Since 1978, my pets have been cared for by Dr. Miller and his professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated team. Over the years they have consistently provided the best care and support anyone would want for their pet. Dr. Miller is experienced, pleasant, informative, will patiently answer all questions, and one can see how much he cares for animals.  If you want the very best medical care for your dog or cat, see Dr. Miller at Carnegie Hill Veterinarians.

Carnegie Hill Vets takes care of my friends pets. I've seen the care and the experience exhibited. My friends are all pleased. It's a shame to say but my friends are like me, we're aging. Having their pets for 18-20 years in some cases is not unusual. The Carnegie Hill Veterinarians are perfect at handling the emotional needs of the pet and the owner. It's a delicate situation. Kindness and assistance is helping and caring. If you live nearby I recommend you use this veterinarian.  You can make your own decision no matter what the age or needs of your pet. A pet is like family. Expense should not be a factor. I hear they have medical insurance for pets now. If I could afford or had the desire to own a pet I would sure get some insurance if it's available! Read Less

Dr Miller and his staff have been treating our dogs for seventeen years (two different dogs). Dr Miller is a gem and has a great deal of intuitive knowledge as well as beings an exceptional vet. Some of the other vets have rotated in/out of the practice but the general standard is high quality care with a willingness to treat complex diagnoses until the right one is found. The other vets are very good with their patients--alleviating animal's anxiety and attempting to minimize discomfort. He is wonderful with puppies as well as with dogs of all ages. Some people have had unfortunate experiences. The move to the bigger, newer hospital as well as increase in staff may prevent such occurrences in the future. After almost 20 years of being our vet, I won't go anywhere else. Read Less

UnprofessionalDirtyPoor bedside mannerCost effective Staff is very unprofessional. Yelling at each other, screaming at peoples pets. You can sense the hostility they have toward each other. One doctor ( I won't use names ) had to look up ok google how to distribute a medication for my dog. This made me super uncomfortable! My dog never had pain during injections but the two times I have brought him here he cries during the injection and wants to run away. Not normal for him. The vets at petco have him two round of injections and he never flinched.I recently took him to another vet and he did just fine with an injection. I understand that this might seem minor but it's definitely a shifty office that doesn't make the people or animals feel good. The cost is not bad but I'd rather pay more for better bedside manner.

Dr. Sascha Hilchuck did a great job with Mani's dental surgery and extraction; there were no complications during the surgery, he had no post-op bleeding, discomfort or pain. The excellent vet tech Eric Correa most carefully monitored Mani's monitors during the surgery. Read Less

Very happy with the service. The Vet and his staff are friendly, efficient and experienced. My pup hates going to the Vet (acts like a little baby) but they are super nice to her and make her as comfortable as possible. 5 barks for me! Read Less

I have been going to dr. Miller to attend to my 4 dogs (all different times.). He is one in a million. I can say that with sureity. He is so kind and knowledgable and more than fare. He never rushes you and answers any question with patience. Yesterday i waited while he was attending to a failing cat. He was remarkable. They're practice is the best. Read Less

Dr. Miller has been taking care of my pets for over 17 years. His dedication and care is unsurpassed. It’s the reason I come from the west side to see him. I had a very sick puppy that I rescued Flora and no one could diagnose her. Dr Miller worked tirelessly throughout her life to find research and different treatments to help her through her 13 years. He was with me when we had to put her down. He now takes care of my new rescue Ginger and my Mainecoon cat Taylor. I am so grateful to him for all his hard work. Read Less

After reading so many favorable comments about CHV and Dr. Miller, I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did! The staff is warm and the facility clean and well-organized. Dr. Miller was a godsend. After reviewing Saki's history and an exam, he immediately knew the cause of her terrible-looking mouth legions. He gave her an injection and advised that I change Saki's diet. NO expensive tests, no big deal. Saki was totally recovered in few weeks. I also want to point out that during our stay in the exam room, there was an assistant who stood by Saki's side and petted her the entire time to keep her comfortable. This was such a change pf pace from other vets in NYC, on many levels. CHV and Dr. Miller are a keeper and I don't intend to ever leave them! S. Katzenstein Read Less

