Westside Animal Hospital

I bought my male kitten in 2024 to this office via the friend of animals voucher for a neuter. The office was quick to reply for an appointment request and was able to offer me an appointment within a reasonable time (in NJ spay/neuter appointments are booked weeks in advance). After the initial consultation with Dr Perez, who reviewed my cat’s vaccines and did blood work, my cat was able to be neutered the following week. The front desk receptionist was very courteous and kept me up to date on my pet’s condition. My kitten had a quick and easy recovery and was running around playing after three days (of course not recommended) but it’s been a year and all has been well. If I lived in NYC this would be a clinic that I would take my cats for regular visits.

Used Friends of Animals certificate at this location for my cat’s spay back in July. It’s been about a month and my cat recovered beautifully. There is a required pre-exam before the actual appointment, about 2 weeks prior. This is an additional cost not included in the certificate, as well as micro-chip, etc. All total I spent about $700, which is a far cry from my days of using the now defunct-Whisker certificate which totaled to $280 (used at Brooklyn Roots pre-pandemic). Still, the cost I think was worth it given the care, speed and quality of the provider. Low-cost is not necessarily what I would mark them as however. Dr. Perez was a little brisk during the initial exam, but I had a good feeling once I saw how small the hospital was. It seems only a few animals can be housed at a time, which I vastly preferred to a larger hospital. The front attendant was super nice and answered all of my questions when I initially called to get a price estimate. Scheduling was fast and easy, I was able to book same day for appointments within the same month. Dr Perez was excellent at the stitching, and just from previous experience with animals on anesthesia, I have a hunch he didn’t ‘overdo’ it as my cat was groggy but very alert/aware immediately after I picked her up. She was trying to zoom around only a few hours after we got home. By 10-15 days she was completely healed, no hernia or protrusions. Westside is great and I wouldn’t hesitate bringing my cats here again!

Got my 6months old kitten neutered few days ago and I was very satisfied! The assistant at the front desk was very helpful, nice and patient. She answered all of my questions and even called the day after his surgery to check up on him. Dr.Perez was a calm and knowledgeable vet he made me feel at ease. I used a friends of animal certificate here and the additional fees was affordable compared to other places. I would definitely recommend here. Not sure why there is so many negative reviews.

Got my cat neutered here with Friends of Animals certificate. Also got him vaccinated. The staff here was so friendly and very kind to my cat. They were transparent with all the pricing over the phone, and the prices were very reasonable compared to other vets. The man at desk was very cool. It was quick and easy. I recommend going here. The vet was so smart and gave me a bunch of helpful information.
