Excellent Veterinarian

by jkinn at Citysearch

Even though it was on a day that his clinic was closed, Dr. Fierman called me back soon after I left a message about coming in for the first time. He and his assistant were very friendly and professional and put me at ease. While we were in the office, he discovered that the two "lumps" on the longhaired cat's belly were cysts. He examined them closely and carefully removed them right there in the office, explaining what he was doing, and he didn't charge extra for it. He was very gentle with the cats and explained everything he was doing. He made recommendations and explained his reasoning for them. I feel confident that Dr. Fierman will take very good care of my two cats. My household recently expanded to include a large dog, and I will be bringing him to Dr. Fierman, as well.

• Pros: Patient, thoughtful, loves animals, listens to you
• Cons: No surgical options onsite-but he will recommend a hospital

Wonderful and Warm Care

Dr. Fierman and his wonderful receptionist / assistant, Sonya were incredibly gentle with my dog and very open and inviting with me as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a vet who is kind and honest and operates

a very welcoming environment for the four-legged members of your family.

• Pros: Inviting and personal care; teacher discount!

A kindly country vet in the big city

by JennyWren at Citysearch

Dr. Fierman and his staff have been terrific to us and have taken wonderful care of our dogs. Dr. Fierman has an unhurried, easy manner and really takes time to listen and observe. Our animals are comfortable and calm with him, and my younger dog has pulled at the leash trying to get to the office more quickly ever since having a minor surgical procedure there a year or so ago. Dr. Fierman and his staff are genuine, competent, and kind. We couldn't be happier and feel very lucky to have found this place.

Great animal clinic! Highly Recommend!

by ccbc at Citysearch

I just moved to the city and decided to get a beagle pup because it gets pretty lonely here. I've had beagles all my life and love them so much. I wanted to find the best services for my new puppy. I came across Cathedral Dog and Cat Hospital. The Dr. was so informative and really took the time to talk to me about puppy care. I can hear the sincerity in his voice. I was there for more than an hr just talking about puppy care. They dont open on tuesdays and wednesdays but you can leave a message and he'll call back if you specify. They give 10% student discount. Their rates are pretty standard. I know some places the 6 in 1 shots are like $49, here is only $39. Not expensive at all compared to the other bigger facilities. Here is more intimate, smaller and more personal. I highly highly recommend if you want a lifelong family doctor for your pet.

• Pros: prices, student discount, smaller, more personable
• Cons: Dr. will refer you to a bigger facility to get your spays and neuters.
