side Vet has a wonderful support staff and people at the desk who know you and your dog by name. Highest recommendation.
Dr. Vince
My boy Travis had an ear infection and I was having it treated at my local Ct veternarian but after his first treatment he developed an hematoma on his right ear. While on vacation, they scheduled two more visits with no success. After visiting Westside Vet, I was very pleased with the excellent service I received, and to my joy, the doctor was finally able to treat the hematoma successfully - he now has NO hematoma and is very happy as am I.

We've been taking our furkids to the Westside Veterinary Center since 2013. The front desk staff are always so helpful; the place is very clean and everyone we've dealt with very professional. But I have to say, the main reason this veterinary clinic gets five stars from me is Dr. Rutherford. She is incredibly nice, gentle, personable, knowledgeable, and -- just by watching her handle my doggies, and any other pet under her care -- you can tell she truly loves her job. She's one of a kind.

Last week I picked up my little bundle of joy after he needed to stay two nights due to a fever . My Saint was only 2 months (almost 3) & I felt so horrible about leaving him overnight, but I had to trust he was in good hands. I absolutely love love love this place so much! Not only did they call me to update me, but they loved my Saint just like their own. A week later and today he is as better as ever, & I have your guys to thank for that. Your patience, your time, your hard work does not go unnoticed. Saint and I love and appreciate you all so much. Thank you sincerely!
Julia Beatty
Dr. Tamika Lewis is THE BEST. We trust her completely with our two Jack Russells for several years now. She works with a great team at every level of the vet center that clearly work very hard to meet the needs of their furry patients and their humans. Thank you for being such amazing care people for Uptown NYC pets!
Andrea Pukulis
We received the best care at Westside Vet! My dog was bit by another dog and I came in as a first time patient in a panic. They accommodated us quickly without an appointment, with empathy and care. Dr Melanie Friedman quickly won over my dog and made her incredibly comfortable. She even followed up the next morning with a call to see how my dog was feeling. Such a kind and caring staff- from receptionists to vets. I cannot recommend enough!
Derya Style
Westside Veterinary is the BEST vets in the city hands down. So grateful I found this place! They really care about your pet. I brought my Pomeranian 'Prince' in for an broken paw’ and doctor Kathleen Colby and Dr Rutherford are amazing they took good care of him and they are both incredibly thorough and Knowledgeable. It is always a pleasurable experience to visit this immaculate office. The entire staff is caring and truly provide a excellent service! Highly recommend this place!
Bruce Baier
This was my first visit to Westside Veterinary Center and I was extremely satisfied from the minute I walked in the door. The office staff was very friendly and offered to help with my elderly dog. I was able to see a doctor very quickly. Dr. Rutherford was extremely compassionate and helped make my dog feel very comfortable. She reviewed her test results and gave her medication accordingly. It was a wonderful first visit experience. They also gave a follow up call which impressed me.
Elizabeth Hayt
The veterinary doctors at West Side are the finest I have ever known. Their medical care of my many generations of dachshunds has consistently been as outstanding as it has been loving. My questions are answered with thoroughness and even the most ordinary of procedures, such as a dental cleaning, is never hastily undertaken, but rather considered in terms of my dog’s age and overall heath. The nurses and technicians are equally attentive, patient and kindhearted. The animal hospital is efficiently run, clean, and well-stocked with medication and special food, should a pet require it. In an emergency, I have always been able to rely on the staff to treat both my pet and me with the seriousness that the situation warrants. I urge anyone who is seeking the highest quality veterinary care to turn to West Side. You will not be disappointed.
Bee Boyer
After not seeing Dr Kim Rosenthal for a few years I recently went back to West Side Veterinary . Not only is she a brilliant diagnostician but she showed unusual compassion by calling me on President’s Day to inquire if my dog was doing better. Above and beyond the call of duty.❤️
Cailey Golden
I have never had a single bad experience. I've taken my puppy here since she was 8 weeks old. She's 6 months now, has had zero issues with the different vets she has seen or the staff.
Her spay went amazingly and she was back to herself the second she got used to her cone at home. I'll definitely be coming here her entire life.
Mohammed Shaik
A friend recommended this place when my cat was having a pretty terrible allergic reaction to his vaccines. The staff and Dr. Lauren were just perfect. They gave me a plan of action on the phone so I knew what to expect when I got to their ER (on a snowy Saturday evening no less). Dr. Lauren gave me updates every 15 minutes and I was able to take my cat home that evening. In NYC, it's hard to find good people -- people that are really accommodating and supremely competent. And Westside Vet Center are good people.
Alyssa Smith
I've taken four of my pets to Dr. Cantor over twenty years, and she's been incredible: responsive on the phone, willing to stay late hours during an emergency, and always happy to see my birds. If you are looking for an amazing avian vet who cares deeply about her clients, stop by Westside Vet.
Mercedes mercado
Dr. Lewis and the staff were so caring and helpful when I brought in my cat that I'm switching vets and sticking with this amazing place.
Vishrut Patel
Professional, welcoming, and quality first - Westside Vet has provided us consistently great service for our puppy. We feel confident bringing him and at ease asking questions. The staff are very attentive and not only does our dog feel stress-free, so do we. From the patience of the administrators to the attentive doctors, Westside Vet provides a high quality of care and is highly recommended.
Heather H
I’ve been going to Westside Vet for years. My dog loves Dr. Rutherford and so do I. She is a wonderful vet and always makes sure all your questions are answered, I’ve never felt rushed.
I also board my dog with them now that she is older. I just got a new puppy and Dr. Rutherford got a new patient!
Judith Garner
Westside Vet is a warm and welcoming place that really focuses both on the patient and on the patient's human family. We have only had great experiences with everyone there, including staff members and doctors. Our dog liked going there, which speaks for itself - he wagged his tail when he saw his friends (the caretakers) and happily boarded there as well, with no fear. They took great care of him throughout his life When he became ill they couldn't have been kinder or more compassionate and helped us through a very difficult time. Very highly recommended!
Lauren Donohue
I have used Westside Veterinary Center for 20 years and I have always felt listened to and have felt my beloved companions have gotten the best care I could ever hope for. They have been there for me in every supportive way through the happy times and the inevitable sad times.
In addition to having first rate doctors, their nursing staff in extraordinary.
To put it succinctly, Westside Vet is a first rate veterinary center.
michelle dolnick
I bring both of my dogs to Westside, and the care that they have received is excellent. It is a welcoming place. The only aspect that I am not crazy about is that I see a different vet almost every time, which makes for less than optimal continuity - but I also contrition this as my schedule is difficult so I can't pick an appointment when a particular doc is there. They are warm and caring with my fur babies, and I trust the care that they receive. A bit pricier than some, but worth it for piece of mi d.
Gavan Vogler
Elmer our dog has been going to Westside Veterinary for the last 7 years. He loves it. We love the staff and the neighborhood feel. Forget about those new places. All show!
Suzanne LaFont
In spring 2019, my puppy was attacked and bitten in the face. They arranged for us to be seen very quickly. Dr Lauren seemed very caring and patient. 4 instead of 5 stars because they separated me from my dog to clip the wound area and flush it. I would have preferred to stay with her. Will go back there. It was clean and the staff were helpful and nice.
Jan 2020: Last week I went back to the clinic when my dog had an ear infection. Dr Lauren moved to California so I saw Dr. Rutherford. She was kind, gentle, patient and thorough.
Two things stood out:
1. At the time of the visit, my pup was also due for shots but they could not administer all on them at the same day so Dr Rutherford arranged for the next round of shots to given by a nurse - no appt necessary and no visit fee.
2. Dr Rutherford phoned three days after our visit to check up on how my pup was doing. It was a nice touch and I plan to make her my pup's primary caretaker in the future.
Highly recommended!
William Gildea
Great Vet’s Office! Always helpful and never hard to get an appointment
Merry Li
The doctors at Westside Vet are amazing. They love the animals, are extremely caring, not to mention knowledgeable and professional. I've met a couple of doctors who are all great, and Dr. Lewis, our main vet, is especially attentive and just the best. The supporting staff are all very nice and never says no to my dog begging for petting. Their 24/7 emergency service also offers a great peace of mind - my dog once got bitten late at night before I learned dog first aid, and I rushed him to Westside and he was immediately attended to by a nurse and the doctor came soon too and prescribed antibiotics.
I recommend Westside to anyone who wants the best care for their furry friends!
Steve Ss
I only recently started going there, as my cat is getting older and having some joint issues. They were all very nice and courteous. It is also a great location for me. Dr. Rutherford is a very thorough practitioner and was very gentle and sweet with my grumpy cat. He is having some new issues and, again she is very thorough with the options we have and is giving me the best guidance as how to proceed, step by step. Aside from some billing mistakes, it has been a terrific experience going there.
Nini Schwenk
Have used this practice for thirty years for my pets and our store cats! I could never ask for better care for my babies--Dr. B. is the best but in emergencies I have seen other vets and been very happy. Have had many procedures done there, teeth, neutering, etc. All resolved very happily. The staff, especially Crystal and Murray not to mention Dina are all terrific.
Debbythegoldman
Dr Karen Cantor DVM & (Certified Avian) has been seeing my African Grey, Trouble (that's his name) since I became his human in 2001. In addition, she's treated my cat, Queenie who passed in 2015 after 16 wonderful years. Dr Cantor and staff also treat Rooney, Queenie's great-great grand-kid.
The entire team at Westside is beyond wonderful, professional and caring. When Queenie was older and needed medication, I hired (with the blessing of West Side) one of the veterinary technicians to come to our home and give Queenie her medications when we were traveling.
When it was time for Queenie to pass, I didn't want to further traumatize her with a cab-ride, so another clinic cared for her and helped both of us with the transition and grief - A week later, I received a lovely sympathy card from Karen and Westside. Really, they loved her as much as I did.
In closing, Westside is such a great team. We live downtown, yet travel to Westside because of the level of care and the wonderful people. Highly recommend Westside Veterinary, and especially Dr Karen Cantor for anyone with a companion parrot!
Mary Hatten
Westside is absolutely outstanding. Dr Cantor has treated my dog and cats for almost 20 years with state of the art care and compassion. The entire staff is wonderful. Their 24h emergency care and hospital are added features. You can even call the nurse in the middle of the night to check on your hospitalized pet! The best in NYC by far.
Grace Han
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
It was my first time here with a 10week old puppy and although I had to drop off the pup due to Covid restrictions, the nurses and vet were so incredibly kind and attentive.
Speaking on the phone with the vet about my puppy’s vaccines and health, I could just tell by the sound of the vet’s voice that she truly cared.
I won’t go anywhere else! Price is reasonable and they explain each charge throughly.
I left with a healthy puppy and peace of mind!
Leeanna Cota
I had a great experience at Westside Veterinary. My appointment was very prompt and the doctor and nurses were super efficient with time. Coco (my cat) also had the best experience possible and the Vet was more than willing to talk through various options so that I could find preventative care that fit within my budget. They also have a wide arrange of foods and treats, which makes it easy to stop in only one place for all my cat-related needs. I'll definitely be coming back!
Lisa Minsky-Primus
Westside Veterinary Center did an incredible job taking care of my pet--
and my family. My daughter found a large tumor on her gerbil last week. Dr Cantor and the surgeon fixed our pet up, and the staff was fabulous. Everyone we spoke with was efficient and supportive. They made what could have been a very difficult situation into something that felt safe and easy. Thank you!!!
Minerva Davila
Up until yesterday's visit to this establishment, I would have given them 5 stars and raved about their services. Don't get me wrong, I have been taking my two chihuahuas to Westside Veterinary Center for the past 4 or 5 years. My husband and I both love Dr. Rutherford. She is the best! My K-9's love her and we love her. Unfortunately, the front line staff at this center are not as caring, empathetic, and trustworthy as she is. I booked an appointment for 11:20 am yesterday for my oldest chi, Nana. She's elderly and we worry about her a lot. After her latest mishap, she stopped eating and seemed to be in pain. Although we live in Riverdale (The Bronx), we still commute to the upper west side for our veterinary needs. On our way there, I saw that we were running 10 minutes late. I stopped to call and let them know we were running late but were almost there. The woman at the front desk stated, "well, I'm sorry but Dr. Rutherford may not be available, you're running late and she's busy with other patients that were on time." I could not believe what I was hearing. In the midst of my panic, I realized that we were literally two blocks away. I ran to the center, walked in and said, "I was the woman who just called. I'm willing to wait to have my dog seen by Dr. Rutherford because I just traveled for an hour to get here." The woman behind the desk said, "sign in and the time is 11:38 a.m." I settled in determined to wait a couple of hours. Three minutes later, they called Nana in. Dr. Rutherford's patient sweet demeanor and thorough assessment and reassurance helped eased my anxiety. But I can't stop thinking of that woman behind the desk that tried to get us to go home! I wish I had asked for her name. BTW, Nana is doing so much better and Dr. Rutherford is the reason we will continue to patronize Westside Veterinary Center.
Cheyenne Morales
Westside Veterinary center has been so efficient as for my experience. They have always made time for Manchi's / my emergence issues.I can also say they have great communication it is definitely on point!. This facility is comforting the Dr.s and Staff are extremely friendly and warm welcoming . Dr Luis Thank you for fitting us in last min it worked out great!!
Cheyenne Morales & Manchi <3
Nina Delgado
Highly recommend them. Dr Bodkin is great with my dogs, as well as nurses and front desk staff, they are very welcoming and nice with all pets they see. They don't over medicate them like their previous vet, and only do the necessary tests and keep track well of all vaccines and treatments they need. Overall best Veterinary I know.
Dan Darlington
Love these guys! They all love animals but still tell you like it is. It is a very friendly environment but also professional. I never have trouble getting an appointment or speaking to someone on the phone. My vet Dr. Chiverton is excellent and has a great love for her patients. She is also to the point, doesn't guess, give you options, and listens to you. Very refreshing. I would recommend this center to everyone.
Peter F
The pet care experience at Westside Vet Center is a continuum of excellence, from making an appointment to being processed at the front desk to seeing a staff Vet to ultimately and most importantly securing appropriate care for your pet (in my case, our dog) and finally to providing the documents to submit to your pet insurance policy. I believe their point of view, certainly in my experience, is to err on the side of conservative measures, instead of opting for the full monty immediately. The Vet who saw and treated our dog was Dr Rutherford, who was absolutely first tier in all respects.
