This is a shout-out about two wonderful Brooklyn vets who have been very kind to a friend’s new cat. Heather Thompson DVM recently opened Brooklyn Heights Veterinary Hospital, which is located on Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights. She works with a vet named Beth Balsam DVM.

“They are both exceedingly kind and very good vets,” says Hillary Ghertler, whose cat Benjamin was very ill recently. “They took over a  rather derelict vets office in a charming old building that had been closed for some time.”

Their care for Benjamin included house calls, great compassion, and smart medicine. Benjamin is now on the mend and Hillary, who has dealt with many vets in Brooklyn, is thrilled with Brooklyn Height Veterinary Hospital.

Thomson has plans to remodel  the entire space including putting in all modern diagnostic equipment. According to my friend, they are the only vets in the heights. Their general medical services include: dermatology – treating allergies and other skin diseases; ophthamology; wellness Services, puppy exams, Vaccinations, blood Screening, parasite monitoring and Treatment AND house calls.

Here are the details:
