About the Animal Endocrine Clinic

The Animal Endocrine Clinic is the only clinic of its kind in the country that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cats and dogs with endocrine disorders. Dr. Peterson has set up two NY clinics (Manhattan and Bedford Hills) to service clients from New York City, Long Island, Westchester County, New Jersey and Connecticut.

This Clinic is separated into three divisions: the Endocrine Clinic, dedicated to diagnosing and treating dogs and cats with endocrine disorders; the Hypurrcat treatment center designed for treating hyperthyroid cats with radioactive iodine (I-131); and Nuclear Imaging for Animals, a state-of-the-art medical imaging facility where we use radioactive tracers to perform nuclear scanning (scintigraphy) for diagnosing of thyroid, bone, liver, and kidney diseases in dogs and cats.

The Animal Endocrine Clinic is a referral-only hospital, and does not offer prophylactic or routine care. We can be reached by phone at (212) 362-2650 or (914) 864-1631; by email at info@animalendocrine.com or on the web at www.animalendocrine.com.
