In my experience, Symphony Vet has provided subpar veterinary care for my dog. First of all, the people I've encountered working at the front desk are less than friendly and not the most competent. They have failed to input important information into their computer system regarding my dog's prescription on two separate occasions which prevented me from ordering her medications from an outside provider. I don't know if that was an intentional "mistake" or not, but it was at the cost of my dog's well-being. Secondly, an aq... read more

I have been to Symphony Vet for about 4 years, because it is only two blocks from my apartment, and my bulldog doesn't like to walk far.. and each time I go, I say that I am not going to go again, but always end up there (since I am usually an emergency appointment person - dog with bad back. )There was this FABULOUS vet there, Dr. Martin, but I learned she returned to Europe, and now, whomever I see, I am equally dissappointed. My dogs were vaccinated at Symphony Vet 3 years ago and the very next day, my 2 year old french ... read more

I read several reviews and decided to try Symphony Vet. I had some bad experiences with my other dogs in the past on the Upper West Side. First I found Dr. Auerbach. I took my puppy there and the place was clean, the staff was friendly and the doctor seemed thorough. Seemed good, right? Well, not for long. Dr. Auerbach left. Her replacement left. Our puppy went in to be neutered and we found out after that it was not the new associate who did the surgery (as we were informed pre-op) but rather a rent-a-doc. And sh... read more

There was no button for negative stars or I would have given that score to this horrible vet. My dog was bloated, which I hear can be fatal. This vet does not even have the simple bloat kit that every vet has. They told me not to come in but to take my dog to the emergency room. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! They are also very rude which i just read on yelp Please for your sake and your pets... Go elsewhere. Thank God the Upper West side has so many vets. I walked my sweet dog promptly ( when they kept us waiting to... read more

this place i very good. but extremely EXPENSIVE. my dog hurt his leg and they charged $400 for medicine and x-rays because nothing was wrong. when i picked up my dog, he was the same way he went in, he wasn't dirty or anything. and to my knowledge they don't have a basement!!!

I have two bunnies, and they have both been here. The Exam: While the doctors are personable and pleasant, and were obviously knowledgeable about rabbits, they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about my bunnies during their check-up. "Hes got good teeth and a healthy coat..." Really? Does he have ears? The Operation: I brought my eldest bunny here to be neutered. When I made the appointment I was only quoted the price of the operation, and not the vet visit. So my bill $85 higher than expected. I paid for the... read more

Horrible, dark basement boarding facilities. Our cat was covered in urine and feces when we picked her up. Techs seem disinterested, uncaring, and cold.

OK, I will let you decide. Picture this, it is a beautiful day. You are playing catch with your delightful canine daughter in Riverside Park. The sun is shining, the breeze, heavenly. You toss the ball, she jumps to catch it. She lands badly and hurts her leg. She can only use three legs to walk. Your baby is in pain, and so you are in pain. The closest place to take her is SYMPHONY VET CENTER. You get there as soon as you can. The cold, aloof DR. offers no help. She refuses take an X-RAY, to see if your baby broke her leg... read more
