Dr. Cindy Bressler, longtime Hamptons and New York City house-call  veterinarian, will open the first-of-its-kind emergency all night veterinary hospital in the Hamptons in Summer of 2025.

“In all the years I have been a house-call vet here in the Hamptons, we have had to transport pets in dire  situations at night to the closest emergency hospitals an hour or two away for full-scale treatment, and  very often pets don’t make it in time,” said Dr. Bressler. “Opening this clinic will bring emergency care  home, and with it, greater chances of survival.” 

Dr. Bressler has provided on-call availability and emergency care for pet owners in the Hamptons since  2003, but often cannot cover all aspects of emergencies on her own. This endeavor will bring vital  resources to a local site, allowing Dr. Bressler and her team to address emergency cases fully, and quickly to stabilize more specialized cases for transfers to larger emergency facilities when necessary.  The hospital will be staffed with emergency doctors and ICU nurses. For Summer 2024, please visit our After Hours Night Clinic in Water Mill.

“In busy summer seasons, the lack of a local emergency hospital was often tragic and eliminating the  need for patient transfers could have changed the entire story,” said Dr. Bressler. “Many more lives can  be saved now.” The pandemic has further exacerbated this necessity. Dr. Bressler added, “The  Hamptons are known to offer a wealth of amenities, but in an era of pet abundance fueled by Covid, our  residents and visitors can’t go another summer without an immediate emergency night vet hospital.” 

WAVE Center for Veterinary Emergencies will open its doors Summer 2025. The emergency team can be reached at 631-825-9283 or visit the After Hours Night Clinic page.

Dr. Bressler earned her DVM at The Atlantic Veterinary College in 1994 and completed her internship and residency  in small animal internal medicine at the Animal Medical Center in New York City in 2000. She has since treated her  New York City and Hamptons clients on call at their homes and during their travel. She is the creator and owner of  JetSetVets -- the only private jet veterinary service, and the founder of the Hamptons Canine Concierge.
