St. Marks Veterinary Hospital

"I took my pets here from 1974 - 2012. I was always happy with the professionalism, compassion and dedication of the entire staff. They took all the time needed to address your pets health issues and made sure you understand the options to get and keep your pet healthy."

"Very easy to make an appointment (and a next-day appointment nevertheless) for a regular wellness exam, barely a wait once there, and the vet and assistant were great with supporting my cat who isn’t a fan of leaving the house! They were thorough in his check-up, gave him his vaccine two months early to help reduce the unnecessary stress of bringing him so soon again, and provided helpful feedback for me to further his care. Will be taking my other cat next week!"

"This vet is out of the way as I live in Sunnyside, Queens. But let me tell you this vet hospital is absolutely worth the 35 minute commute across Manhattan. The doctors and the staff are genuine and kind. My 6 month pup went to get blood work done last Wednesday and got spayed today. Although both visits cost a decent amount, they never once spoke to me as if I was ignorant to the well-being of my dog(s), they never tried to upsell me, and they spoke to me with kindness and understanding. I have worked in hospitality for years and have never seen such hospitality from a veterinary’s clinic in my life. They helped me file my claim with the pet insurance agency. The doctor kept me up to date with phone calls and check ins the day of the surgery and was always transparent about procedures costs and totals. They’re good to my pup and I’m considering taking our older pup here too. Keep in mind our normal vet is .5 blocks away from our apartment but that guy always tries to upsell, isn’t up to date with new health insurance, treatments and research. It always feels like uncertainty leaving their office but not at St.Martins Vet hospital! They are next level animal care and try their best to work with what you can afford to have your pup or and dog in the best health. I wish every vet was like this. Excited to take my pup back in 2 weeks for her checkup. A special thanks to the admin staff and Dr.Kurtzman for being transparent, accommodating, reliable, but mostly, kind and patient. Truly one of the best vets I’ve ever been too with any animal."

"My wife and I have a Senegal Parrot who we had never taken to a vet before but since he starting having a smelly case of diarrhea we we're looking for places we could take him too. We live in the East village and all the Avian specific vets are either in the upper east or west sides of the city so we were a little hesitant at first but took the chance and we're happy we did. We we're quite pleased with the care and responsiveness at St. Marks Vet. Doctor Barth examined our bird and thoroughly explained how we can move forward and gave us cost breakdowns as well. The nurse/assistant handled our otherwise sometimes hard-to-handle bird surprisingly comfortably. All the tests came clear and the doctor called herself to discuss options. Currently we're on an antibiotic dose, which seems to be helping."
