I foster cats for KittyKind, a local rescue and they always use Dr. G. I've been here many times with different cats and always have a comfortable experience.Dr. G is honest and very intelligent in the vet space. His vet techs are awesome as well. They work to fit me in for appointments that work with my schedule and are almost always running on time. They also thoroughly explain any medication or condition a cat may have.If I owned a pet I would definitely keep going to Dr. G. Read Less

I have owned cats all my life, have consulted with many vets, and Dr. Gagliardi is by far the best we've ever had the pleasure of seeing. We have always referred our friends in the neighborhood here and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a vet.It is always clear that he cares about your pet's needs first and foremost and will go above and beyond for them. I have been seeing him since shortly after I moved to the East Village in 2007 and he has treated each cat with spectacular respect and care. Emerald, an elderly Russian Blue, saw him often because she had asthma. When she developed corpuscles--very painful for her though not dangerous--we saw him every day at minimal charge until she was all better.When I got new kittens after Emerald passed, they did not respond well to being fixed. I was concerned and was hand-feeding them to get them to eat. Dr. G asked me to bring them back in so he could monitor them more closely, all part of the cost of the original surgeries. Once they were ready to go home, after business hours, Dr. G helped me walk them back to my home about 10 minutes away. It was such a sweet and helpful gesture that I have never forgotten.Now, my husband and I have all of our cats under one roof (we have four!) and all go to Cooper Square. Our aging population needs closer medical attention, which has been trying emotionally and financially. Dr. G is extremely considerate of our financial constraints, always offering multiple options and pathways for us with upfront pricing. Nothing unnecessary is ever done. He has stayed open late when we have had emergencies so that we did not need to go to the more expensive emergency vet. When he was closed and we did need to go to the emergency vet, he acted promptly to send our cat's chart to that vet and followed up later via text to make sure she was okay.Last night, our cat Vera who has been diagnosed with heart problems (HCM), went into heart failure. This is not the first time, but it was the worst. She was panting and heaving. She has already lived longer than we expected from the very dire diagnosis she got from the cardiologist and we've been through several emergencies with her over the last year. We thought this was the last one. My husband called Dr. G towards the end of the business day and he cautioned that though we could bring her to the emergency vet, he felt she was in such a weakened state that she could die merely from transporting her. Instead, he came over within a half an hour and delivered shots that saved her life. She began recovering almost immediately and has staved off death one more time. I spoke with him this AM and he is charging us minimally for the house call. I am honestly overcome with gratitude with his sensitive, thoughtful, and caring treatment of this old battle-axe cat. She is not the sweetest cat (he described her claws as razors at her last visit!) but he gives her the utmost care.Okay I'm bawling that's it. Read Less

Hands down the best vet clinic in NYC. I cannot recommend Dr. Gagliardi and his team highly enough. We have been taking our dog here since he was a puppy (he's now 1) and they've always gone above and beyond - calling us after hours to give test results, answering emails on a Sunday when they are closed, offering advice if there are no appointments and fitting our dog in urgently if we really need to be there. Dr. Gagliardi is no bull****. He is honest and upfront, and his priority is your pet. He is not afraid to tell you "stop worrying" if you are overreacting, or ordering x-rays to be on the safe side. He has also ALWAYS been right in his diagnoses and recovery/treatment plans which is a huge testament to his skill and talent IMO. I've recommended Cooper Square to friends with new pets and old and all have come back and thanked me/made the switch. Love these guys! Read Less

While I have been taking my first cat to saint marks vet on 9th street for a few years, I decided to try out Cooper square with my new kitten because the visit was a little cheaper and the reviews were pretty positive. I'll be sticking with Saint Marks. The appointment was just a basic new kitten assessment, but I was in the office for nearly 2 full hours- most of which was spent waiting. I wasn't seen by anyone for at least 20min past my appointment slot, and then I waited in the exam room for another 30 or so (at least!) in between the tech's intake and the vet's exam. The exam itself seemed thorough and I don't question or doubt the information I was given, but I was made to feel like I had done something wrong by letting the rescue organization neuter him at 3 months (this is pretty standard...) and I felt like the practice wasn't generally supportive of TNR/kitten rescue organizations. I also had to take the initiative to ask to treat my older cat for the parasite my kitten needed treatment for, even though they knew I had another cat at home and that they share a litter box. It also didn't help that the doctor clearly didn't like my kitten's name and asked if I was going to keep it! I know a lot of the reviews say his bedside manner is gruff but his care is excellent, but I walked away feeling like he thought I was dumb and that the care my kitten received was adequate but not exceptional. I believe you can have excellent *and* respectful care, which is why my cats are going right back to saint marks vet. Read Less

