We just started bringing our nine year old pembroke welsh corgi, Barclay there for holistic treatments and integrative medicine at the recommendation of some close friends. I wish I had learned of this veterinary practice sooner! We plan to start bringing our 10 year old Bengal Tiger/Maine Coone cat mix, Orin here too. It is located in Westchester and we live in Manhattan, but it is worth the long drive. Last week we first came to them at a very critical point in our pups health. They were very instrumental and most effective at stabilizing Barclay with vitamin c intravenous fluid drips, ozone therapy, acupuncture, herbal shots and supplements. I must give Dr Jenna Lenarz credit for mitigating a precarious prognosis that was given to us by an emergency animal hospital in NYC. Dr Jenna is knowledgeable as she is compassionate, and we just adore her! Dr Rushkin is also wonderful. While Dr Rushkin wasn’t our attending physician she made it a point to check in with us and offer advice and support for Barclay. Smith Ridge Veterinary Center is a treasure and a Godsend. The doctors, technicians and staff have such a wonderful rapport with the animals. Unlike some veterinary practices, they do NOT rush through appointments at all. Quality time is spent gaining the trust of the animals, evaluating records & animal health and vitality, and answering your questions... To my surprise, Barclay did not need to be muzzled while getting catheters installed, temperature checks via hind quarters etc and other uncomfortable procedures. Dr. Jenna, and the wonderful team of technicians talk to Barclay and communicate with him throughout every procedure thus allowing him to gain their trust and also feel dignified. In return, he is amicable and cooperative. I also do not have to fight to get Barclay through the door whenever we come here. He enters willingly and he is also very happy to do some shopping for treats in their little “general store” while I check him in at the front desk.

Our dog Onyx was diagnosed with cancer in his mouth in June 2011. Dr.Marty and Dr. Mike performed cryosurgery on him. They told us it would give him a few months of good quality life. Onyx lived happily for 161/2 months. He was his old self walking , swimming and playing. The cancer reoccurred but we had 161/2 wonderful months with him. If we had not had the surgery when we did , he would have died within a week. We cannot thank Smith Ridge and Dr Marty and Dr Mike for giving us so much more quality time with Onyx. You are the best!!! Gerry and Paul Kraszewski

As a veterinary student, I have seen numerous veterinary offices. From the first visit at Smith Ridge, I was immediately impressed by the dedicated, thoughtful, and caring staff and fabulous facilities. Above all, their holistic approach is phenomenal! I will be taking all of my animals here!!

My dog would have died at age 2 if not for Smith Ridge. She will be 9 this year. They are the smartest and most health-conscientious vets I have ever dealt with (and I have taken dogs to PA, NJ & NY).