Heidi Sandreuter
I've been taking my cockapoo to Dr Lewis for seven years now and I can't recommend Westside Veterinary highly enough. The staff is super friendly, the follow-up is great and Dr Lewis is fantastic. The entire operation is a well-oiled machine and everyone truly loves animals. I appreciate how the whole team works to care for my sweet dog.
Joshua Newman
We'd previously used another vet on the UWS, but after rescuing a new puppy, we decided to try Westside based on the strong recommendations of dog run friends. Turns out, they were right: the team at Westside has been wonderful, responsive, thoughtful, friendly, and professional. We'll be sticking with them, and would definitely recommend you check them out, too!
Susana Brea
This was my first time taking my dog to them and I have to say I had a wonderful experience. The receptionist, nurses and doctors are very friendly and loving to my pup. This is going to be our vet office going forward. Best referral I have ever received on a vet's office.
Billie Norris
It is with great honor that I write this review.My dog's name is Napoleon and he is 15 years and 10 months! He has been a client of Westside for his entire life and is still going pretty strong. The staff is highly professional - as you and your
"fury child"are always greeted and made to feel special. I have experienced excellent care for the 15 years that I have been a client. The Veterinarians are extremely talented, extraordinarily skilled, attentive to detail and on point with follow up. I would also like to thank Murray for always taking my intermittent frantic panic calls and calming my nerves! Dr. Napolitano, I thank you for your amazing care and concern for Napoleon over the years. I consider you the original 'dog whisperer/healer' with your acute diagnosis and excellent prescribed treatments.
Keep up the stellar work Westside! I would (and do) recommend Westside, without reservation, to all discerning owners who expect exceptional care and genuine concern for their pets.
Libby Chatham
Over the years, I have worked with several of the vets at Westside, and I have found all of them to be caring, responsive, and very professional. Most recently, Dr. Colby was especially caring and patient with my older, ornery cat. I would whole-heartedly recommend this vet clinic, they do an excellent job of caring for our fur babies (and us!)
Michelle Grand
I bring my cat to Dr. Brodsky. He has been practicing vet medicine for many years and is very knowledgeable. He always takes the time to listen to whatever worries or questions I may have and does a very thorough job examining my kitty. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with other vets, but never with Dr. Brodsky. I know he does everything possible to make sure my cat is and stays healthy.
The other staff members are also professional and nice.
Erica Ress Martin
I have trusted Dr. Brodsky and his team with my dogs since he first opened his practice. They’ve taken care of 7 of my pets and I have always felt the time and attention devoted to each patient is amazing. The staff is a friendly group of problem solvers who never let you down. The best Vet practice in Manhattan.
Theresa Caragine
West side Vet has cared for our dogs for over 20 years. They have helped us introduce new rescues into our family, cared for them and have been there for our family when it was time to say goodbye. Through the years, we have only had good experiences. Our favorite vet is Dr Napolitiano. She is kind, patient, thorough, and trustworthy.
anna korchek
Cannot say enough wonderful things about Westside doctors and staff. When I found a stray and needed immediate help, they squeezed us in right away. He hadn't been spayed and sprayed the pet carrier. When I came to pick him up after the procedure, they brought him out in a new carrier free of charge.
They are loving and thoughtful and really good at what they do. I've called at 3 in the morning when my cat was sick and someone was there to help. I've never experienced a vet practice that was so accessible.
Anne Reingold
The veterinarians at West Side Vet never steer me wrong when it comes to our two dogs and cat. They've taken such good care or our little ones and always follow with a phone call the next day to see how they're doing. The office is clean and friendly and I always feel like our pets will be treated with love and care.
Vivian Falto
It is a pleasure to provide an update to my 2018 review. Recently we had to help my cat Max to transition. Dr.J Napolitano supported me with all the delicate details of the decision. Her assistant, Daisy was specially caring towards Max during his transition. Ensuring we both went through the experience with dignity and compassion. One cannot go wrong by choosing #westsidevet as the health care provider for our fur babies!
Geoffrey McKinney
We have exclusively seen Dr. Cantor for several years now and she is absolutely wonderful taking care of our two dogs. Comprehensive, knowledgeable and pleasant. She takes great care in her work.
Stacy Donovan
Westside Veterinary Center is simply the BEST Vet Center in New York! Dr. Lewis is the most kind, caring and knowledgeable Vet I have ever worked with, and both of my animals love her and everyone else at the Center. I cannot say enough good things about them. Every single person, doctors, nurses and all of the staff are knowledgeable, caring and efficient. I will never go anywhere else.
Joan Glatman
Dr Bodkin has been wonderful with my elderly cat. We have spent the last 3 years trying to keep him doing well; he has serious lung/breathing issues. We communicate via email, with very fast responses from her. And when I go in for her to examine my cat, she explains everything, reviews the x-rays with me, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Bodkin.
For the love of Animals
Our first appointment was at a busy time so they were running a bit late. Our vet was extremely caring and attentive and gave us confidence about our recently adopted senior dog. Since there is a large staff, a little surprised at the wait. Also the woman that checked us out did not provide us with a detailed invoice and was a bit curt. Had to ask to have one, thus the 4 instead of 5 star rating
Zachary Farren
I adopted my little Pluto about a year ago and was taking him to another vet, but the experience there was less than stellar, not to mention far away. The staff at the other practice was short and rude, the doctor never gave more than 5 minutes to even get to know us, and after my last visit there, I decided I wanted to find a place closer to home and find a new vet.....
I looked around online and came across Westside Veterinary Center. From the first phone call everyone was super friendly and professional, and my experience over the past two visits has been great and couldn’t think of going anywhere else. As I travel frequently for work, and Pluto comes along with me at times, finding a USDA certified doctor was important, and we were matched with Dr. Melanie Friedman. Dr. Friedman is thorough and kind, and took an interest in me and my pet. I felt like I wasn’t just another patient among many. The front desk staff is great and is very helpful as well. So glad I found this place and hope to continue being a client for years to come!
Yumi Karina Tate
I recently moved to NYC. Unfortunately my doggie had a bit of a tooth emergency. I wasn't sure where to take her, so I did my research online and came across Westside Veterinary Center. I'm usually skeptical when I come across a place that has so many positive reviews online, but due to my dog's emergency I decided to give it a shot. I am so happy I did. I was truly impressed by the way they treated me and my Roxy. I didn't even have an appointment scheduled, they told me I could just drop in. I thought for sure I would have to wait at least an hour for a vet to see us-NOPE- the vet saw us right away. I use the word vet, but instead I should call her an Angel. Dr. Rutherford took such great care of Roxy. As soon as she saw her, she was able to diagnose her, and make her comfortable and without pain. Roxy ended up having oral surgery, and a few teeth extracted. Angel Rutherford was Roxy's surgeon and saw her every step of the way. Roxy is now perfectly fine, chewing on her little toys and being the happy little doggie she has always been. I truly recommend Westside Veterinary Center to anyone, this place is what all Veterinary Centers should be like. You can tell every employee here really care and love what they do!
P.S. the prices were very reasonable. Oral surgery on a dog can be quite pricey. I was expecting a big bill, but was relieved to find that everything was priced fairly.
Jim Frazee
I have 2 cat who have been going to the Westside Vet Center for eight years now, since they were kittens. The doctors and staff at the Vet Center have been nothing less than professional, yet show a great love and concern for my pets. I trust them with my two pets. Prior to these two cat I had 2 others who were also cared by by the staff. All my cats have been pure bred animals which I care for and trust to the staff at Westside without reservations. I highly recommend them for their knowledge and care for any pet put under their care.
Lara T
Our rescue terrier spent a few weeks under the care of Dr. Melanie Friedman. I could not imagine a better experience. Our dog adores his vet! He was treated with love, warmth, and attentive thoughtfulness. He almost didn't want to leave! When he returned to our home, he was stronger and healthier than ever, and even better mannered! Dr. Friedman was always available to offer updates and advice, and has a straightforward and calming approach to treatment and caregiving advice. I recommend this vet practice, and especially Dr. Friedman, very highly!!!
Keneil Buchanan
Went here with my new Hamster who got really sick. Dr. Cantor was caring enough to squeeze us into her schedule at the very end. She was kind and gentle, and the staff were all amazing and caring people. This is a great vet!
Leslie Rupert
Westsdie Vetrinary is wonderful. I've been a client for 20 years and a client of Dr Rosenthals for 25 years. They have treated both my dogs and cats, all of whom had very long healthy lives becasue of the advise and treatments I got here. I would never even consider anyone or anywhwere else.
Deanna Bennett
Every interaction we have had with this great team of vets and staff has just been amazing, and completely reduces the stress of bringing in a yowling cat for a check up or illness. I can't recommend it enough; every single person here has always been extremely kind, helpful, informative, understanding, and, most of all, really caring about every animal that passes through the doors. We come from a few neighborhoods away to have our pets treated here because they're simply the best.
carole wilbourn
I am so very pleased with the welcome my 02--Orion 2 and I receive when he has his vet visits. I truly believe that Dr. Napolitano and entire staff--24x7 love my Orion 2 almost, almost, as much as I do. It clearly shows in their treatment.
Sincerely,
Carole Wilbourn
Deni Silbert
Dr Rutherford and Dr Cantor and Dr. Kosovsky are all wonderful ❣. The staff at the desk are 99% of the time very friendly and caring. I am usually seen within 10 minutes of arrival or sooner. All three Dr.'s take their time and I never feel rushed. My little teacup poodle pup has received wonderful care. She recently got spayed and had a baby tooth pulled and it all went very well. They even had her sleep with her favorite toy since she had to stay overnight. I recommend the three Vets I mentioned above. I don't know about any of the other Dr.'s there
Carl James Grindley
Selecting a vet is very difficult in this city, but Westside is an excellent choice. Pleasant and responsive staff who genuinely care about your pets, and vets who seem thoroughly engaged and committed to their vocation. A quality vet is expensive, so be aware that serious and competent care comes at a premium. My experience with my new little pal--a random stray who adopted me was first rate. He had an emergency visit to see if he was chipped and in good health, and then a longer visit to be chipped, vaccinated and neutered. The level of care Eliot received was second-to-none and the office's followups were reassuring. Westside will be Eliot's forever vets.
Frank Fellone III
I had my first experience with Westside Vets yesterday, and it was a great one. The level of genuine interest in my pets well-being, the professionalism at the front and back offices/rooms and cleanliness was top notch. It was a comforting experience and we will definitely be using Westside Vets for the years to come.
Highly Recommend!!
Susie Stulz
We've been going to Westside Veterinary Center since 1995, when we got our first cat, Mouser. We took our dog, Finbar, there for 15 years, and Dr. Bodkin did an amazing job treating his cancer! He lived far longer than expected, and a very high quality of life as well.
Lately we've been seeing Dr. Kim, who is amazing. We have a cat, Georgianna, and a dog, Auguste, who get GREAT treatment there. Even though we've moved, we still travel to Westside rather than find a vet closer to our homes because they're just so great.
Barbara Marcus
My husband and I have had dogs for many years and over the course of those years have lived in several places and had several veterinarians. Westside Veterinary Center is by far the best experience we have ever had. The staff could not be kinder or more caring. The doctors are so knowledgeable and so effective in treating our dog. It is truly truly a wonderful place to bring a pet.
Melissa Weiss
Westside Veterinary Center is the absolute best. I have brought three generations of dogs there and they've always been incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. One of my late dogs was attacked and nearly killed. Dr. Cantor and the amazing team at Westside -- including several other wonderful vets, a surgeon, nurses, technicians, and the administrative staff -- took care of her as if she were their own. They literally saved her life, and she loved to come back afterward and visit her friends. Dr. Cantor and co. were also with her and my husband and me when it was time to say goodbye several years later and were as heartbroken as I was. I can't recommend Westside highly enough. Your pets will get great care seven days a week, including evening office hours, and even after hours with an on-call vet -- and you'll feel taken care of, too.
Nadia Talel
I absolutely love Westside Veterinary Center. Everyone who works there is knowledgeable, dedicated, caring, and friendly. We have always trusted them with our pets throughout the years, and they have never let us down. They also offer 24 hour emergency services, so you can call them anytime, and don't need to use a separate specialist, hospital, or have multiple offices on call depending on what problem arises and when it arises. Everything you could possibly need for your pet, no matter what time of day or night, Westside Veterinary Center provides the service. I definitely recommend Westside Veterinary Center for all your animal family members!
Bonnie Bank-Rosenberg
Twice now during the pandemic I have needed to take my cat to the vet - once for a dental problem and once because she just seemed to not feel well. Both times my experience was fantastic - the very professional doctors took wonderful care of my precious girl and spent a lot of time on the phone with me, carefully explaining everything and putting my mind at ease.
Marilyn Povodator
For 16 years, Dr. Kim Rosenthal has been caring for my chocolate cocker spaniels. She is an excellent diagnostician, patient and so loving to all the animals I have seen her with. And especially noteworthy, she doesn’t order tests unless absolutely necessary. The nurses and front office (especially Tina and Gina) are all so professional and helpful. I live on the east side and happily come crosstown for the overall excellent care I receive at Westside Vet!
daniel brodmerkel
Very kind and caring veterinary office. My pup gets excellent treatment. Dr. Jones and the entire staff are great. Thank you WVC!
Christine G
I discovered Westside when I was looking for an acupuncturist in NYC for my pup. Dr. Yim is one of the accredited vet acupuncturists through the most rigorous accreditation for the field is how I found them.
I use Dr. Yim for acupuncture and am very happy with Dr. Colby for the check ups and ill visits. Dr. Colby graduated from one of the best vet schools in the nation, I feel very comfortable with folks who graduated from that school. Both have excellent expertise and take great care. I wouldn't go to anyone else.
Both of my dogs underwent dental procedures with them earlier this year and I was quite happy with the process and their care.
As an added bonus the front desk team has become a lot more responsive to emailing scanned documents this year :)
I would not hesitate to recommend as your go to vet practice and the bonus of them being a hospital means they are there in case of an emergency.