These people have no clue what they are doing. I brought my dog in for a growth near his anal gland. Without blood work or much testing, two “veterinarians” went to some text books they had in office to diagnose my dog with cancer. They then told me to “do what’s right for the dog” and put him down. Another vet diagnosed the tumors as benign and a inflamed prostate. My dog is healthy and well 2 years later. No thanks to these morons. The assistant found it nearly impossible to google the number of his previous vet for his medical records. If you love your pet, don’t bring them here Read Less

The entire experience with Carnegie Hill Veterinarians was a positive one. The staff was informative and responsive to my questions. They were helpful and consistent in their information which enhanced my confidence in the office. Dr Alexander Miller was personable and welcoming and made me feel that my cat would be well cared for. The procedure went without incident and the post-op course was uneventful (although I did have to remove the protective collar within a few hours to keep my cat from trying to hang himself!!). My post op visit was well handled and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. I would certainly recommend the doctor and the office without hesitation. Read Less

It was my first time here. They took great care to check my cattle dog thoroughly, even though they were busy. Everything was explained well, without rushing, and it was a very pleasant experience. I recommend them! Read Less

My dogs and cats have been patients of Dr. Alexander Miller's continuously since 1976! There has never been a time when I was without at least one cat or dog. In all this long period, I have never had even the slightest negative experience at CHV; on the contrary, I have only superlatives about Dr. Miller, Dr. Sasha Hilchuck and Dr. Brenda Weissman and I would recommend them to anyone who wants the best possible veterinary care for their furry family members. They all possess uncanny clinical skills and can make diagnoses based on astute questioning and meticulous examinations of your cat or dog. They do not need to recommend thousands of dollars of tests to make the correct diagnosis for what is ailing your pet. In the last few months, my new female Himmie kitten Pari, has had GI problems and has been on and off medications and trying different special diets that Dr. Miller has but that cannot be obtained in pet stores. They greatly help her problems. But what I want to point out is the terrific teamwork that every vet asst and vet tech rendered for my little Pari and also for my other Himmie, Mani, who is five. I have dealt with Kim, Erik, Jack, Merise, Candy, Ericka and Renee the office manager. Everyone relayed all of my messages to the vets as soon as possible and got back to me with their responses. All of the vet staff are so unswervingly dedicated to my Pari and Mani, so professional, so caring. Today (Sat when they close early), I could not come in because I had an MD appt in Brooklyn, so Kim took Pari's special diet and some meds. to the pet store next store for me to pick up later today and she sent me a lengthy email about this and about her conversation today with Dr. Hilchuck about Pari and the concerns I raised to her to ask Dr. Hilchuck about. I really appreciate her taking the time to do all of this on a Saturday, when CHV is so busy and things are so hectic. I recommend highly and without reservation Drs. Alexander Miller, Sasha Hilchuck and Brenda Weissman to all those petowners who want absolutely top vet care for their furry family members. I wait with baited breath for my cats' appts dates to arrive, because I am always treated specially whenever I bring them in and they are always given such great care. I do believe that Carnegie Hill Veterinarians is the best smaller animal hospital in the Greater New York area! Priscilla Robinson Read Less

My dog and I have the best experience every time we have to go. They treat her so kindly and go over and above to make sure she is looked after and ok. I cannot recommend them enough. What a great team! Read Less

This place needs to get its act together: first they give me the wrong medicine for my dog's scratched eye, then they I bring back a stool sample only to be told that it costs $50 & that I was not charged for it  the night before.   needless to say I will not be returning with my dog. Read Less

