Report
Ive been going to Dr G since 2015 and all 4 of my pets go to see him (one cat, 3 dogs). He is very New York City kind of person- kind of gruff, very direct but ultimately extremely kind the most important thing is of course that he is extremely skilled at taking care of your pet. My puppy had a serious infection and almost died and Dr G saved him. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Its costly but I dont think anymore than any other high quality vet. Owning a pet is a huge financial responsibility and when you go to Dr G, you know you are getting the highest value for what you spend

I have taken many foster animals to several different vets in the city, and Cooper Square is one of my favorites. Dr. G is an excellent doctor and gives great care. My dog has several medical issues and she is not an easy patient, behavior-wise, and all the staff are all wonderful. Because it's a small hospital she is able to have the same doctor and staff each time. I recommend Cooper Square to everyone who asks.

Walked in and walked out. Had such an unpleasant experience. The vet is abrupt and insulting. People who goes there probably like to be treated badly.

I just heard the way the doctor was talking to his workers about patients and was shocked. So disrespectful. Wouldn't want to give them any business.