Been going here for about 7+ years. I like a couple of the vets and they work with me on the care of my cats; they are Dr. Lewis and Dr. Rutherford. They are good!!! And a few of the nurse are good. BUT they have gotten very pricy in the past year or so. I was charged $1700 for my cat to stay overnight with a GI tract issue. Really? Some of the pet owners who bring their pets there have drivers, maids etc. I don't. Even with the senior discount it's become out of my price range. I may have to look elsewhere. If you have money and don't mind waiting a long time to speak with someone on the phone, by all means go there.

My wife and I have been using West Side Vet for almost 20 years now for our dogs. The front desk staff is great (thank you Ruben and crew) and the veterinary staff is knowledgeable and compassionate - especially Dr. Jaime Napolitano who has been our primary vet for our dogs for many years. She makes going to see the vet an enjoyable experience for pet and pet owner alike!
Diana Ventimiglia
I love Westside Veterinary! Dr. Rutherford is incredibly kind, smart, and accommodating. She checks in on my cat, and she's always willing to work with me to figure out what's best economically, too. I've always been able to get an appointment, too, which has been hard in my experience at other offices.
Jackie Kellso
Dr. Kim Rosenthal is an amazing vet and has taken care of my cat since I first adopted her 15 years ago. Now approaching 17, she continues to be in the most capable hands, especially as she has age-related health issues.
Dr. Rosenthal treats my cat as if it was her own and I'm grateful to have her as my vet. And, it's important to know that everyone at Westside Veterinary Center is helpful and responsive and genuinely cares! From the doctors, receptionists and vet techs, they create a warm and great experience for all pet owners.
Rachel Gonzalez
Dr. Rutherford is a supreme vet! She has been caring for my elder cat since before her dx with Cancer. After her mastectomy, she is still going strong. I am never disappointed by the staff or Dr. Rutherford. Her kindness, patience and manner is simply beyond compassionate. Love her and would recommend her very highly! Thank you Westside !
Marc Liepis
We have had two of our dogs in the care of Westside and cannot speak higher of them. From our regular vet to any of the support staff and other doctors and nurses, we have never received anything but the best care and completely personable service no matter when the appointment or whatever the need. Highly recommended.
Lisa Slade
We've used the Westside Veterinary clinic for over 20 years. When our dogs were sick, it is the only place to go! The vets are excellent, and you can have a favorite vet like we do. Jaime Napolitano is smart,kind, and fully capable of caring for a sick animal like our Golden retriever was. The Hospital is run very well and whomever is taking care of your pet, while in the hospital, the vet is in touch with you. You can't get better service from vet techs,vets, and office staff!

Every time I have visited the Westside Veterinary Center I have been amazed and comforted by the attention and care shown. Sadly two of my cats needed to be euthanized and the staff was incredibly supportive. These folks are the best in their field. Dr. Kim Rosenthal is brilliant. I recommend her and this place wholeheartedly!
Margaret Shelly
I've used Westside for all my pets for the past thirty years. Although I generally use one vet there in particular, I've seen others in an emergency and every one of them has been super, not only caring for my pet in the office, but by following up with calls days later to see how she's doing. The staff is friendly and helpful, the hours are generous, and the care is outstanding. They also offer boarding services which has come in handy when I've had to go away at the last minute.

Dr. Rosenthal is my primary vet but they are all great. Dr. Rosenthal came highly recommended from a long-time pet owner in my building. She has taken wonderful care of my rescue, Annie, and when I was concerned about Annie during Dr. R's vacation - she called me directly. She is the best vet possible - I wish my doctors were so committed to her patients.

