Worth Street Veterinary Center

Exceeded expectations. I called on a Friday morning and was able to schedule an appointment for later that evening. My pup Charlie and I were new clients so I was pleasantly surprised that we didn’t have to wait. The staff was so kind and attentive. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped through the door. Huge waiting area. Exceptionally clean throughout. Gorgeous space with exposed brick.
Charlie saw Dr. Block, and he was very patient with her (she’s a rescue new to the city). Dr. Block was a wealth of information and answered all of my questions. You can tell he truly loves animals. The best part was that I received a call the following day (on a Saturday) to see how Charlie was doing. It’s very rare to find that kind of care in this city.
I know Charlie doesn’t *love* the vet, but I can’t wait to go back. It’s absolutely worth the trip from Brooklyn.

Wow wow wow, this place is pet heaven! They are completely honest and gentle. I couldn’t be happier with my experience here and how efficient they were. I have had bad experiences in the past and I finally found my permanent vet!

Got Milo (my westie) neutered here recently and he’s doing very well. The staff was very courteous and Dr. Block gave me a call after the surgery was done and told me Milo was doing well and resting. He got his walks and they fed him and housed him overnight. The next morning, I was able to pick him up and they fed him breakfast and took care of him. They gave him pain medication to go home with and overall it was cheaper than other Vets and they always give you a courtesy call the next day to make sure your pet is doing well (its the small things that go a long way here)

If I could give Worth Street Vet 10 stars, I would. From the very beginning they were kind, compassionate and understanding. I called on the 29^th and they were able to see me the following morning on the 30^th. Dr. Block was the one vet that was able to give me options, solutions and recommendations. He was also the first vet that figured out what was wrong with my 8 year old cat. If you’re looking for a vet that cares, look no further. This is the place for you and your four legged babies.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. First of all, they are always so happy and excited to see my kitten. It seems like everyone there really does love their job. If I have a question and reach out to them, they’re very responsive over phone or email — they don’t try to make me come in if it isn’t necessary (which I love… who wants to shell out the pretty penny if it really isn’t necessary!) Even though it’s a little more expensive than I’d like, it’s totally, totally worth [street vet] it!
P. S. Because my kitty gets care this good, it makes me realize that I should be seeking a primary care doctor that treats ME this well and is this enthusiastic to see me! ;)

I am truly amazed with the treatment that was given to my wife new puppy Lalah. Lalah’s Doctor is a very cool and knowledgeable young man. I felt very comfortable with the vet. Lalah even ran around the office like she was at home. Mind you Lalah is less than a week with us.

Best vet downtown. Very clean and modern facilities. Extremely attentive and professional nurses. The vets here take so much time with the animals. Also they are up on technology so you can make appts via their app. Yes they even have an app. Highly recommend.

I visited Worth Street Vet for the first time yesterday. I can’t tell you how impressed I was with the friendliness of the staff and how well my dog responded to Dr. Block. Unlike most vets, you could tell was all about my dog vs pushing unnecessary vaccines and treatments just to make a buck.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a new vet to check them out, as they will exceed your high expectations.

Jack had is first visit at Worth Street. The staff was friendly and Dr. DiPolo was great. He din’t rush me when I asked many questions and took his time explaining everything.

At Worth Street they really take extra care for your pets, and are definitely friendly and informative for first-​timers like myself. All the process was easy, Zooey one of the ladies at the reception was super helpful and emailed back and forth with me to get all the right information before our appointment. The nurse and doctor were both very friendly and knew how to handle my cat in a professional but gentle way.
They followed up with me to check in and also provided informations about annual check-​ups and vaccinations that my cat will be need in the upcoming year. Overall a great experience, and will be returning for any medical needs for my cat! :)

Very happy with Worth street vets and Dr. DiPolo. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Worth Street Veterinary Center is terrific. The staff is always cheerful, professional and eager to help.
Dr. DiPolo is amazing. He practices holistic and allopathic approaches to health care. He always returns calls promptly, and is very patient and kind. He loves what he does and it shows.

I found this vet through citipups where I got my dogs. I used to see dr. Horton who was great but is no longer at the practice. I now have my dogs see dr. Dipolo, who deserves every good review on here and more! He is kind and thorough. The staff is wonderful, they quickly respond to emails and calls and price quote requests. They are great with the animals as well and treat every animal like their own.
One thing that particularly impresses me is their concern for keeping client’s costs as low as possible. There have been a few instances where I was concerned about something and dr. Horton or dr. Dipolo had me email photos or video so that they could better evaluate if my dog needed to be seen. They could have easily said to come in and made some extra money, but this option saved me time and money (and my sanity). That being said, this is not the cheapest show in town.
All in all, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. They may be pricey, but you get the top notch service you pay for!

