I used to rave about this place and gave them a dozen referrals

Dr Christian Sharp seemed very personable and seemed to love my golden R
As of last 1-2 months he has gotten less friendly and personable towards me and stopped interacting with my dog.

My dogs health has been declining and not feeling well and always had a runny nose and watery gunky and droopy eyes- Christian told me it was just allergys and give him benadryl..... I kept asking if he maybe he has an infection and could we put him on an antibiotic to see if it would work.... He kept INSISTING that he would have a temp/fever... And being he didnt mention he didnt have an infection ( I have been asking since early December .

Finally he was getting so bad I came back Saturday 1-12 and he gave me antibiotic and did blood test - Monday he told me I WAS RIGHT.... He had an upper respiratory infection- which I'm sure was taking a toll on his heart and health.... He got to week to even walk Tuesday and kept collapsing and his eyes were so gunky and droopy I had to put him down. The vet who came to my house to put him down told me he had been suffering from dry eyes and they have special drops for that to relieve the burning pain he had been suffer.

I want to know why Dr Christian couldn't SEE that diagnosis???
And why he was so adement that he could NEVER have an infection without a fever?

Please people- Dont trust his diagnosis and if you think something off with your pat- don't ask.... Demand it!

I guess as long as my dog was sick he would make more money off of me instead of helping my dog get better.

I will always believe had Cody got put on antibiotic in December his health wouldn't have declined!

So very disappointed in this Vet! :(((

FUI- I found out that they will make a payment plan for people- (well only there special) people.... I witnessed it it on Tuesday

Dr Christian Sharp- I'm very disappointed in you. I trusted you and so did Cody

Terrible experience would be an understatement! If you truly love and care about your pet do NOT go there & fully read this review! My cat was misdiagnosis by Dr. Sharp Jr., Dr. Sharp Jr. kept on proscribing her meds that eventually cost her heart to fail and led to her death. My cat was limping, so i took her to see Dr. Sharp Jr. where he prescribed her with bunch of different meds. When she seemed to be getting worse I went back and he kept on prescribing her with more meds, even though i told him i prefer not to give more pills. My cat was very healthy, I only brought her in because she was limping, him prescribing her with so many different pills for something so minute was very strange to me. The x-ray showed that there's nothing wrong with her leg and yet he kept on prescribing, instead of doing some tests or any tests for that matter to see what caused it. All along I've explained the situation to him, he was very dismissive and careless and just kept on prescribing her with more meds. My cat- Fionna, started vomiting none stop due to the meds which caused her heart to fail. After her death, I wrote to the Veterinary Medical Board, which concluded that Dr. Sharp Jr. was in fact was careless and prescribed meds that shouldn't have been prescribed to the kind of breed she was. They determined that he had no to little knowledge with my cat's breed and that indeed the meds that he gave her should have never been prescribed to her in the first place since it can trigger a heart failure and it did. I was doing everything in my power to have his license revoked, but since I'm only one person (amongst a few) they said it's not enough to have his license revoked and instead just fined him and made him take a class. I am heartbroken and nothing will bring back my cat, but you can still save yours by not going to Sharp Pet Hospital. Write me in my private if you have any questions or if you want a good referral for a great and cheaper vet in Noho.

I've been taking my pets to the Sharps for more than thirty years. The office staff are friendly, professional and always treat us with kindness and understanding. Their prices are unbelievably low, and they've NEVER tried to use my grief over a sick pet in order to get me to run expensive, unnecessary tests. But more than that, they understand that our pets are family. They genuinely care about their well being as much as we do and always treat them with the same dignity we'd expect for ourselves. They've actually cried with us when we've lost pets and during a recent wildfire, they called our family and offered to board our pets free of charge so they would be safe. I know they sound too good to be true, but you could not possibly hope to find a better, more decent and knowledgeable group of people to care for your pet. They are simply the Gold Standard and we are grateful they are there when we need them.
