Veterinarians near Forest Hills

“Took our two cats for an annual wellness checkup. Dr. Shelson was kind, did a thorough checkup and was very clear about next steps and pricing. The facility itself was clean and staff was kind and professional. Would definitely recommend“

“This is the only vet my dog looks forward to visiting. He needed cancer treatment, and now he’s made excellent progress. Anytime I bring him to the car (which is usually to go to the vet) he now gets excited. Excellent staff and excellent care.“

“Dr. Gitter-Fox was very thorough, ,knowledgable and caring during my pup’s first visit.“

“Easy booking process and everyone at the office was caring & pleasant. Dr. Sremac was quite knowledgeable and clearly explained the purpose of the required tests. I have difficulty walking and people went out of their way to help me enter & exit the office. Very positive experience.“

“I was bracing for exorbitant costs for a routine mature lady cat checkup. Dr Ball was really nice, patient, and reasonable. She is also a very good educator and I think all pet parents would benefit from all her helpful advice and care. The staff, as usual, were kind and friendly. I was quite pleased with the appointment. The experience made me want to come back and have Dr Ball keep taking care of Mochi to provide the best quality of life for the cat. Thank you!“

“The doctors and crews are amazing, showing cares of your little one. I’ve been recommended by friends. Thank you for the kindness and support.“

“I've been going to Veterinary Care Group - Middle Village (Antillys prior to that) for 25+ years. The amazing ladies at the desk, vet techs, and doctors are all professional, caring, and go above and beyond to assist in every way. My cat is a little feisty, but Dr. Ivanoff knows how to handle him; secretly, I think Hanky likes him! Hanky has health issues, and Dr. Ivanoff has been there for us every step of the way to provide guidance and support - he truly loves his patients! Thank you to everyone at Vet Care Group!“

“The staff is great. The doctors are very caring and take the time to answer all your questions and concerns. Provide excellent care for what is needed. Genuine group of people and professionals whose priority is the well being of our animals.“

“I have taken 2 cats' there. When my 1st was sick and eventually had to be put down, Dr. Max and the staff were wonderful. Helping me figure out what was wrong and explaining things to me as far as maybe putting her down. They took my second cat no problem and were just as great with treating her. She has anxiety and a heart murmur and again Dr. Max was wonderful with her. When I was getting ready to move out of the state I asked a lot of questions about how to travel with her, medication, etc... They are a wonderful place and I recommend anyone take their pets there.

“- Excellent doctors (recommend Dr. Bassman), excellent techs, excellent front office staff, excellent management. No exceptions, which is rare.
- Facility is kept immaculate without feeling sterile.
- Very transparent pricing.
- Their “Fear Free” handling can really make a difference, especially for older or vulnerable cats that can actually get sicker from stress.
- Management and staff have always been responsive to even minor feedback.
- Handling of insurance is seamless. Never have to even think about it.

After 5+ years of having 3 cats at Heart of Chelsea (2 routine/healthy cats, one who went through an uncommon illness) we couldn’t be happier and have never been disappointed.

It’s a 25 minute trip for us, but easily worth it.

If you want to keep a healthy pet healthy, or have excellent, expert care for an aging or ill pet, I highly recommend Heart of Chelsea.

Thanks Carlos, Rebecca, Dr. Bassman & Adrianna!“

“My dog and I had a great experience here! All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. The facility was very clean. My dog is quite anxious and they were so patient with her and tried to make her feel comfortable. Dr. Coronato is very kind and thorough. You can tell she really wants the pups and kitties to be healthy. I am so glad I found this clinic.“

“My first experience at GVH was years ago with my cat, and it was great—super nice staff. Now I have three dogs, and we’ve already visited twice. I truly trust this place because they take excellent care of my dogs. The clinic is clean, cozy, and very welcoming. That’s all that matters to me.“

“Not a long wait. Everyone at the front desk knowledgeable and helpful. Vet Techs and Dr. Lara professional, listen well and are matter of fact during the examination of my cat. Advise was welcomed and appreciated so that I may maintain my cat's health and happiness. I am very thankful for all who work there.“

