I've been a client at Westside Veterinary Center for almost 30 years. The doctors, vet techs and staff are all top-notch. I moved out of the neighborhood 7 years ago, but I still go there. I don't trust anyone else with my furry best friend. Special shout out to Dr. Bodkin who has been there since the beginning. She is kind, practical and compassionate. She takes care of me just as much as my cat, as I tend to be a very worried pet parent. I love Westside Vet!

We've lived in the area for ten years and have brought our two cats there when needed. We've had wonderful experiences with both Dr. Rutherford and Dr. Smith and many of the assistants, especially Shanice. The front desk can get a bit hectic but the care and attention our pets get is wonderful. We are very happy with their devotion to our loved ones.

Westside Veterinary is the BEST. The staff is wonderful. Dr. Friedman took very good care of my cat. She was very knowledgeable of the issues Sterling was having and was able to resolve them. I loved how she took time to call and check in on Sterling's progress days after his procedure. In addition, Dr. Chang was great as well. She was very attentive and gave me a detailed report of Sterling's catheter removal process. Going forward WSV is definitely my choice for all of Sterling's medical needs. Thanks to Dr. Friedman, Dr. Chang and the entire Westside Veterinary Center staff from Sterling and myself!

I can’t say enough good things about this Westside Veterinary. Over the years I have had personal experiences at other vets in nyc of being upcharged during the most vulnerable moments in which my beloved dog was in need of treatment and felt taken advantage of by costly unnecessary tests. The team here is incredibly honest, compassionate, and skilled. They always focus on what’s truly necessary to diagnose and treat my Old English bulldog Lulu, never trying to upsell or push unnecessary tests or procedures. It’s so refreshing to have a vet I can completely trust. They explain everything clearly, take the time to answer all my questions, and genuinely care about both the animals and the people who love them. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a vet who puts integrity and quality care first.

I've been taking my very own pinky and the brain (i.e. dog and cat, respectively) here for a few years now to see Dr. Rosenthal and I have only good things to say. Not only is Dr. Rosenthal incredibly knowledgeable, she quite clearly cares for each and every animal as if it's her own. On more than one occasion, she has bent over backwards to fit my animals in for an appointment and seems unfazed by my kitty's quest for world domination. I also want to say that the staff is incredible. They're friendly and go above and beyond to make sure the animals (and humans) have as stress-free of an experience as possible.
