If it weren’t for Dr. Russell Katz of Pelham Animal Hospital I don’t believe my precious little girl Daisy, my nine-year-old beagle, would be with me right now. Dr Katz diagnosed her with a rare disease and it didn’t look promising. Dr Katz pulled out all stops and found the right cocktail of medication that was able to keep her bone marrow disease at bay. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this amazing veterinarian. He cares for your animal as if it were his own. His knowledge and conferences with vet specialists truly saved Daisy’s life. Thank you, Dr Katz, I’m forever grateful! Read Less

Dr Katz is on top of his game--he calls me personally and has handled many different situations involving my little 12yr old overweight dachshund, Puck. He talks frankly and is very sympathetic . I'm no easy dog mom. I tend to give him a hard time (hehehe). He's ALWAYS professional and courteous towards me. His bedside manner is great. The other doctor, Dr Johnson is also very even keeled. You can put 100% trust in both Doctors with your 4 legged family member. Read Less

I worked for Dr. Katz for several years as an assistant, but he was also my personal vet and I continued to use him as our family veterinarian until the time I relocated from the area. Dr. Katz ‘s ability to to be simultaneously empathetic, accurate and realistic with diagnoses, I believe makes him the premier veterinarian in that area.

I used Dr. Katz for close to a decade. first and foremost, he is competent  I had switched from other vets all for same reason...i dread the bill more than the auto mechanic bill on a german car!Dr. K was infamous for pushing tests or products i did not need. I dont mind recommendations, but it was all push & all business. I got in habit of always asking how much and stressing I cant afford to try desparately to get a fair price. Several times things were on my bill that he never even mentioned to me such as optional vitamin products. I felt like i always had to be prepared for negotiations going there.He would make concessions, but only after what i feel were "gouging" sessions. Finally when the inevitable time came that my animal had to be put down, he was about $100 more than others and he did not use enough euthanizing drug and it made my poor baby take longer to sleep. I dont think he did this out of lack of knowledge, but the exact opposite... knew the minimum needed and tried to conserve on costs even though i was paying dearly.He is knowlegeable, and I understand competiton and overhead, but I have moved on to a new vet. I will pay whatever i need for the care of my animal, but i just want it to be fair and needed! Read Less

Dr. Johnson, upon examining Angelo, accurately diagnosed the problem. My friend & neighbor has raved about this vet practice & now I know why. They are kind, caring, clever & accurate with their assessments & follow-up care. Angelo is the picture of Health now. Read Less

I have so much to be thankful for and one of those is the care of Dr Katz and his staff for my little girl, Daisy, my 15+year old Maltese fur baby. She was diagnosed with kidney failure at 13 1/2 years old. She was so sick. We were taking things day by day, then week by week, then month but month. With the care and professionalism of Dr Katz and his staff, we celebrated her 15th birthday on March 6, 2017 and we still celebrate every day we have her. Its been over two years since that grim diagnosis and she still wagging her tail for us!  Dr Katz has been an amazing support and his staff is so caring and helpful. I could never thank him enough!!!