“We found Dr. Solomon last summer. Our first visit was for our cat, Loki, to be neutered. I was impressed with how much time Doctor Solomon took with us to explain everything during the consultation. Much different atmosphere than my previous vet. Everything also went great with the neutering and the cost was very affordable. Our second visit was with my senior dog, who after having a couple bad experiences at the previous vet was a little skittish of the vet and they were no longer even able to get blood work from her without her whining and crying. This is a dog that doesn’t typically cry over anything. Dr. Solomon took this into consideration, shaved the area, used calming petting and other techniques to keep her calm and was able to get blood. All the vet techs at the office genuinely love animals and you can tell they love their job. We have recently had some health scares with Loki and Dr. Solomon has been so good at explaining everything and giving us options. He’s always also given multiple options for a treatment when possible in case cost is a factor. His front desk staff is very professional and friendly. I am so glad that we found Bronx County animal Hospital. We plan on continuing bringing our present and future furry children to him!“

“Very happy with the care & service we receive - long time customer and hope to continue working with Riverside for years to come!“

“After months of trying to treat my cat’s strange breathing problems and more recent Horner’s syndrome, I took my cat here for an internal medicine consult with Dr. Ferreri and Alyssa. They were both deeply kind and courteous. They thoroughly examined and explained the existing documentation + considered all the possibilities given my boy’s medical history. Best yet, they explained the reasoning behind treatment decisions both past and present. I found this last bit very reassuring (in spite of my chronic worries as a pet parent). If you’re in doubt, don’t be!! This is definitely the place.“

“Prompt treatment following the initial appointment at a very reasonable price. The quality of care was excellent. Another clinic suggested waiting until my cat began showing signs of pain, but cats cannot communicate discomfort. Rather than waiting for the condition to worsen, Dr. Korobkova promptly addressed and resolved all of my cat’s dental issues with professionalism and care.“

“I have had a great experience with their staff and doctors, i feel very comfortable with them.“

“I brought my cat in for a first visit with Dr. Nunemacher and she was incredible! She was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to answer my questions and share important details with me about an issue my cat is having. THANK YOU

July 2025 Follow Up- One day before my wedding, my cat was having issues. Dr. Onderdonk and the entire team went above and beyond to help my cat the day before and the day of the wedding. There are no words for my gratitude!! Thank you :)

February 2026- All creatures is absolutely the best. Everyone who works here is so patient and kind. Dr. Nunemacher has gone above and beyond helping me us take care of my cat who has a decreased appetite and talking me through everything every step of the way. THANK YOU“

“I never write reviews but this one is necessary! Dr. Pozo is truly a gem, she’s so warm and gracious and puts you right at ease! She squeezed me in to see my two newly adopted cats when I found out one of them was given to me sick. She examined them both and prescribed medicine, taking the time to teach me how to administer and tips on how to keep the cats calm and how to prevent myself from getting scratched! She has since been very kind to answer all my follow up worry some questions and has also taken care of my dog. If you’ve been searching for a vet, I highly recommend you put your trust in Dr. Pozo!“

“Super knowledgeable and skilled Doctor. The staff is also very caring and qualified. This is honestly the best Vet I have been to!“

“Amazing staff dr perez and jasmine was amazinggg inform me of everything very grateful for them“

“Dr Ramos is always so personable and knowledgeable. She listens to your concerns and questions and is thorough in her communication. She has incredible compassion for the pets she sees and treats them with such care. The staff at Northside were all very friendly and helpful as well.“

“This vet is great been going there since my dog was 6 months, they are patent and very helpful!“

“Excellent veterinarian. Dr Roopnarine and his assistant are excellent human beings. Very knowledgable.“

“Honestly, this place is lovely. I have been to many vets over the years and I have never felt as safe as I do here. They do not shame- my cat is overweight and they remained focused on a plan, not on making me feel like a bad pet parent. Whats even crazier is that my cats do not fear the carrier. While they will cry in the car once they are in the vet office they are calm. They come home relaxed. I think about all the trauma my other cats had at previous vets and it honestly breaks my heart knowing this was an option the whole time. VCG are profoundly lovely and caring people.“

“I have been taking my Chihuahua to Pure Pets for five years. My dog is a rescue and pure paws made him feel at ease, since the first day I started taking him and that makes me feel at ease, as a pet parent ?“
