Center For Veterinary Care

"Very impersonal and very expensive. Bet spent 5 minutes with my dog and I left with a $400 bill."

"CVC is a fully equipped veterinary hospital, with first rate vets. Still owned by Dr. Schwartz, not private equity (unlike many area practices), they will do after hours emergency calls if you are a client. I've trusted three dogs with life threatening illnesses to them, and they've gotten top of the line care. I really think they are some of the vets in the nation, notcjust Dutchess County. They are also not the most expensive out there (heartworm treatment $1,000-$1500, vs some other vets charging $3000). I also appreciate the clear and thorough way Dr. Schwartz explains things. Highly, highly recommend."

"Dr Paul Schwartz is the best Veterinarian I know. He saved my 3 year old Yorkies life when another vet wanted to put her down. Paul gave me another 10 yrs with my dog. Another poster claimed that this group lacked compassion for older animals, nothing could be further from the truth!! Dr Paul and Dr Kim have taken care of three of my dogs for the last thirteen years. The admin staff and the vet techs are all very much on point always. The best possible care for your animals are in their hands. If your animal is at the end of life they will handle that for you with the utmost compassion, they will also be straight forward and never let any animal suffer needlessly. These guys are the best in the business....... Love all of you Rob, Tille, Abigail & Freddie Mercury"

"The vets and assistants were very good until my pet lived long enough to be in her older years. Gradually I noticed a change of attitude in both the veterinarians and the front office employees. By the time my pet lived to be 14 years old, I would come for a routine appointment, be ignored by the front office receptionist for 15 minutes or more while she yakked on the phone with a friend and then get so-so attention from the vet. It was inexcusable. I have two more pets now and and happy to spend my money elsewhere. Not recommended for people with older pets."

"I was able to schedule an appointment the day after i got my new puppy with Dr Schwartz. From the moment I called the office the staff was incredible, one girl was nicer than the next and VERY professional and personable. My husband and I immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Schwartz and his sense of humor left us smiling all the way home. Well, one week later on a late Sunday night when the office was already closed, my puppy was experiencing a problem with her stool. I was very concerned.(don't want to be too graphic) I called the office and they said the Dr. on call would call me back. WITHIN 4 minutes i was on the phone with the doctor who said she will be ok, but bring her in first thing in the morning and even though he was all booked for the day he said not to worry i will see her. The next day his office called me BEFORE they were even open to assure me the doctor was waiting to see my puppy. You really can't ask for better care than that! My puppy is fine, they treated her with some medicine for 5 days and she was better after 2! This is the care you want for your most special 4 legged friends!"
