Dr. G is a great vet, my cat is downright violent and he and his team have provided her attentive care. I found him through a recommendation from my last vet retiring. He doesn’t overcharge like the chain vets in nyc, and you can tell he is passionate about animal care and educating owners

This guy is a joke! The rudest and most childish vet I have ever been in the presence of. I brought my cat in for an exam because she has been throwing up consecutively for the last 8 days. And he was talking fast as well as over me and my mother who came with me. He was more interested in selling us what he had in his office than paying attention to my cat. He opened this gel tube without asking if we even wanted to buy it, and then proceeded to give my cat some as it’s supposed to help with hair balls (even though that’s not what was going on with her), and some wet food which he gave to us for free (but later when I gave it to my cat she threw it all up, but has been keeping her dry food down.) I went back to bring back the gel tube and her feces for a fecal exam to rule out worms (which came back negative) and asked if I could return the tube since we didn’t open it and didn’t need it. One of the employees went back to ask him, and he was raising his voice to his employee saying “It’s only $14!!” And came rushing to the entrance and in-front of other patients waiting, raised his voice as to try and intimidate me and said “It’’s $14 I gave it to you to help your cat, but if you really want the money I’ll give it back to you.” And I said, “Yes, I would like my money back and you also opened it without asking if we wanted it. Plus her case is not hairball related.” He gave me the death stare and asked if I had paid for the fecal exam (which I had prepaid) and then proceeded to give me back my money for the gel tube while then snatching the bottle off the counter like a child. Then today I received an automated message that my cat’s fecal exam was negative with no other follow through. I called and he spoke to me with a tone like he didn’t care what I did next. Didn’t even say that he hopes my cat feels better lol. Just the worst! I’ve never experienced such unprofessionalism before! It was truly disturbing. I honestly don’t know how this guy is still in business. *DO NOT GO HERE*!!

Dr. G is the only vet I trust. He is motivated by his love of animals, is very knowledgeable, and will never try to rip you off / try to sell you unnecessary treatments - I have 5 cats and have taken them all here for their annuals as well as any illnesses. I like that Dr. G explains his diagnostics and decision making very clearly. I appreciate this even more after I had to go to a private equity backed emergency vet at an odd hour, where the doctors and techs were not nearly as knowledgeable and were clearly more concerned with money than the animals. When one of my cats needed dental surgery, he showed me the x rays and explained how to spot the damaged teeth, walking me through why certain teeth needed to come out. When another one of my cats presented with asthma, he showed me where to order her medication from at the lowest possible cost. Some people have mentioned his personal style can be a little gruff, but I really think that's just because he prefers animals to humans lol. I don't mind at all because it's clear he cares about my pets and provides them with excellent care.

I wish I could give them 100 stars, I found a gem! I wasn’t planning on becoming a pet parent but I ended up with an unadoptable cat who is very feisty. She never let a vet examine her fully. Doctor G recommended calming medication and she was able to be seen! Their prices surprised me in a good way, I was expecting to spend around 800, but only spent a third of that. This doctor loves animals and doesn’t sugarcoat anything, that’s exactly what I wanted in a vet and I can’t believe it took me 11 years to find him. If you’re having second thoughts, don’t! This is New York, you won’t find another vet like this anywhere else. The front desk is amazing, such a sweetheart and the assistants are so nice. The dogs at the office are adorable!