I followed others' good reviews and took my indoor cat to this vet. And it was a disappointing experience from the start. The nurses/assistants seemed thrown off upon our entry. One person verbally asked to take my and the cat's background information in order to enter data into their system. I was OK with this being a standard procedure, until two other assistants started collecting similar information from me verbally while they are handling my cat. I expected undivided attention to the animals in the examination room. I didn't understand why the assistants were soliciting some of the background information from me repeatedly when they did not need the info to treat the cat. Perhaps the worst part of the experience was that the first thing the assistant tried to tell me while handling the cat was introducing the clinic as a "small clinic that cares about everyone and it is open on Saturday". I am not sure why the promotional speech is needed while the trust is not yet built, and more importantly, while the nervous cat is still in their hand on the examination table. I gleaned a similar vibe later on as well. The good bits: The doctor seemed professional and caring. And responded promptly to my questions. There was a vet dog running loose in the clinic. Everyone seems to know the dog but I did not and was startled while waiting with the cat, when no one else was attending to the clinic. The staff apologized. It might have been a busy time that I visited but it was overall not a pleasant experience. Read Less

I have a very problematic cat (multiple and frequent health issues and highly aggressive at the vet). Dr. G and his staff handled her expertly. Most vets just sedate her, but Cooper Square was able to restrain her gently, with a blanket, and perform an exam, get blood work, and even a sterile urine sample. He worked very quickly with her to minimize stress but was still extremely thorough. Will definitely continue to bring my cat here and recommend Cooper Square to others. You can tell Dr. G is an extremely intelligent and caring vet, and I was very pleased with the entire experience. As for reviews complaining he was gruff or condescending, if you want someone who prioritizes coddling over accurate diagnosis of your pet, don't go here. Do go here if you want an experienced, intelligent vet who will get right down to the issue and figure out the best course of treatment for your pet. Read Less

Dr. Gagliardi is also involved in various animal advocacy activities and causes. This is so important to me as an animal lover. The day we went, while there, he was treating three fostered cats for free!! You can really feel he cares and has your pet's wellness as a top priority.

I was fostering a cat through an organization called Kitty Kind and they partner w Dr. G to care for their rescues.

He asked to see the report from the previous vet visit, which I didn't have because I was fostering at the time. I called Cooper Square and left a message on their answering system on a Saturday afternoon while I was in the vets office in Queens and within minutes Dr. G called me back! He read the report to me and explained his previous treatment approach, gave some advice and emailed the entire report to me. His quick turnaround time and compassion is greatly appreciated!

Solid vet. Nice staff. Accommodating regarding dropping off and picking up, which is important for any working person. I have never had to speak with Dr. G. at much length, since thankfully my dog is healthy. I know him tangentially through social connections, so my brief, completely satisfying conversations may well be because of that, but I think it's more so because he's a decent guy, solid vet, and cares mainly about the rational care of pet animals. Also, he also has things like an online pet patient portal, etc.As a human, primary-care doctor, I was a bit disturbed when I saw that his bill for a routine visit was more than I make for a routine visit seeing humans, but his rates are on the low side of average, and certainly lower than most vets that deliver the service he does.

The owner, Dr. Gagliardi, was extremely unfriendly and had an air of annoyance with us.

Im writing this review because I feel others should know about our last visit in regards to other reviews on this establishment. My girlfriend informed me that during her appointment Dr. Gagliardi pulled her back into the room after the examination and asked her to write a good review of his clinic. He also then gave her a discount. I think this is extremely unethical. So be aware that most recent reviews have most likely been bought and are not true to their words.

John is very devoted to his work and to the animals and goes out of his way when necessary to help a sick or injured animal. In the 3 1/2 years we have been with John, each of our cats has had a serious, complicated surgery.

It is very telling of someone the way the boss treats their employees and I would hate to work for someone that talks down to me the way he does.

I don't know why i couldn't get the guts to go someplace else. I thought his cocky attitude was a sign he was good. One time, I had just gotten my tonsils out 2 days before i brought my dog in and i was still recovering and i couldn't speak with the my usual voice. My throat was burning, and i couldn't widen my jaw so i spoke very lightly so it wouldn't irritate my throat. And my dog had swallowed a bone, and she was seriously sick so it was an emergency. And as i was explaining to him what happened he cuts me off and says ""why can't you speak..."" it was so incredibly rude. And of course i then proceeded to tell him i had just gotten my tonsils out and i couldn't speak well. But even if i hadn't gotten my tonsils out it was nasty. Don't bring your animals here. I can't emphasize that more. The other thing i forgot to mention was he used to have a ""greeter"" by the waiting area. It was his dog (which sounds nice but it wasn't), a bulldog, very pretty pet but not appropriate to have in your waiting area if you want your customers to come back. The dog always teared at my clothes and broke the strap of my purse and couldn't stop humping and jumping on the customers. It was so annoying we would wait outside until Dr, Gagliardi would call us in. Don't know why he never realized this. And i don't know if the dog is there anymore. Anway, don't go there if you respect yourself and your dog. Read Less

I adopted a feral orange tabby and was in love at first sight. I was told she has been ""fixed"". After about two nights she began having a ""heat"" cycle and I could not figure what was going on. After going to 3 vets, I was recommended John as ""the best vet in the city"". After he gave my cat a checkup he recommended a ""specialist"" and after a slight ""redo"" my kitty is a beautiful loving kittycat. What struck me as amazing was John's warm bedside approach. A very thoughtful and practical problem solver. He helps to improve the well being of an animal which shows his LOVE for them. I am so thankful for his kindness. Read Less
