I took my cat Simba here and they took great care of him. The staff showed him lots of love and gave him lots of attention. They were caring and explained every test cost along the way in a nice way before even doing it. The front desk agent even helped pill my cat the first day. Read Less

Dr. Brett and his staff have been caring for my Yorkie for 8 years! I can't say enough about the care we both receive from the staff here. When my pup was suffering from unexplained seizures Dr. Brett showed care for the dog and empathy for me. I can't thank Carol at the front desk enough for the calm demeanor and care she showed me over the phone when I called HYSTERICAL when my dog was in the middle of having seizure. I trust the care of my baby to Boulevard Animal Hospital time and time again. Read Less

We've been going here since we got our dog, Sherlock. This past week, he broke a tooth and had to have it removed. As we're leaving for vacation next week (yikes!!), Dr. Jill was able to squeeze us in for a Saturday surgery. She really went above and beyond the call of duty to get this done for us and our puppy! We owe them so much! We no longer have go push our flights back or worry about Sherlock while we're gone! Thank you so much!! Read Less

The staff at Blvd is kind hearted and professional. I've taken many cats and always had a positive experience. Most recently, I had a very sick diabetic cat and they were so helpful and supportive up until the end. Such caring wonderful people! I highly recommend them! Read Less

Best vet ever. Dr Brett Geffen was able to immediately identify a nasal tumor in my beloved cat Marley, so that he didn't have to suffer unnecessarily. My ex husband and I used to take all our cats there until we got a divorce and I moved pretty far. I highly recommend Brett for any difficult diagnosis as he is highly knowledgeable. Read Less

Best vet practice in the area - Dr. Jerry Geffen and Dr. Brett Geffen have cared for our Airedales for 30 years--we wouldn't trust them anywhere else. The office is clean, caring, very available, very personal service, very knowledgeable--everything you want in a vet. Highly recommend! Read Less

I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years. This was a great place when the father was there. He was fair and honest. My current 10 year old dog has a chronic health issue (ears & arthritis) and I can't get them to refill a Rx without being charged for a visit plus the high cost of pet meds. Go to PAWS across the street. Read Less

We have been going here for 20 yrs! Love the techs love the desk girls! As far as the vets go I have only 2 favorites that I will see but that is my choice. In the last 5 months we had to say goodbye to 2 of our seniors. The staff and vets on both of these horrible times were just wonderful with us!!! I have only positive things to say about my experiences with Blouevard Animal Hospital... Read Less

The staff and vetrinanrians there are phenomenal. They are very kind, respectful, and caring. They really passionate about helping animals and show every member of your family with respect and care. I highly recommend everyone go their for their pets! Read Less

I've used Boulevard Animal Hospital for the past 15 years, and I can't say enough good things about it.  Everyone is professional and caring and they go out of their way to give excellent care to the animals. Read Less

Boulevard Animal Hopital agreed to fit us in when we needed to euthanize our dumbo rat, and our regular exotics' vet would not give us an appointment for several days.  The vet and staff were very caring and empathetic.  Additionally, the office is very clean, and I would definitely go here if I were in search of a new vet.

