i took my kitty there a few years ago and saw dr barbara eisner. not recommended. they tout themselves as a holistic practice, which was why i sought them out. i took my kitty there when he was being a very bad cat and not using his litter box, but instead using, say, my bed. after an exam and complete work-up to the tune of $300, she ultimately said there was nothing wrong with him and the only thing she could recommend was to put him on a pharmaceutical tranquilizer. won't that really affect his personality, i asked. yes, she said, he'll just sleep all day but he probably won't inappropriately eliminate on everything. great, thanks. so much for holistic.\r

i did take him there one other time and he was being a bad kitty (recognize a pattern?) and she knocked him out just to get an i.v. in him. turns out she gave him too much, though, so he was out in the office for over an hour, became dehydrated, and they had to give him fluids to revive him. total nightmare for me. cha-ching, cha-ching for them. that time he had a urinary blockage and she recommended surgery. again, so much for holistic. she did that time say i should change his food and sent me to whiskers in the east village. i ultimately changed his diet and eating schedule and it took care of both problems (sans surgery or pharmaceuticals, i might point out). i can't remember whether it was her or whiskers who recommended the food (abady). i think it was her, so that's one good thing she did. but it was the staff at whiskers who gave me info on eating schedules.\r

anyway. that was my experience. on top of all the problems i had with her, she's also relatively unpleasant. yuk.
