Update to my original review. June 24. 2022 I came to bid farewell to my beloved boy. The staff was every compassionate to me and my big boy. It's been 12 years of coming here for my boy and I. Their prices are not inflated like some of these other vet's for the same type of service. You can make an appointment and they do welcome walk in. I have been coming here for 10 years. The Dr's here saved my dogs life from parvo. The staff is really nice and they remember your pet by name.

I was looking for a last minute (walk-in) appointment for my dog who recently developed a cough. Our regular vet didn't have availability for weeks. Center-Sinai was able to see us after a not-too-long wait, and took excellent care of my girl! Ruby was also able to get her nails trimmed. Win, win!

AAARGH! Early morning dog problems! Surgery for growth on ear, sadly. Instead of buying pretty trinkets, I get to pay for my dogs and cats, but I'm happy that they are well taken care of by Dr. Baum and his team! Also Dr. Williams, who is the surgeon today for my silly pup, who was begging the other owners to take her away from the pet hospital. This dog will make me cross Venice when she sees the pink building! Dr. Baum is great! Deals with us neurotics patiently.
I don't know how he does it. He emails me when I am worried, " this cat can't meow anymore!" type of stuff. I made my patients wait for long times for more urgent cases, and now I get to do the same. :)) The long phone response times are over and were a result of Covid. The computer forms are glitch-y and I prefer doing the paper ones at the office if the visit is for surgery or grooming. They take urgent visits and clear the cost of treatment with you beforehand. I'm always secure as far as my pets' welfare and that is the best thing!

Great care for our two dogs. Been going here for years. Friendly staff. Doesn't do surgery but regular care is great.

I absolutely recommend Center Sinai to care for and groom your doggie. I know several people who take their dog here and they all love it too. Dr. Baum has a genuine gift to calm down my anxious dog who has a history of abuse and typically doesn't trust men he doesn't know. Dr. Baum is always so sweet with him and very knowledgeable educating me on the best care I can give. Everyone working here that I've encountered is very kind and refers to my dog as my "baby" which is very sweet. It's clear they all have a true love for animals. I truly trust this place.
