I have had 4 dogs now , several cats, and mutliple rescues. I have used Central Animal Hospital as my Vets for over 10 years. They have saved their lives, as they all came to me sick and diseased. All the staff at Central Animal Hospital have been nothing but kind, humane, empathetic, willing to listen and explain, understanding in hard times. There is only praise I can give to such wonderful people that care for those who have no voice. We as pet parents treat our pets, like our "Children" Its nice to know that this staff understands that and treats your pet the same. Even if it is a rescue off the street they have been nothing but the best. I love the Hours the days they are open and the staff always being available at a moments notice. With sick or injured pets this is very comforting to know you a a short while away from help for your loved companion. I see some negative comments here and have to disagree with you on all counts. Quality pet care has alot that needs to go into it. I once had the misfortune of going to a real con artist who should never touch another animal. My Beloved King had Diabetes, Seizures and Pancreatitis when I got him, before hearing about Dr Woltz and staff. This scammer gave my dog a magic shot, that would last over a week and slowly disperse to help him, I wanted to know what the magic shot was and looked at the bottle when he left the room, It was a 3 years expired bottle of Amoxicillin. Which was not going to help my Dogs situation. People who compalin here about these vets, will complain anywhere. Good health care is not a freebie. I do not trust my pets in house or street care to anyone else. End of Story. You have to live with your decision , I sleep well at night knowing my animals are well cared for and are never neglected when they are sick. You can hear a lot of horror stories from other vet visits and other so called clinic or hospitals, but get your animals the finest care available, they love you unconditionally. I wish I could rate them a 10

Im FUMING RIGHT NOW!! I took my dog to be spayed and Dr. Truslow informed me that they wanted to biopsy on a bump my dog had..which we did. I had been informed by different pet owners that my dog had a fatty deposit and it was normal for dogs to have them. They told me it was NON-cancerous but they wanted to remove it bc it seemed it was an enlarged hair follicle. I TRUSTED this dr!! WHen I went in to bring my dog the TECHNICIAN asked me where ws the bump and said this is a fatty deposit, we dont need to remove this. I said thats what everyone else has told me, but this dr. said they want to remove it to do further testing. She said she would speak to the dr. about it. The dr. called me this afternoon and she said my dog was doing ok and I asked her about the bump. Her words "its the strangest thing, it was a fatty deposit" I told her so if my dog continues to get these what are you telling me she needs to be operated for these? she said Oh no. I feel this dr..just wanted MORE $$. How can a technician KNOW what it is and you a dr NOT? My baby had to have TWO surgeries and ONE was UNECESSARY..then she tells me "we like our patients to leave as early as possible" EXCUSE ME< COME AGAIN? I am beyond upset right now!! Where is her bedside manner?? Im devastated that they put my baby through TWO surgeries without her needing it.

We lived in Westchester for many years and used to have ferrets. We initially went to another exotics vet but they were all about the $$. Someone recommended Central to us and we never went anywhere else. We probably went to them for about 10 years and usually saw Dr. Woltz for the cats, Dr. Gross for the ferrets, Dr. Sills for the lizards and we also saw Dr. Ben Adi a few times. Visits ranged from the usual check-ups to surgery on our ferrets and chemo for one of our cats. You wont find a more caring practice, they truly do care about animals. I still remember a really heartfelt card we got from Dr. Gross after we had to put our oldest ferret to sleep; and the calls from Dr. Woltz checking on "the kid" after his surgery. They were also very supportive when cancer took our cat in a matter of weeks, and they didnt try to keep pushing chemo sessions like other vets I know. They were very honest w/us and told us to try one but if he didnt respond within a certain time frame the best thing for him would be to let him go. It was truly heartbreaking for us but Dr. Gross knew us and was always completely up front with us. The staff and techs were always caring, courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend them for all types of vet care.

I just came back from the CAH in Scarsdale and I was so impressed by the quality of care my dog received that I wanted to leave a review about my experience. Hes just 6 months old but I have already been to a few vets that did not leave a good impression. We came in without an appointment and even though they were at max capacity the receptionist whom was a young lady with tattoos and black hair (sorry for the vague description, I didnt get the name) was so accommodating and nice. After sitting for just a few minutes my brother and I decided to come back tomorrow. The receptionist insisted on having the dog looked over by a vet tech before we left. Since his behavior was a bit odd . The vet tech was so nice and imformative. I thought it was so nice that they took the time to check him before we left. We decided to stay as adviced. He was seen in less than 10 mins by Dr. Spatny who was so caring and gentle with our dog. She checked him throughly and was very informative through out the process. We will definitely be back. Prices were as expected, and for the care we got, totally worth it. Thank you so much!

The staff at Central Animal Hospital only knew Teddy briefly. We brought him in for a digestive problem. Little did we know that we would lose him a short 2 months later to a serious illness. However, during the intervening time period, everyone at the center treated him with love and compassion. He was never afraid to go there. He would jump happily out of the car, wagging his tail, despite how badly he felt. I think he sensed how much they cared about him. There was nothing the folks there could do to save him, but when it came time and he was suffering, they eased his passage as best they could. An especial thank you to Dr. Lindsay Thorson, who was Teddys primary caregiver. Also thank you to Dr. Erin Keefe, who also saw him and helped him at the end. These doctors were professional and loving. The technicians who cared for him and the staff at the front desk who cared for us...everyone acted with only kindness and concern. If (or when) we get another puppy, we will be bringing him or her to Central Animal Hospital!
