I used to go to Downtown Vets. I like Dr. Chesney, but I grew tired of the expense there (our vet in Manhattan was cheaper!), and getting a different vet each time (unless I specifically requested Dr. Chesney). Some of the other vets there seem a bit inexperienced.

I started going to Metro Vets a couple of months ago, and I think they're great. Dr. Gerard adores my dogs, and she sits on the floor with them and is happy to chat at length with me about their concerns. She doesn't try to flog products (I had to get some shampoo for my dog's allergic condition, and she suggested giving me the prescription so I can get it in bulk online!) I saw Dr. Fedina recently, and he also seems very compassionate and competent. He was straight to the point when answering my questions about treatment options and prices.

Speaking of prices, they are VERY reasonable. I have been pleasantly surprised at the low figure on my bill a number of times.

The staff at the front desk (esp. Marie!) are warm and friendly. They called me back on a Sunday with my dog's urinalysis results, and always call before an appointment to confirm.

In short, I highly recommend them! My experieces with them so far have been impressive.