I've had a wonderful experience with Carnegie Hill. They're refreshingly high-tech, with text and e-mail reminders, and I've always been able to get an appointment when needed. More than that, though, they clearly care about me and my pet(s). When my dog of 11 years had a sudden worsening of his heart failure and I completely freaked out, they had me bring him in immediately, despite having no appointment. Then they helped me through the decision to let him go, and were so immensely kind and understanding through the whole process. I would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Dr. Miller is the most best vet in NY. He has been caring for my toy poodle since she was a pup. She is now 15 years old, and despite the many health issues that accompany her age, thanks to Dr. Miller's diagnoses and expert recommendations, she is still going strong. The office staff is attentive and kind. Dr. Miller is more than caring. I do believe he loves all the animals. I highly recommend this office to anyone who wants the best for their pet! Read Less

We have been bringing our pets here for 7 years. They used to be so wonderful. We love Dr. Miller and Dr. Hilchuck; but, the new doctors and staff are rude, arrogant, antagonistic, confrontational and unconcerned with anything except money and how much of yours they can get. How very sad...we will miss Dr. Hilchuck, especially. Read Less

Dr. Miller and the staff of Carnegie Hill Veterinarians have been caring for my cats for the last 30 years. They have been wonderful providers, and I trust them completely. The staff is warm and kind, and the medical care excellent. I have referred many friends to them, and all have been very happy with their care. I recommend Carnegie Hill Vets without reservation.

Have been a client of Carnegie Hill Veterinarians for close to twenty years with three very different cats and a dog with some medical issues. Dr. Miller and his very caring staff have always provided excellent treatment but more importantly became our partners in keeping these pets--and the family who loved them--healthy, happy, well adjusted. A truly kind, good place. Read Less

Dr. Weismann has been my dogs vet since I adopted him about 10 years ago. She is everything you want in a vet, honest and thorough. She takes great care of my dog Manny and is easy to communicate with. Although he is not my dogs primary vet, Dr. Miller is also fantastic and a great guy. Any procedure he has done with my dog has turned out perfect. If you live in NYC and need a Vet. Look no further than Carnegie Hill Veterinarians. Read Less

My experience with Carnegie Hill Vets has been very positive. They are true professionals who have been in the community a long time. All the vets are highly motivated and have genuine concern for animals and their owners. I would not take my 2 cats anywhere else. Read Less

Love the care, compassion and expertise Dr Miller provided to each of my pups Bruno and Missy. He always provides practical options that allowed us to feel we choices in the best ways to care for them. The combination of canine knowledge, experience and a genuine love for animals has led me to recommend numerous people to Dr Miller when they asked for an upper East side vet for their dogs.

What started as a great experience has turned in to a nightmare. I was traveling from the west coast and came to this vet on the recommendation of my cousin. I brought my dog in because of a large mass on her neck. After explaining my pet has an immune disorder (one that is sterile, meaning non bacterial) that causes this type of issue, I agreed to allow the vet (Dr. Weissman) to extract fluid to make sure it wasn't an infection. The results came back showing an infection. Dr. Weissman wanted to do another fluid extraction to for a culture to ensure the right kind of antibiotic, which I again agreed to. When we came back to the vet for round two, no one could find my appointment or information and a very irritated vet (not Dr. Weissman) ended up performing the procedure. After the culture came back not bacterial, Dr. Weissman recommended a course of antibiotics to be safe and then a round of steroids. Ive now left NYC and am still traveling (hence not near my pets regular vet) and called to get the prescription for steroids because the mass is still there. (Have been calling for a week but since Dr. Wrissman was out no other vet in the practice would look at my dogs chart and help me) Dr. Weissman just informed me that she can't help because she needs to see my pet. Huh?? $500, two procedures, and a round of antibiotics because this doctor couldn't figure out the entire problem is from my dogs existing condition and now will not give her the prescription that she actually needs. Frustrating is an understatement. I feel completely ripped off and my dog now needs to go to another vet. Avoid. Read Less

