Veterinarians near Glen Gardner, NJ

“Doctor and staff are amazing and have been helpful since day one when we found a stray kitten and without taking our name lent us a carrier. He's conservative with medicine (in the best way--willing to treat/test when necessary, show us how to perform tests/record/etc so we get control groups and can recognize patterns) and not gimmicks, which I appreciate from the old school horse world stuff (one of our cats needed an ultrasound specialist and although inconclusive he personally called to say we'd be welcome for a 2nd opinion/no hurt feelings--we decided to wait it out because same lab and it healed itself so he described a lot about animal physiology). He also figured out one of our cats had a major digestive issue and has gladly taught me how to check eyes and teeth and what to look out for. One of our cats is very afraid and he's great with him, and the other cat now is so used to the vet, she gets silly and rolls around a little so he can play with her a few seconds first. The staff is familiar with ours as well and is so compassionate and to the point, and on the phone when we haven't been able to come in, they've helped me identify whether things are emergency or not, how long to wait, etc. I also couldn't believe this but as we only have one car, they invited us to bring in our cats early for a drop off and sometimes late pick up when transport is an issue. Maybe that's a small issue to some people, but for low income, that's life changing, and the team has been completely honest with us about what treatments are necessary and what won't make much difference at all realistically and teaching me how to do things on my own/what to recognize so I can do minor things myself. That's kindness.So people are aware, there is often a long wait due to it being a small practice and some emergencies so bring a book, seriously. Great way to get reading done!”

“All of the staff and vets are so nice and helpful. I even received a call 2 days after I had been there to see how my dog was doing. It wasn't anything major that I brought him in for, so I was impressed that I received a call. Highly recommend.”

“Always happy when there’s an affordable and caring veterinary team local! They see our cat and dog for regular check up. But they’ve also been working with us trying to get our dog’s allergies figured out. They’re always very accommodating and get us in quickly.”

“My 11 year old cat needed some dental surgery. Dr. Pope and Dr. Schepp were amazing during and after. I cannot thank them enough along with every single member of the staff I dealt with, from techs to the front desk. Everyone was so kind and caring for my sweet girl. Thanks to everyone at South Branch!”

“Dr Marks is the best! my dog Norman LOVES her and he’s usually picky with certain people. You can tell she has that love for ALL animals and is willing to do whatever’s necessary for both the animal and the owner. Her staff is also super helpful and extremely caring. Can’t recommend this place enough for any dog owners”

“Having gone through several vets due to many relocations, I can with ALL HONESTY say Dr. Ross is the finest on every level. He's talented, intelligent and genuinely cares about your pet. Cannot recommend high enough!!”

“Dr Mary and staff are amazing. I travel an hour and 15 minutes to get there because she is the only repo-vet I trust. She helped me breed my first litter via AI. My puppies were micro chipped and examined at 8 weeks and most recently she did an ultrasound on one of my puppies and included me in the exam room to watch the screen. Where I live you can’t get a vaccine titer blood test but Dr Mary does and because of that I don’t have to over vaccinate my dogs. Love her!”

“I cannot say enough good things about this veterinary team. We brought our 16-year-old dog, Sophie, in after she took a bad fall on our hardwood floor. She was suffering from internal bleeding and critically low blood pressure, and we were terrified we might lose her.

The doctors and staff acted quickly and professionally — placing her on IV fluids, administering medication to help clot the internal bleeding, and ultimately performing a blood transfusion. Throughout the entire process, they were compassionate, calm, and honest, explaining everything clearly while treating Sophie with incredible care and dignity.

Today, six days later, Sophie is home and doing well — something we honestly weren’t sure would be possible. We are beyond grateful for the skill, dedication, and kindness shown to both Sophie and our family. This team truly gave us more precious time with our beloved dog, and we will never forget that.

Thank you.
Kenny & Chelsea. Pruckowski.”

“My experience with the Animal Health Center and shelter has always been excellent. I have rescued 2 dogs and 2 cats from them. And in the future if I rescue again I would definitely go to Common Sense!”

“Dr. Lorraine Marks is by far the most empathetic, and emotionally connected doctor of veterinary medicine. Whether it is a routine visit or an emergency, Willie has always been handled with loving care. She and her entire staff are an undeniable contribution to Willie's health and longevity. Regardless of the situation, we have always experienced love, caring and professionalism with every visit. Thank you for being an irreplaceable part of our lives with our beloved fur babies.”
