Uptown Paws Veterinary Clinic

Not your average vet clinic, and that’s just how we like it. Uptown Paws is a boutique veterinary experience in the heart of the Upper East Side, where cats are respected, dogs are adored, and pet parents are treated like VIPs (Very Involved People). We blend top-tier medical care with ultra-gentle, a lot of heart, and just enough drama to keep things exciting; the good kind, not the “my dog ate socks again” kind. So come on in, take a bow, and let’s make your pet’s health the star of the show

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. My family were longtime clients of the Animal Clinic of New York, which Dr. B took over, renamed, and fully renovated in September 2025
