Hudson Valley Veterinary Dermatology - NYC

Cannot recommend Hudson Valley and Dr Budgin enough. Prior to finding Dr Budgin we were at another dermatologist practice in NYC and spent thousands trying to clear our pup Fitzgerald’s skin issues only to have it be worse. After just one visit with Dr Budgin his skin was in better shape with her plan and after his second visit he had completely cleared up! Not only was her plan of action extremely more effective than the other practice but she also showed much more care and warmness towards our pup. We were able to get him a skin allergy test and on immunotherapy under Dr Budgin’s care and his quality of life is so much better. Also want to shout out her staff- they all have always been extremely kind and helpful. Grateful to Dr Budgin and her staff for getting Fitzgerald to a point where he has normal clear skin and can just be the happy go lucky pup he is !!

We have searched high and low for a doctor that can address our Frenchie’s skin needs. Dr Budgin is cautious and careful with recommending unnecessary shots or oral medication unless absolutely necessary. After years of trying a food elimination diet that was not working, Dr Budgin did an allergy test and said we could consider immunotherapy. The process was very smooth and they send it to your doorstep with clear instructions. Bruce has been on immunotherapy for a year along with apoquel and some other minor care instructions for his skin. He hasn’t really had a flare up and summer is usually his flaring up months. It was covered by his insurance. Dr Budgin and her team have been vital in helping Bruce to be comfortable without itchies ! Plus he loveeeees all the vet techs and loves Dr Budgin who calls him Handsome Bruce.

Dr. Budgin has been unbelievably helpful throughout our dog Chia’s lengthy battle with a series of skin conditions, the result of an underlying autoimmune disease that she diagnosed. Chia’s disease has resulted in a number of unpredictable symptoms and Dr. Budgin has worked closely with us to address them carefully, thoughtfully and in a scientific manner each step of the way. Without Dr. Budgin I don’t even want to think about what could have happened to Chia! We are so grateful for the care she and her wonderful team have provided and can feel secure knowing that Chia’s long term health is being monitored by Dr. Budgin.

I highly recommend Dr. Budgin and her team. My little guy had a pretty severe protein allergy that eluded my regular vet for months. He was incredibly itchy, had pink sores on his tummy, recurring ear infections and even lost the pigmentation around his mouth(!!). Dr. Budgin was thorough & invested and got my boy on the mend in no time. No more scratching. No more ear infections. No more pink sores. And pristine, gorgeous black around his mouth and nose. tl; dr Sometimes you need an expert and Dr. Budgin is the expert you want in your corner.

We recently adopted our dog, Miss Molly and took her here hoping to find a solution. Molly had developed extreme itchiness and she’d lick her body day and night until exhaustion. We live in the West Village and go to our regular vet for routine checkups, but realized we needed a second option. So we carefully searched online for vet dermatologist specialists in the city and picked here as our first choice. Nice clean, professional office settings, friendly for dogs and cats, although the waiting room was packed! All staff members were passionate pet lovers and incredibly attentive to Molly. Dr. Budgin’s excellent bedside manner showed us how much she cares about not only Molly, but also us! After our first visit, we had lots to do at home, but now it's been a little over 2 weeks, and Molly is finally at peace. No more itching! 10/10 recommend! Dr. Budgin and her teams dedication and expertise deeply touched us!
