York Veterinary Center

I lived downtown for many years and even after moving to the Upper East Side eight years ago, I continued traveling back to the Village to see my longtime vet because I trusted him so much. When he retired, I was anxious about finding someone new. Finding Dr. Herman has been such a relief. He’s taken wonderful care of my two cats, Ginger and Fred, and he’s always attentive, compassionate, and available. The entire staff — every tech and assistant — is warm, professional, and genuinely caring. I’m so grateful to have found this practice. Ginger, Fred, and I are in excellent hands.

With my 3 chihuahuas, İ had to move overseas for family reasons. İ was so worried about the move. Dr.Herman and his team eased all my concerns.They handled all the tests, paperwork, health certificates we needed in time. After a smooth if not a very long trip we arrived in Turkiye.Thank you so much. İ highly recommend York Veterinary Center. They really care and love your pets.

I am so thankful to Dr. Herman and his wonderful staff! Special thanks to Owen who assisted Dr. Herman with Joy's nail trim -- a 2 person job as our cat is very skittish! You can sense Dr. Herman's kindness and compassion for animals immediately. This vet practice is a great blessing to all pet owners! Thank you, Dr. Herman, and thank you, Owen! Gratefully, Rhonda Lee Schrade

DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE! Firstly, Dr. Spencer Herman has the worst bedside manner of any vet I've ever come across. Secondly, he isn't a good vet: I had to put my sweet angel dog down and DR. HERMAN did not administer the first shot correctly, causing my dog to badly choke - it was torture. This was already the worst day of my life, and to have a vet not know what he is doing was just unimaginable. And what I couldn't mentally digest was that this man NEVER apologized and was passive aggressive towards me - not exactly what you want when you're going through emotional hell already. I never returned and have spread the word like wildfire. *TO NOTE: he even had his kind staff all walk out on him on the same day about 2 years ago, which to me just confirms how truly cold-hearted he is.

Dr. Herman has been a great help since receiving conflicting information on our cat. Being told your cat might have cancer is upsetting and stressful, not knowing how to help your cat or if you'll be able to handle the stress of cancer treatments. He made sure to explain why a differential of irritable bowel disease and lymphoma might look the same on imaging, while also taking into consideration our cat's age, history, and presentation. Dr. Herman made sure to consider my cat as more than just an ultrasound image, but put all the pieces together to relieve anxieties and make us feel like more than just a number. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a veterinarian who will treat your furry friend, not just based on test results, but also evaluate their history and presentation. He i