Please read if you are going or considering going to Boulevard Animal Hospital. I took many pets there over the past 30 years, until now. Deserves 0 Stars but not a. Option.On June 7th, Jamie was taken to Boulevard Animal Hospital at 1913 Grant Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia and was seen by Dr. Nicolle Chacosky, VMD. She was taken there because for a week or so we had noticed she was constantly licking at her paws. They had become red and irritated, losing some hair and bleeding off and on. Dr. Chacosky looked at her and said she had a skin infection. It was nothing to worry about, and with some antibiotics, steroids, eye ointment, pain killers, medicated baths, and time, she would be as good as new.For twelve days, we followed the Dr's instructions, Jamie slept pretty much constantly from the pain killers, she wore a cone so she couldn't lick her feet and she looked slightly better but had developed what we thought was a sore on her neck and chest caused by the cone.On June 18th, one of our other dogs stepped on one of her front paws and broke it open. The following day, we took Jamie back to Boulevard Animal Hospital and she was once again seen by Dr. Chacosky. On this visit, we were told that there must have been an abscess in the foot and the other dog stepping on it must have just broke it open. We asked about the area on her neck and were told that it was part of the infection and it was just going to take some time to heal. Jamie was given an additional antibiotic, increased steroids again, more pain killers, and continue the baths.On June 27th, Jamie's neck and chest began bleeding and the sores were seeping what looked like puss. Once again, we called Boulevard Animal Hospital and took Jamie to be seen on June 28th. On this visit, Dr. Chacosky did a $15 skin scrape and told us that Jamie actually had Demodex Mites. The Dr. stated that she did not test for that initially because she had never seen a case that severe before. The Dr. also stated that the use of steroids can actually worsen Demodex Mites. The Dr. stated that Jamie could not just come directly off the high dose, she had to be weened off over the next week.   She received additional antibiotics, was told to continue with the baths, and was given a Nexgard Chewable to treat the mites which have now been going unchecked and aided by steroids for about a month.On July 1st, we came downstairs shortly after, we found that Jamie had died on the family room floor. We said goodbye, wrapped Jamie in a blanket and took her to Boulevard Animal Hospital where she was later cremated. We were told that she probably had a heart attack. What actually happened is that Dr. Chacosky and Boulevard Animal Hospital were completely incompetent and neglected to do a simple test that could have saved Jamie. The Dr. then gave Jamie a medicine that actually worsened her condition. Finally, with Jamie's weakened condition, and lowered immune system from the steroids, they prescribed Nexgard. If you search Nexgard, you will see numerous cases of it causing seizures and killing dogs. A number of Veterinarians will not even use it because of the risks associated with it and a number of local Vets have since said they would not have given it in conjunction with high dose steroids.I have gone to Boulevard Animal Hospital for nearly three decades. Their prices are higher than most but I always felt that the quality of care made it worth the cost. Needless to say, my three decade run is over and I will be searching for a new Vet. The fact that Dr. Brett Geffen who has treated many of my animals could come up with no answer other then I'm not sure I would have done anything different is a joke. His Dr. killed a dog in three weeks and he may have done the same. Sounds like either a cover story for Dr. Incompetent or maybe Dr. Brett wasn't as good as I thought if these results are something he would have duplicated.I also be reported Dr. Nicolle Chacosky to the Pennsylvania Veterinary Board. She was only nine years old. In one month she went from a healthy dog with no issues other then a slightly wonky knee and a low grade, untreated heart murmur, to no longer with us. Dr. Chacosky wants to say underlying conditions in her excuses. Jamie had her physical 2 months before and got a clean bill of health. If you look up Demodex Mites, the underlying condition was the steroids that she prescribed without doing a $15 test to save my dog.I loved that little mutt more than I can possibly put into words. I miss her with all of my heart. If you have read this far, I am sorry for running on but I hope that the information at least helps someone. Thanks for listening. R.I.P. my sweet little girl.

really desapointet I hade to give one star cause the vet walk away after seen my kitten having an episode due to a heart condition and he left for the day early. Really unprofessional . Also other time it takes them 15 to snap one pill down my cats throat this cause my cat even more stress . I never want to pass that door in my entire life don't care about pets only for the money :( I'm so upset . Read Less

This is the absolute best pet care around. Dr Brett, Marlene, and the rest of the staff, have been there for my family and our pets so much over the years. Through good times and bad, BAH helped in every situation. I suggest them to everyone. They have become like family to me! Read Less

I love that they treat my Pierre,baby,crazy and mopito so good there. I called them last year to get information for cleaning Pierre 's teeth and I called other vets and I went back and called them because they took the time to give me all the details of what they would have to do, before Pierre could have his teeth cleaned. Pierre had to have lots of teeth taken out but he was ok. He eats well. He now has congestive heart failure and they are treating him and with prayers and the vets there Pierre is doing very good for now. Read Less