Great vets. An old school practice , but very smart vets. They quickly diagonsed my cat's cancer, which might have saved her life. Because we found it fast, the oncologist could treat her before it spread. As much as I hated what they had to tell me, I am so lucky they knew right away. Read Less

We had an emergency situation and Dr. Weismann was wonderful..She was caring and compassionate, she was thorough and very attentive with our 13 yr old Siamese cat. She took her time to listen to our concerns, access our kitty and do a very thorough work-up on him. Never at a time did we feel that she did not have time for us or did we feel rushed. The clinic was very clean, well maintained and well equipped. I highly recommend Dr. Weismann and her colleagues at Carnegie Hill Veterinarians. Read Less

I love this place! I recently adopted a goldendoodle puppy with a congenital digestive problem. I visited the animal hospital and another vet but no one was able to figure out what was wrong. After spending over $1,000 I visited Carnegie Hill Vet. In one visit they were able to identify what was wrong and prescribe a medication that has solved the problem! Everyone there is a true animal lover!! They also have good products and can make excellent recommendations about food & general pet care. Read Less

I came here with my 6 month old rescue puppy, Kenny. They were able to fit us in for an appointment the day of when I noticed my puppy had some sort of eye infection.The nurses were awesome and friendly with my puppy and Dr. Kovach gave us the full run down on NYC specific dog ownership and things to be aware of that I had not learned from the rescue facility. She wasn't bothered by my several questions and was able to thoroughly answer them and make me feel comfortable. They were quick to get us test results and the proper prescriptions to treat my Kenny. We will be coming back! Read Less

I've been coming here for about a year now. I have my own two cats, and I constantly have foster dogs that are up for adoption. Many of them have gone here for check-ups. I have seen both Dr. Hilchuck and Dr. Miller. Very, very smart doctors. They know almost everything about animals, and if they dont know it.. they will research it until they know. They are overly thorough.  Dr. Hilchuck broke the horrible news to me that my 6 year old cat, Sushi, had Cancer. Even when the first lab results came back negative, she was confident that it was cancer. Despite my skepticism, anger, and sadness. I mean, COME ON! The lab results came back NEGATIVE! But, Dr. Hillchuck persuaded me to let her take a bigger sample to send to the lab. And she was correct. Sushi, my sweet, loving, fun, affectionate, playful, young(ish) cat had an aggressive cancer. An injection site sarcoma.  6 months to live. Thanks to Dr. Hilchuck, I could start on treating her ASAP. We are currently going through radiation treatments and chemo at Blue Pearl Emergency Vets. Fingers crossed for my little baby. Dr. Hilchuck and Dr. Miller will forever be my vets. I am so grateful that they were smart enough to diagnose Sushi. And not just tell me what I wanted to hear. Had she sent me home when the lab work came back incorrectly, my cat would have died.Another positive is that I never have to wait long. They are normally on-time (or nearly) for appointments. Which is SO MUCH appreciated. That being said, all good things come with some negatives. You get what you pay for. They are fairly expensive. They are also somewhat old-school, and their records are handwritten. So getting the medical records forwarded, is somewhat hard (i.e. when my foster dogs are adopted). Highly recommended. Read Less

Dr Miller and Dr Hilchuck are highly experienced vets. They are also super sensitive, kind and funny - so great for both your pet and you! We have a very old poodle with many issues and they have guided us through his care - we are so lucky to have had their great guidance and experience. My family and friends have been seeing them for many years and they consistently deliver excellent care and advice for all pets if all ages. Read Less

Very disappointed on my outcome to this appointment and the amount I was charged. I went here for a follow up with my dog's cherry eye surgery which was not successful. Dr miller offered two follow-ups visit that are FREE of charge. After 2months one of his eyes began to draining. I was charged for a brief examination is $81.00, and a full examination is $91.00 plus and the medication. To correct the surgery, Dr. Miller offered to do another surgery for FREE. Let's see how this goes. Read Less

Great friendly, warm and knowledgeable staff that really care for their patients and their patient's humans. Dr. Hilchuck is amazing.

