I first found Lefferts when I moved to Queens and needed a new local vet. I took my dog and cat there for regular check ups and they were always professional and courteous, affordable too.

Just over two years ago my dog Faye was diagnosed with lymphoma and when I first worked with Dr Kevin Birchler. Dr Birchler is hands down the best vet I have ever worked with in my entire life. He always was kind and understanding, patient and never forcing any decisions on me. He is a regular guy who just happens to be a vet, he wants what’s best for you and your pet. Sadly, Faye passed just last week after her cancer became more aggressive and she let me know it was her time.

The staff at Lefferts is second to none, on the day Faye crossed the rainbow bridge they were compassionate and caring. I picked up her ashes today and also received a card in the mail from them. Upon opening the card I expected a pretty generic sympathy card but instead I was left speechless by it. They had taken impressions of Faye’s paws and placed them in the card, all of the staff left handwritten notes expressing their sympathy. I was floored.

Needless to say, if you want a practice that really knows how to take care of your animals while also being human about it, look no further.
