Columbus Circle Veterinary

I do not recommend this place. The staff is rude and irresponsible, and the doctor is unresponsive. After a week of calls asking about my dog’s lab results and being told they aren’t ready yet, I walked in there to find out that the front desk told me the bloodwork results were ready the same day they were analyzed and the staff simply didn’t want to check and confirm. I was very concerned for my pet, and the fact that the vet charged me hundreds of dollars to analyze bloodwork and then never did her job is infuriating. I’m a real customer with the real experience, and I hope this helps someone stay away from this place. A neighbor also switched vets after a few visits to Dr. Walsh. Simply put, don’t do business with them. There are way better vets in the area.

Dr. Maureen Walsh has been taking care of my dogs and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s not a young lady, but she’s super up to date and put my dog on Librela as soon as it was FDA-approved in 2023. It made a huge difference in my elderly dog’s quality of life until he passed in the age of 14. A lot of vets, based on what I’ve heard from other dog owners dealing with the same rear-leg issues, never even bring this option up. Also she never had to shave fur to draw blood and somehow always hit the vein on the first try. Dr. Walsh is impressive specialist! Your best choice!

We used Dr. Walsh for our old Dog & Cat when we lived in Manhattan 2000-2103. After a dozen years away in Cape May, we finally returned Home & now she's taking excellent care of our 3-Stooges Japanese Chins and our Kitty Princess! Dr. Walsh had the best knowledge of how to properly take care of all our Pets!

I've lived in Columbus circle all my life, I've seen this vet hospital for years. Not many people go there and if they do it's for pure convenience! They open when they want, have files all over the place not to mention, Dr. Walsh needs to hang it up and retire! This woman can barely see let alone diagnose a dog properly. Took my dog to cut his nails once and she was on a walker, couldn't even stand not sure how she still has any clients but the little she has, she milks to pay for the expensive rent. My father took my beloved 16 year old Yorkie to Dr. Walsh with concerns about the itching that ensued and became bloody, she deemed it as allergies and sent him on his merry way with a sensitive skin shampoo for dogs and gave him 3 vaccines (unrelated she figured might as well since he was due), a whopping $400 bill she had no problem charging. Come to find out my poor dog had a tick infestation, bumps my father had initially called out to her and the whole reason he brought him for a checkup. After weeks of using this shampoo she sold us, my parents only found out because they started seeing small bugs everywhere around the apartment which had never been seen before as he is a house dog and doesn't go for walks; he doesn't play with other dogs as he is anxious and attached to my parents. My poor dog had been suffering this whole time, so I called her office to see what can be done and how she could help given she should've caught this weeks ago- the initial appointment was July 24th. Instead of taking some accountability for the quite obvious oversight she doubled down and proceeded to gas light us, asking if we have been hiking and that he likely got it from the park ... AGAIN HE IS A HOUSE DOG! Which she knows because she's cut his nails several times and always comments on how soft his paw pads are, again because he is and has always been a house dog.... She proceeded to pick at the few ticks he had left all to confirm he had ticks, the solution she provided? Make an appointment with her. I wouldn't make an appointment with her to save my life! She is the absolute worst vet ever, she is long overdue for retirement. Please please please, spend your money elsewhere, save your time, money and save your PET! Go to a real vet, Bond Vet, Midtown Pet Hospital or Rivergate Pet Clinic- any other but this one! You'll likely pay the same but at least you'll get actual treatments and a resolution as well as an educated and professional vet that knows how to properly care for your pets and isn't just about dollar signs. This is not to say she gave him ticks because she didn't, but she absolutely could have done a thorough check and caught it earlier so he wouldn't have suffered as long and as much as he did, she didn't care, no sympathy just a lot of questions trying to place blame everywhere else but herself. I would've appreciated her more had she just taken accountability and made it right, given she has seen our dog mostly for his nails whilst knowing his history of him being a house dog; none of this was of concern to her she saw another walk in and potential dollar signs. She also saw our address and was "huh, you guys live across the street?" It was like Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob, dollar signs across her eyes. Never again. And I will be sure to let everyone in the vicinity know as we have lived in this neighborhood for MANY years- since '97!
