Cooper, my mostly Saint Bernard Rescue dog and I went to Hudson Highlands for surgery on his torn ACL, broken knee. When I called to make the appointment, I expressed my wish to be with him until he fell asleep for the operation. this was not the norm but they understood and allowed this small concession to dog motherhood. I love that the staff greets you as though you were part of their own lives and that the appointments were ON TIME! Everyone cared about my dog and within seconds the Vet Tech had passed the "I Love You " test with Cooper. If I had been impressed with the fabulous staff, I was about to be blown away by Dr. Paul McNamara who walked in to greet us. Here, too, the first one to be greeted and and adored was Cooper. I patiently waited my turn as I was already half in love with him just because of his attitude towards Cooper. Dr. Paul is impressive to say the least. It doesnt hurt that he is handsome, but he took time to explain everything to me without treating me like an idiot because I was not familiar with vet terminology. I was shown the entire facility that ranks right up there with the best people hospitals! The entire experience was so positive, from the wonderful sisterhood at the front desk to the after care of Cooper, that it resonated with my own conviction of what health care should be. It would be a perfect template for every health provider. For Cooper and I, and for many other pet owners, we are given the gift of profound kindness and respect. It doesnt get better than that.

I have been going to Hudson Highlands Vet for around 2 years now as Ive had my adopted cats for about 8 years. They have been the best vet practice I have ever gone to, hands down. My cat, Smee is a Persion that had a mast cell tumor and Dr. McNamara did a spectacular job removing the inch-diameter tumor as well as taking care of Smee until he was recovered enough to come home to me. The staff is kind, compassionate, caring, and thoughtful. Smee has been on chemo over the last year and has had several bouts of sickness from a weakened immune system and they could not be more kind to him or me. They understand that pets are part of our families. Dr. Christiansen and Dr. Furst have worked together to ensure that all FOUR of our cats (we just adopted 2 kittens from Hudson Highlands) are well-cared for, healthy, and happy! I could not have a higher recommendation for this group of Animal-lovers!

I traveled over an hour and a half to have an appointment with Dr. McNamara at Hudson Highlands. It was the best experience I have ever had at a veterinary clinic and I have had dogs and cats for years. The staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating. The clinic is beautiful and presents a very calming environment for the pets. Dr. McNamara was great with my dog, who is very fearful of men. He was very kind. During the consultation and examination, he explained the options I could take in making the dog more comfortable, At no time did I feel he was ever encouraging me into treatments that would be more beneficial for the clinics bottom line than my dogs health. I Highly recommend Hudson Highlands Veterinary Group, especially if you want a consultation on orthopedic issues like I did. You will not be disappointed.

We have a bunny and we have really struggled to find good vets. We recently moved to the Hudson Valley and are SO glad to have found Dr. Furst at Hudson Highlands! He really knows bunnies, was informative, caring, and very skilled with the care of our pet. Our black Rex/lionhead mix had a hairball blockage and I am CONVINCED that the best case scenario elsewhere would have been surgery. With Dr. Fursts expert care, our bunny passed the blockage on his own! He also coached us through intensive at-home treatment so that we could keep our pet home as much as possible during the ordeal. And he charged us the bare minimum - discounting his own fee for a follow-up!! He has also continued to check in with us about recovery. We are so grateful to have found this EXCELLENT vet!

My dog had a TPLO surgery last year and although it took forever to heal and had to have numerous return trips to the vet because of staples pulling, wounds opening up etc.... my experience with them was OK- The staff there is friendly and helpful. HOWEVER I tried to schedule my dog to get some annual shots done and have them take a look at the leg because its STILL NOT FULLY HEALED but they will not see my dog in that capacity. BEWARE after spending several thousand dollars on the surgery they will not let you bring your other dogs there because of some ridiculous "hospital policy" of not seeing dogs for 1 year. I am extremely disappointed. Its too bad I will be finding 2 new vets now!

My five month old French Bulldog was diagnosed by my regular vet with a heart murmur and it was recommended that a board certified cardiologist perform an echocardiogram. Dr. Petrie examined the puppy and explained that the heart murmur is not serious and that we should have our dog for many years and we should "just enjoy him and not worry about his condition". Dr. Petrie is an incredibly skilled vet with having worked for AMC in New York City. He is also extremely personable and you cant help but feel very confident after talking with him. I highly recommend this fantastic hospital. The staff are also very friendly.

This place is just terrible. It s like entering into a twilight zone. They are mean, I mean really nasty attitudes! They yell at you. The front desk girls are so uncaring and rude and unprofessional. The vet techs are not knowledgeable of tests and procedures. Its really frustrating. The first impression is wonderful (based on the looks of the building) but after that it goes all down hill. My dog has been so sick and they could careless, they actually brought me to tears!

Modern facility, warm caring staff, literally saved my dogs life with quick and correct diagnosis and continued care for her Addisons disease. I would not take her anywhere else! A little expensive but worth every dime! Lots of experienced and well trained vets!
