About Uptown Paws
A Little Fancy. A Lot of Love.
Welcome to Uptown Paws, an animal hospital where high-quality vet care meets Upper East Side charm (and maybe a little dog hair). We’re not your average vet clinic. We’re the kind of place where cats get concierge service, dogs are treated like royalty, and pet parents sip coffee in a waiting room that doesn’t smell like… well, you know.
How It All Started
Dr. Maddie Buddendorf (aka Dr. B) didn’t just want to open another vet clinic, she wanted to create the go-to neighborhood spot for smart, modern, compassionate care with a boutique twist. After years of practicing in the big city, she decided it was time to launch her own version of veterinary magic, complete with a calming atmosphere, real conversations, and zero guilt trips.
What We Believe
Pets are family. Full stop.
You deserve clear, honest answers and options that make sense.
Treats and belly rubs are non-negotiable.
Veterinary care should be modern, but kindness is timeless.
A vet visit shouldn’t feel like a chore (for you or your pet).
