We've never had a better vet

Dr. Soboroff and staff are unfailingly helpful, friendly and dedicated to serving their clients. We've never had a vet who cared so much about our cats.

The BEST Cat Hospital in NY!

by Bettina and Bubbles

This is the BEST cat hospital I have ever encountered. Dr. Soboroff and his staff are the most caring people I have met in any cat/animal hospital. The Clinic gives of a very trusting and relaxing ambiance. The front desk/reception staff are very friendly and efficient.

Dr. Soboroff truly listens to his clients very carefully and is extremely thorough in every step of the way to finding out all about my cat's health issue. I have had 2 of my cats treated by him. One unfortunately had a too progressed cancer that could not be saved and that I took to his clinic too late and had to be put to sleep...I could not have chosen a better place to have my cat put to rest. Dr. Soboroff really has his "know how" to deal with these difficult moments to let a beloved cat rest in peace... The second cat (kitty 11 months ) had a mass in her ear that has been treated and taken out surgically at his clinic. My cat after remained in his hospital for 4 days and every day Dr. Soboroff called me and gave me a thorough update about how my cat was progressing and doing well. This is definitely a cat hospital that I recommend to any cat lover. I live in NJ and I prefer bringing my cats to him, because I know they are in the best care! Check out their website!

Even Grouchy Cats Love Him

by smb nyc

Dr. Peter H. Soboroff was so amazing with my cat. I only wish I'd known about him earlier, as my cat has tried to attack two other vets and has thrown serious tantrums whenever she is visiting the vet. With Dr. Soboroff, she didn't even notice he was giving her shots. He was very patient with making her feel safe and calm, and he was also extremely thorough in helping me prepare for an uncoming plane flight with my cat, and listing out everything I needed to be aware of' giving me pads to line the carrier, etc. Because the office and the staff are all so pleasant and professional, I just expected the prices to be higher too, but it was actually cheaper than my previous no-frills vet in the area.

I HIGHLY recommend this place.

THE BEST CAT DOCTOR IN THE NYC METRO AREA

by TaraM

Dr. Soberoff has been taking care of my eight cats for seven years. Yes, I am one of those crazy cat ladies who would do anything for my cats! They are part of my family, so you can understand how finicky I am when it comes to their care and their health. Dr. Soberoff is THE ONLY VET I trust them with. He is incredible. He truly loves cats and his practice solely focuses on them, which to me makes a huge difference. For example, I don't have to share a waiting room with dogs, which can really upset my cats. Furthermore, Dr. Soberoff is very patient - as you can imagine I ask a ton of questions. Plus, he always greets them by their names, talks to them in a calm manner to soothe them during an exam, is incredibly knowledgeable and has a immense compassion for animals. I adore him and his team and would NEVER consider seeing anyone else because there is no one else better.

• Pros: loves cat, very knowledgeable, kind, compassionate
• Cons: not a one

A Wonderful Vet

by GrammarGal

Dr. Soberoff is the most kind and caring vet I have ever encountered. A couple of years ago, after I had to put one of my two kitties to sleep, I got a letter from the Cornell School of Veterinary Medicine letting me know that Dr. Soberoff had made a donation to the school in the name of my kitty. It was one of the most touching gestures I've ever experienced. Now I've moved to a different part of the city but I still make the trek uptown to the New York Cat Hospital because of the thorough and gentle care my cat receives in the hands of Dr. Soberoff and his amazing staff.

• Pros: everything
• Cons: slight inconvenience: office doesn't open before 9:00 in the morning

Wonderful, Sweet Vet!

by ALCNYC

I've had some icky experiences with vets in the city, but I LOVE Dr Soboroff. My cat was neutered at the NY Cat Hospital and the Dr called me personally to let me know that everything was going well and they were about to do the surgery. It was very reassuring because I could tell he really cared about my kitty. He answered all of my questions and I didn't have to wait at all.

It's really sweet to find a doctor who cares enough to house foster cats in his own space. The kitties in the office were really funny and made me feel like I could trust him leaving my baby there all day. I plan to keep using Dr S, even though he's 120 blocks away- I'll make the trip. It's worth it!

They even made a follow up call on a Saturday to see how my cat is feeling today!

• Pros: The overall feel of the place is loving and friendly.
• Cons: a bit far from everything

Dr Soboroff is a wonderful Veterinarian

by kinderstella

He is a wonderful veterinarian. Handles my two cats with great care, is very attentive, takes his time with the examinations and is very thorough in explaining every condition that he comes across with regard to the kitties. He is clearly a cat lover, and I am very happy to have him as my vet and completely trust his practice including the staff that he has on board.

• Pros: Service, Location (its two blocks away), Staff, Everything
• Cons: No cons really.

Dr. Soboroff: an incredibly compassionate, devoted and smart veterinarian

by OwensMommy

Dr. Soboroff is a true treasure for any cat lover.

The first time we brought our 16 year-old tabby in for a check-up, Dr. Soboroff gave our little furry boy a sweet kiss after the exam. Dr. Soboroff was always so gentle and patient during our visits.

Most importantly, Dr. Soboroff always took plenty of time to thoroughly explain all medical issues, answer any questions, and was remarkably skilled in helping to solve even the most baffling of kitty health and/or behavior issues.

Our beloved tabby was already diagnosed with a variety of elderly cat-related health issues (kidney failure, diabetes, and more) when we first discovered Dr. Soboroff after moving to the neighborhood. Thanks to the compassion and kindness of Dr. Soboroff and his wonderful staff, our beloved tabby enjoyed his last year in great comfort and excellent care.

One of these days we will adopt another kitty cat, perhaps one of the pampered strays that Dr. Soboroff's office so generously provides foster care to. We certainly know that with Dr. Soboroff, any cat we adopt will receive the very best care.

PS: In reading the earlier reviews, I notice that some visitors made reference to wait times. Yes, sometimes you are kept waiting, but more importantly, you should know that Dr. Soboroff is incredibly generous with his time, and you will never feel rushed while he is taking care of your cat. Especially when our tabby was so old and ill, Dr. Soboroff's patient attention was so very much appreciated.

• Pros: Nice offices, convenient location for pick-ups/drop-offs
• Cons: Dr. Soboroff has not yet figured out how to clone himself. The world needs more vets like him! I wish we could find his equivalent to care for our dog.
