The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center

My dog was transferred to AMC from Blue Pearl as an emergency case. She needed diagnostics that Blue Pearl had neither the equipment, nor the staff to perform! My dog was very quickly stabilized at AMC, she was hospitalized for 4 days. I was updated about her condition 2x per day by a member of her medical team of 5 veterinarians. My questions were answered. Dr. Duncan, who updated me on most of the days my dog was there, was really patient, and answered every question, even when I asked it again! I was able to visit in the evening and feed her when one day she didn't eat! I was able to walk her outside, so that she would know that we were still family! My dog spent 5 months in a shelter before I took her home, so it is important that she knows that I am there! All in all, they did a great job, and all the assistants treated her very gently. She needed a new treatment plan as what we were doing wasn't enough, and she also had an acupuncture treatment, which was something I had been considering. Now that she is home and I am continuing with the medications at different times, I can really appreciate how much work goes into it. I have been lucky to have a super healthy dog, but things happen, and they get older so you have to be prepared.

I am visiting NYC and my service dog started presenting very concerning signs of a neurological problem. I brought him into the emergency and the following day he was transferred to Neurology. Once in neuro he was under the care of Dr. Muller, who I cannot praise enough!! We were all very concerned about his state at first but since being admitted he was doing better each day. I was finally able to bring him home yesterday, and although he is still not totally himself he is on the mend! This would not have been possible had it not been for the quick thinking of the doctor and the amazing care and love he was given while staying at AMC.
At first I thought this was horrible timing because we were not at home, now I believe it helped save his life. This neurology team is truly amazing.

Excellent animal hospital! I feel fortunate to live just a quick trip over the bridge to AMC. Over several decades and many pets, whenever we've had an emergency or needed to see a specialist we've gone to AMC. We've always received great care and the staff has been consistently fantastic.

Wait times can be long in the ER but just like in human hospitals, everyone is assessed and the most critical must be seen first so, while it can be tough to wait with a sick or injured pet, it's also understandable.

I came in here to the ER in April 2023, with my 15yo Jack Russell. He had a big belly tumor and was losing blood and looked close to dying.

The doctor who saw us, I forgot her name, was very gentle and yet very clear in our options.
I appreciated the clarity of options SO much.

She also gave him some herbal supplements for the bleeding but his prognosis wasn't good, like a few weeks.

I continued giving him the supplements, yunnan bayau, and the bleeding stopped within 2 days and his energy picked up.

He ended up living well until December 2023, which was WAY past what I thought he'd make it.

I am SO grateful for the doctor's and hospital's care and help, and enjoyed the precious days with my pup in peace. He died in my arms the most peaceful death🩵

Saved our dog's life! Everyone was so incredibly kind and helpful. The surgery team was so skilled, the ICU team took such good care of him around the clock, the reception team was friendly and quick... even the woman who checked us in on the ground floor even referred to our pet as our baby, which was a small choice that meant a lot to us. Great communication! Doctors called us routinely with updates and explained everything really clearly to us. They very patiently answered all of our questions and were very available to us. This place is incredible! We hope we never need to go back, but if we do, we'd have total trust in them again.

My 12 year old yorkie needed emergent endoscopy for a nail that he ate. My local vet recommended endoscopy versus traditional surgery. My dog had been to AMC for a few procedures in the past and had great care.
The next morning after finding everything out, we were in the AMC waiting room.
A few hours later, he went in for surgery. I received a call from the surgeon that everything went as expected. I could not be happier.
My dog is old, and has issues with tracheal collapse. This was my greatest fear going into a surgery where he would need general anesthesia. I trusted AMC and my trust was well earned. I could not be more grateful.
Staff was wonderful too.

Dr. Spector and the surgery team did a great job taking care of our boy Champ. They answered all of our questions and reassured us that Champ would do very well in recovery, which he did! They called us twice daily with updates on Champ’s progress and even called after Champ came home to see how he was doing. We are grateful to have had such a great team taking care of our boy!
