I was told I could help for an injured bird someone put under a tree in the pouring rain. When I arrived at Rye Harrison Vet a receptionist misinformed me stating this was a fletchling or baby bird and it needed to be with its parents or it wouldn't make it. I was also told that if I took the bird to the wildlife restoration in Manhattan they would probably put the bird to sleep.

Anyway the bird was refused care at this bussiness from the receptionist assumptions. Fortunately I inquired further thru animal nation and found a qualified person who cares for small injured animals. The bird was not a baby but an adult, was brought back to health in a few days and now living with new sparrow friends on the caregivers beautiful property. That was my experience with this business, I was misinformed and didn't receive help in this desperate situation.

Had such a wonderful first time experience at the Rye Harrison Veterinary Hospital. The reception staff, veterinarian and veterinary technicians were all super friendly and welcoming. They provided a comprehensive wellness exam and provided me with good feedback and recommendations.

This place restored my faith in vets. I was having a really hard time finding a reputable vet that didn't charge an arm and a leg for my senior dog, Jack. My previous vet was having me run senior blood panels monthly for nearly $400 just to check kidney and liver function and pushing all kinds of medication, but Rye was able to do a more specific test for him at a third of the price and took the time to help me figure out what medication is right for my best bud.

The vets here are practical, friendly, and realistic. You can tell that the staff really cares, and they are very communicative. Seriously so glad I found them! Wouldn't go anywhere else!

The staff and drs there are very helpful and explain procedures thoroughly. My elderly cat had to go for teeth cleaning and extraction and I was a wreck. The vet called me 2x to explain different parts of the procedures and my cat's status during each part.

Dr. Green and Dr. Sperling are beyond helpful, knowledgeable and overall beyond caring and kind. Between answering all my questions & always making time to see Champ, I'm so happy with the care he is getting at Rye Harrison and from these two incredible vets. Great experience thus far and would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Rye Harrison Veterinary Hospital. Dr. John Pisciotta and his team are very dedicated and knowledgeable with respect to the care of animals. Dr. Pisciotta and his staff have been treating my sweet cat for 8 years. Most recently she has been ill. During each step of her treatment plan Dr. Pisciotta. has checked in with me on a weekly basis to suggest further treatment options. Luna's health has improved due to his wonderful care and dedication.

Another review to mention rats and for anyone with small rodents or exotic animals. I am always pleasantly surprised by how quickly I can make an appointment, receive treatment, and get my pet returned with medications. I did the drop-off option, which included me dropping off my pet and the vet tending to him as soon as he got the chance. My rat was in an out within a couple hours. They were open with me about the cost of getting certain diagnostic procedure. For any one interested, it cost about ~$120 for the physical exam and medications.

Everytime we are their the service is excellent. The Doctors are caring And highly qualified. I have had dogs my whole life and always look for Vets that treat our pets like family. My only concern is the prices might be a little high. Although I really think they are comparable with all Vets. I would not take my dogs anywhere else. These Vets are worth it all. Thanks

Great experience from start to finish! We are first time owners to a sweet Golden Retriever puppy girl! Leia had some digestive issues from the day we brought her home. Needless to say, we were very anxious. Dr. Livingston and staff took us right away and took great care of our Leia. We would highly recommend Rye Harrison Vets!

If it were possible to leave a negative amount of stars, I would. If you want your animal to survive an injury, avoid this place AT ALL COSTS. My dog was taken there by my ex husband weeks after she apparently broke her foot and it somehow became severely infected. She was extremely ill when I was able to get her back and I was very concerned that she would not live.

Their protocol was illogical and exorbitantly expensive. I followed it for a week as she became weaker. I ultimately decided to take her for a second opinion and got sound medical advice. She began to recover immediately under the new vet. In turn, they billed me an astronomical fee for nearly killing her.

I've been coming here for 13 years. They take good care of my 13 year old dog as well as my new 4 month old puppy. Theirs covid protocols are great for the pets and us pet parents. Both female vets are amazing! I always feel like they truly care for the dogs .