I wanna start by saying that Dr. DiPolo is really great! My dog liked him and he was very polite and explained everything well. That was my second visit there, because on my first I scheduled an appointment with him and was actually seen by another vet, «because he was busy with something else». The other vet was very inexperienced and insecure. I didn’t go back for a while, then decided to give it another shot. Had the appointment and all went well. A few days later I get a call from someone there saying my dog has a «roundworm» and needs treatment, that I should stop by to get the meds. I ask a few questions and the person who I found out later was a technician didn’t know how to answer. I started looking in google and even called my doctor because roundworms can infect humans. I run there, ask a few questions to the receptionist who couldn’t answer most of it, and as I get the meds that they say have to be taken for 10 days I question and say that the treatment for roundworms is not that long. Only then she tells me there was a mistake and they read the wrong file, and my pup has another type of infection. I ask to speak to Dr. DiPolo and another vet calls me and apologizes for the mistake, and tells me that I should give him the meds, and when I question him that I read that that type of infection doesn’t necessarily needs treatment he says I am right but he suggests that I do anyway. By then I lost confidence in the clinic and went for another opinion, in which I was told that the amount of meds they told me to give my 4lb pomeranian was unnecessary and too much.
It is a beautiful place and everybody is very nice there, but mistaking files is a bad error, and not being honest about it right away even worse. Truth just came out because of my questioning. Also, overmedication is another thing that is unacceptable for me as a Physician.

Took our dog here yesterday to have a lump on her neck checked out. They examined her and took a sample of the lump (tumor) with a needle. Called us this morning at 9am with the results. (non-​threatening fatty tumor) Amazing!!! Cost: $ 250 this is a very trustworthy vet who will take a conservative approach to caring for your pet.

Had what we thought was an urgent issue so we called this morning for an appointment. (Never been here before by the way.) Got one for the same day and waited for not even 5 minutes. Everyone was knowledgeable and thoughtful. So understanding when my dog peed everywhere also. The urgent issue turned out to be nothing at all but everyone was so nice and I didn’t even feel stupid ha. Definitely going back from now on.

I have now been to three different vets to treat a condition my dog has had for 3 years, with no answers anywhere. After another recommendation, I gave this place a shot and I will be coming here for life.
Upon walking in, the facility itself is clean, sleek and modern and the staff are all so welcoming. Given the condition of my dog, my original vet had pulled in another vet to assess the situation together. After getting some tests done, another vet had given me a call to give me the results since my original vet was off for the next few days. They wanted to give me the results as quick as possible and as a team, they all discussed and provided me with the best recommendation on how to fix the problem.
Two visits later, you can see that these vets really do care about your pet’s health. Unlike most practices, they don’t fight for pets and they work together to find a solution. Everyone has a different specialty and preference and together they have given me the best recommendation. On top of that, they also suggest hollistic approaches. At this point, the typical medications haven’t worked and while not everyone believes in it, the hollistic route is all I have left.
All in all, if you’re looking for a vet that cares, won’t make you run tests just to make money and will give you the care your baby deserves, you have to come here. I’ve been to a few vets who seem great at first and the service ends there. This place is a little out of the way for me, but I have no problem taking the day to trek over here to make sure my dog is in good hands.

Wonderful first visit. Everyone on the staff is incredibly knowledgeable.
Doctor returned our call promptly– clearly adores animals which some vets don’t seem to.
So happy to find such a great resource for my dogs.

Thank you Unilocal for leading me in the right direction once again! We have been so happy with this vet office and particularly with Dr. Block. Ever since I adopted him a couple of years ago, my dog Henry has always had lots of itchy skin problems. Every other vet we’ve ever gone to has just said it’s likely just a symptom of being a purebred Schnauzer and sold us some expensive medicated shampoo that never did anything. Dr. Block was the first one to take a little sample of his itchy bumps and examine it, then work hard to get rid of it. Though he’s not completely cured, he’s less itchy and irritated than I’ve ever seen him! They do sell us expensive stuff too, like probiotic powder to sprinkle on his food for $ 40, but I don’t feel like they’re pushing it on us or trying to upsell.
The front desk staff is also very sweet and great with all of the animals, and the exam rooms are absolutely spotless. I’m so happy to have found a good doctor for my little guy, and it’s worth the money!

During the time I lived in the Financial District, I used Dr. DiPolo as my vet. Initially, it was just for routine visits — the dog was due for his annual vaccinations. The interaction was overwhelmingly positive. Dr. DiPolo has a wonderful personality and was very good with the pup.
One day, the dog was up all night coughing. I called the office to find out if there was any availability, sooner rather than later. An appointment was scheduled quickly thereafter. When I arrived, I explained what I’d been seeing. Of course, the dog, who had been reliably coughing, decided not to while Dr. DiPolo was in the room. This didn’t phase the good doctor at all. He efficiently and effectively induced a cough and provided a diagnosis. A few minutes later, I was ready to go back to my apartment, prescription in hand.
I have had nothing but positive experiences with Worth Street Veterinary Center, both with the administrative and the medical side. Without any reservations, I would recommend them to anybody who lives nearby.
