Review content:
First time reviewing anything - I just wanted to respond a poor review that I found unfair.
First of all, I will agree that the front desk staff is hit or miss. There is at least one lovely receptionist who greets patients and clients warmly and professionally. On the other hand, there are a few others who are less than friendly on the phone.
As for the veterinary staff, Dr. Kuhlman is by far the best. We began bringing our puppy to Gramercy in 2010 and will continue going until Dr. Kuhlman retires. The best thing about Dr. Kuhlman (aside from his clear enjoyment of his job and animals) is that he won't talk you into unnecessary procedures (as many vets looking for an extra buck will.)
On our first visit, I asked him whether we should vaccinate our pup against leptospirosis - a water-borne disease (I am considering veterinary medicine, so I've done much research on vaccinations and the like...). To my surprise, he explained that living in NYC, there was really no reason to expose our pup to the risks of vaccination and the expense when the odds of his being exposed to such a disease we so low. Most other vets would be happy to accept the extra fees, but Dr. Kuhlman takes into consideration the welfare of the animal as well as your wallet.
As for the reviewer who was dissatisfied with Dr. Kulhman's plan to treat his/her dog for allergies prior to doing a scratch test - they don't realize that most allergy remedies are going to be the same regardless of the root cause. To skip the test saves you time and money and isn't uncommon in the veterinary profession - particularly from someone with as much experience as Dr. Kuhlman.
I will also note that we have seen other vets at Gramercy and they're fine, but I often get the impression that they're in a hurry. Also, it always ends up costing a lot more than our visits with Dr. Kuhlman - I'm not sure exactly how or why that happens but I prefer Dr. Kuhlman's bedside manner and hands-off attitude.
