Prospect Park Animal Clinic Brooklyn, New York

Reliable and caring staff, going there 11 years with two dogs.

They are very helpful and genuinely concerned about my dog’s health!

I brought my cat bubbles there, great safe and friendly environment, I recommend this place to anyone who loves their pets unconditionally.

I took my older dog here for a year or two. Thought everything was fine - prices were ok, they seemed ok- until I adopted a puppy. They were AWFUL and it became clear they don’t care about individual dogs or take their work very seriously. I explicitly told them I wanted my Puppy to receive any and all suggested vaccines and she would go to daycare sometimes and the dog park almost every day. I am almost certain I mentioned Bordetella specifically. Guess what? Months later, after going to the dog park, etc, a day care informs she she never received this vaccine. I should have double checked myself on her records, but trusted the vet and am a busy person. When confronted, they assumed no responsibility. Bordetella is a standard vaccine! I was so upset my puppy (who was a rescue, a stray, underweight with other things going on) had been put at such risk! Also, my puppy had worms. They treated her first without doing a fecal test despite my questioning- turns out they treated her for the wrong worms. She was treated with 3 different medications over several months and it got pretty bad- she was really sick at times and grew increasingly thin, and I found a worm ON MY SOFA. I was doing my best to advocate for the health of my dog, but it felt like they did not care. They were literally trying different medications to see what would work rather than correctly identifying visible worms in one of the many fecal samples I collected. They told me “it can be difficult to tell what kind of worm it is.” Can a trained vet not look at a 4” long worm under a microscope and know how to treat a dog? I think they’re a father/son practice. When we visited, it was clear the father had not taken the time to pull up her chart and even pretend he knew what was going on with the dog. He asked ME what vaccinations she had. Are you kidding me?

Roomy waiting area, clean. Will care for dogs and cats alike. Happy knowledgeable staff!

Asked very throughout questions and have been helpful since the moment we brought our cats in! Rocky has a sinus infection ( we know of know that’s to this clinic! ) and the last vet just gave us medicine and said he was fine. Since taking him he has gotten so much better. They really work hard to get to the bottom of it all and you can tell they all really care !

Excellent service, no waiting time ????! My Cats were a little nervous, but I was okay

We’ve been using Dr. Leonard Silverman for about 30 years now. When we first started going to PPAC, Dr. Nick Silverman was still a kid! It’s a great balance now, with Leonard having experience and being able to diagnose flawlessly, and Nick being up to date on newer methods. Tough to get an appointment lately, but worth the wait if it’s not an emergency.

Helped us get USDA health certificate for our dog and cats to travel to the EU

I've been going here since 2006 with countless animals. (Many cats and a dog!!!) Always patient , kind, and pragmatic!

Dr. Silverman and everyone there took wonderful care of our cat yesterday, with her tooth and possible liver problems. I very much appreciated that the decisions made during surgery and about care reflected causing minimal pain while giving the best care, and not doing unnecessary diagnostics or procedures. The care was thoughtful and humane, while being totally professional. We’ve taken a few cats to the Drs. Silverman – father and son – over the years, and we think very, very highly of them. The day after surgery, Phryne is very relaxed and purring a lot.

Love this clinic.you could call last minute and they would try to accommodate you. Wonderful Doctors. Thanks, Ruby ????

Love this team of vets, the service and their staff! Attentive and responsive, reliable and a great value!!

We had a great first experience! We just adopted an 8 year old dog and took him in for his first vet visit. Even though he's reactive to other dogs on a leash, the visit went smoothly! Rachel was super helpful in setting up the appointment and finding a time slot without other dogs before us. We were very happy with the visit itself -- no wait when we showed up for our time slot. Dr. Anderson took plenty of time to discuss all of our concerns and helped us understand the treatment options. Our dog was a happy boy when he came out! As we were waiting outside, we saw Dr. (Leonard) Anderson give the same amount of attention to another patient. Nothing was rushed and Patrick was very careful to move our dog in and out without running into other animals.

Love these Vets, they are the best!

Dr Silverman and his son and the other vets really care about our pets and do a fantastic job. The staff are all really nice and helpful too!

Extremely helpful staff, friendly and sympathetic vet. Put my skittish cats at ease.

Everyone was really friendly, caring, and seemed to enjoy what they did! As of June 2021, the waiting room is still outside, but I presume that will be ending in the next few months. The receptionist and doctors were all friendly and helped me schedule my next meeting as well. I will definitely be taking my cat back here!

I have been bringing my Shih Tzu Georgie here for several years and have always received great care. Everyone on staff is responsive, caring and takes the time to answer all of my questions. They respond to emails and phone calls promptly. They have been very safe throughout covid.

All my 5 dogs are patients at Prospect Park Animal Clinic for the last 15 years. Dr. Nick Silverman is caring and we can feel he loves what he does. He explains every details and treatment options and guides us through to decide what is best for our fur-babies. He responds quickly, never have to wait more than 30 minutes to get his advice. The office staff are helpful and make sure the administration of the visit go smoothly. Highly recommend.

These folks are the best. They always go the extra mile for our pup!

A superlative experience. The doctors are incredibly friendly and responsive to concerns. I've been taking my cats here for years.

This is a terrific vet. They really care, they follow up and they are involved. I highly recommend them. Thanks Prospect Park Animal Clinic!

Attentive doctors and helpful administrative team. Efficient and reliable with accurate assessment. We love dr. Silverman!

I took my puppy to them and my initial visit went well. Although I found it strange that a vet couldn’t tell me what was the proper amount to feed my new puppy I still liked her. When having to set up my second visit I was told I was not able to see that vet again as she only volunteer and so my next visit would be with a complete stranger. Who felt like just that he had no info for me he didn’t even know our info as if we never came there and was just so cold. Since I have a large breed that keeps growing a lot I had to bring him monthly to get him weighed and the reception was rude, judgmental and just plain nasty for our last visit. The space is way to small for people coming out and people waiting to be seen . Not all walks of life get along with each other and they could care less about interaction with other pet owners. I have decided to leave and never look back and am glad we did because we found a very compassionate and loving place to take our big guy.

I have been going to this vet since 1979. They always get right to the issue and help with it getting great results. When they can’t they are compassionate and engaged all the same. Nothing has changed over the years. I highly recommend both Dr. Silverman’s —father and son.

I saw Dr Nick, so kind and responsive. My dig is old and had a cough . He really explained everything. I recommend this Ver highly

Very well run and responsive office. The staff is very kind and communicative. Reasonably priced.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Silverman and the technical staff for taking good care of my Shelley during her stay for oral surgery!

Marcy tore her ACL on a squirrel chase and Dr. Nick got her diagnosed the same day. They took x-rays to be on the safe side (no breaks) and sent us home with meds to help Marcy with the pain and swelling while we wait for surgery. Long story short, Prospect Park Animal Clinic is very trust worthy with your pet. I was happy we went there.
