Reviews of Community Veterinary Medicine, LLC Veterinarian (Veterinarian)

Chef Colon

Staff is very attentive and professional. They recognized my pet and her history. I went for a Dental , blood work and antibiotics including visit, my bill was reasonable compared to my past experience in other practices. Definitely recommend this place to all! $450 was well spent for my dog/best friend!

Very kind staff

Dr. Krieger is a truly gifted veterinarian, skilled, instinctive and empathetic. Her fees are startlingly reasonable, as any New Yorker accustomed to veterinary services in this city can attest. Most importantly, her diagnosis is accurate and her treatment plans are effective. This practice is a community blessing NOT in disguise.

Wonderful people

Absolutely hands down the best service from a veterinarian I have ever had. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr.Krieger was excellent with my dog and showed him the most compassion I have seen from veterinarian in a long time. The pricing is very reasonable for their services. I fully recommend community veterinarian medicine to anyone who is in need of someone to take care of their animals.

Had a wonderful experience today. The nurse and doctor were knowledgeable and efficient. My cat was calm and allowed the nurse to cut his nails which is something he usually doesn’t allow. The cost was very affordable. I would recommend and continue my cats care here.

We adopted our dog there.Enough said.

I brought my pet couple of days ago and he was very sick and when I said I can not afford it, the Dr just left the room and I had to wait 2 hours for her to finally talk to me with such an attitude...when I asked if my pet can get the medication they refused and said I had to pay in full..on top of it they wrote on the record that I refused the medication but they are the ones who did not want me to have a payment plan..some of us do not have money....and it would be nice if you would not do things for money...I am not saying that this vet is expensive but the dr and staff attitude totally changed,...I was ignored...I had to go else where to get my pet medication...the least you could do is not being rude and do not lie about me refusing to give medication to my pet...

Very happy with their services

Awesome stuff!

I have 3 senior cats, all with varying degrees of friendliness. The entire staff was pleasant, professional , and kind. All three of my cats barely complained (except for the shots) while in the office. It is a testament to me when my giant scardy cat that is afraid of his own shadow was calm and willing to let her examine and carry him. I have gone to the ASPCA and the Humane Society, to other private Vets and never have I felt so confident in the care my fur babies received at a fair price. I will recommend this clinic time and time again.

I recognized my 16 year old cat was not herself. My usual vet had nothing I could manage over the next few days so we went to Community Veterinary Medicine. Sadly the vet, who was on vacation had a fill-in who was in a word, dreadful. When I heard him tell a previous patient "be sure to take a man with you" my eyebrows just about shot off of my face. The tech said, "I know what you heard but it's not like that" and by way of apology told me the first of many times that the practicing vet was on vacation. The vet (Dr Herbert Salm) was pressed for time and took brief notes: "anemic, dehydrated, old cat" ("anemic" because I told him...) He then turned the kennel upside down to dump Inka on the table. I told him "be careful" Took her temperature so roughly, jamming the thermometer into her so that she cried. Shaved her neck by half to draw blood. (Insisted on leaving the room with her to do that, based on my responses) Did not physically examine her (as in: check her eyes, open her mouth to look at teeth and gums) Then informed me he could do nothing because he had no bloodwork in front of him. (Had he done any of those things, he might have had a clue as to some of her problems) He wouldn't even clip her nails! And I could make another appointment. Yes, with my usual vet. Still wasn't ok w how my cat was after getting some food into her, so we went off to an emergency room. The cat that Dr Salm barely examined narrowly avoided being hospitalized. She's pretty sick. When I called to alert the office there what occurred, the tech said the exact right thing which is to apologize and say that he hoped it did not reflect badly on the practice. Oh, but it does. The vet left Dr Salm in charge of her practice, presumably not knowing much about him. I found him to be crude, sexist and brusque. And should not be handling animals, at all. He treated them like product. Not Recommended At All. ***update*** After not hearing a word from the vet and/or supervisor for a month, I walked over in person to pursue a refund. After waiting 1/2 hr, I was told because I "saw the vet"-- who did nothing, the charges and fees stand. On top of the emergency room expenses incurred because the vet did nada. So what this tells me is this is a take-the-money-and-run operation. Pet owners of Hamilton Heights, you have been warned.

Marino Provasi

Definitely one of the best Veterinary Doctor in New York City! Dr. Krieger is a skillful practitioner, extremely knowledgeable and professional. Gentle and patient with the animals she is also very thorough in her examination and cautious in forming a diagnosis. This sweet and excellent Doctor got my Liam back on his feet without recurring to needless and costly tests like at the Inwood Clinic I had the misventure to entrust Liam' health prior to be directed to this practice. Thank you Dr. Krieger!

Richard Lorson-Melamdir

We've taken out kittens here since we got them a year ago. The staff has always been very caring and considerate. The care provided had been excellent and we haven't had any issues or concerns. It's a great thing for the neighborhood to have such a wonderful place to take care of it pet-families.

Paulette Schneider

First time visiting. My pet was treated with exceptional and professional veterinary care by the staff. First time in years I've been happy with the care she received. This practice is a very welcome addition to the Washington Heights community.

Caridad Muyet

Friendly and knowledgeable

These guys remember you, are calm, accommodating, and professional.

