Center For Veterinary Care - Paul Shorts

Highly disappointed in the service we've received for our pug which has been rapidly decreasing over the past few years. Our recent visit a few months back, we were told that during his checkup that he had a slight ear infection. Upon the vet's suggestion, they sold us an ear medication which ultimately cost our dog a good portion of his hearing. His hearing was perfectly normal when we took him in and after a period of time, we noticed he was not responding the same way he would.

When someone told us our dog seemed like he was deaf, I looked up the medication only to find out that the VERY FIRST WARNING for the product was hearing loss! If we would have known this, we would have asked for some sort of alternative or sought another opinion. After calling the vet today, they told me that we could bring him back in to be evaluated, but only at our cost as they would not be waiving any fees for something that would appear to be negligence on their part.

We've been bringing our pug into this vet for nearly twelve year and yes, there's been a lot of change with this place. We should have stopped coming a few years ago when they prescribed him a flea / heart-worm combo medication which was on the recall list which almost killed him. Now this happens. I'm done! It's abundantly clear that they have put the care of your pet aside and are only out for your money.

This place is probably one of the more costly locations in the city to begin with. The service has not matched the inflated cost, so we'll be gathering our records and going to another location starting today.

I have been there only twice with Luna. The staff is caring and show honest interest in the 4 legged patients. I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dundie yet but speaking with her on the phone tells me that she is very caring and truly interested in their well being. Thank you for the care you provide our fur babies.

Dr. Solomon is the best. Very knowledgeable and always available for any questions you have. The staff is always helpful too whenever I call. Highly recommended to take your pet here.

Dr. Solomon and his staff are wonderful! They always are very kind and they take excellent care of Bailey Louise, my fabulous Chihuahua!

The best care by a wonderful staff. Dr. Gene Solomon is extremely caring, compassionate and so thorough. He saved the life of my extremely sick kitten Lola for which I'll always be grateful. You don't have to worry if your pet needs overnight boarding. There's s tech there 24/7 in case of emergency. You can't go to a better place!

I've been taking my shih tzu to Center for Veterinary Care since the middle of 2020. While I have never met her vet in person, I have spoken with them and the staff over the phone during appointments. Everyone I have dealt with is very kind and professional. My dog gets incredible care. The process of bringing your pet to the facility and checking in and checking out is seamless. Highly recommend.

Amazing care from the best veterinarians in New York. Dr. Gene Solomon and Dr. Courtney Leonard are my favorites. They will make sure that your puppies ( and all pets) will have the best treatment and care. They always make sure to call you and explain to you what has been happening to your pet and all it's needs. That is amazing. I love them!

This is a very special place. The doctors are great and the staff is always caring and helpful. They have taken outstanding care of my pet. We have been seeing Dr. Leonard for most of my dog's life and she is truly amazing. Dr. Solomon also has helped us when Dr. Leonard is not available and has been responsive and taken great care of my pet. I cannot say enough good things about everyone at the Center.

My mother has taken her dog to Center for Veterinary Care for over a decade, so when I moved home to NYC, I started using them, too. I have a 6-year-old cat and a pandemic puppy, Dr. Leonard is great with my cat Bella I am very helpful in managing her health and behavioral issues. My puppy has several health issues and the vets are very responsive-they explain things clearly, they have user-friendly hours, and I know that he is getting excellent care. Dr. Solomon is his primary vet; however, all of the vets are top notch and, if Dr. Solomon is not available or is not at the clinic on a given day, I know that Pugsley is in good hands with whoever examines him.

They are kind and friendly. I asked them a rabies titer test and health certipicate for visiting South Korea. They did it very well. Even though my cat didn't pass the result, so she's gotta get it again in Korea. And people should wait outside when their pet meet the veterinarians due to the COVID19.

Dr. Leonard and the whole staff (and other vets) are amazing. Dr. Leonard has been instrumental in treating all of our pets. (2 dogs/2 cats) She has always gone the extra mile to make sure that we have all the options in treatment, given her honest opinion, and consulted with specialists when presented with difficult issues. Dean Martin, our oldest cat that was diagnosed with cancer, has exceeded the normal life expectancy for this cancer after diagnosis and is thriving.

With Dr Leonards help, he has a chemo/steroid routine that has put him in remission. He is 17 years old and feeling great. . The staff and other doctors are just as amazing. I recommend them to everyone.

Dr. Courtney Leonard is the BEST VET EVER!!! Her passion for what she does and her compassion for her patients is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. She has the most impeccable attention to detail, problem solving skills, and intuition — able to identify diagnoses with very little information or symptoms. She is always so quick to follow up with results, knowing just how important your babies are to you, just as hers are to her.
Dr. Leonard’s positive and upbeat attitude is perfectly paired with a calming and nurturing energy to make for a very relaxed visit. So, much so that my cats actually ENJOY going to the vet — they LOVE Dr. Leonard and the staff!!!

Even though I moved away from the UES, I still bring my cats to Dr. Leonard her no matter the need, because I know that we will be getting the best care with her just as we have been for the past 3 years.

Best veterinary practice in NYC hands down. Had many recommendations and these are the only doctors we trust after going to several in the city for the last couple years with countless disappointments. Excellent experience here from the front desk reception service to the doctors. 5 stars!

Thank you Dr Greene and staff at CVC for the amazing care for all my dogs over the past 13 years and for all the rescue dogs we have pulled from the city shelters for our animal rescue! You are the best
