Best Vet for Ever

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Dr. Eldridge is the best Vet.

When I moved from Croton 10 years ago, I continue to drive 40 miles to bring my cat and now a new cat to her practice. Having been with Croton Animal Hospital from '91 to 2001, my only regret is that I didn't join her practice those 10 years earlier. I suspect, all dr.'s of all stripes make mistakes, but I find her smart, dear & professional. She never price gouges and only charges what she pays for medication to her patience.

You may reliably believe all positive reviews which are many. She is head and shoulders above the rest.

Dr. Eldridge -Croton on Hudson -Vet Clinic

Dr. Eldridge poorly misdiagnosed my cat over a two month period - she mistaken stones for a stress disorder and prescribed incorrect treatment and medications that were not appropriate for the stones.

She suggested I put my cat outside if he continues to urinate. The staff was not empathetic- after I brought the cat to the emergency room in White Plains on a Friday evening - and spoke to the Dr. Eldrige on the following Monday she did not request to see him but to wait two to three weeks as he still had blood in urine. I called again - as he still had blood in his urine.

She is uncaring, not knowledgeable. She may be terrific with dogs - clearly she is not interested in the best interest, health and well being of this cat and probably from what I have heard many other families their cats. My second opinion provided me an x ray within 5 minutes and determined stones - she wanted my cat to be on high dosages of anti stress medication.

Frankly Dr. Eldridge of Croton Veterinary Clinic located in Croton on Hudson should lose her license

Dr. Eldridge has been a caring knowledgeable vet as far as I am concerned, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

She treats the care as a collaborative effort, and I have found her staff to be considerate.

It's possible she was wrong in the situation described; that happens sometimes. The fury of the first poster is not merited, while I can respect her sadness

People are not perfect, and we all make mistakes. It always is unfortunate when mistakes happen, but I feel if the person's INTENTIONS are all good, then all should be forgiven...On another note, I brought my cat to a vet who wanted to give my cat over $300 worth of tests, I went to Dr Eldridge for a second opinion, and thank goodness I did...she said he had tapeworm, gave him a shot, and charged me $30.

The cat is now fine, and my wallet is much happier :) And, my cat loved Dr.

E much more than Dr. $$$

Guest

We have taken two cats and five dogs to Dr. Eldredge since moving to this area in 2000.

In our opinion there is no one better. Dr. Eldredge is extremely knowledgeable, overwhelmingly compassionate, and supportive above and beyond the call of mere duty through the problems of our aging, diabetic cats and a series of rescued Malamutes with a variety of serious presenting health issues.

We have often said we would trust her with our OWN health before we would many MDs. Caveat lector: "let the reader beware" and judge the weight of the evidence here.

Guest

Dr. Eldredge is a wonderful vet..I have taken my cats there for over 10 years.

She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and definitely not in this for the $$.

She always phones me (sometimes from home in the evening) to keep me apprised of any lab results, treatments, etc. She is the best!

Guest

I have utilized the services of Dr Eldridge for around 10 years. I find her to be extremely thorough when examining my cats.

She fully explains things to me in language that is understandable. She is not a vet who is solely after the money.

Her fees are reasonable. Most important to me is SHE CARES!

I have recommended Dr Eldridge to friends and they, too, have been happy with her.

Guest

I have experienced quite the opposite with my cat. She is an amazing vet and took great care of both of my cats.

She also cared so much about my dog that was very old and dying of old age, that she took him home overnight so he would be personally cared for the night before he died.

We all knew there wasn't anything to be done at that point and she just wanted him to die in peace. Talk to anyone in Croton and they rave about her.

Guest

I agree with the positive comments. Love taking my pets there and her prices are so reasonable. I highly recommend her.

I have been going to Dr. Eldridge for 3 years now..

And P. OFF maybe she did "miss" something... IT HAPPENS... BUT let me tell you something...

