Downtown Veterinary Associates is an amazing place to take your pet. They treat them with such love and care, it’s great! My dog Odie, loves all of the workers from the Jersey City location, especially Jenn! She’s always available for questions, comments, concerns, and belly rubs! I couldn’t imagine taking Odie anywhere else.

We always have a really good, welcoming and informative experience at Downtown Vet. It's easy to schedule and generally efficient, time-wise. I don't always see the same doctors but they are up to speed on our records and I don't get conflicting information. The docs are great and the techs are too (my dogs love Shawn! And everyone there) Thanks!

The vets and service here is amazing! I’ve been bringing my senior dachshund girl here for a while, and recently she had an emergency. This time we saw Dr.Drelich, who took precautions, gave good insights and helped greatly. The staff and as well as her, addressed updates and any following concerns at such a caring level!

Best vet hospital in town. Been taking my dogs here for years. Very understanding and knowledge vets and vet techs. Thank you all for the amazing service.

My pets, past and present have been going to the Tudor practice since the early 90s. I can't imagine going to any other veterinary. To top it off, they take 1st, 2nd & 3rd place for the best Veterinary Halloween spirit & decorations. Great job ladies (you know who are).

I lived nearby for a while and brought my two cats here many, many times. This place is excellent for cat care UNLESS you get Janirka Ponce.

I've had the displeasure of each of my cats encountering Dr.Ponce because she was the very available. She is clearly not a cat person at all and she was incredibly rude to me and genuinely a bad vet to both of my cats.

For my one cat, she barely looked at him for the checkup, asked why I was even there, and when I asked if he was overweight, she scoffed and said, "What do YOU think?"

For my other cat, I watched her crawl on the floor to give a barking, growling large pitbull kisses shortly after she told me she could not look at my seven pound cat's eye because he hissed at her. I asked if he scratched her or bit her or hurt her and she said no. (Are you kidding me? You cannot look at my cat because he hissed?! You're a vet! Try a little harder!) She REFUSED to look at him even though I was still charged for the appointment, she gave me sedatives for him that I was also charged for, and told me to come back and try again. A vet has never refused to look at my cat and my cat has never attacked or hurt a vet. He just hisses! He is literally so small!

I came back and did NOT DRUG HIM and requested my chart say I never have the displeasure of working with Dr. Ponce again. The next vet I had was AWESOME and he told me my cat's chart, per Dr. Ponce's notes, said my cat's eye was leaking yellow pus. He said he was confused because the cat's eye was just tearing up from allergies. I never said his eye had yellow pus and his eye was never yellow ANYTHING. She just MADE IT UP. ALSO, AS SHE TOLD ME, SHE DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT HIS EYE. This was blatantly untrue. She just made crap up on his chart and the nice, competent vet had to correct it.

Once I had on my chart to avoid Janirka, I had an excellent experience at this vet for many years. The staff members and all of the other vets I encountered were kind, competent, and genuinely always seemed to have my pet's best interests at heart. I always appreciated them trying to work with me to find the most affordable care options, too. The wait times were often super reasonable as well.

If you have a dog, Dr. Ponce might be fine. If you have a cat, literally request anyone else. Even the folks at the front desk didn't seem surprised I didn't want her to look at my cats, which leads me to believe I'm not the only one who's dealt with this.

TLDR: Come here with your cats for excellent care and honest service but request you do not have them seen by Dr. Ponce.

Everyone at the office is so welcoming and friendly, my dogs are actually excited to come to the vet! They really do care about the health and happiness of my pets.
