This vet is out of the way as I live in Sunnyside, Queens. But let me tell you this vet hospital is absolutely worth the 35 minute commute across Manhattan. The doctors and the staff are genuine and kind. My 6 month pup went to get blood work done last Wednesday and got spayed today. Although both visits cost a decent amount, they never once spoke to me as if I was ignorant to the well-being of my dog(s), they never tried to upsell me, and they spoke to me with kindness and understanding. I have worked in hospitality for years and have never seen such hospitality from a veterinary’s clinic in my life. They helped me file my claim with the pet insurance agency. The doctor kept me up to date with phone calls and check ins the day of the surgery and was always transparent about procedures costs and totals. They’re good to my pup and I’m considering taking our older pup here too. Keep in mind our normal vet is .5 blocks away from our apartment but that guy always tries to upsell, isn’t up to date with new health insurance, treatments and research. It always feels like uncertainty leaving their office but not at St.Martins Vet hospital! They are next level animal care and try their best to work with what you can afford to have your pup or and dog in the best health. I wish every vet was like this. Excited to take my pup back in 2 weeks for her checkup. A special thanks to the admin staff and Dr.Kurtzman for being transparent, accommodating, reliable, but mostly, kind and patient. Truly one of the best vets I’ve ever been too with any animal.

AMAZING!!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful!! Everyone was very nice and respectful of my cat, asking each time if it was ok to pick her up, and being very gentle with her. This is what a good Vet practice is😻😻😻!! We had just been to another vet 3 weeks ago. The experience was miserable -They said my kitty's kidney levels were high and did nothing, and the Vet Tech there told me I would have to put her down. They cleaned her ears, but not well. I wanted a 2nd opinion, and came to St Marks. St Marks Vet was so thorough and wonderful!! They found an ear infection in both ears, and tons of dirt and wax... that her last vet did not find or clean out. The Dr also gave her an RX for new food after seeing her kidney levels were high. The Dr and staff took the time to answer every single question I had, even brought up questions I had asked our last vet that he had disdainfully dismissed. We left with an ear cleaning, some RX drops for her ear infection, some Omega 3 for her dander, and a new food Rx. I am SO HAPPY we found St Marks, and so appreciative of everyone at St Marks Vet Hospital!! 💖💖💖💖💖

My wife and I have a Senegal Parrot who we had never taken to a vet before but since he starting having a smelly case of diarrhea we we're looking for places we could take him too. We live in the East village and all the Avian specific vets are either in the upper east or west sides of the city so we were a little hesitant at first but took the chance and we're happy we did. We we're quite pleased with the care and responsiveness at St. Marks Vet. Doctor Barth examined our bird and thoroughly explained how we can move forward and gave us cost breakdowns as well. The nurse/assistant handled our otherwise sometimes hard-to-handle bird surprisingly comfortably. All the tests came clear and the doctor called herself to discuss options. Currently we're on an antibiotic dose, which seems to be helping.

We have brought our kitties here for years. You can tell how much they love their jobs when you come in to put your furry friend to rest and the vet has tears in her eyes as well as the vet tech coming in to help. They assure and comfort you, letting you know that you’re doing the best for your fur baby. If you choose to cremate, they now use a service that includes an urn which is a great comfort. It took only 2 or 3 days for the ashes to come back. Thank you.