I've been pleased every time I visited Boulevard Animal Hospital. The Dr's and staff are like family to us. For many of our pets, for many years, Boulevard Animal Hospital has kept us Happy and Healthy for many years. Thank You All! Xoxo Read Less

We recently returned to Northeast Philadelphia after 2.5 years and needed to find a vet. A friend recommended Boulevard Animal Hospital. We have had to rely on their services multiple times over this past year for 4 different pets and have never been disappointed. It is easy to get an appointment, you rarely have to wait more than perhaps 10 minutes to be seen. Vet care is excellent and they follow up after your visit with a phone call. I highly recommend this veterinarian group. Read Less

I have been taking my 3 dogs here for over 10 years. Today, I had to bring one of my dogs in for a nail trim. Well, my dog was not such a good boy! Lol. I don't know her name, but our tech was very patient with him as he was jumping, crying and pooping. Such a baby he was. Thank you for being so patient and understanding with my asshole dog today!

I had a litter of puppies on November 1 I had a problem with one of them and God bless them they got me in that morning they help me with all the needs of my puppies. .The staff was wonderful service was fantastic and I'll never forget how they help me. Read Less

I love going to see Dr. Brett and Dr. Jill and so do both of my pups. Everyone at BAH is so wonderful with both of them. We live a good distance from it and we have many other vets that are much closer but we always take them to BAH because the care they give is amazing. Read Less

We have been taking our dogs to Boulevard Animal Hospital since we got our first Samoyed, Teddy, many yeas ago. Since then, every Samoyed (3), and all of our cats (5) have been cared for and loved by the doctors and staff at Boulevard. We would not go anywhere else! They love our pets as much as we do and never hesitate to show them loving care and affection. Their medical expertise is beyond reproach. When our pets have been sick, they always call to see how the pets are progressing and to make sure that their treatment plan is achieving positive results. On behalf of my husband and me, Teddy, Sammie, Yukon, Katie, Honey Cat, Wizzy, Mae-Mae, and Jake, we extend to the Boulevard Animal Hospital doctors and staff our appreciation, affection and gratitude for all that you have done for not only our dogs and cats, but also for your care for us when times are difficult. You are the. "BEST" and we love you all very much! Irene and Frank Wisniewski and our beloved pets.Read Less

This hospital showed such compassion and quality care when my dog was very ill. Thanks to my sister's encouragement, I took my little dog to BAH They saw him when my own vet of 10+ years refused him. Unfortunately, it was my dear one's last day on this earth but he left us in an environment of love, kindness and support. I am forever grateful. Read Less

I love this place. They cared for my three cats, one of which is diabetic, as though they were their own. When my cat was suffering from diabetes, they gave me their mobile numbers to test his blood sugar hourly throughout the weekend. My same cat was put down by them and they were so thoughtful and kind while we were there. They NEVER OVERCHARGE and are always conscience of every aspect of pet care and ownership. I wish people aspired to treat me so well when I visit the doctors office for myself! Read Less

We recently transferred to Boulvard animal hospital, and we are beyond happy. With 5 dogs, you really need a vet that you can trust, and I'm so grateful to have found that. Not only the vets, but the staff is amazing. Since we have gotten out littlest dog, we have been struggling to find someone who can handle clipping his nails. We have had some really bad experiences in the past. This morning we had the pleasure of seeing Diane, and she was nothing short of amazing. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy Julius. This is the least stressful that getting his nails clipped has ever been for us and him. Kind, compassionate, professional, we couldn't be more happy to have found your animal hospital. Read Less

My lola was 19 .I rescued her from the SPCA. It was time for her discomfort to end. It was very emotional but the dr and staff were wonderful. Today I got a personal sympathy card from them.....very empathetic people. Very kind. Read Less

We had to put down our loved 11 year old pit bull and the staff and vet were sooooo friendly and nice through the whole process !! As heart wrenching as it was to receive a card a few days later in the mail put a huge smile on our faces. This place has been amazing through my dogs life and our journey together ! A huge thank you is not enough Read Less