SHE is NOT about BUSINESS FAR FROM IT... I had a 6 eyar old goldendoodle that we ended up having to put down, but long story short, Dr. Eldridge and her staff cared more about my dog then about their profit! Just look at the response from everyone here...

how could all of us be wrong but YOU be right??? SH*! happens... and sometimes things get missed, doesnt mean she's a bad vet...

maybe your cat was a difficult case... who knows either way as long as your happy now...

have at it! :grin

Guest

:( In my opinion, Dr. Eldridge is probably the worst vet I have come across.

Sure, she is fine if you just have to take your animal in for their shots/ check up... but when it comes to your vets health- she could care less. It is quite obvious that she is more about business than having a love for pets. She diagnosed my dog with a bladder infection and put her on meds.

After the meds were coming to an end, I called her to follow up because there was still blood in her urine-- No call back. Called her again 2 days later-- No call back. Finally went over there the following week and she prescribed different medication (which also did not work) And also, she didn't even bother to come out and see me when I was there. Called her yet AGAIN to inform her that the medicine wasn't effective-- No call back.

I came home one day to find my poor dog whimpering and barely able to walk.

Took her to a different and AMAZING vet and now she is SO MUCH better!

Dr. Eldridge has absolutely no idea how to handle her patients. After my dog being in pain for over a 4 month period (believe it or not), and after numerous UNANSWERED messages I had left- I finally switched vets.

Sure, she may be cheap but that's the only good thing about her. She has no bedside manner what so ever, and overall just a BAD vet.

I wish I found out much sooner than I had. Much happier now :)

Dr. Cynthia took care of my elderly cat for many years with skill and honesty. Although he had multiple health problems, he lived a very active life.

Her staff is friendly and my calls are ALWAYS returned.

She cares about her clients and their pets.

I wouldn't trust my pet's care to anyone else.

Guest

Well that is definitely one persons opinion. I have been going to Dr.

Eldridge with multiple cats and dogs and have found her to be extraordinary. She saved my cats vision and would highly recommend her.

I've been going to Dr. Eldridge for about 5 years for my 2 cats.

She has been nothing but attentive, caring and always calls me back. I just had a problem with one of them 2 weeks ago on a Saturday right before the office closed, she got on the phone, listened to my concerns, and assured me and told me what to do. She has always been very accurate and caring with my cats. Her staff is also wonderful, caring and professional.

Her prices are also reasonable. This the first negative thing I've ever seen/heard about Dr.

Eldridge. She's fab.

Guest

Dr. Eldridge has been the vet for our dog and cat over the past 4 years.

We've always found her to be professional, caring and very courteous...and helpful with our pet issues. We were introduced to her by our dog's breeder.

Guest

Have utilized the services of Dr. Eldredge for probably 10 years.

She has been caring, attentive, knowledable and professional. And she has an excellent staff who are friendly and very helpful. And her rates are definitely reasonable. A friend adopted a dog at SPCA and went to a Briarcliff Manor vet for a free exam for the adopted dog.

When he left this Briarcliff vet he was billed over $2,000!

Friend now brings his dog to Dr. Eldredge and has been very happy with her services, staff, and rates.

Guest

P. Off and the other negative poster are really way off the mark.

Dr. Eldredge is one of the most skilled vets, not to mention accomodating and nice. She never misdiagnosed mine (and that can happen with any vet btw) and have many friends who have go to her for years with all species of animals. Unbelieveable.

These people must be smoking something or are just, well, disagreeable. They've both written in such hyperbole it's ridiculous. "Absolutely no idea how to handle her patients..."?

She's the only vet I would go to. That's it.

IF YOU THINK SHE'S BAD YA OUTTA GETTA LOAD OF HUBBBY DR CHARLES ELDRIDGE IN UTICA NY. HE CAUSED MY MOTHERS DEATH

Guest

She probably offered to take x-rays. But you probably declined due to the cost.

Now you want to blame her.

Guest

Dr Eldridge is one of the best practitioners I have ever brought my dog to.

She is smart, professional, sweet and clearly not out take your money!!!

She is the only vet I will ever use.

If you are reading this Dr Eldridge please ignore those nasty negative comments.

Believe me you are one of the best!!!!!!

Thank you for all you do. Evonne
