I started bringing my now (nearly) 15 year-old dachshund mix to Lenox Hill about a year ago after a series of frustrating visits at one of the nearby “corporate” practices that we’d landed at after his former, and lovely, vet retired. Lenox Hill has since far exceeded my very high expectations — we’ve seen Drs. Putter, Valitutto, Hilchuck, and Sanchez for various routine & urgent issues over the past 12 months, and they’re all fantastic. Most recently, my dog ended up with a truly severe dental abscess (so severe that I’d assumed he’d been stung by a bee due to how swollen half his face quickly became…) that warranted an emergency dental cleaning + 5… read full review

Reviews
I highly recommend this office. I was often able to get same day appointments and medications in office. From the receptionists to vet techs and veterinarians, I always felt comfortable with my dog in their care, and she was always excited to go to the office. All veterinarians I have seen at this office have been incredibly transparent, communicative, and thorough. Even after moving out of NYC, Dr. Putter worked with me regarding an insurance claim, saving me thousands of dollars. Support this locally owned practice!
The best vet in Manhattan! They’re all very friendly, professional and wonderful with my dog. We’ve gone in three times and had excellent care everytime. They even take the time to call and follow up to see how he’s doing. I will go here anytime we need vet services.
