Does anyone have experience with dog CT scans in Manhattan?

What it says on the tin. I'm considering having some imaging done and would be interested in any stories of personal experience at any (still operating) facility. I understand it's going to require some form of anesthesia and thus is going to be $$$. For that reason in particular, I'd welcome any recommendations/warnings! Thanks.

Blue Pearl Downtown was great when I had my dog (2011 - 2019), but not always as transparent about pricing as you might hope. If you go with them, I'd recommend asking for an itemized quote up-front as it wasn't their standard practice when I used them (1 emergency bloat surgery, 1 successful cancer treatment, 1 diagnosis of a second fast-moving cancer, and they put my dog to sleep). The staff, at least back then, were really lovely and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in their care, but they were expensive.

I've just started using Bond for my new cat (there are no independent vets left in my neighborhood) and they're spectacular at itemizing costs and making sure you approve all expenses. I would definitely reach out to them about a quote. I think most of their locations have surgery/scan facilities.
