VetCierge New York, New Jersey

Dr. Lavine cared for my senior cat Buster since 2018. He's wonderful --very warm, caring and involved in every aspect of his care from physical to behavioral and quality of life. Although Buster had serious health problems, including arthritis, autoimmune disease, IBD and hypertension, he was terribly stressed during in-office vet visits so I chose to forego X-rays, ultrasounds and invasive procedures, instead keeping Buster at home and comfortable until he passed away 3 months shy of his 19th birthday. I'm very happy with the care he received, including appropriate medicines, vitamin B12 shots etc. Cleo is also terrific. They'd feed Buster treats and peanut butter at the end of every visit, and he loved them both.

Vetcierge warning: I thought it important to share my experience to help others avoid what happened to me. Vetcierge is Dr. Jeff Lavine who comes to your home in the NYC area. He’s basically a one man show and comes with a vet tech. He seems like a good vet and did a good job with my cat, but he never sent me results of his blood test and paw scraping sample that I paid for, let alone a receipt for services. It’s been over a month now. I sent him two emails and text, to which he never responded. I left him a voicemail, to which he finally sent a text back saying he would call and that he only just saw my text and that it was uncharacteristic to not follow up and that he’ll check his records. He never called or emailed back. My friend who used him said he seemed good, but also had to hound him for follow up. I really need to know what my cat’s kidney values are from the blood test for my records, as he has kidney issues. I paid Lavine / Vetcierge with Venmo on the spot. If he lost or forgot to send the samples in, it would be helpful for me to know as he could at least refund the money for those tests. At this point, I guess I have no choice but to dispute the charge. I found out from Nextdoor that I'm not alone and this exact situation has happened to multiple other people. I hope this is helpful for others to know.

Dr. Lavine helped our dog cross the rainbow bridge. He was very kind to Otis and very supportive of us. At a very difficult moment he provided us with the best care possible.

Sadly we had to put our family dog, who was with us for 18 years last night. Jeff, the owner of VetCierge took good care of our dog for years. He does home visits and came to our home last night to help us say our final goodbye. He was professional, compassionate, and made an otherwise terribly sad moment for our family, comfortable. I could not recommend him more warmly. If you are a pet owner, you would be lucky, more importantly, your pet would be lucky to have such a professional, caring, vet to care for your pet.

Dr. Lavine is certainly someone I will always refer any dog owner to. I needed someone I can trust and other veterinarian clinic reviews are so inconsistent- but BELIEVE me that Dr. Lavine genuinely cares for pets despite however busy he was that day. I have had 2 emergency situations with my beloved maltese dog and Dr. Lavine has been so caring and committed to helping me both times even as I called under an emergency need in his busy day. The first time was during quarantine and my dog had a tick embedded in his lower eyelid. Dr. Lavine was committed to finding a time slot in his already busy day to drop by and remove the tick as well as give a thorough examination while we met outside (COVID quarantine). He thoroughly answered all my questions and concerns and did a full exam of my dog to ensure there was no other ticks on him. The second time my dog had injured his back and was in pain. I called Dr. Lavine again as my local vet was so backed up for days. Dr. Lavine helped me assess treatment priorities, then booked an emergency appointment with Pure Paws for me that same day and I was able to get my dog the treatment and medicine needed. Dr. Lavine did this entirely out of his own passion for animal healthcare and has my trust and gratitude in backing his reputation.

Dr Lavine is so nice and great, his being able to come to my home and answer all of my many questions was a life saver for me and my kitty who cries and cries when he has to go in his carrier. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Dr. Levine is great. He really helped my cat Maxxie. He is kind and caring!

I would absolutely reccomend coming here, my family wasn't sure about other pricey vets so we came here and got our cat looked at very affordably

Dr. Levine is great! our dog, Ellie, loves him. He's always super nice but also very professional. He has help us a lot, being first time dog owners, giving us al kind of advice, tips and tricks. We love how convenient it is to have him come to our house.

I don't know what I would have done without Vetcierge. I work A LOT and it is tough for me to get to take off work and get to the vet. Tucker had a condition that was pretty urgent and Dr Jeff came right to my house on the weekend with very little notice! The best part is that he was amazing with T. He was able to fix the situation right in the first visit and he was substantially more affordable than my old vet.

If you are looking for someone who cares about your pet just as much as you do, Dr Levine is the one. I admire his dedication and passion for what he does; he is extremely caring and loving, just what you want your vet to be. He also gives the perfect advice on how to train and raise your pet so that they are decent members of society :). I cant even count how many times he helped me out with my little Marte. I am thankful I met him and I highly recommend him.

Dr Lavine is great! Always available to take care of my dog Emma. I highly recommend him to any animal lover.