First Dr. Brett did unnecessary cosmetic surgery on my dog's eye without testing her tear production. Turns out she was not a candidate for this surgery.Dr. Jill verbally contracted to pay for my dog's eye drops for the rest of her life. After one year, she breached the contract. After saying how Dr. Brett is the father of her children and would never hurt a dog. Jeffrey Geffen allows vet techs to get customers to sign OR permits. Surgeons do not advise their clients information to make an informed consent.Vet techs are  practicing vet medicine without a license.Keep your pets away! Read Less

I was at the animal hospital with my dog just this weekend.Very friendly staff everyone greeted me and my dog. The wait time was less then 10 minutes.The Doctor and staff are very professional and do a great job of making sure the office runs smoothly with care and belly rubs for everyone ...well just the dogs lol Read Less

Love, Love, LOVE this place. I've been taking my 12 year old beagle here for years.... I love the staff and the vets there. They're not looking to bleed you dry of money and their honest with their opinions and are truly caring for the animals. My dog has had two major surgerys performed there and she's still going strong. Highly recommend them ! Read Less

One dog, two cats. Awesome place, great service, the nurses are always super friendly. Dr. Brett is super knowledgeable and doesn't try to take all your money. He always presents you with options. Definitely go thereRead Less

LOVE!! I have a male, ridiculously mean-to-people- kitty, Buckets. Dr. Jill is so dedicated to helping him and her staff really goes out of their way to accommodate us when he has to come for visits. Our Daisy mama, is a sweet itty, bitty, kitty and her Doc is Dr. Brett and he is fantastic. The entire staff is still just as nice and accommodating to her. They love on them and the kisses are free :-) I LOVE how they treat my babies (even the naughty one) as their own and sincerely love them! As a pet parent I am tickled how they are treated and the support I get as a pet mommy. I literally can call them at any time and they aren't pushy to bring me in to hit me with a HUGE bill. When I need to come in I'm normally a mess if not routine and they are so understanding and the fee is never overwhelming. A MORE than fair vet, in my opinion. They are pet parents and people, not just clinicians. They are so open to communication and they offer sound advice as well as textbook perfect answers and can explain in very simple terms. I am more than thrilled (if you couldn't tell). Everyone is amazing! I sincerely could go on forever! They are just amazing!!!Read Less

I can't say enough good things about this office. Originally, I had an emergency for my dog, I called at 430 on a Friday , she had never been seen here before. On the phone, they didn't ask a bunch of questions, just quickly said, bring her in, we will see her right away. As soon as I got there they took her right back, her dew claw grew into her pad and she was in extreme pain. They cut her nails, cleaned her pad out and gave her treats. The office visit and antibiotics they sent me home with were at very reasonable price.  Now normally my dog shakes and whines the entire time she is at her regular vet, not here. She was comfortable and she would of eaten their entire bowl of treats if someone would of let her!!! Next, my dad had been taking his dog to another vet for ear infections that never seemed to get better. We took her to blvd to get another opinion . She been seen 2x in a month by Dr Brett , her ear is the best it's been in her whole life , she's 14. He took the time to explain the medicines and his plans for the future regarding her health/ears. The office is busy however that doesn't stop them from giving you their full attention. I love this place and you are seen at your scheduled time, no waiting in the seating area for long periods of time! Read Less

I am grateful to Boulevard Animal Hospital for its kind, caring staff, but most of all for Dawn Urioste, DVM.  Dr. Dawn embodies everything one looks for in a veterinarian.  She approaches her patients with skill, diligence, and most importantly, with love.  I can think of no better vet in the Philadelphia area.

