Murray Hill Pet Hospital

Serving Manhattan with over 50 years of experience in veterinary medicine, the doctors and staff of Kalvig & Shorter Veterinary Associates are pleased to offer their clients and patients personalized attention in customer service and patient care. On April 1, 2013, we opened our new full service hospital at 133 East 39th Street, at Lexington Avenue. Our Midtown location offers full hospitalization services for our Manhattan and outer borough clients, as well as our ongoing Upper East Side and housecall practices.. Our practice was founded upon a strong belief in the need for thorough, honest, and compassionate service within all healthcare fields. Kalvig & Shorter Veterinary Associates serves the individual needs of our many clients and their beloved pets by offering a kind and experienced approach to medicine, surgery, nursing care, and customer service. Top priority is always given to our patients' comfort, with extra attention provided by our staff of experienced and loving nurses. It is our pleasure to offer individualized care to each of our patients and their owners, rather than maintain a high volume facility, with less time allowed for the many important details of quality service and communications. As the chosen health care team for your beloved pet, we place great value upon our clients' opinions and trust. We are pleased to work with you to help you spend many happy, healthy years with your pet--our clients appreciate that together we are all close members of their pet's healthcare family. Clients' compliance and feedback to our recommendations, combined with excellent home care, allow us to succeed as a team in treating a large and vital geriatric pet population within our practice. We believe that a preventative diagnostic and health maintenance approach, coupled with loving home care, offers the greatest success for a healthy pet and a long quality of life. In addition to this, medical management, surgery, and nursing care in the hospital are recommended when appropriate and necessary.We are pleased to offer a comprehensive range of hospital services including in-house diagnostics, pharmacy, dentistry, radiology, and surgery with state of the art monitoring equipment, medical boarding, and complete out-patient services. In addition, we offer internal medicine consultations with procedures such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, and echocardiogram, as well as surgical consultations for a wide range of orthopedic and soft tissue procedures available on site. We value the close relationships we share with top board- certified veterinary specialists in the fields of internal medical, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, critical care, neurology, ophthalmology, oncology, nutrition, training and behavior, to offer the very best diagnostic and therapeutic advice to your pet at all times. As well, we offer excellent referrals to top trainers, dog walkers, daycare, boarding facilities and grooming salons.If we may be of service to you in any way, please do not hesitate to call us-- we look forward to meeting you.Very Sincerely,Dr. Barbara A. Kalvig, Dr. James M. Shorter, and the Doctors and Staff of Kalvig & Shorter Veterinary Associates

There’s even more to PetsApp…

Watch now

Being a mobile/concierge practitioner is a very niche market, so there are always questions from colleagues and clients about the differences, and the benefits compared to a brick and mortar.

From differences in expenses and in clientele - every visit is always an experience. Preparation prior to the appointment is key for a stress-free visit for the patient and client.

Tools such as PetsApp and other advances with clear communication is what sets us apart, and keeps that family feel that clients are seeking and expecting from this special experience.
