A few months ago I noticed a significant change in my 12 year-old Shepherd mixs stance. His hind paws were not pointing straight and he kept hanging his head below his shoulder level. He seemed uncomfortable and was sleeping a bit more than what was normal for him just a few month prior and had a sudden onset of intermittent digestive problems I had taken him to AMC for his big annual exam about 4 to 5 months prior to the onset of these symptoms - he had full blood work done including a GI panel as well as chest x-rays and an abdominal ultrasound and all results were excellent. I am very confident with my choices regarding my pets health and feeding protocols so I knew that taking him back to a general Vet would result in nothing more than x-rays and a prescription for Metacam or Rimadyl and from there, I knew that at his age these drugs would cause a downward spiral in his health. I needed someone who was not going to use these drugs and would help my dog heal instead of just using painkillers as a Band-Aid in the hopes that the problem would maybe or hopefully go away. This is why I contacted Dr. Babette - she is incredibly well versed in wellness therapy for aging dogs, using non-invasive therapies to help manage pain and discomfort while getting to the root of the problem and using acupuncture, laser therapy, ultrasound and physical manipulation to heal and eliminate the pain and discomfort.... This is exactly what she did for my baby, Shaq - after 2 sessions with Dr. Babette his head was held high, his toes were pointing ahead, he was running again instead of dragging - he started to roll on his back again when he wanted his belly rubbed - all of this without the use of any NSAIDs that destroy his liver and accelerate the aging process in an already elderly patient. We are continuing with his therapy and I am grateful to Dr. Babette for the great care and effort she puts into managing the health of animals.

Dr. Gladstein saved my dogs life. My Cane Corso, Dizzy, was purchased from a horrible breeder, we did not know any better in selecting an ethical breeder. Long story short, at 1.5 years old her hips gave out. Film radiographs showed that she literally had no real hip joint socket, it was too shallow. The traditional vets were talking about double hip surgeries and astronomical cost, and possible putting her to sleep after a few years...Again, Dizzy was only 1.5 years old. Dr. Gladstein, used prolotherapy on my girl...its been three years since the treatment protocol. I have waited to post a review just to see if Dr. Gladsteins work can stand the test of time, and it has. Dizzy is a beautiful, healthy Cane Corso showing no signs of slowing down. Dr. Gladstein saved my dogs life (and she even made house calls all the way in Brooklyn!).

Dr. Gladstein is an amazing Vet! My dog is very nervous and would freak out at regular Vet offices. Dr. Gladstein treats my dog in the comfort of his own home and he loves her. Im so glad I dont have to make him endure a traumatic experience just to get medical care. My dog had an open wound after being bit by another dog. Dr. Gladstein was at my apartment within the hour and treated him with stemcells. He healed within a few days! My dog is very active and runs several miles with me per week. Dr. Gladstein has provided such wonderful advice on my dogs diet and overall health including stretching and massage. Im so glad I found her!
