I wouldn't take my cat here.. – This Vet. is rude! very dry and no personality. Poor quality of examination of my beloved cat. He did a very fast job and didn't take his time examining my pet and I got charged pretty hefty. He was in and out of the room like he was pre-occupied about something else instead of doing his job. I don't think this guy likes cats at all, I think his in it for the money. He's staff doesn't care either. They look very unhappy with their job. this is not the place I want to treat my beloved pet. The ... read more
unhappy visit.. – This vetrinarian I saw was very unprofessional. He has no patience with cats, so I don't see the point of calling this place a "cats practice". I've taken my cat here twice and both times this guy was very rough to my cat and he would always pin my cat very hard and rough when he would moved to a point that you can hear his bones being banged against the table. Also, too many staff hanging around but never any assistant present in the room for extra help. They are never on time and it makes my cat even more... read more
Lost Faith/Confidence in this Practice – I had been taking my Siamese cats to Dr. Sullivan for 20 years..since his practice was in the Village. I had complete faith in the vet care and was confident even boarding my animals there when I myself was hospitalized unexpectedly. The reception staff was also attentive and helpful. HOWEVER--when a bill was inadvertently not paid it was immediately sent to a collection agency.! No attempt was made to contact me to address the situation. I found this very unprofessional and unaccepta... read more
Exceptional Veterinary Care – My wife and I have been bringing our two cats to the Cat Practice for seven years, and we have always been extremely satisfied with the service. Over the years, our cats have had a variety of problems, from abcessed teeth to urinary track infection to ear infections to problems with their weight, and we have always felt confident bringing our cats to the Cat Practice. Dr. Sullivan is an excellent vet, and his staff has always been very courteous and helpful. And we love that our cats get their t... read more
Don't go. – I made an appointment about my cat's ear infection. She had been scratching her ears quite a lot and shaking her head. While the Dr. seemed quite nice. He charged me $95 to say come back in two weeks about her ear infection with out even looking down her ears. Two weeks later she now has a full blown ear infection and can't even stand up. I did not feel listened to at all and because he didn't even look in her ears except for to test her for ear mites, which I already knew she didn't have, his neglect is costing ... read more
Unprofessional billing practices – After being a good customer for a couple of years, they sent me to collection without calling or trying to reach me in regards to an outstanding bill I did not know I had. Very disappointing customer / patient experience. Will not recommend to anyone I know. Sub par service.
Saved my cat's life – A little background first: After spending $3000 at a prestigious hospital on my cat Lucky Lou and seeing 5 different doctors in a matter of two weeks, I was starting to lose hope when no one could quite figure out what my "cat-child" had. He was first diagnosed with cholangiohepatitis, and if you google that, it's definitely not something you want your cat to have--it's a severe and often fatal problem with the liver. It's pretty common with cats, especially fat ones, and the Luckster was a fatty. He wa... read more
WE LOVE THE CAT PRACTICE! – We love The Cat Practice. The staff is fantastic; caring, knowledgeable & friendly. The "no dog" office is ideal for our fearful kitty and the Sunday hours saved his life. Dr. Sullivan is a great vet and as far as fees and medicine prices go, we understand the costs of running a business in NYC. The Cat Practice is a gem. Jenny & Scott
Unimpressive veterinary care – I took my cat to the cat practice to have her spayed. They didn't get around to doing it on the first day she was there because they were too busy, so she had to stay an extra day. Then, when she was returned to me, the fur on her whole body was sticky with dried, fermented urine that she had lain in, and she had picked up some kind of resperatory infection. She ended up requiring 2 weeks on antibiotics to clear it up. They also don't use dissolving stitches for this operation, requiring additi... read more