My 10 year old brother ( my parents cat) was very sick. We called our regular vet who we've been going to for years, Rockledge Vet and they refused to see him. They were no where near closing time. We called Boulevard who we've never been to and they fit us in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rockledge Vet is horrible. I would definitely recommend Boulevard vet. Read Less

I used B.A.H. several years ago. They were fantastic and very compassionate. The only reason I had to switch vet was due to cost. My cat had a rare form of Hodgkin's- usually found in dogs. They removed most of the lump but it grew back quickly and I had to put her down. I had her cremated and her ashes returned in a nice pine box. Back then (20 yrs ago)  they allowed me to give them post dated checks for all of the visits/surgery/testing and cremation cost. I'm not sure if they did this b/c I worked for the bank they used at the time or if it was a standard practice- but it was GREATLY appreciated! I was so sad to have to eventually stop using them (5 yrs later) due to cost. Great vets- highly recommended. Read Less

Sadly, we recently had to put our old dog to sleep. The staff at Boulevard Animal Hospital made the process as comforting as such a thing can be. I know their prices can run a little higher then other surrounding vets but I believe the quality of care justifies it. Read Less

I really don't have anything bad to say about this vet, the staff is always friendly and caring (except for Dr. Michelle who seems to have year-long PMS) and they have always taken good care of my scared little pup who hates vet visits. It's a bit pricey but worth it - I've never had to sit in the waiting room for very long, and they are good in sending out reminders about upcoming or overdue vaccines for my baby. Dr. Jeffrey is the bomb diggity. Read Less

Our twin mini doxies have been "patients" here since birth; they are now 3.5 yrs old. We've had the pleasure of seeing a few different doctors from this practice, all of whom were gentle with our "jumpy" and sensitive male pup, and attentive to our dogs' needs, but we absolutely LOVE Dr. Jill!She extends her support, understanding and patience every time we come in for check-ups or medical needs: answers our questions, provides recommendations and advice. And she was absolutely incredibly wonderful in extending her expertise (and emotional support) when our male dog accidentally ate a large amount of poison last summer. I was convinced we were going to lose him; but Dr Jill calmly and gently explained everything, provided the treatment and alternatives, and followed up for the next week to check on the status and the progress of our doxie.The male also had a minor surgical procedure when he was a pup, and the twins were spayed and neutered in the same office. All work was donee by Dr. Jill, and we are grateful to her for her expertise and attention, and to all staff for their friendly service and gentle treatment of animals. This is a great practice, without the overdone fru-fru office, but with gentle, caring staff. Highly recommend them. Read Less

Flat out TERRIBLE Vets at this location.  My dog was suffering from hair loss, diarrhea, limping, etc.  We told two different Vets at this location at several different appointments that we liked to hike quite a bit with our dog and that he received numerous tick bites despite us using frontline and tick collars.  It was suggested at Boulevard Hospital that he only had allergies and that we needed to buy $200 dollars worth of shampoo, special razor combs, and a bunch of other useless stuff.  After our dog continued to suffer from the limping/major diarrhea for months later we finally took him to Rockledge Vet Clinic on Huntingdon Pike and he was immediately diagnosed by Dr. Hutchinson with Lyme Disease.  Looking back I just can't believe it....  Here we live in the Lyme Disease center of the United States and they were so dense at Boulevard Hospital that they didn't test him???  What gets my goat even more is my husband and I mentioned it on multiple occasions that we wondered if it was Lyme Disease.  We got the response, oh no.... he just has allergies.  Please don't take your animal here.  Take the extra time to go to Rockledge Vet Clinic on Huntingdon Pike.  Dr. Hutchinson and her team are the most amazing vets and will take the time to really know your animal and properly diagnose him or her.

So-so ... I went there when they had an exotics vet.. And she was awesome!  But I took my other pets there a couple of times and always was disappointed.  Dr Michelle is very disinterested and automatic about care, and while Dr Geffin is nice enough, he is a bit of an alarmist and has never given me accurate information.  I have consistantly found out that what he told me was inaccurate and often times to his financial benefit.Last year I took a kitten there I had found.  She had Cerebellar Hypoplasia and walked with a wobbly limp.  He told me she may be rabid, and have panleukopenia AND distemper.  Those are the same disease.  That was the last time he did or ever will see me.
