So I brought my cat here several years ago and always meant to write a review to warn others about this place but I never quite got around to it. I was searching for a vet and came across this site and it reminded me of the awful experience I had. The vet I saw was a woman (I think it was Dr. Eisner). My cat had been licking his lips and was clearly in some kind of pain or distress for a few days. Backstory: I had recently fostered two kittens and he developed these symptoms near the end of their stay. I knew the kittens had... read more
The care our cats received was largely okay, but I would avoid this clinic if you have an anxious pet. They seemed utterly incapable of managing our cats and sedated them every time. It wasn't until we moved and got a new vet that we realized it was unnecessary. They also were not empathetic about the challenges of pets who are nervous at the vet, badmouthing our pets for it and rolling their eyes when we said they were sweet at home. It left a really bad taste in my mouth and I hate to think of how many times the poor littl... read more
My cats WERE (notice the tense of the word) patients of Northside for many years. I will never be going back here nor should you take your animals here if you care for them. My cat was suffering from eating problems, she was eating less and less and losing weight rapidly. I had taken her three times over three months to address this issue. The final visit I specifically made for dental because it seemed she was in pain when she chewed, and Dr Daniel Leman had said her teeth were bad 18 months prior during her physical... read more
Not one to Yelp anything, but felt highly compelled TO MAKE THIS ACCOUNT to share my experience after using Northside for 5 years (I'm hitting myself that it took me this long to switch vets). The long and short of it it is that the customer care at this place is so, so bad it actually impeded the care my pet received. Here's my breakdown of everything. 1. The people at the front desk are so overworked (I'm assuming) that they hate their jobs and make doing ANYTHING at this place extremely difficult. From making an appoint... read more
Took a sick and stressed cat in for a fixed appointment time, ended up waiting 45 minutes past the appointment in a crowded and extremely chaotic environment full of big dogs. Not good for cats, nor for anyone who doesn't have a lot of patience. Suggest they offer fewer appointments and honor them.
I would not recommend this veterinary clinic because I had a negative experience which has prompted me not to return. I had gone in for a simple eye pressure test which Dr. Raud performed, and as a result, it caused an eye ulcer in one of my dogs eyes. My dog has had this type of test performed on him many times, but this Dr. managed to cause injury. I had to go back to see my specialist and it was time consuming for it to heal. Additionally, I find their prices to be on the more expensive side. I was quoted $700-1000 doll... read more
I never write reviews but I HAVE to share my experience from today. I took my very healthy, happy dog in for an urgent visit because he was mysteriously bleeding from his neck. He has thick fur so I couldn't really see what was going on under there, so I brought him in to be safe. His usual vet is on the UWS, but I figured I'd give a neighborhood vet a shot for a change. What a mistake. The vet immediately made me feel attacked. She told me the food I was feeding him is bad, and that I should start bringing him in for acupu... read more
Business response:
While it is clear you think Dr Eisner missed the tick on your dog, we have a different perspective on this story. There was a bloody hard mass of fur stuck to your dogs skin. You explained you had used a furminator at home to get the fur off and had slightly torn the skin in your attempt to clean the area. Dr Eisner felt that aggressively scrubbing the crusted bloody fur would have been painful to your dog so instead she clipped the fur around the area and liberally applied an ointment to soften and soothe the affected ar... read more
very pushy sales tactics. refused to see my dogs same day (you can't even come in and wait) and ridiculous bills. look elsewhere.
Be careful, SCAMMER VETS. These guys unnecessarily UPSELL to you like crazy. I hate to say it, they're pretty nice, but after 1.5 years of taking my dog there, it just becomes apparent this is constantly happening, and they do it with a friendly smile. Google it. There are expose articles showing how the entire Vet industry is apparently corrupting, even reputable clinics with 'nice' vets. For ex, they up-sell expensive omega oils when you can get just as high quality online for far less $$. I'm into natural remedies ... read more
Business response:
I personally take exception to your negative review. Dr Eisner and I are not in practice for money. We have been vets for 36 and 31 years respectively; at this point in our lives we do not work because we need to. We continue to practice because we love what we do and feel that by going to countless lectures, regularly speaking with specialists about our patients, and having all these years of experience, we are pretty good at what we do. We like animals and people. What you interpret as upselling was my honest opinion abou... read more