Gretchen Priddy

Sooo sooo please with this place! Went for the first time 5/2019 with my brand new puppy and our 4.5year old cat. The front desk was so helpful and sweet! The Dr. is wonderful! They all truly care for each pet and take the time to make sure they’re comfortable. Prices are not bad (I only have Kentucky prices to compare to and they were nearly the same price). Roughly $180 for puppy visit, shots, and exam. I believe just a visit is $40, which is great! Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Dr. Krieger is the best! Even though we moved out of this neighborhood, we still come here. The service is great, the pricing is good, and the staff is friendly. Just be realistic about wait times when you go. This is a doctors office and things come up. We always schedule our appointment on a day off in case there is an emergency that takes the doctor away from seeing us at our appointment time.

These people are dishonest and cannot be trusted. They will give you a quote for a service and end up charging you twice what they said. Here, it is more about them making money off of you and less about taking care of your pet. Do not go here, save yourself from the stress and outrage. These people are untrustworthy. *This office initially gave me a quote of $370 for all the services plus an additional $35 for each tooth that needed to be extracted. No teeth were extracted however, I ended up being charged $500. This additional difference includes a "biohazard medical waste fee" and consultation that I was not present for nor authorized. How is it that I can drop my dog off for a procedure expecting to pay for the services originally planned for and end up being charged for extraneous services that I did not authorize and for all I know were not even administered as I (the owner) was not there. How do you "consult" with a dog if the owner is not there. How will the dog bring forth any concerns himself? My point is, you gave me your word on a price and did not honor your word. You are not sorry. You were rude and unprofessional in person when I tried to dispute the price and now want to portray otherwise so you can keep deceiving future clients. I never spoke to you about my dog doing great. Also, my dog had not been to THIS vets office in two years because I was taking him elsewhere. This business is completely deceitful and unethical. You took advantage of my poor dog's situation which is horrific considering that you are people who "care" for animals. I hope the extra money you got out of me goes to great lengths because I will never be coming back here again.

Incredibly disappointed and frustrated. I took my dog for a routine thing - expressing his anal glands - which is usually done at most vet offices for $20-30. The vet tech was unable to do, so I ended up getting charged for a full vet visit ($50). Additionally she charged me for $60 worth of medicine that my dog did not need. So the total bill was over $100!! For something that should have cost $20. I am beyond frustrated and wish I never went. The staff was very nice, the only consolation.

I’m so thankful for this team. The veterinarian, vet assistant and Alba (the receptionist) took great care of my CoCo after being bit multiple times. No long waits the office is always clean and they treat my COCo with so much love.. If I had the option to give them ten stars I would .. Thank you ladies for all you do ❤️

Affordable vet close to home. They may not have all the services of a larger vet but so far it’s been all we need.

Carlo Sanchez

My 3 month puppy male Chihuahua needed to be fixed. The service outstanding my puppy was running around the next day with no complications, the Doctor has a great hand, the incision clean and barely noticeable in days. I love my puppy, I would not dare take my baby Apollo Anywhere else. Dr Krieger is amazing, and her staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Danielle Gardner

My dog was sick and I was seen the same day the staff was nice and the eait tine was brief. The prices were a lot less than I expected. Great place

JeNaiah Renee

Wonderful staff, very professional. Very satisfied with services provided

Miguelina Nunez

I have never written a review for any business I've frequented, but I felt compelled to write one for this community practice. The entire time I've had my boxer dog (8 years), we took her to Banfield where, even with insurance, the costs for her care were pretty extreme. This vet practice is affordable; the doctors are patient and knowledgable; and they dont tack on unnecessary procedures. One of the kindest things the vet did was show us how to tell when something is inflamed. This place is great, and I highly recommend it. Thank you :)

Christopher Stults

Dr. Krieger and her staff are excellent! They are very gentle with our dog who is usually skittish with new people. Dr. Krieger is also very attentive and explains everything to the humans thoroughly. This practice is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Francis C

I had a great experience taking my cat here, who is usually very anxious with strangers but was calm during her vet visit. The doctor was kind and sweet to her and gave me clear instructions about her diagnosis and next steps.

Mayanna Lee

I went once cause a neighbor reccomended. I was so pleased with Dr. Kieger. I felt like finally my dog had a thorugh exam. The clinic i went to before, no matter what i said was going on with my dog they would say oh its just this or that. I paid for that kind of service for a couple of years. I even tried different doctor within that same clinic. But they were close to the same. One visit with Dr Krieger and she found out so much about my dog. I transferred my dogs medical records to her clinic an have an appointment to get some blood work done. Now that I actually have a better idea how to deal with my dogs issues.

David Levy

Good service Excellent follow up on clients

Josefina Rojas

I had a great experience with a sick dog belong to a lady I help paying for the dog care. The staff are very good and the veterinarian Dr, she really loves dogs and threads them with love and compassion. If anything bring your dog here and is not so expensive.

Loved this vet experience! Dr. Krieger and her assistants are kind and wonderful! I took both of my kittens there for their initial shots and checkups and later brought them back for their neutering. So glad I discovered Community Veterinarian! Also extremely reasonable compared to other New York City vets I've been to. THANKS!