West Side Vet Center Is truly an extraordinary place. They are entirely trustworthy compassionate and accommodating. I cannot express enough how much they have helped my family and my pet. I usually don’t do reviews but my pets are my life and I want to spread the word about how good this place really is. Their prices are always good and I got quoted the same price originally from the ASPCA for sub par service. I’ve been taking my dogs there for about ten years and will never go anywhere else. The only thing I can honestly say is a bit disheartening is that recently they have hired a new receptionist. I’m sure without naming her, most will know exactly who I’m referring to.She is outwardly miserable, condescending and honestly rude. Upon walking in, I was greeted with an eyeroll and was cut off mid sentence to her quick, sharp interruption. I feel everyone’s entitled to a bad day but I have visited two occasions after and she seems more brazen with attitude when dealing with people. I tend to stay away and wait for another receptionist. Theres usually two or so. If you do go, Please, don’t let her discourage you from staying. Everyone else there is amazing and its the BEST care for your pet.
Debby Afraimi
LOVE Westside Vet! One of my cats is a HOT MESS. He has neurological issues and issues with allergies so I've had to assemble a dream team of specialists all over NYC to care for his various needs. I've been to four different veterinary practices in the past 3 months (because Westside doesn't have the MRI and other equipment to diagnose the neurological issues) and Westside is by far the best. Doctor Rutherford is amazing, and my cats love her. I live in Harlem and even though there are veterinarians closer to me, I shlep my cats to Westside for their care. I really can't recommend them enough.
Dominic Carrozza
We the proud owners of two cats (and one kid). The people at West Side Veterinary Center are so nice, caring and accommodating that the visit to the vet is actually a pleasure. Cat people should not be concerned that they also cater to dogs, they do a great job with cats too!
Tiara Winter-Schorr
I brought my elderly cat to this vet hospital for the first time in 2015. She has been cared for by three different doctors and they are all stellar. The care is thorough and the cost is reasonable. They fought to help my cat recover and are seeing her thru a serious infection. I couldn’t be happier with the care and compassion.
John Allen
The Westside Vet Center and our wonderful Dr. Bodkin have provided us with exceptional care during the lives of our first and now second Yorkshire Terriers. The service has been exceptional in terms of professionalism, a caring attitude and very efficient and courteous administration. We are very fortunate to have been provided with such great care for over 10 years. THANK YOU.
Tami mattison
I was very apprehensive about bringing my cat, William in. While I was away he scratched his eye and he looked miserable. I was able to get a same day appointment with Dr. Colby. I could not be more impressed or pleased with her professionalism and compassioante care. She obviously loves cats and was kind and gentle to my grumpy Persian. I left feeling better and William did too. Two days later I received a follow up call from her asking about William and his eye. I cannot say enough about the quality of care he received and her support staff. We will be back!
Stephen Field
Dr. Kim Rosenthal is one of the most compassionate and professional people I have ever met in my life. All of the staff I have met at Westside Veterinary have been kind and concerned. I recently lost my beloved cat Buster to heart disease and because of the way Kim informed me and prepared me it made the most difficult decision of my life so far much easier. I have dealt with other vets at this clinic and they are all excellent, but because of who Kim is as a human being I would never consider taking a pet to anyone else.
J Soll
Kim Rosenthal is an amazing vet who has cared for my mother's cats over 20+ years and just saved my cat's life after a severe urinary obstruction. Everyone on the staff is extremely kind and helpful. It is easy to see that it is a place where animals are truly loved. Do your pet a favor and take them here!
Howard Waxman
Dr. Rosenthal, my vet at the Westside Veterinary Center, is always available. Her insights have always been correct and useful with both of my dogs for over 15 years. Additionally, her warmth and support in times of need is invaluable. I couldn't recommend Westside Veterinary Center more highly.
ruth boody
Top notch care from all the Vets & nurses. They cover every specialty. Appointments easy to make. Have been taking my German Shepherd here for 5 years. Warm welcoming place, receptionists always helpful. They are a bit expensive but this is NYC & the care is excellent.
Barbara Rockmore
The best! I've had 5 dogs over the years and have gone to Westside Veterinary Center since they opened shortly after I got my first two dogs together. Have never been disappointed, have always gotten the best care, even in an emergency. They have a 24 hour hospital where you can call 24/7 and speak with a technician to see how your pet is doing if it is hospitalized. If you have an emergency in the middle of the night and have a question you will get someone on the phone. Dr. Kim Rosenthal has been the veterinarian that my dogs have been seeing for years and she has literally saved several of them through life threatening crises. She has gone out of her way over and above to help me (and them) deal with the situation and did a great job calming me down and reassuring me. I have seen several of the other veterinarians there over the years when Dr. Rosenthal was away or as an emergency over the weekend and they have all been terrific. Saw Dr. Lauren this past Sunday night with one of my dogs who was having a back emergency and in pain. She fixed her right up, took care of her pain so she slept through the night until we could see Dr. Rosenthal on Monday. The staff is also awesome! I highly recommend Westside Veterinary Center without question.
Marian van Noppen
Our (currently) 7month old pup Stella has been seeing Dr. Jones since she was 8 weeks old and she LOVES her and WVC!!! Everyone at WVC has been fantastic and we feel our girl is in the best care when she’s here. When she realizes she’s on the street of the vet’s office, she gets very excited and runs to the door. We’ve also had visits with Dr. Freeman and Dr. Canter and both were fabulous, too. The best bedside manner and timely and caring and SO knowledgeable. Thank you Westside Vet!!!
Katrina G
Dr. Lewis is a very good doctor. She is nurturing and caring . She knows how to calm my Caramel down when she is nervous or scared. This place is professional and takes priorities towards their patients. There are other Vets close to my house, but none of them are like Westside Veterinary Center. Thank you Westside Veterinarian.
Anastasia Sylwia Vogelgesang
Great experience. Dr Rutherford is our vet and she is amazing! Our pups love her! ❤️
Kelli Battle
Great place, even when I lost a pet. Very supportive and comforting. So much so, that I came back with my next pet. Love Dr. Brodsky! Very knowledgeable and gives me the honest truth. Never tries to get me to spend more than I need to, which makes me trust and value him. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I always recommend Westside any time someone is looking for a vet.
Scottow King
Dr. Bodkin provided very useful and practical (and cost effective) treatment to our miniature dachshund, who had been suffering form diarrhea for some time and was mildly dehydrated. She suggested that he get intravenous fluids and spend the afternoon at the clinic facilities. He did do and was back to his normal self promptly. This was our first trip but we have no hesitation recommending the services. All of the staff were humane and friendly.
Barbara Cooper I remember you
Each of the doctors at West Side Vet is very caring and responsive, no matter who you see for your pet. I've probably seen them all over the years. No complaints with the staff either. Very nice place. And no one wants their pets cared for in the most careful, caring way, than me.
Serina Ipaintpain
These workers and doctors are very kind. And genuinely care for your pets like they were children. I love how they follow up with any previous visits. This place deserves the 5 star and better. Reviews. Thank you west side veterinary. Thank you for taking care of my lil guy here. Buddy (smile)
DEBORAH DAVID
I have been taking my dog to Westside Veterinary Center for over 15 years, and in all that time I have been impressed with the excellent care and attitude of the doctors, the veterinary technicians/nurses, and the support staff.
Early on, my dog mainly needed routine exams and care, but at this point, she is over 17 years old with multiple problems. Dr. Cantor is her main vet and has been an excellent diagnostician and a concerned and caring presence in our lives. My dog also sees Dr. Yim for acupuncture, which has helped her arthritis immeasurably--and this is clearly not a placebo effect. Because other issues occur on weekends when neither of these two vets are at the clinic, both Dr. Chiverton and Dr. Lewis have also provided excellent care.
Are they expensive? Yes. But veterinary medicine has advanced immeasurably in the last several decades, with more ailments being treated and more procedures being undertaken. Medical care, human or animal, costs money. And while veterinary care may be less expensive in other geographic areas, so are other products and services.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the level of care and caring Dr. Cantor and everyone else at Westside Veterinary Center have provided. I could not ask for a better group of professionals.
Alisa B
Westside Veterinary Center is great! My 15 year old border collie had cancer and Dr. Chiverton was the kindest, most informative, caring vet I have met (and I have seen a lot). I cannot say enough about her. She took her time talking to me, reviewing records and I never felt rushed. She calmly answered my questions and concerns. My dog lived longer than expected and passed peacefully. I highly recommend Dr. Chiverton and Westside Vet Center, you will not be sorry!
We now have a rescue cat and are back with Dr. Chiverton. I will never use another vet.
Alexis T
The vets, techs, and support staff are nothing short of amazing! Bringing our kitty in as a first time emergency patient was incredibly stressful and scary, but we immediately knew he was in good hands just after our first exchange at the reception desk.
We had the pleasure of interacting with 4 different vets over the course of 8 days (we popped in to visit often and whoever was on duty would come in and chat with us), and they all showed genuine concern for our boy and great understanding of what was going on. The whole process was very intimate which really helped a pair of frantic parents.
From initial checkup, to testing, diagnosing, and lastly supportive treatment, our boy definitely received the best treatment a cat can get. From sitting in the waiting room a bunch, I could see that they have a lot of long time patients and everyone seemed to be on a first name basis and the animals were all happy (for the most part) to be visiting.
If you're in need of excellent pet care, look no further!
Linda Rothenberger
I have used Westside Vets for many years with my last two dogs.
I have been very pleased with attention each of my dogs have received
and the attention that I receive when reporting on something that may
bother me about them during the visit or a phone call. I trust my vet
implicitly as nothing is as important to me as the health and well being
of my dogs.
Timberlake Studios
I LOVE WESTSIDE! I have been taking my cats there for at least 15 years and always receive prompt and thorough service. My favorite vet is Dr Bodkin, but everyone works together there, from the front desk staff to the nurse techs and hospital staff. All issues are taken into consideration: pet health, budget and owners' spiritual health (regarding their pets) too!
Jade Freely
I live in Bedstuy but I travelled all the way to this vet because it was recommended by two friends who I know care deeply for their companion animals. I was also looking for a good vet that I didn't feel like was ripping me off, which is so hard to find...
Unfortunately, the diagnosis is of my cat was terminal cancer and the tumor is inoperable. The surgeon was honest and I appreciated that she told me that operating would be extremely harmful and that the tumor would very likely come back, due to the location. Especially since the previous vet (that I didn't like) was eager to operate and potentially harm my cat and take thousands of my dollars. My vet (Dr. Lewis) seemed to actually care and suggested alternative medicines for my cat. They won't heal her but they can make her comfortable in my final months with her.
I will be sure to take my other cats here if we ever have any issues and I highly recommend this vet office, esp Dr. Lewis.
Joan Stonich
My two cats have been patients for 17 years, ever since I adopted them from the clinic (they used to do adoptions). I have had several vets over the years and have always been satisfied. My current vet, Dr. Jamie Napolitano, has been especially sensitive to my old kitties - 16 and 17 yrs. Always time to listen to my concerns and ready with information, esp. regarding elderly cats.
Sweet Domicile
The staff here take such good care of us, more importantly our aging pup, each time we visit. Whether he has an upset stomach or he’s thrown his neck out, they are so thorough to determine what’s happening and do it with such care. He recently had to stay over night and it was so hard on us but we knew he was in great hands. The front desk always accommodates us with ease for emergency visits! We used to live a few blocks away but moved further north so we’ve debated finding a vet closer but just can’t go anywhere else. We trust them too much!
Darwin
We love Dr. Chiverton, Dr. Rosenthal, & the whole Westside Vet team! They are kind, caring, & very very professional. Their hours are fantastic for working people (evening & weekends) plus the front desk staff are NICE. Most medical offices can't pull that off, but Westside has it down. While no NYC vet is cheap, Westside keeps costs down by not recommending unnecessary tests or procedures. Our older rescue mutt is thriving thanks to their care & we heartily recommend Westside to any pet mom or dad!
Bjorn Thorsen
Absolutely fabulous front desk staff and clinicians! We noticed our poor little do was bleeding from her rear and called them very late on a rainy night, thinking there was no way they would see us. However, they were very accommodating on the phone and said we could walk-in asap. As soon as we got there, we were greeted by kind staff and a well-lit, clean, modern office. Then, we had the pleasure of working with Dr. Tamika Lewis, who provided a wonderful experience. She was kind with our dog, who is normally a little skittish around the vet, and was able to relieve her of her pain and give us great instructions to help her heal. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Lewis and the experience in general here. HIGHLY recommend them, as we will be going there for her regular visits from now on.
peter schwartz
The best vets in NYC. They are loving, knowledgeable and go the extra mile to give your pet the best care possible. My dog was facing a major operation and Westside Vet managed to bring him back to health without surgery. Still, the best is the way they treat the pets. Like I would!

