Terrible -- the worst vet vet you could ever have the misfurtune of choosing.  Instead of patronizing 6th Ave Animal Clinic (which is just a few blocks from my apartment) I take my cat to see Dr. Diaz at WILLIAMSBURG ANIMAL CLINIC - he is fablulous and better with animals.  

I brought my cat to 6th Ave Animal Clinic to treat a urinary tract ailment, and while we were waiting to see the vet he lost control of his bladder while still inside his carrier. The staff told me they would take him where he would be more comfortable while we waited to see the vet -- but in reality they shoved his carrier into a dark corner in a storage room, where he was left to sit for over an hour in his own urine while I waited unaware in the lobby. When the vet did finally see us, she made it very clear that she was busy and that she disliked my cat.  She also used an alarmist approach to scare me into buying every expensive treatment under the sun before she finally dismissed us with a prescription for a generic antibiotic -- only after I finally told her what my budget would allow.

Don't bring your baby here under any circumastances.

I had a cat that was with me since the 4th grade.  When I moved to the neighborhood, he was about 15 years old.  He'd had bouts with skin cancer in his younger years and as he got older he started growing tumors at a more frequent rate, including a malignant toe tumor and a brain tumor.

6th Avenue never once said- 'Look, your cat is 17 and has a brain tumor, maybe it's time to consider your options.'  Instead, they recommended more and more tests and x-rays that I paid for in earnest.  Being extremely attached to my childhood cat, they made it seem like each measure could help him.  Looking back I see I was being hosed at the cost of my cat's comfort.

I wish they had been frank with me and helped me say goodbye to my dear old friend instead of bilk me for every dime, prolonging his life until he was in obvious pain.  I trusted their judgment and it was an unfortunate choice.
