New Rochelle Animal Hospital

I called the same day to make a last minute appointment to get my puppy his shots. They scheduled me immediately and invited me in. The lobby is open and welcoming, with doggie treats ready and a really chill cat named Toby just lounging around (he lives there). The receptionist Sam was helpful in getting our paperwork processed. We waited a bit, but there was an injured dog being treated so it was very understandable. Dr. Doherty came in and my puppy was smitten with her. She was very thorough and answered all of my neurotic new puppy questions patiently. She informed me about his necessary vaccinations, as well as some supplementary ones that may be helpful, without seeming pushy or like she was trying to make a sale. She even brought the invoice in to review so I knew my costs up front, rather than after the fact. Pet ownership is expensive, so I really appreciated her consideration in reviewing costs. Overall, the place is welcoming, professional and definitely focused on the wellbeing of your petbaby. Oh, and they called two days later just to make sure my puppy was recovering well from his vaccinations. Excellent customer service, I would definitely recommend them!

Best vet experience I’ve had so far, especially since change of ownership. Our cats, of which one has anxiety issues, seemed both pretty comfortable with dr. Doherty. She also followed up with us after the visit to see how cats were doing! Great service!

New Rochelle Animal Hospital is great. Dr. Schwartzreich is amazing. He is so thorough, caring and understanding. We have been bringing our English bulldog there for a couple years now and Dr. Schwartzreich has by far been the best doctor. Our dog has skin issues and ever since he’s been seeing Dr. Schwartzreich his condition is under control. We recently had to bring our dog in because of a growth on his face and Dr. Schwartzreich squeezed him in for surgery. He explained the issue and also went over the homecare. He goes over any questions and/​or concerns that we had. Dr. Schwartzreich always follows up after visits. He truly cares about animals. We are very grateful for him!

I absolutely love this vet office. The doctors and staff are wonderful. I live in NYC and travel here to take my dog Phoenix in for her annual exams and vaccinations. Phoenix was spayed here in 2014 by Doctor Myles Leeds (who has retired), I left her overnight and knew she was in good hands. At my recent visit, I met Doctor Katie Doherty. She has a very warm and caring attitude. She answered all of my questions and concerns without making me feel rushed. I would recommend this vet to any of my family or friends with pets.

Lucky New Rochelle. Dr. Schwartzreich is a wonderful and caring Doctor. He also has been able to put together a wonderful staff from the efficient front desk to the caregivers — all professional, polite and obvious animal lovers. After seeing numerous vets, we found Dr. Schwartzreich. He greatly improved the quality of life for our dog. I would not hesitate to recommend this animal hospital — I wish I could rate with 10 stars!!!

This is a horrible place i brought my dog here in April and all they did was rip me off because i was on vacation and payed the bill over the phone. never treated her for what she needed to be treated for or did blood work .now my dog is extremely sick and needing surgery because of an undetected illness. That if would of been treated back in April could of been solved with simple antibiotics. so if you love your animals do your self a favor and bring them some place else

My pup and I saw Dr. Schwartzreich when he was with another practice. Not only did he address the emergency that brought us in for a visit, but had suggestions about my pup’s overall condition (that had never been mentioned by the vet I usually saw). I was disappointed when he left that practice, but have no doubt his new practice will be a success. I’ll be referring anyone I know who is looking for a vet in the area.

My pup has been seen by Dr. Dougherty and she has proven herself to be caring and knowledgeable. She even follows up with phone calls to check up on my dog after appointments. Initially when I first brought my dog to NRAH, he was sick with kennel cough from the shelter and she has been amazing to him from the first appointment. The pricing is fair and they don’t push products or services. Prior to each service there is clear communication about the pricing and what the outcome should/​will be. I definitely recommend!

New Rochelle animal hospital is great. Dr Paul schwartzreich is a great dr. I have to say he made me feel very happy I brought my dog (Izzy) there. Very caring, understanding and compassionate .
You can tell he loves animals. I feel very confident recommending him to my family and friends. The staff there is also great. Everyone there is happy to help felt like family. If your looking for a vet this is the best choice you can make if you love your animals like I do. Thank you so much Dr Paul

If you are looking for a new vet or are looking for a better vet than the one you currently have, you should try this place. I brought my dog there after having gone to different vets in the neighborhood and I was impressed by the quality of medical care and the level of compassion Dr Schwartzreich had for my dog, he definitely comes across as an animal lover. After that positive experience, I brought another one of my dogs to New Rochelle Animal Hospital and paid almost ½ of what I was quoted at other vets for the same procedure. This place is definitely worth a try.

Very impressed with Dr. Schwartzreich– He is a good and decent man. Have always had dogs, and like the consistency of of a vet who knows his business, treats you fairly and is patient and compassionate with my animal, (who is my best friend). Dr. Schwartzreich fills a big void in New Rochelle for a competent Vet. Highly recommend!

