Bruce Lowenstein DVM- Veterinary House Calls

Dr. Bruce has been my vet for more than 20 years. That speaks for itself. He is extremely kind, compassionate, and sensitive to my cats as well as my own anxiety around having them examined. It can be stressful for me as well knowing that my cats might be scared. Having Bruce come to my house (as opposed to having to round up the cats and take them into an office) is valuable to me. It cuts the stress in half for both myself and my cats. When Bruce comes to my apartment, he is so patient, gentle, and welcoming to the cats, that they come to him for their exam. He also takes so much time to explain everything he is doing and why in a way that someone who is not a doctor completely can understand. And if you have her pills that they need to be brought into an office setting , he does not hesitate to recommend that. He has always answered my calls. If he does not pick up the phone right away, he responds very quickly (usually within minutes) no matter what time of day or night it is. he really is an angel and works tirelessly in his mission and obvious calling to provide the most thorough and loving care to all pets. He is really extraordinary and I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bruce.

Dr. Lowenstein is the absolute best! His expertise and knowledge are outstanding, not to mention he is incredibly responsive, thoughtful and empathetic. He truly cares for his patients like they are his own and is one of the best veterinarians out there. Unfortunately we moved out of state, so we can no longer use him as our primary vet, but I still contact Dr. Lowenstein whenever I have any concerns or questions regarding my cat’s health and he is always super responsive and willing to offer his advice and insight over the phone and text. I cannot recommend Dr. Lowenstein enough - he is one of a kind!

Nearly 3 years ago, the clinic across the street told my partner and I that we needed to consider euthanizing our 16-year-old cat Evie because of her severe, intractable constipation. She had hit a crisis point and was barely eating. Somehow, in my panic, I stumbled across online reviews for Dr. Lowenstein. Thank goodness I did, because Evie is still living a happy, high-quality life 3 years later. Dr. Lowenstein is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but more than anything, he will give as much time as it needs to figure out your pet’s problem. He spent a lot of time on the phone with us at the beginning, troubleshooting and adjusting Evie’s medications. He also explained everything carefully. The clinic across the street had given us the impression that there was little room for upward adjustment on the meds. On the contrary— there was tons of room, and Dr. Lowenstein explained in specific detail what dosage was possible for a cat her size. Ultimately, she just needed time, follow-up, and patience to sort out the issues that had seemed completely unmanageable. It felt almost miraculous, but it was just the kind of good old fashioned medicine that you don’t get at vet clinics now. After a couple of years, Evie had another issue come up. This time, she needed a visit to a specialist. We were worried— one of the reasons why we were happy to have Evie seen at home was because she was utterly terrified by vet visits— but Dr. Lowenstein was able to send us a prescription that would help keep her calm for the visit. He also knew the best person for her to see, and he got us an appointment much more quickly than we would have been able to on our own. It was an incredibly helpful visit, and with the knowledge we gained there, we have been able to work with Dr. Lowenstein to manage this condition as well. I can’t believe how much extra time we’ve gotten with our beloved girl because of him. She is still full of life and sass and snuggles at 19. When our 14-year-old kitty Jerry was diagnosed with cancer several months ago, we made the difficult decision to let him live out his life at home, rather than pursue more treatment. We asked Dr. Lowenstein to take over his care, because we knew he would be invested in making sure Jerry was comfortable and happy. Jerry was EXTREMELY aggressive when put in a carrier and at the vet’s, so it was a relief to have him seen at home. We came to the end with Jerry this week. Dr. Lowenstein was incredibly helpful in talking through when it might be time. He didn’t make the decision for us, but he gave us all the information and things to consider for us to make the decision that we felt was right. He was especially patient and generous during these hard discussions, and helped us find clarity in what is a confusing and overwhelming situation. We were also worried that Jerry, even in a weaker state, might still be aggressive at the end and not go peacefully. Dr. Lowenstein talked through this with us and prescribed medication to calm him beforehand. When he came to help Jerry pass, he took his time to make sure that everything would go smoothly and peacefully, which it did. Afterward, I had some clay ready to make paw print impressions, but after struggling for a bit unsuccessfully, I was about to give up. Dr. Lowenstein offered to help, and even though this isn’t something he usually does, he turned out to be great at that, too. He treated Jerry with dignity and care, and I feel so at peace with his end. I really can’t recommend Dr. Lowenstein highly enough. He is seasoned and skilled and kind and all kinds of wonderful things, but most of all, he will truly care about your pet, and he’ll follow through on that to do whatever is needed to be sure that it gets the best care.

Dr Lowenstein took care of my two senior cats in my apartment when they were sick. Dr Lowenstein is very personable and compassionate while speaking with me about diagnosis and treatment. I have a difficult time when the cats are being examined and blood is taken because they meow and get mad. Dr Lowenstein handles the cats with care and puts them in a jacket so they cannot scratch, then they calm down as they seem to know no one is there to harm them,. Dr Lowenstein is really gentle and treats the cats so well. The cats always react positively to any meds and Dr Lowenstein shows me exactly how to administer them via ears or mouth. I am so glad he takes care of our cats.

Dr Lowenstein went above and beyond to help me with my fur baby. It’s hard enough as a human to move, and I knew it would be stressful on my fur babe. Dr Lowenstein was able to give her a full examination to ensure she was ready to fly. My cat tends to be tender and sweet, but nervous - he eased her, and prepped her for flight which went wonderfully! Now she’s united with me, and we are thrilled!