キース又二郎Yuko
I brought my cat there just one occasion because the waiting line for dermatologist at AMC was too long (a few months ahead). I was thrilled by the dedication, professionalism, and thoughtfulness of the doctors. My doctor took time (so did he for the patient before me and that caused almost one hour delay for my scheduled appointment time) for my cat, examining him carefully and explaining to and educating me thoroughly to help me understand the condition. I would definitely recommend Westside Veterinary Center!!!
Jacqueline Wentworth
Went there for the first time a few weeks ago, the front desk staff was very helpful and when I called they recommended a Vet based on my dogs needs. I saw Dr. Brodsky and was very happy with him. He took time with us and set up a plan to help my pup with his skin problems, would definitely recommend!
Siddharth Dube
Dr Rosenthal is the most caring and skilled vet that I’ve ever known; she’s cared for both my Portuguese water dogs. Can’t thank and praise her highly enough.
Matthew David Hopkins
These pros are SOOO fantastic. They treat us with care and they pay attention. My English Bulldog is in fantastic health - in no small part due to Westside Veterinary Center. We went through a few different vets before we found Dr. Brodsky and his amazing staff...the others were nowhere near the level this team is. THANK YOU Dr. B and team - for taking such good care of our family member, Dexter.
Isa Gutierrez
I moved to NYC recently with my rescue puppy, and was so happy to find the Westside Vet Center. The vets give my dog A+ care and the nurses have guided and reassured me on the phone when issues arise. Would definitely recommend!
Minerva Velez
Excellent care is what the Doctors and staff provided for my 19 year old cat and his family. When the time came to let our four legged kid crossover, Dr.Chiverton and staff were so supportive and compassionate, it was like being with family.Trust is what comes to mind when I think of the Westside Veterinary Center, and that's not easy to come by.
Richard Vida
I have been with Dr. Napolitano at Westside Veterinary Center for 20 years and the care and expertise shown to my pets has always been superlative. My cats of 18 years were treated wonderfully and in the end stages of their lives made comfortable and when it came down to saying goodbye, we were treated with dignity and could have all the time in the world as we said goodbye. Our dog was viciously attacked and required very serious surgeries and Dr. Kosovsky proved to be exceptional and explained everything fully prior to any procedure. Our dog today is just fine and loves life. Also, a true sign to me, our dog runs into the office, even after all of her surgeries and trauma without any hesitation. The staff is always pleasant and I can't express enough how grateful I am for Westide Vetrinary Center. My experiece has always been positive.
Nina Jaroslaw
The knowledge, patience and generosity of the doctors, nurse and staff at Westside Veterinary are unsurpassed. Regardless of the severity or complications of the visit (I have both a cat and a dog) we are always met with kindness, and our concerns handled responsibly and ably. I have seen this office contend with highly stressful and difficult situations with focus, grace and quick intelligence. Wonderful.
Tom Dempsey
We can't say enough good things about Westside Veterinary Center. Our vet, Dr. Kim Rosenthal is just the best. And on the rare occasion when we have had an emergency and had to interact with another vet on staff, they too were top notch. They provided great care and made sure Dr. Rosenthal was fully aware of everything that was happening. From the front desk staff to the entire staff of Veterinarians, Westside Veterinary Center is a place you can count on for great care for your pet. We have dealt with them in good times and sad times. Their consistent level of care and compassion is unparalleled. We highly recommend them.
Gayla Morgan
Westside Vet is full of staff who really care about not only my precious Yorkiepoo but about me, too. Their compassion for my worries about her health always surprises - and supports - me. And she loves them, too. There's so much experience in this practice that I feel completely confident about her care in their hands. And the reception staff is not only friendly...but funny. :-) Thank you for taking care of my puppy, and me.
Jo C
Only went here once but the staff was very nice, welcoming and gracious. I didn't actually see the doctor, just picked up some meds sent from my previous vet. They were very helpful. I saw them patiently take the dogs out to go do their business. However, the PRICES!
Initial visit - $90
Recurrent visits - $85
All vaccinations - $40+
So imagine you go in for your annual visit of approximately 5 vaccinations and office visit cost will set you back about $300. Then again, it is the Upper West Side of Manhattan but goodness, the PRICES!
leslie concannon
Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming. The vets are down to earth. They communicate clearly. I always feel like my dog has been well taken care of. And they do not make your problems bigger. I get in and out without lengthy wait time and they do take the time that is needed. no rushing.
Susan Baker
I have gone to Westside over the course of three dogs’ long and happy lives. Although Stuart Brodsky is my go-to, any of the vets I’ve seen there have exhibited the same operative ethic of caring, patience and thoughtful treatment.
Procedures are explained, choices given, and follow up calls by the veterinarian are what I’ve experienced through the years, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for the medical care of my dog.
Virginia Klein
The Westside Veterinary Center has been my twin Cocker Spaniel's Vets since they were 7 weeks old. They are now 11 yrs. old. The care we have received there has been nothing less then excellent! Everyone who works their we have found to be knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful. We would like to especially recognize Dr. Jamie Napolitano for her expertise as a surgeon and general Veterinarian. She has been so kind, reassuring and given our " Lola" and "JJ" superb care!!
I highly recommend the Westside Veterinary Center!
It was a pleasure to write this review.
Virginia and Jens Klein-Birktoft
Alison Ebers
Everyone at Westside Veterinary Center are fantastic! We just started taking our puppy to them and they've been so helpful in walking us through the process of getting our dog up to date on all her shots and when we brought her in for an emergency visit, they fit us in within an hour and even followed up the next day (which was a Sunday) to make sure our dog was feeling better. Would highly recommend them!
Bruce MacEwen
We've had two mini dachshunds over the course of 25 years and both were lifelong "clients" of Westside Vet. Not only are they true pro's at what they do, they are more caring and compassionate than 95% of the doctors and nurses taking care of human beings! My wife and I cannot recommend them more highly.
When we get dog #3 we will again be trusting his/her health and wellbeing to Westside Vet. Look no further.
Farrah Berse
Westside vet is amazing! Dr. Lauren was fantastic, and we are really going to miss her when she moves. But we have also had great experiences with Drs. Friedman, Colby, Rutherford, Lewis and Yim. We recommend them all!
Michael Vallejos
I was attended by Dr. Lewis who was awesome and a pleasure to work with. Dr. Lewis, along with the rest of the staff are professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Also, their prices are reasonable and I did not feel like I was forced to do extra unnecessary diagnostics or tests. I’m glad I found a reliable vet nearby for my dog Kito so close to home!
Elizabeth Kinetz
I started going to Westside Veterinary when one of my dogs was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and needed more specialized care. We saw a lot of them and Dr. Colby was very patient and answered all my numerous questions. She's been very good with both dogs, who hate being at the vet. I definitely recommend them.
Jane Marquet
It was hard to find a vet in New York who cares for house rabbits. Westside Veterinary Center saw my Bunny when we lived in NYC and they were terrific! Everyone was professional and caring, and they made a fuss over how special my girl was. I really felt like we were important to them, and like they truly cared about my Bunny's health and well-being. I would highly recommend Westside Veterinary Center!!
Albert Khoury
I've never written a review. Hell, I don't even like reading reviews. But Westside Veterinary Center came through for one of my two cats when he was so ill that I felt like I was living with a stranger cat. He wasn't eating or drinking or using the litterbox, and he was constantly in hiding.
Having not taken the cats out of the apartment in some time, I didn't know how to get him into the now too-small carrying case. But (Gail?) the receptionist, who was one of the sweetest human beings I've ever encountered, talked me through it on the phone with the patience of a hostage crisis negotiator.
Dr. Lauren took care my cat, giving him a thorough examination and giving me a couple of treatment options. I chose to let him spend the night, during which his symptoms were treated. Dr. Lauren called me that evening as well as the next morning and afternoon to give me status updates. I picked up a cat that was almost completely back to his old self, and by the next day it was like nothing had been wrong at all.
Dr. Lauren called again a couple of days later to follow up and make sure I was following her instructions. She gave me tips on how to deal with the other cat's refusal to accept his brother back into the household - there was hissing. It's all good now.
As I write this, my two cats are snuggled on top of each other in their favorite spot.
Everything about my first experience with this vet center was more than I expected. Thank you, Dr. Lauren and everyone else who helped!
Wilfredo Valencia
Diesel's visit with dr. Colby was great. Dr. Colby was very helpful and helped diagnosed and treat Diesel's issues during our visit very quickly. Given that visits to any vet in NYC aren't cheap, i always appreciate it when vets are at least concerned and show genuine concern for the welfare of the animal.
Diane Wondisford
Really appreciate the warm and gracious welcome we humans AND our attractive cats get each and every time we are at WVeterinary Center.
The care is first-rate and the communication among the staff and w/us about our animal(s) condition(s) is clear, complete, and compassionate.
Can’t recommend these folks highly enough!
Susan Hoffman
Westside Veterinary Center is wonderful. The entire staff is very professional and so kind and compassionate. Our veterinarian, Dr. Rosenthal, is extremely knowledgable, always responsive to our needs and truly cares about both her patients and their owners. I give the highest recommendation to Westside Vet.
Kathy Crawford
Simply awesome, my dog Josie could not be in better hands. I've brought her to WSV for a number of reasons -- a sudden swollen paw, a pink eye episode out of the blue as well as her annual physicals. Doesn't matter if I make last minute or scheduled appts, the the front desk is always pleasant and efficient in getting me in/out the door. Convenient hours has meant no rushing to/from work to make appointments. Such a relief.
The med staff doesn't miss a beat either. Courteous, caring, professional, never suggesting treatment before its time which I so appreciate. And the follow up -- the best. Always 1-2 phone calls to make sure all's well. Since I generally worry about my dog's health more than mine, this means so much.
Thank you, Westside Veterinary Center!!
Philip Manin
We love the Westside Veterinary Center. In particular, Dr. Napolitano is an amazing and compassionate vet who understands that our pets are as important to us as children are to parents. The office staff is friendly and well organized. We highly recommend them. ~ Philip & David
M Krugman
Dr Rosenthal is a godsend! She truly cares for her patients and also their families. Aside from feeling confident in her expertise and skills, we truly appreciate the time she takes to answer questions and provide explanations to worried parents. She always follows up and makes herself available, which demonstrates her genuine compassion and care. A special call out for Gina at the front desk for her kind and compassionate support also! We wouldn't trust our furry boy with anyone else!
Adrienne Freeman
I find that the team at Westside Veterinary center exemplary !!! The care they have given my dog for the past 8 years was superb. In particular I have such a warm spot for the Reception crew and Jaime Napolitano who was such a source of comfort and strength to me when my beloved pet took ill and had to be put down. !!! I simply can not say enough about her.
Amy Cummings
We have used Westside Vet for years and years. The staff is consistently friendly, compassionate and helpful. I have frequently required same day appointments, and they are always able to accommodate our furry family. We love Westside Vet!
Nina Pajak
I went to this practice for years, mostly seeing Dr. Napolitano. She is an amazing vet and took wonderful care of my dogs! She figured out how to treat my ailing cocker spaniel when no other vet could, she never pressured me into costly and unnecessary procedures, and she managed to give my dog another three comfortable years of life. Highly recommend!
Paula Cohen
Thirty plus years, 2 beloved cats who lived to 15 & 16 and currently an almost 20 year old dog given the finest of care and attention. Whether it’s 2 am or 2 pm they are there for you. Dr. Cantor is a rock star Vet as are her colleagues. Great staff - Double those 5 stars to 10! With great appreciation for wonderful attention and care.
Ida Kowit
Just the best - my cats have been treated by Dr. Cantor for a number of years; her love of kitties and all animals is evident. Very good at diagnosing and prescribing - couldn't ask for a better vet. The staff is also amazing - Murray, Crystal, everyone on the front desk always on their game!
Sean A Rhael
My dog Gigi has been a patient at West Side Veterinarian for eight years. This is the most wonderful place, with the very best doctors and an amazing staff. Dr. Yim is an outstanding veterinarian, we love her and love this practice!
Sue Sinclair
Dr. Yim is wonderful. Our dog loves to visit her. We've been going to see her for about 12 years. Our dog has been through any number of ailments - broken toe nails, benign cysts (even on the eyelid), hotspots and now arthritis. Each time she's explained the situation very well, the treatments were practical, and has given us enough information/supplies to take care of him at home.

During a Covid rule visit, service for my Golden Retriever was seamless! Dr Rosenthal is the most professional, responsible vet and nothing changed during this visit! Piper and I love Westside Veterinary Center
Ilene Smith
Dr. Rosenthal is a gem. She is very thorough and very knowledgeable and always works to give my dog the best care possible. But, more importantly, she makes him feel so comfortable. She really shows her love for animals.
Kari Kaplan
I have been a client of WSV for twenty five years. I can say without question WSV is top notch! They have taken care of four of my dogs their entire lives. It is a comfort to know that there are doctors that are qualified and dedicated in a facility that is open 24 hours . It’s hard to believe, but there are very few facilities in Manhattan that are open 24 hours. Unfortunately, there have been circumstances over the years where emergencies have occurred with my dogs. If I had to have gone to another 24 hour facility I do not think they would have made it and all so would not have received the immediate attention which saved their lives. Having state of the art equipment and a dedicated staff that will go the extra mile could make the difference or life or death. There is no doctor that I have seen as dedicated as Dr. Karen Cantor. I have known Dr. Cantor since she started working at Westside twenty years ago. I have the utmost respect as a professional. She is not only dedicated & through but has an amazing bedside manner. Dr. Cantor has always followed up after any incident and contacted me directly on all lab results for even routine checkups. If you love your pets like I do, Westside Vet without question is where you want them cared for.

Dr. Kim Rosenthal, the vets and staff at Westside Vet Center are AMAZING! She has kept my black labrador 13 years young! They truly care for "their" pets and the families that come with them. I would never trust the care of my baby to anyone else!
Lizzie Edelstein
We’ve been using Westside Vet for our dogs for the past 10 years. We’ve seen many of the doctors and everyone has been wonderful, including the techs and front desk. They are a full service shop with convenient hours, highly recommend!
Lisa E Davis
Westside Veterinary Center has a heart. They genuinely care for the animals who come to them for help. We are so grateful for our Doctor Karen Cantor, who combines expertise and warmth every time our cockatoo visits. Thank you, Dr. Cantor and all the Westside staff!

