Dr. Jairo is very good..my cat Lacey got spaded on tues and I picked her up today.... When I brought her Home she went to sleep

Later when she woke up how heartbeat was really fast and she kept on moving around so I called Dr. Jaio and he calmed me down and he explained to me why she was feeling that way and to use the medication that they gave me for her and she will be alright well that helps a lot she is sleeping right now she seems to be comfortable .... westchester animal hospital staff were also very helpful. I have read all of the reviews and I decided to go to him and I am so glad that I did I have two of the kittens that I will be taking to him I love the staff the hospital is so clean everybody is so friendly and they love animals and I think that is really important... when you take your pet who is a part of your family to a place where you feel comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful and they love animals And the place is clean and you know you are at the right place...my cat has been there twice and they have been very good to her and that's all that matters to me is that when I take my lacy someplace that they are nice and gentle to hot and so far I am happy Dr. Jaio is very nice and he makes his self available to you at all hours of the night that's good for me so I will continue to take my animals there

Dr Jaio is the best vet out there!! I have benn to three others and he not only knows all about boxers but he cares!!!!!! He is NOT all about money he tells you the truth and doesn't try to run any tests that are not needed. One of my boxers passed away suddenly on a Sunday evening. We were besides ourselves to say the least. When we called him he had someone go and open up so we could bring our beloved Brutus in. The next morning at 7am he called to say how terribly sorry he was and that I shouldn't feel guilty because there was NOTHING we could have. His office also sent us a beautiful sympathy card. None of this needed to be done but Dr Jaio TRULY cares about not only his animals but us also!! He is the best vet and I will forever continue to bring my boxers to him. Thank you Dr. Jaio!!!!!!

I was a bit taken aback by some of the negative reviews,especially the "dr. evil"one.



Though I use a homeopath vet most of the time, I've taken my cocker, now 6 years,on and off to Dr.Jiao since she was a puppy.



I've ALWAYS known Dr. Jiao to be consistently caring, easily reachable no matter what the time, listens to me as the "parent", and respectful of the fact that I prefer a homeopath, and he, as the back up. He has no problem working in tandem with her, and has always been respectful of my decisions.



When Boo was fixed at 6 months, Dr. Jiao gave her pain meds (many archaic vets, to this day don't believe animals need it), and, let me be with her almost immediately.



I've talked to him at 2 a..m. when she ate a bar of chocolate, calming my hysteria, and remedying it within minutes,and made himself available throughout the night should I need it.



That being said, it'd been a good 3 years since she'd seen him physically. Looking up the address, I perused the reviews,and proceeded cautiously. Perhaps things had changed? I was about to find out.

Not at all. Dr.Jiao remembered everything about Boo, me,and even joked with my husband about his guitar lessons without prompting the remembrance that he's a musician! His examination concluded what I'd suspected, which was more about diet, than incurring costs.



In conclusion, my review is more in line with the positive ones, based on my experience, which has been absolutely consistent in the last 6 years.



The only negative, which is also consistent, are some of the knuckleheads at the front desk. I was quoted $42.00 for the blood test, only to find out at checkout it was for the stool sample. The blood test was $135.00. - a good $100.00 more than quoted. But luckily, Dr.Jiao helped out when I complained.



The age of web reviews is a double edged sword - one can avoid a terrible dentist, for example, but a disgruntled ex-employee can cause as much damage to a good one. Which is kind of what I suspect from the"anonymous" reviewer.



Here's my rule of thumb with reviews: If it's a negative, (or overwhelmingly but non-informatively, positive) see if they've given reviews elsewhere that seem objective. Or, if they've had more than one experience before giving the review.

the vets here are wonderful

very good clinc with a wonderful staff

This is an outstanding physician. He runs a very tight ship excellent staff, grooming and boarding as well. I used another Vet while I was using the Groomer at Dr. Jiao's. One day my Sebastian (dog) went for grooming and turned out to have a recurring ear infection and the Groomer Erin advising me to have it checked out. Our Vet at the time was on vacation and the rest is history and never looked back.
