Working with Your Primary Care Veterinarian
We are committed to working closely with your pet’s primary veterinarian to ensure coordinated care. If you need AMC to send any reports or results to your primary veterinarian, please fill out our Medical Records Request Form or request that the records be sent during your visit.
The Only Level 1 Trauma Center in NYC
Where you go first in an emergency matters.
When your pet is sick or injured, you want them in the best hands. That’s what you get when you visit a Level 1 Trauma Center. You’re ensuring your pet’s care is overseen by experienced board-certified emergency and critical care specialists with access to the technology and resources to diagnose and treat any issue your pet may have.
Everything Your Pet Needs Under One Roof
In an emergency, time is of the essence – AMC’s collaborative care means timely diagnosis and treatment.
No pet owner wants to visit the ER only to be transferred to another facility that can provide better care. That will never happen at AMC. Our 20+ in-house specialties and services–including a world-renowned Avian & Exotic Pet Medicine Service–are available to ER patients for consultation and referral, and our accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) means that your pet will always receive the highest standard of care.
