Welcome to the Animal Hospital of Niskayuna! The Animal Hospital of Niskayuna was established in 1936, originally as the Friderici Animal Hospital. We offer the highest standards of veterinary care and each staff member is dedicated to improving the quality of life of your pets. We are a member of the American Animal Hospital Association and can boast of accredited status for 60 years. This ensures that we adhere to the highest standards of care for your pets that the profession can offer. We are a fully-equipped, full-service veterinary hospital that can offer surgery, in-house laboratory tests, radiography, and ultrasonography on our premises. Your pets can benefit from our ability to consult with specialists in internal medicine and cardiology, via our telemedicine capability, for these experts' interpretation, clinical experience, and advice. We furthermore are able to offer such an array of services and still maintain that personal touch that only a small practice can offer. As a graduate of the Veterinary College at Cornell in 1985, Dr. Ron Scharf has benefited from a superior background in conventional veterinary medicine. Also unique to our practice is the availability of alternative and complementary veterinary medicine, such as acupuncture and homeopathy. Dr. Scharf was certified by the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society in 1988, and studied under Richard Pitcairn, DVM, PhD in his Professional Course in Veterinary Homeopathy in 1999 and 2000. We have the awareness that there are avenues of therapy to help your pets that the mainstream may not yet acknowledge. Our mission is to ensure the greatest well-being of your pets while maintaining your highest satisfaction. We take care of your pets as if they were our own! Our recent renovation provides handicapped access for both people and pets. Listen to Dr. Scharf on the Pets and Vets program, hosted by Glenn Busby on WAMC (FM 90.3), the third Wednesday of every month at 2:00 PM. We hope you like our website.