I knew Dr Schwartzreich in grade school. He had a royal standard poodle named Shana, that was without doubt one of the best dogs ever. She went everywhere with him, always going out on walks. This dog was one of the «crew». My point is that I know this vet is an animal lover, who is in the business of medical practice for animals only because he loves animals. That’s the kind of vet you should support, because he will use your support to save and heal as many animals as he can.

I had I very good experience my first time here when I saw Dr. Leeds. He was very kind and answered all my questions. So I was pleased and confident to bring my second dog here.
Well…let me tell you. I will never return again! The receptionist or vet technician, is so rude and rotten. I called to inquire about an appointment and asked some clarifying questions regarding my puppy. I was met with a nasty condescending tone insisting that my puppy who already was seen the week before needed to come back a week later. My puppy already received his first shots and dewormed again and was given a clean bill of health. His fecal results also came back negative (meaning healthy as well). So why was I being treated so negatively? Also, insisting my healthy puppy come back one week later after already seeing the vet; I don’t know. Sounds like they want more money to me.
But I will never go back there again and I suggest the same for others. When you pay for services that are quite costly you would hope to be treated with a little respect.
I’ve already found another establishment and they too informed me of how many customers switch to them, because of their poor experiences. Again, Dr. Leeds is wonderful but the rest run away!

An excellent place to take your pet. We took our newly adopted dog for a basic check up. The vet was very helpful and was very good at addressing our concerns and helping us know what we should look for (as far as how to check if he is the proper weight, etc). They also recommended the heart worm/​flea tick medicine with no pressure. The prices for the medicines from them were not too ridiculous, maybe what you would pay online with priority or 2-​day shipping. So the fact you get it that day at the vet, and you don’t have to wait, it’s probably worth it. Also their paperwork states they will be happy to mail meds to you if you need it.
More about how you know they care: We went on a Saturday, and paid to have his stool sample analyzed, to make sure he was healthy. On Monday they called back and said he tested positive for some worms, and that he needed some medicines. They said we could come in and get them. We took our dog with us, and rather than just give us the medicines and send us on our way, they actually took us back and the vet came and explained what medicines he was getting and why. Also, she explained how we should administer them. She then also recommend a better heartworm medicine that helped control the worms. They really want the best for your pet.
Then this blew me away. They actually called me the next day to ask how our dog was, and to find out if we had any questions. Even though I didn’t, it was still nice to know that they would take the time to do such a thing.
Also, after walking my dog and hearing from another owner what they charged him at a vet in the Bronx, I would not hesitate to recommend them. You shouldn’t be afraid to take your animal here. I think you will love your experience.

I took my girlfriends dog, Flower, here because my girlfriend had to work. Flower had been sick with a stomach bug for a little under a week. Despite my reassurance, my girlfriend was anxious about Flower’s health. She was on a tight budget at the time, but was desperate to make sure her dog was taken care of (understandably so). She called New Rochelle Animal Hospital and expressed her fiscal constraints in addition to her concern for Flower’s well being. The receptionist, in turn, walked her through the issue and suggested several home remedies before suggesting she bring her dog in, giving her the earliest appointment the hospital had the following day.
I got to the animal hospital with slight trepidation, as I have never been to a vet before, and certainly not with someone else’s animal. When I got to the Hospital the receptionist was warm and walked me through the information that I needed to provide. The doctor, saw Flower after approximately 20 minutes. The vet gave Flower a once over took her temperature and supplied me with antibiotics. The vet calmly explained that the dog was most likely fine, and that the antibiotics were precautionary. The doctor stated that if the issue worsened I should call back and if her condition did not improve in three days, I should come back in. The vet was very friendly, did not push any tests on me, nor did she price gouge me in any way. It was truly a wonderful experience. It’s nice to know we have found an honest friendly vet center. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
p. s. the dog is perfectly healthy and sitting contentedly next to me right now.

I do not usually write reviews, but now that I have a 6 month old puppy, and have been looking for someone to point me in the right direction, I see how helpful it is. I needed a place I could trust to get her spayed, as I’ve heard of many mishaps with surgeries from other animal clinics. After trying a couple of unsatisfying vets in the past couple of months, I took a chance and tried the New Rochelle Animal Hospital, and from the moment I spotted the welcoming sign on the building, I had a good feeling about the place.
The staff is friendly and caring (the type of people who actually enjoy their jobs). And, they gave me no problem providing an estimate for their services. Dr. Leeds is excellent doctor, which is found few and far between. He promised that the puppies I brought to him were in good hands, and he delivered.
My dog got at her stitches one weekend and had to be brought to an emergency veterinary hospital. The following Monday, Dr. Leeds called me to say that he had heard what had happened and wanted to make sure everything was OK. Impressed, I will now be using the New Rochelle Animal Hospital as my regular vet.
