About Vet

Hello! I am a veterinarian with 20+ years of experience. I have worked as an anesthesiologist and as a general practitioner over the years to enable myself to reside in NYC where I live with my family including 2 dogs. I am happy to help with pain management, anxiety, cancer pain as well as more routine matters. I like helping families manage chronic conditions because this enables our bond to continue with our family pets as they age and nothing is better than old dogs or cats :) I also am happy to help my clients understand and process what is happening with serious illnesses. Your concerns about your pet resonate with me as I too am a concerned, attached pet owner who tries to do the best for my companion animals.

Dr. Hess worked quickly, helping me to find a 24 hour pharmacy to get him on medication asap. She was very thorough in her questioning, checking my houseplants to see if they could have caused his vomiting. Figgy is doing much better now!