Today, my wife's and my 12 year old, diabetic mini-schnauzer Mr. Higgins had a terrible day, after a wonky weekend. His urinating had increased, as had his hunger, and today he started vomiting. We did not have an appointment. It was 4:15pm on Tuesday. I called Westside Vet and asked for his doctor, Dr. Kim Rosenthal. She was finished for the day and was leaving. I asked the receptionist to let her know that her know that it was Higgins-I thought she would want to know., as she is his doctor (she saved him 2 years go. He wouldn't be here without her-he was 10 then). Long story short-she stayed. She waited for me to bring him, and then stayed with him as he was tested. She spoke to me during and after. She didn't leave until 5:45pm. This kind of commitment, is rare to find. I am a teacher, so bills can be daunting. This said, Dr. Rosenthal will love your baby like no other.
Liam O'Neil
I wish westside saw people!! From the moment you walk in, you know you are among caring, competent professionals. Everyone seems to be happy to wrk there and really loves animals. Facilities or clean pleasant and mother. The doctors are highly qualified and compassionate. And the technicians are both keep cool and pleasant. Their hours are extremely client friendly. The location is extremely convenient. And you know you’re in the right place. If they saw him at I would love my general practice care to them.
Maria Woods
Dr. Napolitano is an excellent vet! Our mini cavapoo has been going to Westside Vet Center for several years and we've had nothing but great service. Additionally, everyone I've met at Westside Vet Center has been kind, friendly and helpful. Our dog has received excellent care which is what keeps us coming back!
Robert Danzig
We loved the treatment and care that our dachshund got
from Dr. Cantor and the group at West Side Veterinary!
Many thanks.
Madeline Gleich
My second contact with Westside turned out to be an emergency in that my dog, Ellie, could not stop vomiting or even hold water down. I called reception and immediately was put in touch with a nurse who asked more questions about the dog; she already had the chart in front of her. The nurse advised that I bring Ellie in and explained her thinking as to why the dog needed to be seen. An appointment was arranged with Dr Rutherford who was available at a time I could manage. When I arrived the nurse I'd spoken to came out and introduced herself. Everyone was friendly and caring.
Dr Rutherford was on time and very gentle with Ellie, who was both weak and frightened.. After an examination it was recommended that Ellie stay overnight to be monitored and to receive IV fluids because she was severely dehydrated with some fever. I phoned the next morning and was told Ellie could come home and they would tell me how to handle her still weakened condition. I saw Dr Rutherford again when I came to pick Ellie up and she reiterated the instructions. It was clear to me that although delighted to see me, Ellie had had a safe and comfortable time while staying at Westside.
More problems emerged over the next few days and each time a nurse spoke with me first, evaluated the situation appropriately, and made the necessary arrangements for me to come in and see the Doctor. My calls were handled promptly.
Ellie and I were at Westside almost every day for the next 4 days. My personal scheduling needs were always recognized and every effort was made to accommodate them. Dr Rutherford even stayed late one night to be able to see me. She was always very thorough, thoughtful and willing to explain.
During all of these visits before anything was done, I was given an estimated cost breakdown and explanation of what was recommended and why. Although we were there a lot, I never felt I was told to come in without reason and fees charged seemed appropriate to past experiences in the neighborhood.
Most importantly, Ellie is completely well and I feel very reassured about being able to obtain good medical care for her in a timely way should the need arise. I should also comment that a nurse is on the premises 24/7 and is available by phone should something occur "after hours".
Lindsay M
My JRT was in distress and Westside Vet took us right in. Dr. Rosenthal was so kind and sincerely concerned about my dog. She was very thorough with his exam and did not try to pressure me into any sort of expensive procedures. We ended up needing help later that night and called the emergency number. Sandra remembered my pup from earlier that day and was very helpful. We will stick with this group for sure!
Risa G
Excellent vets; I live uptown near two other large veterinarian practices, but I walk my dog over a mile (or take taxi in less-than-ideal weather) to this veterinary practice. Dr. Brodsky is amazing, but I have seen other, more junior vets, who are excellent as well.
Jack Fedder (chimneyfire12)
It's been over 20 years and I always feel great taking my pups here. A shout out to the staff, the vet techs and a huge LOVE to Dr. Cynthia Yim, caring, kind, brilliant and helping my 13 year old dog have a better life with Acupuncture and modified diet.
Sara Pasik
Dr. Cynthia Yim is a gem. She shows an incredible amount of compassion towards her patients. As everyone knows, dogs tend to hate being at the vet, but Cynthia does everything in her power to make them as calm and cared for as possible. She’s also extremely thorough and on point, and will work with you through multiple options — which is necessary for those of us without deep pockets.
Byum Hee Kil
This is the best veterinary clinic I've been to. My vet Dr. Rutherford is amazing, kind, patient and informative. She responds to my emails promtly and gives the excellent advice. I highly recommend her and this clinic!
Carol Weston
Lauren Colby and the other staff members could not have been more caring and compassionate. Sure, we wanted Mike the Cat to live forever, but there we were, a weepy mess, my husband and I, because Mike was at the end of his long life. We'd been giving him jabs of insulin for years, but now, he was in trouble... Honestly, they were the best. Reassuring, comforting, expert and kind.
Joyce Pustilnik
Without a doubt Dr. Chiverton at the Westside Veterinary Center is the best Vet that we ever took our 10 year old little Cavalier to. Lulu has many health problems and Dr. Chiverton zeroed in on them and now Lulu is in excellent health. I would wholeheartedly recommend Westside Vet. Center. They are kind and loves animals and are very professional.
jon kaufmann
We have had excellent services from Westside, from boarding at a couple of days notice to nail maintenance, health care and end of life services. They are compassionate and caring about both pets and pet parents, through six felines, they are the cat's meow.
Quay Barnes-Johnson
I took my cat there when I was afraid she had consumed poison. First I called and got the good information to wait about 48 hours because testing earlier than that would have been premature.They gave me an appointment in a tight schedule. The doctor and her assistant were very pleasant, even my fractious kitty was kept calm. They treated her appropriately (she was fine, btw) and followed up with a phone call about her status even earlier than promised. I could not have asked for better care.
Max Rosen
My wife and I have 2 bengal cats and Westside Vets has taken fantastic care of them for 3 years. We switched vets because the first vet could not find the solution to a problem that one of them had - but Dr. Lewis correctly diagnosed the problem as a food allergy and instantly cleared it up. THANK YOU, DR. LEWIS!!
Kim
I had a wonderful experience here. I saw Dr. Bodkin, and she was so thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate - I was pretty emotional during the appointment, and she really put me at ease. I've also seen Dr. Friedman, and she was similarly wonderful. Definitely recommend.
Christopher Snyder
Betsy, our 13 year old Yorkshire Terrier, was very sick with an infection she developed around a tumor on her chest. She was also having a thinning fur problem along her back and has been scratching at her ears a lot. We were able to get in to see Dr Napolitano within three days and she was examined and it was determined she needed to have a cyst lanced and also undergo a battery of tests. She received three different pill prescriptions. She progressed nicely from our visit onward. The bill came to $520 and included a lot of laboratory tests which turned out negative apparently. The doctor followed up with phone calls the following week to check on Betsy's status. She is still scratching at her ear and the fur thinning doesn't appear to be improving. But the major issue was definitely addressed and resolved for the good. Overall, a very busy but professional environment.
lori lambert
My dog's doctor, Dr. Kim Rosenthal, has been a part of our lives for nearly all of his (10 years). We love her, and her staff. The WVC is a wonderful place to bring your pet - and "Mommy Kim" is a brilliant diagnostician, which is half the battle. We love her
Patrice “Patti” Kovacic
Can't say enough good things about Westside Vet. I've or shall I say my dog has been a patient for over 10 years and Dr. Rosenthal and the team can't be beat. They are so caring and very professional. I only recommend Westside Vet for my friends' pet needs.
JC Taveras
I haven't had much experience with other vet centers but I can personally say this is the most welcoming, professional and courteous places I've ever been to. Especially coming from a new dog parent!
Ellen Fair
I found Westside more than 20 years ago when my cat got sick and my regular vet was closed for the weekend. I've been going ever since. The clinic staff is supportive and friendly, and the service is accessible 24/7, which has been a godsend on more than one occasion.
Tracy Avedon
Cannot find enough SUPERLATIVE'S in the English language to describe the remarkable care and understanding I received from EVERYONE at Westside Vet when my 14 year old Polish Sheep dog Baxter was diagnosed with Lymphoma and under went treatment for 6 month's. I came to Westside Vet after having had a bad experience somewhere else many years before when another Vet misdiagnosed a tumor for a hernia !!!! I HIGHLY recommend Dr Karen Cantor and the wonderful team at Westside Vet.
Kyle Shadix
Dr Yim and Dr Lewis are the best vets in the state, and the staff are top-notch. I have had many animals over the years, and Westside quality of care is better than any hospital for humana I've ever dealt with. Keep up the great work!
Fusako Miyaji
I had my cat checked by Dr. Cloudman. She was the superb doctor who knows the cats so well and how to communicate with them so that they can stay calm and responsive throughout the visit. And she doesn't overmedicate the animal unnecessarily. Excellent humane doctor!
M HH
Westside Vets are the best! I have been going there for over 15 years and I have always had a good experience, from the front desk staff to the office manager to, of course, the amazing Dr. Rosenthal and all the vets there.
They have gone above and beyond expectations in the care of my dogs over the years and with my personal needs.

