Downright frightening..... The old vet that used to own this place was amazing. Dr. Paliski, the new guy however, Harshad, is... I cant think of a word besides unprofessional. He has no idea what is going on, and seems more eager to perscribe drugs (always brand name I may add, which is super expensive). My cat has a problem with crystals in his urinary tract and after keeping him on Amoxocillin (or rather brand name Clavamox) for 2 weeks decided to throw him on Baytril which causes blindness in cats in as little as 2 doses. When I addressed this issue with him he was nothing but rude and condescending, and proceeded to leave the front desk and make the techs speak to me. He doesnt deserve the practice he has purchased. Dont go here.

I am a physician and while animal and human care differ, the basics remain surprisingly similar. I am in a good position to confirm that Dr. Patel is a competent and caring Vet. He follows up with aftercare calls when necessary and offers multiple treatment options. I worked with Dr. Politsky before he retired and liked him as well. I recommend Thornwood Animal Hospital, and Dr. Patel, without reservation. To those who think his care is expensive, I disagree. Yes, animal care is expensive, but this has only mirrored what is happening in human health care over the past few years. Medicine and supplies have gone up, up, up....

Ive never met such a decent compassionate Veterinarian as Dr. Harshad Patel. He has been a good vet over the years, makes right choices and doesnt get rattled by the dayley world, at least not when he is with YOUR animal. He is strong and unlike some Vets, will include nail clipping in his examinations for free. Dr. Patel, understands that some people are not wealthy, but love their pets and really it is a symbiotic relationship between the pet and the owner. I think Dr. Patel sees this. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a Veterinarian. Thank you, Dr. Patel, Julie & John

Tried to charge me double the going rate to have my cat euthanized. And this is after I received a referral from one of thier previous clients! They werent able to help that animal though. They just rang the owner for $500 IN tests and then decided euthanasia was the only resort for their pet. Try North Regent in Port Chester or if you want the best care in NY go to Paws & Claws in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They have a couple other offices and are true professionals. Unfortunetly I live in White Plains now and deal with the "take you to the cleaners" mentality.

Dr. Patel and his staff are true animal lovers. My husband and I take our family pets to him and can feel the warmth and concern palpably. Recently, we had to put our cat to sleep unexpectedly. The time (3 hours), space (he let us stay in the room with Meowmers), and compassion Dr. Patel and his staff shown us made the terrible situation a little more bearable.

Ive been taking my cats to Thornwood Animal Hospital for 15 years and have always found them: the old vet, the new vet and their staffs, kind and caring. Its the sort of care that I want for my pets.

Everybody there from the doctor to his staff are true animal lovers. Neither my wife myself or the dogs have ever been disappointed with our visits.

Took my new puppy there and they were friendly and decently priced. Going to be taking my two cats there too from now on.
