5 Stars: Murray Hill Pet Hospital is the best! (by Aron K.)

Aron K. — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:05:00 GMT

I cannot believe some of the reviews on here about Murray Hill Pet Hospital. I have been going there for 3 years and have never had a bad experience and have been there an awful lot because I have 2 older animals (as well as a puppy) who require a lot of treatments. I am at the dog park frequently and everyone there raves about Dr. Dan and the staff. I have yet to meet anyone who has ever had a problem and wonder if the negative reviews are from an disgruntled former employee? I also know that they do charity work all the time and Mayor's alliance loves them, I know because I rescued my last cat from them and there was definitely records kept on my cat!

5 Stars: Dr Nulton is awesome (by dubdub)

My dog has been a patient of Dr. Nulton's prior to her joining Murray Hill Pet Hospital several years ago. She is the best vet I've ever had - and as pet owners know, finding a vet whom you can trust completely is a daunting task - so we didn't even think twice about following her to this practice.

She is compassionate, knowledgeable & is honest about what treatments / shots are absolutely necessary. I left NY a few years ago for grad school & found an alternate vet (whom I despise); I've called Dr. Nulton for 2nd opinions & she promptly called me back every time. I always felt like she had my dog's best interest at heart.

1 Stars: Murray Hill Pet Hospital need new staff! (by susan w.)

Took my pup for a routine checkup and Doctor seemed nice enough, however, front desk is without question the WORST I've ever encountered. I would not recommend this practice as I expect to be treated respectfully by the doctors' staff too. The office administrators are without question the rudest I have ever encountered. Nasty, smug behavior just does no*t work for me, especially in a doctors office where kindness, sensitivity and customer service above all should reign supreme.

5 Stars: Its All About Dr. Dan (by Ronni D.)

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences and kind and sensitive attention from Dr.Dan. My 12 year old bichon had back leg weakness and could not even climb the stairs. He did stage by stage testing and we found bladder stones which, once removed brought her back to her normal boyant self. I was so overwhelmed I sent them a gift basket!

He answers my calls on a timely basis, is open to discussion on course of treatment and is all around professional and capable as they come.

I am sorry if someone was turned away due to a lack of money...and I don't condone that at all- but even Animal Medical Center refuses any treatment without a substantial financial guarentee with credit card or cash.

In that case, friends and family should come to your rescue- not a vet. I had a friend who faced that, and I went right over to the hospital and gave them my credit card so they would tend to her sick dog.

I recommend everyone to Dr.Dan and will continue to do so...he is a wonderful vet and a nice guy too!

5 Stars: Excellent & Caring Service By Dr. Dan (by Andre K.)

I live around the corner, and recently got a new puppy. From the the very beginning of getting the previous vet's records, to caring for my dog, the service has been top notch.

And the administrators (Joan especially), have been very professional and helpful.

What made me want to actually write a review was the fact that Dr. Dan ALWAYS finds time for my questions and concerns, even without appointments.

Plus he is caring and knowledgeable, having quickly diagnosed and solved problems my puppy was having.

I almost never write reviews, but I had to comment because the negative comments are nothing like the GOOD experience I have had with this vet.

5 Stars: Great Care (by Sue M.)

Since I've been taking my dogs from day one to Dr. Dan they've gotten nothing but the best treatment and care and a bonus his prices are not outrageous like most vets in NYC. He truly gives thorough care to your animal. I've heard this said to me time and time again and clearly I concur. Cheers to happy health to your animal(s).

5 Stars: The Opinion of a 16 year Patient (by Randy Q.)

Randy Q. — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 07:10:00 GMT

Sadly - only people who are angry take the time to write a review. I dont know what happened to "anonymous" on that ONE occasion. I believe it is called "ring and run" when you slam somebody without giving your name.

Here is my story of Murray Hill Pet Hospital, it is a story that took 16 years to write I know these people.

I brought my cat (Townie) there 16 years ago and throughout his life they were the best. They have Townies records going all the way back to the first visit. Dr. Lauridia is wonderful with the animals; he really loves them and knows what he is doing. Every time I brought my cat in, the appointments were always on time, I never had to wait excessively and the examinations were thorough, friendly and professionally conducted.

I had to let my cat go yesterday. At the ripe old age of 19 years, I had to say goodbye. Throughout his last check ups and tests, as the results were coming back worse and worse, Dr. Dan treated me as a friend, showed me so much empathy and gave me the information I needed to make this hard decision.

Yesterday he helped me release Townie from his pain. It was as hard as the day I buried my father. Dr. Dan and the whole staff were wonderful. They not only empathized, but they were genuinely sorry to see Townie go as well. They had many years of his visits, because they were a big part of his incredible longevity.

You should treat yourself and your pet not only to their fine professional care, but to the gift of the friendship of these good people.