Dr. Lewis is amazing, and the entire staff was the best I've ever encountered. Really great environment and very fair pricing. I've been to a couple vets in NYC that I refused to ever visit again. It was such a relief to find Westside Vet Center and Dr. Lewis... a relief for both me and my dog.
Johanna Tiemann
We have been clients at the Westside Veterinary Center for over 18 years. The doctors there gave superb care to our beloved yellow lab, Phoebe throughout her puppyhood and maturity, and were really on top of things when she developed a cancerous tumor at the age of 12. Dr. Napilitano worked in tandem with the veterinary oncologist, and our girl survived the cancer and lived another 2 1/2 years. When she had painful arthritis, Dr. Yim made home visits and helped her feel much better using acupuncture. When it came time to say goodbye to Phoebe, the whole staff mourned with us. We now have a new pup whom Dr. N. has helped us come to understand in all his funny ways. I highly recommend the Center - it feels like family.
Maura Miller
We have been taking our puggle here for over 5 years. They are flexible when you have to get in last minute, and are great with following up.
The doctors are friendly and thorough with every examination.
Highly recommend them!
Sandra Kahn
I have lived with 4 Westies in my life. Three of them were clients at Westside Veterinary. The care was phenomenal. We have been with Dr. Brodsky throughout and they each loved him. The total staff is warm, compassionate and concerned. There are closer vets and "clinics" to me but I am prepared to shlep to my Vet and the veterinary practice on 83rd street.
Gina Hernandez
I've been going to this clinic for 15+ years. They have treated all my fur babies as their own. I've run into finacial difficulties for one of my babies, and they've worked with me on making payments. Not even the ASPCA would do that for me. I will always be a loyal customer. I highly recommend this clonic.
Tomoko Matsuyama
I love this westside vet center. Dr. Yim is very very professional and takes best care of all my cats. When George was hurt by fighting with another cat, Dr. Yim immediately took care of him by surgery and stitchings. He got well perfectly. I always appreciate Westside Vet and their efficient staff. thank you,
Denise Guillet
I have been a patient-mom here for many years. First with my old poodle and now with my new rescue. They are beyond the best. I wish my own doctors were as caring and concerned for me as they are here for my pooches. I would not go anywhere else.
Marilyn Pasekoff
I have been going to West Side Veterinary Center with my dogs practically the minute they opened over 30 years ago. I have depended on their expertise and the special care they have extended to me and all of my dogs. I am so lucky to live right across the street from them. I don't know what I'd do without them.
Ioannis Mylonopoulos
We brought our small Havanese to Westside Veterinary Center with an allergic reaction. The poor guy was really suffering. They took care of him in the best possible way: professional , friendly, on top of things. The doctor simply knew how to calm down Oskar (our dog) and us! Within seconds the doctor knew what was wrong with him, she gave us the necessary medicine, explained everything (in a non-patronizing way), and we returned home knowing that we had just found our veterinary here in NY (my partner and our two Havanese just joined me in NY)! Within a couple of days, Oskar was again a happy, friendly Havanese :-) Thank you for being perfect!
Helen Thurston
I have used this veterinary service for 17 years and recommend it highly for its medical professionalism, expertise, customer service, convenient hours and great love of animals. West Side vets have treated our parakeets, our canaries, our guinea pigs and our dogs. A veterinary mini hospital, this office provides a full service experience for our animals. I recommend it highly.
Marion Kohn
Kim Rosenthal is our vet. She is fabulous.
Melanie Friedman, who has covered for Dr. Rosenthal when our dog required care while Dr. Rosenthal was on vacation, is also fabulous.
But so are the techs and office staff. This is an amazing veterinary facility.
Joe Miller
This veterinary is top notch excellent staff specially Mr Murray paster he has a way to make people feel comfortable and satisfied. Excellent work mr paster your job is lucky to have you on board
Patricia Delahanty
There is no better veterinary center in Manhattan than Westside Veterinary Center! They've taken care of my babies in sickness, health and even death with kindness, compassion, and total professionalism. I can't say enough good things about the doctors, technicians and staff. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WESTSIDE VETERINARY CENTER!
Alan Zamchick
We've never met a more caring, empathetic group of vets, vet assistants, and staff as the group here. They recognize how important these members of our families are and act compassionately and sympathetically. While I'm sure all of the vets fall within this description our experiences with Drs. Napolitano & Colby have been of the highest caliber.
Davide di Cagno-Hagen
Have been taking our beloved pets here for 20+ years for exceptional and compassionate care. Dr Rutherford and the whole staff are incredible.
Lynn Capehart
"When I moved back to New York City in early 2017 the first thing I did was look for a vet for Mr. Squeak, my ginger kitty. I selected Westside Veterinary Center, because it is a full service care center not far from home. I knew as soon as I walked in that I had made a good choice.
Reception is staffed by very caring personnel. The appointment times are honored judiciously, meaning there is rarely a wait of more than 10 -15 minutes. Good luck telling twins Gina and Tina apart! But they're both calm and very sweet.
Mr. Squeak's vet is Dr. Cantor, knowledgeable and compassionate, a highly trained and consummate professional. There is an onsite pharmacy and lab. Examining rooms are clean and bright. You can get full medical care, even surgery, plus dental as well.
And there is a nice feeling of warmth and acceptance when you arrive. Any non-medical problems and Murray ‘The Fixer,’ who is also the office manager, will take care of it in no time. I highly recommend this center. You're in good hands at Westside Veterinary."
I mean every word of it folks! You all do a great job.
Thanks for all you've done for Squeak. Lynn.
Sarah Efird
Westside vet takes great care of my pet guinea pigs and they recently let Fred, Roger, and Dave board there at the last minute when it was too hot at my apartment and I was so thankful. The staff is so nice and it is such a relief when they help me with my pets.
Finn Hermes
Had to take my year old Corgi in after she ate a stick and threw up blood. Waited 10 mins after filling out my paperwork before the nurse took care of us. Both the Nurse and doctor were very thorough and explained everything in detail, answering all my questions, and addressing all my concerns. The atmosphere is more home-like than hospital, which is what I prefer. There was always someone available when I called later with follow up questions. I will be using them for any futures needs.
Nanette Miller
There's no easy way to say goodbye to a pet you've had for nearly
20 years. When I brought in "Sweetie Pie", we were given the most considerate and empathetic care I have ever experienced with a vet.
I highly recommend them.
Eulogio Ortiz
When I adopted two 9 week old kitten both with health problems , on the recommendation of a neighbor, I took them to the Westside Veterinary Center! Bond & Clyde are now 5 years old ... Healthy & creating chaos in my apartment! The professional & medical care both Bond & Clyde received from their vet Jaime Napolitano, was second to none! She's the best!! Everyone who work are the best!!
Dad of Bond & Clyde
Jana Sanchez
I love this place. Everyone I encountered treated JoJo with kindness and professionalism. She was a brand new patient late on a Friday afternoon without and appointment and she was in with the doctor less than an hour after we arrived. The doctor (Rutherford) spent a lot of time with JoJo and accurately diagnosed her with tick-borne illness, doing an overnight test to confirm it. She rang me on Saturday with the results and we had her antibiotics early that afternoon. The receptionists and nurses are great too. The prices are reasonable and they seemed to avoid running unnecessary tests.
Maritza A. Nieves
My 19 year old dog, Sparky, was deliriously running around the apartment, crashing into everything, retching, moaning, etc... We rushed to WVC and were seen immediately.
X-rays revealed Sparky's stomach had bloated to at least 4 times its normal size! I was so upset and Dr.Colby listened; she understood my concerns. Because of the dangers of anesthesia for a senior dog, Dr. Colby opted to go with a non-invasive treatment that may work. Although in the midst of my fear, somehow, I sensed Sparky was in good hands.
After an overnight stay, Sparky was becoming the pup I know. Another set of X-rays revealed a normal sized stomach...no bloat...the treatment worked!
Not only was the doctor helpful and mindful--the reception staff and nurses were as well. Thanks WVC & Dr. Colby
Sincerely, Maritza
Elizabeth Winter
Wonderful clinic. Honest, straight forward and very attentive. Dr. Chiverton correctly diagnosed and treated what was wrong with my cat after several other vets couldn't and had told me she wouldn't live much longer than a few weeks. That was over a year ago. Thank you, Dr. Chiverton! Can't recommend her and this clinic highly enough.
Erica Martin
Dr. Brodsky and his colleagues are the best. He's been caring for our pets for over 25 years. He really takes time with every pet and is always available to discuss your pet's health.
A
Dr Colby is wonderful. So patient and kind. Really listened, and explained all of my options so thoroughly. HOWEVER, they do not let people inside, so if you don’t live nearby, maybe not your best choice. I had to wait outside for almost 90 minutes in 35 degree weather and don’t want to do that again
Hannah Topiel
We love Dr. Chiverton and the entire staff at Westside Vet. Super professional, compassionate, and responsive. The pricing also seems competitive for Manhattan. We live across town now, but still bring our large dog to Westside!
Mary Mcfadden
On Thursday March 31,2016 my dog Gallagher was extremely sick it was after 6 my vet was already closed. My neighbors Jessica sherry referred me to Westside center. We rushed Gallagher there and the staff was extremely friendly and concerned. We were put in room waiting for the vet. I was extremely emotional and sitting on floor with Gallagher. Dr Lewis walked in and immediately made us all feel safe. She came down towards floor to examine Gallagher and assured me she would be ok. The kindness and professionalism that Dr Lewis exhibit made me feeso much better. Dr lewis was a godsend and i am thankful she took care of Gallagher. Although expensive it was well worth going to her. Dr Lewis is an angel
patty malecki
My dog lefty and I have been going to the west side vets for about 10 years. His dr yim and she has gotten us through some pretty tough times. He is now a senior of 13 years with arthritis. Thanks to dr. Yim and the entire team he is really doing well. Acupuncture has really helped him. Thanks to the entire team reception staff, vet techs, groomer,Laurie, and all the Drs on staff .
MARY ODALY
I am so thrilled to have found WVC. The treatment was excellent...my cats are tippy top again and my worries about their health abated. WVC has been in business for decades and serves the upper westside with great service and spot on diagnosis. I fully recommend WVC as the first choice in veterinary care. My cats are very pleased with their service.
Campbell Torres
I'm just going to say that this vet is amazing! My dog became paralyzed because of a genetic disk dresses and at the time I took him in, I thought I would have to put him down. Thankful, I didn't have to. It was a very in encouraging visit and they have since called to check up multiple times. I just moved here so this is my vet. Always! I can't express how grateful I am!
Barbara F
Have been using this vet for the past 25 years. Whichever doctor is available is fine as they are all great. Having a hospital on premises and the ability to call 24 hours a day also a benefit.
Lauretta Davis
Dr. Kim Rosenthal took care of my Westie Annie for ten years. She is highly knowledgeable, caring and attentive to the needs of both pet and owner. She extended the time and quality of Annies life through her final illness. I am getting a new puppy in May and will definitely bring her to Kim.
Herve Bronnimann
We've got good experience with this place. They have kept their appointment times pretty well, I haven't had to wait long for the three times I've taken my dog for her vaccinations. The last time my wife took her Dr Rosenthal called me to confirm we wanted the leapt vaccine that was ordered on her chart. It's a vaccine that's not needed unless dog is off-leash in nature, for rats and rat's during. We might have had circumstances that warranted that in the past, but it turns out we don't need it. That vaccine can have (rare but severe) side-effects. I'm glad the doctor called to confirm and we decided to not give my dog that vaccine. It was very considerate of her to take the time to do so.
Bonnie Simon
My golden retriever sliced her leg on something very sharp out in the woods. They saw her the moment she was brought in. She was anesthesized and extensive sewing had to be done. The bandaging was beautifully done so that she did not need to wear a cone. They saw her for two follow-up visits, even on a Sunday. They are the best!
matthew rugilio
Amazing staff and the doctors took excellent care of my dog. I have never had a better experience with a vet before
Linda Dee
"Lovey" and I love and trust the Westside Vetetinary Center for continued expert care with kindness. Dr. Chiverton is patient, explains everything and is always available for concerns and questions - he's almost 13 with a history of serious conditions that Dr. Chiverton watches carefully even when prescribing. Rubin at the front desk is always helpful and caring.
I highly recommend Westside Vets!
Linda
jill carr
The doctors are extremely professional, especially Dr. Chiverton. She is loving and very knowledgable. The staff always tries their best to see your pet right when you need it too. Very competent and caring.
Carol Barnett
We have been clients since the office was opened. Our dogs have been treated for all types of illnesses and regular checkups, dentals and spaying. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. We are extremely happy with the vets and surgery teams.
Timothy Lister
If you want to know if you and your pet are right for this Vet Center, just drop by and sit in the waiting room for a while. Watch the staff and the vets interact with the pet owners and their pets. This not a giant place. I think there are a dozen vets. This is a caring place where everyone know what your pet means to you. You can't find a more reliable, talented, friendly group.
Richard Farlow
While visiting New York, we had an emergency with our 4 lb HavaPoo; Lexi. We cannot sing enough praises for the kindness of the staff at Westside and for Dr. Lauren. From the emergency call to the receptionist, to the call with the triage nurse, to our check in, and then seeing Dr. Lauren, this team demonstrated empathy and a genuine caring attitude. We are very grateful to have meet such a quality group of people.
Michelle Altman
I've used Westside for over thirty years and three dogs and an iguana. The service and treatment are great and the personal follow-up makes me feel my pet really matters to vets, all of whom are warm and professional.
Alysia Wong
We really love Dr. Lewis. The best part about this practice is that there is always a way to see a vet if ours isn't available. They can also fit you on fairly last minute. The staff is friendly and they've got great hours.
Bryan Rogers
Our first-time visit and the veterinarian, Dr. Lauren, was really great about explaining the issues and possible causes - not to mention pointing out the common paper staples seen in our lab’s indiscriminating stomach. Nice follow-up 48 hrs later to check on progress, as indicated.
Emily Calamita
Dr. Lewis,
Thanks again for taking such good care of Millie. She was happy to get back to her yard in CT.
Thrilled to hear her blood work was normal and she is a healthy 10 year old! I will call this week to make an appointment to get her teeth cleaned.
Stay Safe and Healthy!
Emily Calamita
Ellen Coleman
THE BEST!! Waiting times a bit long even with appointment but that's my only negative. DR. Brodsky
More than a great vet, a very caring person. Been coming for over 25 years. That in itself is a recommendation!
Michael Lewyn
Even though they treat a variety of animals, I was very impressed by their treatment of my gerbil. In a situation where some vets would have called for surgery after a 30-second look (or said no after a 30-second link) their vet diligently weighed the pros and cons.
Manny Kladitis
A very dedicated, conscientious, and friendly group. The Doctors and staff are animal lovers who care for your pet as you would. Also, open 24 hours for emergencies should you need them. A real part of family!
Leslie Young
After being on vacation for a week with a friend taking care of my cat. Our beautiful cat Kelly Clarkson went into kidney failure. Since our friend didn't know the cat very well he didn't think she was acting strange. I noticed how much weight she had lost immediately! It was the weekend and my vet was not available. I rushed to the Westside Center and they saw KC just an hour or so later. We were not a regular client and they made time for her even though their lobby was busy the entire time I was there. There is no doubt in my mind that KC would have died without their intervention and we are forever grateful.
George Ernsberger
My family's dogs and cats were* patients at WSide for more than thirty years, and I can think of no complaint that we had. What seemed an accelerated turnover in veterinarians had us uneasy at times, but that's not to imply anybody ever seemed less than competent (and courteous, and all), only that given a choice one'd like a long-running personal connection. I don't know that any practice has that, for whatever reasons that may be coming to be. They can be a little expensive (it's the neighborhood), and they certainly make known what's available, but I was never pushed when I said, let's go with judging on clinical factors instead of that test. . . " The hospital, which we needed a couple of times, seemed excellent, always attended, and attentive.
*We moved out of the city, early 2015
Serina Concepcion
Love these caring workers and doctors. These ppl really care and genuinely care for your pet as if they were children. Love that. And I love the follow ups they do for any previous visits you and your pet has made. These guys here deserves the 5 star and better reviews. Thank you guys for taking care of my lil guy buddy.
Dan Scolnick
I have been a client of WSVC for 4 generations of cats. Full service, caring, concerned people work there.
they give excellent, truthful advice and spend as much time as needed.
from the director to the orderly's to the front desk, everyone is respectful, well trained and there when you need them.
Lia Miller
Fantastic veterinary center. Lovely vets who are careful and take a lot of time and care with your pet. They estimated the bill for me and it came in right on the money, I didn't feel like they were any hidden costs.
susan thomson
I have been taking my dogs and foster dogs to Westside for over 10yrs and have never been disappointed. They are so caring and thoughtful. Dr. Michelle Napolitano is just the absolute best vet ever!!
Jane Brady
Best vet practice NYC! Drs and staff are compassionate and understanding. Dr. Rosenthal is a great vet and completely in tune with our dog-daughter and us.
Angie Herrera
Wonderful and friendly staff. My little chewy was in extreme pain, I walked right in and under 15 mins Chewy was seen by a friendly and professional vet. The walk-in fee is pretty high compared to other sites in the city, but over all Chewy wellness was well taken care of.

