All vets here are of the highest calibre. You won't find a vet like Dr. Johnson in most places these days, let alone in expensive Manhattan. We have taken our dog to him for over 10 years, and credit a lot of his robust health to his care at Mercy. Every time we have taken him to another vet (only because we were out of town or he wasn't open), we have experienced everything from fraudulent billing practices to outright dishonesty and performing unnecessary procedures on him (or recommending them). If your pet does not need a service, it will not be recommended at Mercy. Period. Many vets in this city don't give a hoot about your pet's welfare. They see a sick pet come in and - especially if carried in by an owner unversed in medical knowledge -- they see huge dollar signs appearing before their eyes. Let's see what can they recommend to you -- an unnecessary x-ray here, an unnecessary hospital stay there, an unnecessary test...They know you will pay out the wazoo when your dear little one is sick. NOT HERE. We have gotten 2nd opinions at Mercy that saved us tons of money AND most importantly, avoided unnecessary procedures on poor doggie. And in the end, he is way healthy for his age (12 years). Mercy is up to their eyeballs in business. So if you are able to get your pet seen by them, consider yourself lucky and in the best hands.
Pros: It doesn't get any better than this. Anywhere.
Cons: of course no parking. You're in manhattan!
