This experience was awful. They're money hungry and belittle you. They take your pet, dont allow you to go inside until they are ready to speak with you. They found my cat had cancer and it was my first time ever dealing with a sick pet. The doctor told me I had to go to a clinic in NJ (to a "friend" of his that breaks bread when he refers patients) knowing I don't drive and live in the BX. He Said no where else could do the procedure and that it was going to be an expensive surgery to remove the tumor . Approx. $5k. After telling me it was cancer they rushed me over to pay and told me to leave. I was boogers and snots while having to pay, questions went unanswered after paying them $100 to look at my cat. I went to a local clinic and got it done same day service for around $2k. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to this vet. If i can give it 0 stars I would. These are very sensitive procedures and for you to suggest what's in your best interests is foul.

I would leave negative if I could. Sat in waiting room for 45 mins. People came in after and were called back. Ghetto af offices. They don’t give af about you or your pet.

Armory dog and cat hospital bronx location has a wonderful staff who help answer any questions or concerns I might have in regards to my pets health or nutrition. The veterinarian doctors are also very polite, patient and professional. My pets usually get seen quickly and wait time if any aren't very long.

I was recommended this place by a coworker for their more affordable pricing. My chihuahua has a growth which I needed checked out because he was having trouble walking .we saw Dr.papak , which was the worst dr I have ever met in my 41 years of life. She immediately began stating all the test I needed to get for him without even telling what it might be or why I should have them done. She didn’t ask to see him walk I told her his foot he keeps biting on she said that’s not to worry bout no dressing no ointment she didn’t even look at it, not even a verbal tips on how to help that but only tells me that’s not what we have to worry about. But now both his feet have swollen up and he can’t walk. We agree on an X-ray 435.00 n she then tells me now he needs an ultrasound once again not even explaining what she read in the X-ray findings. She was so careless she didn’t even ask what type of dog he was his report states he’s a miniature pinscher. When he’s a pure breed chihuahua. I left there with 275 less (bc practice manager omitted whatever extra she added on the bill)with the same info I found on google. My dog has gotten worst since the visit. She was terrible and all about selling she’s in the wrong business she took an oath for this title and she should be ashamed. And she’s unprofessional smells like cigarettes left the office twice while I was there to go for a smoke. She’s a poor example of a vet. To call her a doctor is a disrespect to actual doctors. Again staff was way more helpful n caring then she was. Do not book an appt there with Dr.Papak. I will make sure to leave a review for her everywhere she’s at. Update: my dog passed 4 days after her visit.

1 star is as low as I could go in order to place my review here. 1 STAR IS BEING GENEROUS. Place already smelled like death. They threw my dog’s ashes away after assuring us that we would need not worry and could take as long as we needed to in order to collect the ashes. According to them, they sent the card to the wrong address so we never got ANY SORT of notice when they decided to throw my dog away. I was too young to know better but if I could go back 5 years I would have taken legal action. Charged an arm and a leg to have her body taken and cremation to be done. They took my dogs remains, and she wound up a Jane Doe at the end of it. I will be happy the day I hear this place goes under, makes me angry every time I walk past. Careless thieves.