We love Westside Veterinary Center! They are there for the basics, emergencies, and are always helpful, answer all our questions. Our labradoodle, Coco loves going there! Everyone is so nice to her.
Michael Pisula
Dr. Brodksy and the team at Westside Vet are the best. We took our newly adopted "pup" (11 yrs old) Bobi there. Dr. Brodsky identified a bump that 2 other vets missed and successfully removed a 3lb tumor.
The team took great care of Bobi and she's doing great. We are very greatful to Westside Vet.
Valerie Williams
Dr. Lewis is amazing. Super smart, and super friendly. She diagnosed my dog's problem in just a few seconds, and got her all patched up in minutes!
Darwin Bearhead
Dr Rosenthal is one of the smartest & most caring vets around. And all of the staff are incredibly polite & helpful. This rescue mutt is very very pleased with the care they’ve provided!
James Delmonte
The doctors and staff are the best! I have been taking my pet here for nearly twenty years. The staff are caring and responsive and make the patient and owner feel comfortable.
Ann Reynolds
They couldn't have been kinder, gave me advice after hours, and booked me and my pet for an appointment the next day. Dr. Cantor spent a lot of time with us and answered all my questions. They clearly love pets here!
Neal Cohen
Dr. Brodsky, Murrary and the entire staff at Westside Vet are the best and most caring ever. Even after we moved out of NYC (to CT), Dr. Brodsky, Murrary and the staff still take our calls and provide the same care as always. They are not alarmists but are caring, sympathetic and always responsive. Could not ask for a better vet or vet center and staff.
Kim Pillari
We have been going to Westside Vet for more than 15 years. The staff is amazing and we just adore Dr. Napolitano. We so appreciate their expert care, advice and kindness.
Matan Korrub
Could not be happier with this Vet Center. They are kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I put an exceptional amount of trust in their hands, and they've demonstrated nothing but competence and effectiveness. Very lucky to have found this group.
Claire Shillen
We went there after hours with a sick puppy. The staff got us in quickly and attended to us (humans and pup) in a professional, compassionate manner. The facility is clean and modern and all in all a great place to depend on for routine and emergent care.
Carol Berkin
If you love your pet, this is the veterinary center to choose. Wonderful, caring doctors, great staff. I trust my cat, Magoo, to get the best care possible here.
Rachel Reid Garcia
Dr. Rutherford is so nice and knowledgable. The hours here are also very convenient- they are open late and on weekends. They can also get our dog in for an appointment ASAP when needed.
Leesa Dean
Very happy with Westside and love Dr. Bodkin. Very knowledgeable, compassionate and genuinely cares about your pets. I feel like my kittens are in great hands.
Christine Campbell
I bring my dog & cat here, past 5 years and they are wonderful. Caring, smart & attentive staff that truly care about your pet & you. 5 Stars. Great neighborhood vet.
Diane Hill
My 8 year old lab developed arthritis. Our regular vet suggested putting her on rimadyl which is really hard on the dog's system and not ideal for long term treatment. A woman in the park suggested Dr. Yim at Westside for acupuncture and I'm so grateful she did. Dr. Yim takes a holistic approach to treatment, using chinese herbs, diet and acupuncture. The result has been pretty amazing. Not only has my dog's limp disappeared, her energy has returned and I got my walking companion back.
Also, Dr. Yim never keeps us waiting and the staff is really friendly and accommodating. Regarding the cost, it's cheaper than rimadyl.
Sascha Rockefeller
You are a great, compassionate, knowledgeable veterinary center. I support and highly recommend Dr. Cantor. I am trying to give you five stars, but the computer only registers 4.5 stars. Very strange.
Laurie Fishman
i travel from the east side to see Dr Colby- she is a warm, caring , patient , thorough and above all an excellent Dr- and my dog Lucky agrees:)
Every one working there is helpful and knowledgeable and professional!! and nice!!

Dr. Rosenthal is the best !!! She has provided my pets with outstanding care and compassion for the past 20years , also the staff is very friendly and professional !!! I wouldn’t take my fur babies anywhere else
Linda Cornelius
For almost 20 years, we have entrusted the health of our pets to the fine doctors at Westside Vet. Now we travel across town to see them for their excellent, compassionate care.
Ryan C
Clean facility with helpful staff. Very efficient. I enjoyed speaking with the vet who let me know of vaccines and medications that were optional and told me that it would be a good idea to think about what I would like rather than briskly telling me what to do.
Robert Dembo
This is not a frilly, cushioned, cutesy people-focused clinic. It's a very professional, care-focused, results oriented animal hospital and it's all about animal care. Mookie doesn't particularly like it here. He gets poked and probed and injected. But every time he goes he leaves cured or healed. And that works for me. He sees Dr. Napolitano. I'm a fan.
Shera Goldman
Westside Vet is a warm and welcoming place. The doctors and staff spend whatever time is needed to answer all of our questions and concerns and show genuine care and concern for our dog.
Larry Nathanson
Dr Brodsky was really helpful and took the time needed to help our dog's ear infection issue. Really appreciate how well the office is organized and how helpful the support staff is.
Walter Srebnick
Excellent, caring treatment of our cat. Dr. Brodsky is a superb vet. And there is a totally professional, wonderful, involved staff. Highly recommended.
Adam Vajdak
I trust them to take care of my cat without scaring her. Doctor rutherford is very kind and caring to my pet and explains everything
Brigette Lepe
We moved from Dallas to NYC last summer. Freddy has been twice for scheduled visits. He seems to enjoy the visits (not so much the shots) and I have found both staff and doctors to be extremely pleasant.
Calvin Silva
Dr. Lewis was amazing like always, and the front staff extremely helpful. The process was easy, accommodating and safe. Great visit for our furry friend.
cynthia colon
I work in the area and the clinic was recommended to me. Wonderful and Compassionate staff. I feel lucky that my furbabies have a great dr.
Dr. Friedman is the best,!
Boo Grodin
The Doctors and Office Staff are totally invested in you and the care of your beloved pet. Their primary concern is for the utmost and thorough care of the animal you love.
Alfred Mac Adam
Losing a pet is a painful experience. When I had to have my Jack Russell put down, I was beside myself. The staff at Westside Veterinary Center understood perfectly and gave me all the support I needed.
Edie Edwards
Dr Kim Rosenthal has been looking after my pooch and moggie for several years now. With one having digestive system issues and food intolerances, and the other with a neurological disorder, Kim is always such a great help and font of knowledge. I'm so very lucky to have found her and the Westside Veterninary Center.
Barbara Zinn
Simply the best! Been a 'patient"
For 30 years. The doctors and the care are the best there is in NY or anywhere. Their love for pets and the families is evident in every interaction.
Scott Baillie
Everyone is amazingly friendly and they are genuine animal lovers. There have been short wait times in my experience and we have a very patient and thoughtful doctor for our pet in Dr. Chiverton.
Gil Fields
Word of mouth got me to the WVC! I could not believe how efficient, pleasant and welcoming this center is. I filled out the paperwork and Truffle and I were almost immediately taken into an exam room and Truffle was weighed and her information was reviewed.
Then the doctor came in an was terrific in handling Truffle and evenutally she was taken upstairs for more testing. Their diagnosis was on target.
Highly recommend this Center.
Nancy Hament
Always available, always courteous. If your pet has been ill, they follow up with calls from the vet. Overall, great place to take your 'other' family member!
Alan Fitts
Really great in every way. Full service and able to do everything from check-ups to x-rays to surgery. I feel very confident and secure knowing I have Westside Veterinary Center nearby!

Recently visited with our cat, as we have been in search of a new vet in the neighborhood. All of the staff and doctors were incredibly attentive and answered my many questions. Will definitely return.
Suzanne Barbero
i love Westside vet center! I usually take whatever vet is available and I’m always pleased w the service they are very efficient with scrips and appointments. Open 7 days a week is a real plus too for convenience !!!
Brie Byers
I have seen two doctors here, one with my dog and one with my cat, and both were excellent. They have great hours and have been flexible with appointments for me. I would definitely recommend!
Laverne L
West side Veterinary center is fantastic! I have been taking my dogs there for years, even though it's a little out of my way. It's definitely worth it!
Ge Snyc
We love and trust the Westside team. They have helped our little monster through truly awful times when we didn't know if she would make it through the situation. Westside's team has always come through and made our baby have the best life possible.

This group goes above and beyond with all the pets. They "saved" my dog from going thru surgery with care and great diagnostics. I feel safe with them and so does my dog!

Laura van Straaten
I wish the medical practices I go to for myself were as organized and well run as this veterinary practice.....probably no coincidence that the whole front desk and most of the practice is staffed by women! I love this place and so does my dog!
donna cephas
Wonderful health facility - every person on staff is professional and will love your pet. I couldn’t be more secure leaving our dog there for any medical treatment and boarding.
Roy Frumkes
In recent years my two cats have been well served by the compassionate staff at Westside Veterinary Center. They're rather considerate towards me as well.

Only been there once after moving from Brooklyn but everyone seems to be super nice and professional and Cacau's new vet Kathleen Colby was great with him.
Cookie W
I've used Westside Veterinary Clinic for many years and found they offer stellar service. My experience has been with both cats and dogs.
Elaine Comparone
Worried about my beloved cat Baci"s unusual lack of interest in his food, I bundled him up and took him to Westside Vet Center. I was able to see a vet within 20 min.-without an appointment! Fortunately, the doctor could find nothing wrong and offered a couple of options just in case. I refused her suggestions, but then decided to bring him back the next day, since I was leaving for a trip and entrusting Baci to a visiting caretaker. I chose to follow the suggestions given by the previous vet and Baci began eating again almost immediately. I felt I could leave him with a caretaker and not worry. I found the whole operation at WVC to be impressively well organized.The two vets I dealt with instilled me with confidence. Many thanks to WVC!
Elizabeth Parker
They saw me for an emergency"ish" procedure at 8pm on a Tuesday. The vet, Dr. Rutherford, and staff were incredibly helpful, kind, and took excellent care of my kitty.
