Loved my experience here at Downtown Veterinary clinic with Dr. Ficarro. It was our first visit (she came recommended by a friend who has 2 dogs), and it was a follow up after my dog had to go to emergency. Firstly her team were organized. Paperwork I had emailed was organized neatly into a folder ready to go on first visit. Follow calls were made to make sure we knew our visit time. On first meet, Dr. Ficarro was calm, kind and direct to the point. She asked me smart questions, read the follow up notes from the emergency visit, and treated my dog with kindness. Our visit was easy and address the issues at hand. She asked us about my dog’s general health, gave him an overall check up. The whole visit was easy. I left feeling welcomed, heard and at ease. It was a bonus that her all girl team were on top of everything as well. My dog is a fan of a female veterinarian, and I’m so glad I have found a vet who I would trust with my dog’s health. I HIGHLY recommend coming to see Dr. Ficarro at Downtown veterinary clinic. She will treat your dog, and treat you well.

I have tried a few veterinary clinics and this one is by far the best. This is the vet that true New Yorkers use. They are fair and great. They actually care about the animals, and not just about selling you services (which most vets do). This place is genuine and legit. Sadly my kitty just passed away(14yrs). But I’m grateful to the team here for doing their best to help her out.

I have been taking my dog there since she was a puppy (now 7 years old). I have since moved to another part of town but will always continue to trust my dog’s care with Dr. Ficarra. She is knowledgeable, kind and focused. I know I always get the best care for my dog when I come in, and I will get a fair and reasonable bill. Never any surprise charges, or unnecessary extras. Plus, all of her staff is kind, considerate, and clearly enjoy working with Dr. Ficarra and the patients.

We had an excellent experience. We had never brought our 7-year-old cat to the vet and were a bit nervous. (We have both had less-than-ideal situations with vets with previous pets.) Our cat was developing tooth issues and throwing up quite a bit. Turns out she needed quite a bit of dental work done. Dr. Ficarra was so kind (as was everyone on the staff) and saved us a lot of money. The cat needed anesthesia and several teeth pulled. They kept us updated with her progress and gave detailed instructions along with the doctor's cell phone number when she was discharged. Very happy with the service here and so lucky it's right nearby.

I used to go to Downtown Veterinary Clinic for my sweet puppy dachshund and they were very friendly and professional, but when I requested a Rabies Titer certificate for international travel from them and they misspelled the country of destination... After already charging me north of $400 for the certificate, I pointed out that they made a mistake and they asked them to fix it. They said there was nothing they can do even if it is their fault and that I would have to pay for fixing it as well. As every dog owner in New York knows, taking care of your pet is expensive, and it is even more expensive when your vet makes mistakes and makes you pay for them, after complaining to them and asking to talk with one of the main vets, they brushed me off for more than two weeks and blocked my phone number. Putting aside the rabies titer certificate mistake and my $500 (400 for the initial certificate and 100 for the additional fixing), this type of behavior is disgusting and disrespects their clients. They sure are professional but I'm sure many other vets in the city charge as much as them and will own their mistakes.

Positive vibes as I walked in the door. Downtown Veterinary has a caring staff and I feel very confident bringing my KITTY MACY There.
