I had a problem with my cat several weeks ago.She had red urine and kept running in and out of the litter box. I took her to a local vet and they told me she had a urinary tract infection. They put her on antibiotics, but she was still in pain. I took her to Dr. Glasser. He suggested taking an x-ray. It turned out that she had bladder stones! After Dr. Glasser did the surgery to take out the stones, she is doing great! She has to ear a special food for the rest of her life to make sure the stones don't come back. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Glasser and his staff. Pros: Cat is doing much better now Cons: No cons at all. more

He has cared for my turtles - including surgery. A top notch reptile and amphibian specialist. Compassionate Dr. Glasser and nice staff. Highest possible recommendation.\r I plan on bringing my two cats to him. Top notch man who stands out in the field of veterinary medicine. Bring your animals to him for great care and peace of mind that you are doing the right thing. more

I found a stray cat in my yard a couple of months ago that was in very bad shape. He was all bitten up by other cats and full of fleas and ear mites. I wanted to try and help him, but I did not have a lot of money. I took him to the Steinway Court Vet and Dr. Glasser told me that he was in a very bad condition. When he told me all that was wrong I thought I would have to put him to sleep. Dr. Glasser told me that there is a society called New York Save, that helps pets and people in need. To make a long story short, Dr. Glasser and New York Save financed all of his vet care and now I am in love with "Lucky" and the Steinway Court Vet! Pros: Helpful more

I was both a little surprised and expectant of some of the negative reviews posted regarding Dr. Glasser. I can only speak of my personal experiences with the Steinway Court Vet staff. They have been mostly positive. I can understand that someone who expects their vet to douse their pet with the same love and affection that they themselves provide will not find Dr. Glasser warm and fuzzy. However, he is efficient and effective. And to me, that is really more important. I have been bringing my cat to him for the past nearly 4 years as he came highly recommended from several people who came to him only after having bad experiences with other vets in the surrounding Queens vicinity. I don't expect him to get all lovey dovey with my cat, just as I don't expect my doctor to be that way with me either. Someone has to be the objective voice here. He has given my cat top quality care. Yes, he stresses dental cleaning but that is because animals, like humans, need to have healthy and clean teeth. Many diseases can initiate with poor oral care. I see it as preventive treatment. Is it expensive? Yes, it is. But his prices are comparable to other vets in the area. He has personally returned my phone calls within a few hours whenever I have called with a question. Moreso, his office has always accomodated me within 12 or so hours in emergencies. Dr. Glasser never seemed rushed when I brought my cat in. But he's efficient. He tells me what needs to be done, what he thinks the problem is and then if necessary, he phones me personally in case she needs extra treatment and quotes me a price before he administers it. Health care is expensive for us people and for our pets too. I dislike shelling 400-500 bucks every 6 months for wellness exams and dental cleanings but I want my cat to be healthy and be around for a long time. Otherwise, why have a pet if you can't care for him/her just like you would for yourself? more

i have been taking both my girls (kitty cat and little doggy) to Dr Glasser for almost 15 yrs now. i love Dr Glasser. he is a very thorough and astute Dr. he may lack a certain cuddly bedside manner in some respects, but if one can get past that i know my little ones in very good hands. after first trying out other vets in the area i found him to be tip top. and, after one or two after-hours emergency trips to the animal medical center in NYC (highway robbery if you ask me) i felt even more so that Dr Glasser is the best vet in NYC. more

Ours are family and we don't spare anything when it comes to providing for them. Dr Glasser has gone way above and beyond normal practices in making sure that our family stays healthy. And by the way for those of you protesting dental care, your pet is as vulnerable as you are when it comes to disease associated with dental neglect. We have our dog's teeth cleaned regularly whether scheduled or as a part of another procedure in avoiding putting our loved ones through more anesthesia than is absolutely necessary.\r \r I met Dr Glasser at a tennis club years ago and I remember one Saturday afternoon when he arrived at the club after work wearing his work clothing asking if anyone wanted a large snake. One of his patients demanded that the snake be destroyed as it had outgrown it's living conditions. As he is a true animal lover Dr. Glasser couldn't do it for that reason and he labored to find a home for this very large and difficult to place animal. He ultimately found it a home where more

I recently bought a new puppy! As you all know a puppy from a pet store might not be that healthy. My puppy came with a few problems, but nothing that was not able to be taken care of by the right vet. I am thankfull enough to know a vet whom i have used throughout my life. My first dog who lived for seventeen years lived a very healthy and long life thanks from the help of Dr. Glasser. Thank God there are still people who really care about the health of animals and care about the owners of their pets. I have never felt more welcomed or sure about my vet and i highly recommend the love and proficient Doctor as Dr. Glasser. more

Don't let the nice webpage and office fool you. My overall experience there was more than awful, I was only there once and will not be going back. Pros: good location Cons: all around bad place more

Steinway Court Vet totally suprised me. My husband and I lived in Manhattan for years and we spent a lot of money on pet care at the "best of the best". When we moved to Queens we continued to bring our cats into Manhattan simply because we thought it had to be more state-of-the-art than what was available in our area. more

This veterinarian tried every test that he could come up with to find out my cat's illness and charged me tremendously. Later, I took my cat to another veterinarian, and all he had to find out was one simple test. more

My dog Bunco began whimpering and I fingered out that the problem was one of his k9 teeth were coming lose and becoming painful for him. I took him to Steinway and Dr.Dossenvill fixed him up quickly. Bunco was very happy so I think I'll make this my permanent Vet. Thanks Dr.Dossenvill. Five out of Five. more

The Staff and Veterinarian at Steinway Court Veterinarian is top notch. My experiences have been different than that of the previous post. If a Urinalysis doesn't show kidney failure it must have something to do with the lab analyzes the samples. Dr. Glasser has always taken great care of my pets and keeps them in great condition. They even saved my stray kitten from fatal distemper disease with a blood transfusion. They also took in animals saved from New Orleans, if that's not compassion and professionalism I don't know what is. Pros: professional Cons: busy, expensive more

I took my dog to this place and his condition went worse. They did the unalysis and all the tests, and coudn't find the kidney failure that my dog had. After my was out of the hospital, and I believed that he would be better.... but a few days later his condition got very bad and I took him to the other hospital and then I found out about the condition. They charged me a lot and my dog never gets better! I will NEVER NEVER NEVER take my pets to this place again. Cons: no love for animals, very expensive more
