Uptown Veterinary Associates

Beware all vet techs, vet assistants, and vet receptionists—do not work here. Ina Obernesser is an abuser. Her hospital is a revolving door due to the abusive way she treats her staff. I don’t mean to be intense but “abuse” is literally the best way to describe the way she behaves. Screaming, threatening, and gaslighting will become a typical day for you. She treats her patients and clients fine, but her staff like trash. Beware.

Our cats love it here! Both times we’ve walked in with no wait and have been taken to our own private room! The assistant puts out treats and a toy and catnip while we wait for the vet. We never feel rushed and the vets are so caring!

I took my puppy Francis in for his first visit this past Saturday. Everyone was SUPER sweet and accommodating to both of us. I really appreciated this because I was a little nervous, not knowing what to expect. I'm confident that my relationship with this establishment will be a positive one and they will take the very best care of my lil one. Sincerely, Frankie's Mom. 🙂

I brought my dog Viola to Dr. Obernesser from another practice. Dr. Obernesser not only treated my dog, but found cancer in my dog that had not been previously diagnosed. She referred me to an oncologist and we were able to save her. Untreated, she would have been gone in a few weeks. Not only she is fantastic, but she referred me to the right people. I have two regrets. One is that I didn't know about her sooner, the second is that I am limited to only 5 stars. She deserves 100.

BEST VET IN THA' HOOD! I can't say enough about Dr. Obernesser, Dr. Sullivan, and the entire staff at Uptown Vets. Short version: THEY ARE AMAZING. CARING. THOUGHTFUL. SINCERE & REASONABLE. Long version: The other day my dog wasn't acting right after a 6 mile schlep thru Central Park. I watched him for awhile at home, took some videos of him just in case i needed to show what was wrong & had a really bad feeling. My dog is also 60lbs & i live on the 5th floor of a 5 floor walk-up. basically i wanted to walk him over to the vet before i felt like god-forbid he'd collapse cause there's no way i'm carrying him. Long story short we get there & I just ask to sit in the waiting room for awhile because I feel safer there in the event that anything should happen. Without hesitation, Dr. Obernesser comes over, asks what's wrong, and immediately checks on my dog. Feels him up, looks in his mouth & reassures me that I can go home and in the event that his condition stays the same come back before they close...i left feeling better that at least i didn't kill my dog....instead of going back later that afternoon called up & made an appointment for a thorough exam just to really know what was going on. Tues we went to see Dr. Obernesser, Kircher got a full once over and was prescribed anti-inflammatory & one other Rx. i honestly thought it was going to cost me a fortune. like i'll be living on PBJ break what's left of bank kind of expensive BUT NO. Paid for the visit and Rx but more importantly the feeling of knowing that this is place where they CARE FIRST and take the treatment in phases and reasonable steps. This is truly a neighborhood vet where the staff cares about not only your pet but you too. I can't say enough great things about uptown vets. 5 years of taking care of the king of the couch aka my dog and I couldn't be happier. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
