On Feb 8, 2017 Â brought my 8 year old cat Mini in for a check up. She had been presenting some intermittent lethargy. At that visit Dr Dan noted an irregular heartbeat. He did not mention any possible reasons for it. He did not recommend any test to determine the cause of this irregular heartbeat. Therefore I did not think anything of it.Â
Six months later 8/7/17 Mini's hindlegs suddenly became paralyzed. She could not breathe normally. I got her in a cab to see Dr. Dan. On the way there Mini screamed constantly and thrashed in the carrier.  By the time we got to Dr. Dan's Mini was dead. Dr. Dan looked at his notes of her irregular heartbeat from the Feb exam. He immediately knew what happened. Mini had a heart condition that caused a blood clot or 'saddle thrombus' to her legs, but it was a heart attack that killed her.
I have since sought advice from other veterinarians with my other 2 cats about what should be done when a cat has an irregular heartbeat.  They all say it should be tested with an echocardiogram. If heart disease is found medications are needed to slow the progression and avoid the godawful saddle thrombus which is extremely painful.Â
But Dr. Dan never offered an echocardiogram for Mini. He never said one thing to me about Mini's irregular heartbeat. Not until I brought her back 5 minutes into her death on 8/7/17. ANY input from Dr. Dan to me about her heartbeat at the Feb exam would have prevented what happened to Mini. Medications could have allowed her to still be alive today. But instead she went untreated for 6 months! I had put total faith in Dr. Dan and regret it so very much.  Dr. Dan totally failed Mini at her exam in Feb. As a result she died a horribly painful death. Dr Dan in the meantime got a fee for his detrimental exam in Feb and another fee to dispose of her body in Aug.response / report this review -

I am very grateful for everything Dr. Daniel did and continues to do for my cat, Cleopatra. Until we went to Dr. Daniel my cat was very sick and no one could diagnose her. She was prescribed numerous medications but she only got worse. After her first visit Dr. Daniel gave her the correct diagnosis and prescribed her medicine. Five years later we only trust Dr. Daniel, who is a wonderful and excellent doctor and a very kind person. We are especially grateful for his attentive and professional staff. In the event of an urgent matter, they do their best to accommodate you. This is the best place for your pet!

If I could give zero stars I would. This place locks dogs in tiny, wooden enclosures with NO WATER in 90 degree heat. I work in the office above and all day, everyday, I hear dogs crying and barking to get out. How can an animal hospital treat sick/injured dogs like this?? DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE!!!! This is despicable.
EDIT: To Stacy Lauridia: thank you for your response and explanation of what is going on here. However, we have seen several different dogs down there. Not just this black lab(?). I saw a shiba enu there recently, as well as another dog which was a mixed breed. I see no water in any of these dog runs, and when it is 90 degrees out and 90% humidity, this is unacceptable! I truly hope that the dog you were referring to is indeed treated as well as you say, because every dog deserves to have a beautiful, full life!response / report this review -

To the person (Dana Nirschel) who posted about dogs being locked in small boxes this is the most ridiculous post and couldn't be farther from the truth! The dog in the photo is actually Dr. Dan's pet dog Boris, who happens to be the most spoiled dog on the planet! This is a dog that literally gets to go to the beach to play every single day and gets walked all day long and loved unconditionally all the time!! Every dog should be as lucky as Boris and everyone knows how spoiled and loved Boris is and how ridiculous that post is that Dana Nirschel wrote. It would almost be comical, if it wasn't such an insulting blatant defamation of character towards Dr. Dan and the staff. Boris goes everywhere with Dan, all the time and the ONLY time he is in the outside dog run is when the landlord's reps come into the building because they are afraid of (all) dogs. He has never been "locked in a small box" for hours on end nor has any dog! Dogs are let out when their cages are being cleaned and no dog is ever out in the heat for more than 10 minutes at a time. When it is nice out, they can be outside for longer and they enjoy being outside. They are usually free to play in the open area unless they have an issue that we don't want them to run, (injury, surgery, etc.) and then they are in the dog run to get fresh air while the indoor kennel is being cleaned. Dana, you shouldn't make claims based on zero facts or knowledge of the situation. Every single member of the staff loves animals and they all treat every patient as they would their own pets. Literally tens of thousands of happy clients for over a decade, yet one person looks out her window to see a dog in an outdoor run for a short time and tries to make it seem like dogs are being tortured. At ANY business that dogs frequent, barking is par for the course. Dogs bark to go out, they bark to come in, and very often bark a lot when waking from anesthesia, and they are held and loved by technicians when they do. Working next to an animal hospital, sorry to say you will hear dogs barking all day. That is what they do and that is no reason to try to spread bad rumors about a loving, caring staff and hospital when you have never even stepped foot in the building to see how the animals are actually treated. By the way.the "tiny wooden boxes" are actually dog runs that are 10 feet long and 3 & 1/2 feet wide each! She took the photo from high above tiny wooden boxes they are not. People should not be allowed to review a business they have never stepped foot in and know absolutely nothing about.

Went in for a routine check-up and felt very good about the whole experience. The vet walked us through each step of the examination and had a very calming presence. It felt good to be in good hands, the cat was less enthusiastic.

Dr. Dan is a terrific vet. Our dog loves and trusts him, as do we.

I have brought at least half a dozen cats to the vets at this address. I have never had any doubt that they have my pet's best interests as their primary consideration. That's what I pay for.
Do they charge a little more? Yes.
Let me give everyone a tip: brain surgery, dental work, plumbing repair, clothing alterations, haircuts. Show me anyone whose first concern on those things is price and I'll show you an imbecile with bad teeth wearing a terrible suit and a lousy haircut wondering why the toilet flushes every time he turns on the hot water tap in the kitchen sink.
To be fair, they used to have a receptionist who was a monster. I haven't seen her in years though. Perhaps she was finally dragged back into hell.response / report this review -

Have been going to Dr. Dan for over 5 years now (two yorkies). Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great "bedside manner" or whatever the pet equivalent is. His office is usually really busy but is always and to fit us in if we have something urgent come up.

I found everyone to be super friendly and really good with animals. Everyone there seems like a genuine animal lover which is more than I can say for some other places. Dr. Dan is great, he has a very calming nature about him and you can tell he really cares for the animals. Reasonably priced.

We have been going to Dr. Dan at Murray Hill Pet Hospital for the past 3.5 years and we absolutely recommend him to everyone. He is kind, caring and respectful of all the dogs that we bring to him and his staff. They are very good about reminding clients when their shots are up for renewal and genuinely care for the well being of ALL their patients.
On a personal note, they've even called to follow up after my dog had surgery which was so sweet!
Can't recommend them enough to the community!response / report this review
