I want to begin by recognizing that the nurses and doctor were genuinely kind, attentive, and made my kitten feel safe. This review is not a reflection on their work, but rather on the customer service and overall experience with BondVet.
As a Columbia student, this is the closest clinic to me, so I was hopeful it would work out. Unfortunately, from the very beginning, the scheduling process was disorganized and frustrating. It took several days just to arrange a 15-minute phone consultation, and when the call never happened, I had to chase them by email and phone. This became a recurring pattern—appointments not honored, calls promised but not returned, and constant delays.
During our visit, I paid nearly $300 for a wellness exam, blood test, and medication. The quote for neutering my cat was another $600, and I was fully prepared to invest over $1,000 for quality care. After paying, however, I was told simply that “the surgical team would call me.” They never did. Every time I followed up, I was told to just wait, even after explaining how urgent the procedure was. When I finally pressed for a timeline, I was told the wait would be about a month. Had that been made clear upfront, I never would have chosen BondVet.
To make matters worse, when I finally did hear back, I was given confusing and inconsistent updates. At one point I was told my kitten’s bloodwork had “mild abnormalities” and would need to be repeated—but again, no clear timeline was offered. A week later, I was still waiting.
At that point, I chose another veterinary provider who immediately gave me a detailed timeline and treated my concerns with urgency and professionalism.
In short: if you value timely, reliable service for your pet, BondVet is not the place. Their clinic is beautiful and I’m sure not every employee has this ethic, but Kim and the desk agent from the 77th BondVet were condescending, rude and unprofessional.
