Fisch Jeffrey DVM

Let’s get real regarding these reviews and this, «doctor.» Please, this man is egotistical, arrogant, and caters to masochists. His totally misdiagnosed my dog’s thyroid disease, which can be done with a simple blood test I later found out. He was on vacation and a fill-​in doctor suggested we do a simple blood test. Sure enough, there it was, but by this time it was so far advanced there was no return. My dog has had tremendous difficulties ever since. Any time you have a suggestion or input, he puts you down and tells you things like you are overfeeding and under-​exercising your pet. Standard answer from a sub-​standard doctor. Unbelievable!

The doctor was quick to respond to our voicemail and saw our cat right away. Just seems a bit pricey. $ 95 for a 5 minute exam with no tests or shots or anything. Just told us to change her food…

Dr. Fisch is really attuned to my cat. We have been seeing him for about eight years and he’s been very attentive. I appreciate that whatever tests he does are in our presence. This is unique to vets and makes me feel more confident. Moreover, Fisch is a low-​key guy and I think that puts the animal and his owners at ease. Quite professional. The only reason I give four stars is because I think he needs to update his waiting room — a bit of paint and a clean up of old material would really make it much more hospitable. But other than that — Fisch is wise, nice and reasonable in terms of cost. And I trust him with my best boy cat.

We have been taking our 3 year old French Bulldog to Dr. Fisch since he was born. He has had lots of medical issues from skin irritation to a herniated disc. Dr Fish has always taken time with our dog and helped us figure out a way to help our dog get on the road to recovery. He is a bit no nonsense and does not baby you or your pet. But we totally trust him. Also Millie who works in the office is truly wonderful.

I generally do not write reviews but I only see negative reviews on hear for Dr. Fisch and he could not be a better vet so I had to write. For those of you that say his office fee is high clearly you have never been to another vet in this city. My dog need life saving surgery the Animal Hospital on the Upper East Side told me it would be 6,000 dollars we were going to put her down because we just could not afford it Dr. Fisch did it for a fractional on a Friday afternoon and then came in on Saturday and stayed late so she could finish her IV and i did not have to put her in the hospital for another night. This guy is a life saver he may be a little quirky and not the warmest guy, his office is old but let me assure you he knows his stuff. He also identifed with in seconds what was wrong with my other dog when I brought her unable to walk. He knows his stuff and when your dog is very ill there is no question in your mind that he and his staff cares about their well being and bringing a happy ending to the story. I would recommend to anyone looking for a vet in the city he is reasonable and he makes the dog healthy which in my mind is most important.

We’ve been taking our dog to Dr. Fisch for years and years. Yes, he’s a little gruff, but when stuff goes down he’s always been there for us and our pup. He actually drove medicine to us once when we were desperate! He really loves animals and never overtests – he’s mindful of our budget and compassionate to our now very old dog. We moved out of the neighborhood but still take her back. Try him. You’ll grow to love him.

I went in there for a simple shot that my dog needed and it ended up costing $ 113 for a $ 25 shot. Why is their a $ 88 «office visit» charge for simply telling me my dog looked good and had a great personality.
Wow, I really hope other vets aren’t like this.
