How to Save Money at URvet Care Upper East Side (Midtown Medical Center is Open 24/7)
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Wonderful experience. I brought in a stray kitten that I had found and Dr. Cortes, with the help of Ambar and Gianmarco, got him all squared away after midnight on a Sunday night. Highly recommend. Also Lizeth, client services coordinator, was lovely to talk to when the pros were treating my new kitten. Bring your pets here!

I brought in my anxious, pile-of-wrinkles English bulldog Scarlet, today, and we were welcomed with a warm “That must be Scarlet!” The staff went out of their way to make her feel at ease, even offering her water twice during our short visit. The doctor and vet tech were very knowledgeable, and I feel completely confident in their diagnosis and care plan. Highly recommend this clinic—thank you for taking such great care of Scarlet!

So greatful to the team at URvet (57 st.) The doctor's performed surgery for Linear obstruction on my kitty, Prince & They saved his life. URvet didn't charge me a dime for this surgery which other wise I wouldn't have been able to afford. God Bless the Doctors at URvet! I'am forever grateful to them.

Worst Vet Ever! STAY AWAY. Find a real vet. This place is nothing more than an overpriced doc-in-the-box. I brought my dog to their 24/7 Midtown location for an emergency bladder stone blockage, and they charged over $800 just for X-rays—absolutely absurd. They didn’t even show me the scans until I specifically asked to see them. Then, without much discussion, they pushed for an invasive three-day hospital stay and surgery, quoting $10,000 for the procedure. When I asked to review the $800 X-rays with the vet, he looked half-asleep and even pulled away when my dog tried to give him kisses. Thank God I’m a nurse, because I could immediately tell these people were scammers. When I challenged his medical judgment, he suddenly admitted that the stone might pass on its own and that surgery wasn’t urgent. That was enough for us—we didn’t trust them and left. On our way home, the CEO himself called me, demanding, “I don’t know why you left. Your dog’s kidneys will shut down without the surgery. You need to return right now.” This man has zero veterinary education - just a finance bro trying to scare me into paying his business’s rent with an overpriced surgery. When I refused, he hounded me with two more phone calls—at 4 AM. BLOCKED. Thankfully, we did our research and didn’t let them pressure us. We found a local, family-owned vet who performed the surgery our dog actually needed. Guess the price? Less than $3,000.Oh, and unlike URVet, they actually love animals. We later learned that URVet has a reputation for scamming people—and we believe it. DO NOT TRUST URVET. No CEO or COO should exploit sick animals and their owners for profit. SHAME ON YOU!

The service was absolutely amazing! Ally attended us with offering us beverages and comforted us regarding our situation. Dr. Johnson was very thorough and informative when it came to explaining the procedure. We received a lot of advice for what we should do when our cat comes home, and we felt very supported during the entire experience of having him at URvet Care
