During the many years I have been using Dr. Amsterdam (about 15 or so) he has literally saved the lives of several of my pets. The most innovative and dramatic one is as follows: When he moved to Presidential Parkway, I thought Dr. Amsterdam had stopped practicing so I went to another highly recommended vet. My cat swallowed quite a bit of thread and it was hanging out both ends. The other vet said there was nothing I could do. The poor cat was choking on it and trying to evacuate it through his bowels. He was in terrible distress. I found Dr. Amsterdam and he had to make 5 incisions on my cat's abdomen and carefully coax the thread out. That cat lived several more years and brought me much love and joy. Another cat had back pain. Dr. Amsterdam used chiropractics to ease the cat's pain, which seemed to work. I would NEVER use any other vet.

Sure the doctor might have a heart for animals, but not humans apparently. He told a family member that he's heard their sob story before when they took a pet in for an emergency visit. I don't understand how someone can be so cruel to a customer who is already very upset. What an awful person.

Dr. Amsterdam is VERY VERY nice. He treated my dog great and was friendly with me. His prices are also competitive with most in this area of town. Highly recommended.
