Dr. Cindy Bressler
Dr. Cindy Bressler, longtime Hamptons and New York City house-call veterinarian, is the creator of the first-of-its-kind emergency all night veterinary hospital in the Hamptons.
“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 brings 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 is staffed with emergency doctors and ICU nurses.
“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.”
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.

A highly respected board-certified veterinary internist and neurologist, he has devoted his decades-long career to practicing veterinary medicine with a difference—doing more, providing more, and caring more. His compassionate and sensitive approach has earned him the loyalty of thousands of pet owners and referring veterinarians alike. His dedication to advancing the field of veterinary medicine has garnered national, even international, recognition.
Dr. Berg received his DVM degree from Texas A&M University. He went on to complete his internship and residency training in veterinary neurology and internal medicine at The Animal Medical Center in New York City. He received board certification in neurology in 2000 and in internal medicine in 2002.
A seasoned business founder and owner, Dr. Berg previously launched Animal MR, Animal Specialty Center, and Bloodhound Laboratories. In 2017 he founded Guardian Veterinary Specialists, opening a 29,000-square-foot advanced emergency critical care and specialty hospital in Brewster, New York.
In 2020, he acquired and improved an emergency practice in Middletown in Orange County, NY, and renamed it Guardian Veterinary Emergency. In 2021, he purchased an established primary care hospital in the Bronx, NY, which is now known as Armory Dog and Cat Hospital, A Guardian Veterinary Practice. Demonstrating his long-standing commitment to helping animals in need, in this same year, he established Guardian HEALS, an independent non-profit organization, which provides financial assistance to qualified pet owners who can’t afford the cost of veterinary care.
Dr. Berg has received many awards for his work with the animal shelter and rescue communities and has served on the advisory board of the Westchester SPCA.