I had taken pets from birds to fish to gerbils to Dr. Piscotta in the past but unfortunately I moved away. That was unfortunate. He is a rare gem of a vet for his care, knowledge, and skill! He examined my parrot, reviewed the tests that I brought him, and gave me a clear explanation of his assessment and recommendations. The icing on the cake is that he gave my sweet parrot the best beak and nail trim he has received since I adopted him a decade ago!

I have been a customer of this wonderful veterinary practice for almost fifteen years. It has the best and kindest doctors and office staff. I have two dogs and have brought a hamster and recently our chinchilla. Dr. Pisciotta is a leading expert on exotic pets. This capable staff diagnosed my dog with a chronic illness and saved her life. Great place!

I don't know which is more impressive - the level of care or the authenticity of their love and concern for the animals they see. Our dog has had the privilege of being a client/patient of theirs for his entire 15-year life. I credit their attention to this health and well being with his long-life. They are the best!

Thank goodness for Rye Harrison Veterinary Hospital! We live close by and drove straight there when our dog sounded like she was choking and shaking and they took us right in! Gave her fluids and antibiotics (she ended up having Kennel Cough from a recent trip we took with her). They were beyond fantastic!

This was my first time going to the vet in Westchester County, and the staff was very helpful. When I told them about my pet's condition, they were able to make an appointment for me on the same day. I believe the vet even stayed later than usual for our appointment. She was very informative and compassionate when I had questions. They treated my pet mouse with love and care just like you would expect for a cat or dog. I would highly recommend.

The vet seemed polite and professional. However, there's an emphasis on testing, some of which are not necessary. An explanation should be given about each test they propose along with the cost. I was presented with a bill for $700 after my card was inserted for processing and I questioned what I was being charged for. One test for feline leukemia on both cats was not explained by use of an acronym so that I had no idea what the test involved but agreed on faith. But, the cats are 9 years old, stay indoors and the need for this was not explained as necessary but as a good idea in case they developed symptoms. That's flawed in that the risk is zero and if they were infected, it's generally too late.

I was also told on the day that I called in for the results that one cat had a creatinine level of 2.0 and should perhaps consider further kidney tests. That's nonsense since the normal range for cats is.6 to 2.4. But in this particular vet's defense, she did hedge by saying it's not all that high in case I had access to a computer.

Although they agreed to credit the $200 for those tests, that was 4 days ago. Originally, the front desk employee who processed the transaction lied about the procedure's necessity, lied about why should couldn't reprocess the credit, and on this call 4 days later, insisted I had to bring my credit card down to the clinic to process the credit which is absurd and should have been done at the time of service. Also, the in-house testing had been done the same day of service and I had to call this clinic to get the results that by way of professional courtesy someone should have notified me about when they were available.

For the amount paid, I view the focus of this clinic on making money instead of honestly evaluating what should be done and following through promptly. Unfortunately, as in the case of personal healthcare, at this clinic it appears it's in your best interest to research things and be your pet's healthcare advocate to avoid stressing your pets with all types of tests and repeat visits.

We had an impromptu visit to have two lumps checked out and have found our new favorite vet! Dr. Green was wonderful with our scaredy dog. We have a pitbull that wouldn't hurt a fly (literally) and it's so refreshing to visit with a vet that is comfortable handling her. We appreciated that she got down on the floor rather than forced our pup up on the tiny table.

The gentleness and ease transcended to our dog -in the end making the entire affair enjoyable. We had a really great tech too, I wish I could recall her name. I'm a bit of a control freak with my dog (I'm sure my boyfriend would laugh if he read this) but I felt completely confident allowing her to be taken to the back for some lab work. She came out with her tail wagging looking for a treat. You can't put a price on peace of mind. I have to trust my vet 100% and Dr. Green is Woofin' Approved!

Amazing, wonderful, warm and knowledgeable is the best way to describe the wonderful staff, especially Dr. Vieira. They get to know you and your animal and I always feel that they want to help and I'm getting the best care for my pets!
