Welcome To Westside Veterinary Center
Your Upper West Side, NYC Veterinarian
Westside Veterinary Center is pleased to serve New York City and the surrounding areas. We are one of few private practices in NYC, which means that we are owned, managed, and operated by the people working at our practice every day, not a corporation that requires a bottom line. Veterinary medicine is going through steady corporate buy-outs and consolidation, and we’re proud to stand as an independent private practice and plan to continue as a private practice. Our goal is to provide you and your pets with the best veterinary experience possible.
At Westside Veterinary Center, everyone is considered a leader and an integral member of the health care delivery team. Every day at Westside Veterinary Center, it is our friendly team’s responsibility to help make your veterinary experience a positive one to ensure that both you and your pet are at ease. In addition to mandatory veterinary knowledge and training, our team is selected for kindness, compassion, patience, professionalism, integrity, and agility.
We are here for you, we are here for your pet, and we are your neighborhood’s favorite vet. Please don’t hesitate to contact us today at (212) 580-1800 to request your pet’s appointment!
24-Hour Nursing Care
Should your pet require hospitalization, we provide excellent nursing care so he or she is never unattended. We make sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible during their stay in our hospital.

What Our Clients Say
I am one of the oldest clients-- since before the doors opened in the 80's. I have had excellent vets, the lives of cats saved in emergencies and prolonged in ordinary non-emergency life. It is always state of the art care--and personal. Photos are of emergency survivors--a litter of 5 at 6 weeks from food poisoning and cardiac arrest during castration. Thank you, Westside.

Dr Friedman is a gift from Heaven. My dog and cat have been seeing her several years. She picked up on my dogs lung cancer extremely early and saved his life. We were referred to specialists who promptly removed the cancer. She is the absolute best. Extremely professional and extremely kind human being. Her support staff is equally fantastic and I paid some of them to walk the dog when I was out of town. They are all fantastic. Best vet clinic I’ve ever been to, and I cannot sing the praises for Dr Friedman any louder. She is so very brilliant and kind.

I love this place. Dr. Friedman is amazing and my dog Chase really loves her. Her and all of the staff are gentle and so attentive and make us feel super welcomed. I’ve been to plenty of vets and have never been treated so well like we are here. So thankful to have started coming here.
