NYC Veterinary Specialists reviews and complaints
Malpractice, Negligence, Abuse
NYC Veterinary Specialists failed to make a proper prognosis for my sweet cat that had lymphoma. Dr. Oberthaler spent 3 minutes with my cat (as per their records) before injecting her with a lethal dose of chemo. At 5am in the morning my cat's stomach perforated which they left unattended until 10am, when I came in to visit her. They told me she would die...

I took my dog here after he hit his head rather hard. After spending countless hours, X-rays etc. I was informed by Lauren Stoltze (vet) that it was not an issue to take him home, she was not concerned at all and he should be fine.
4 hours later my dog and best friend died.
I proceeded to contact an attorney only for NYC Veterinary Specialists to send an email on behalf of Ms. Lauren Stoltze outlining that she highly recommended that he spent the night in ICU.
This was not the case. She assured us that there was no issue and was "very confident" that there will be no issue. This clearly was not the case and my family is devastated.
This is the only experience I have had with this vet and unfortunately the only one I know of open 24 hours in NYC. I highly suggest asking or demanding another specialist who will be honest with you.

I know the owners of this little dog. They loved him so much. Unfortunately it was late, and they had to go to this vet without first reading all the complaints. Then Dr Stoltze had the audacity to lie to them the next day. What kind of a chop shop is this? Why isn't the Veterinary Board investigating them?
