Northside Veterinary Clinic

TaMI

After living in NY for 2 years and trying two different vets, we have finally found the one that fit with our holistic, natural and vegan approach we want to our little one. We chose Dr. Barbara Eisner, and she totally understood our approach. She didn't wanna sell us anything and even she was aligned with us about over vaccinating and homemade vegan diet, also she preferred to make titers first instead of vaccinating our dog. So, we finally went out of the vet happy for the first time since we live here. We'll come back for sure, totally recommended!

I recently had to put my cat to sleep due to health issues that had reached a point of no return. I made the extremely hard decision to put him to sleep. While they were empathetic about taking him home to take a day to decide; I was shocked by the totally crass and unprofessional sales tactics they forced upon me at my most vulnerable to upsell me on cremation options. While the cat was still alive, they handed me a laminated sheet of options that had no pricing listed. They made me feel like I could not put him to sleep without paying for everything (understandable) including the cremation (predatory). I felt forced to pay for cremation with no clue how much it even cost. The empathy they offered before was gone. I had to decide so I could be charged. The possibility of time was not an option. After going for checkups for years I was appalled at how I was treated. If I get another pet I will not be going back!

We love Northside! They've taken care of our cat Lewis since he was a kitten and always treat him with love and care, even when he's being cranky! All of the employees clearly love animals so much and go above and beyond to make their patients and families feel great.

I wish I found Dr Eisner sooner. She bought me some time with my dog and I may have had even more if I found her earlier. If your dog has cancer I highly recommend seeing her. My dog, Princess Leia, has a fibrosarcoma in her face. This cancer is practically impossible to get rid of but also unlikely to metastasize- the tumor just eventually gets so big it impedes your quality of life and they have to be put down. After her surgery and radiation the tumor grew back faster than we had hoped. The tumor broke the skin on her face but wasn’t impeding anything and she still acted like herself so we wanted some options to keep her comfortable and to try to close up the skin to protect from infection. When we asked her oncologist what to do he offered nothing. Said just to feed her her favorite foods and enjoy the time we had while we had it. When I was at a holistic pet store getting her CBD refill, an employee recommended Dr Eisner. She gave us options for things to put on her skin and it did finally scab over. She gave us herbs that can shrink tumors but warned her tumor was so large it may not work or at best might slow it down. Weeks later her tumor has not grown a millimeter. She also helped come up with a diet for Leia that would not feed her cancer. All for an extremely reasonable price. Leia is eating on her own without coercion and chasing squirrels again. I thought Leia had days left when I brought her in and was just hoping to keep her slightly more comfortable. Now she may have weeks or even months. If we were on these herbs right after her surgery we may have had even more time with her. I wish I found her sooner but I’m glad I found her when I did.

I've been taking my dog here since we got her, and I can't say enough good things about Northside Vet. Their staff is super friendly, genuinely cares about the pets that are brought in, and is very responsive via email and phone. It's a great feeling knowing that our dog will continue to receive such great care from such great people