I had my two elderly dogs vaccinated so they would be able to go to Canada. The next evening I found Gabriel dead. Two days latter BeBe died on her way to the AMC . I know it was from an overdose, and not reading the charts to see what vaccinations they already had and taking into account their age. I had previously been a customer of Dr Millers for 30 years.

I have been taking my little poodle to Dr Miller for twelve years and he has given me excellent,compassionate, intelligent care.  He does not try to overcharge by adding unnecessary tests or exams. My nervous dog is always calm with him and his staff is polite and kind.

So lucky to know him. Read Less

After several veterinarians referred me to the emergency room, Carnegie Hill was the first to take me in on the same day -- they gave me the very last appointment despite the fact that it was our first time and these visits generally take longer. The office had a great vibe -- colorful and clean. Dr. Miller was incredibly personable and thorough. He was so gentle that my kitty didn't even blink when he got a big needle. His tech was also friendly, efficient and worked with my cat very well. Read Less

I ADORED Dr Hilchuck.  She was so nice to my Maltese and I.  I felt like she really cares about her patients (and their humans).  It was my first time going there and she really took the time to explain to me what the dentil procedure would be and reviewed the costs.  My dog is older so I was afraid to put him totally out but they do sedate which is great.  I'm really so happy with the entire thing.  All of the staff was friendly and professional.

I have had terrific care for our Shiba Inu.  Dr. Miller amd Dr Hilchuck are awesome!! Our pup had a challenging situation with her liver that was life threatening  when she was 5, and the Animal Medical Center suggested we put her down, but Dr. Miller set us up with VHUP in Philadelphia and she emerged better than ever.  She has occasional seizures from stress or loud noises, and they have managed her care in such a way that she does not  require constant medication, but only when she needs it, and in a dosage that do not knock her out, but relieve her symptoms and keep her playful.She is now 13 and running happily everywhere! They have been capable, compassionate, understanding, kind and patient.  I enthusiastically recommend them. Read Less

I didn't find Dr. Hilchuk very nice. I have a pitbull that has a lot of anxiety and she was behaving very poorly at this office. She told me it was normal that her behavior was like that and that even attorneys and accountants have pitbulls that behave like that. I don't think this woman has a clue of who I am or what I do and should not be making comments like that. I'm not going back. Read Less

Dr. Hilchuk and staff were absolutely great with my very sick cat.  Very compassionate and thorough, seeing him through a difficult illness to a peaceful and loving death. They made it so much easier for me during a very sorrowful time.  Terrific caregivers and terrific people. My other cat and I are grateful to have them on our team.Cathy Hews Read Less

Dr Miller, and all the vets here are very kind, professional and give very meticulous, thorough exams. They take as much time as your pet needs and are not going to let anything go unchecked. They are practicing the old-fashioned way--it's like stepping back in time into a country doctor's office where there's a wise physician whose office may need renovation (it does), but all the important values are right on track: compassion, professionalism, and great diagnostic skills.Added February 2016:Dr. Miller and Co. have moved their offices a few blocks north to a beautiful new space at 96th and Third Avenue so now they are 21st century all the wat!

I would not recommend this vet. The vets' and staff's attitudes toward clients are unprofessional. I needed to probe for answers about why my dog was prescribed an antibiotic. I was also uncomfortable with the way they handled him - loud, excited and impatient - not the kind of experience you want your animal to have at a veterinary clinic. Read Less

Dr. Miller and team are top notch! When choosing a vet it's always comforting to know that the person has what I call that ""animal connection"" and you find it here. It seems he can do anything with my cat w/o much fuss, quiet, loving restraint and the staff are comforting, courteous and professional. Dr. Miller seems to be the type of vet that errs on the side of caution so your animal doesn't have to deal with any unnecessary treatment. My cats love him and our visits with him are always stress free [for the cat ;)]! You won't be disappointed if you decide to choose Dr. Miller as the vet for your Pet. Read Less
