Doc Around the Clock

Vet Who Makes House Calls

FreshDirect could find your place in a blackout. The takeout guy knows your middle name. And you haven’t done your own laundry since, well, ever.

You’re no convenience enthusiast. You’re a convenience junkie.

The next frontier? Convenience for your pet. Dr. Cindy Bressler considers Westside Veterinary Center on the Upper West Side home base, but she also believes in that brilliant and all-too-rare medical tradition: house calls. Meaning she’ll travel from TriBeCa to Washington Heights to treat your fuzzy companion’s runny nose, eye goober, or UTI in the comfort of your own home. Oh, and get this: She’s got a pad on the East End and splits her time between the city and the beach during the summer. (This lady’s clearly got it going on.) So if the Hamptons are your bag, she can come to the rescue there, too. You know, anytime Spanky’s too under the weather to bring you your slippers.

Because we know you’ve got him trained to do that. Goober or no goober.

Dr. Cindy Bressler (631-255-8556).
