    Alexsandra S.

    Dr. Rita Rivero is a true professional. She is amazing and very knowledgeable with veterinary medicine and how to treat leant type of dog condition. My little puppy Simba is my son and she treats him like he is her own dog. She is very friendly, gives descriptive explanations of the treatments/vaccinations/medicine and knows how to get along with the dogs. Her facility is VERY CLEAN. Everything is sterile, and she takes care of pets one by one.

    What a horrific experience!! Boarded my dog for less than 48 hours. Upon picking him up he had an enormous deep gash right below his right eye. Dr. Rita Rivero did not even call or tell us about it when my husband picked up the dog. She just handed him the dog and said goodbye. When he questioned her how he got that deep gash she claimed to not know. She went on to say that "he probably did that to himself with his paw". Really? To think a veterinarian would say something so ridiculous. She was not even the slightest bit apologetic or the least bit concerned. Attached is a picture. Good Luck if you ever take your dog there!!!

But Englewood Cliffs, although payment is upfront, was willing to help talk everything through with me when I was worried about costs. They were upfront about what costs were even before I made the appointment. Right now, most vets are shut down due to COVID, so we had to wait in the parking lot while Dr. Attanasi took care of Cookie. She took a couple minutes to determine my rabbit had A dislocated hip. Not only did they talk me through the potential cost of a rabbit getting surgery, but they spoke to me about the process of surgery for a rabbit. She doesn't do the orthopedic surgery necessary for Cookie, but she was more than willing to refer us to a pet orthopedic surgeon who DID work on rabbits. Unfortunately, due to COVID and financial issues, I'm not able to afford the surgery. But Dr. Attanasi was understanding and sent us home with pain medications to help ease my bunnies pain. She didn't just look at Cookie's injured hip, but also at the overall health of Cookie. She spoke to me about her history of GI stasis and how it could be caused by her fur (Cookie is part angora/holland lop.) She recommended me to get a furminator and Cookie is now half the size now that all the dead fur is gone! Despite me following the standard recommended diet of a rabbit, Dr. Attanasi told me it seems like my rabbit had several nutrient deficiency due to the dullness of her fur. I changed my bunny to the Oxbow baby pellets she recommended, added more multivitamins, and less than a week later, have been noticing an increase in energy and her fur is shinier! Once this COVID lockdown is over, I will definitely take Cookie back to do a checkup on her hip and her overall health. I've been to 4 rabbit specialists in NJ and one in NYC, but in my opinion, Dr. Attanasi is the most affordable and thorough specialist I've seen.

    Used Dr Diggles in Dumont Animal Hospital for years. With him out on medical leave I wish him well…read more He was great. However, since his absence, the place has gone down hill and the staff ruder and more inflexible than ever. My 11 yr old black lab retriever was extremely sick and we weren't sure she'd make it through the night. Called Dumont in the morning, and they had no interest in trying to accommodate despite years as a customer, even as an emergency. Called VCA Closter Animal Hospital as a back up and they were INCREDIBLE. Polite, friendly, concerned staff. Didn't mind reaching out to Dumont for records. Saw us within 2 hours. Dr Michael Maida is an astonishingly good vet, knowledgeable caring and not pushy. Gave us our options and his recommendation to do less rather than more. Thankfully all turned out great and the bill was not terrible for an emergency visit. For some reason I had decided not to use them years ago and wish I'd thought it through. They're local, affordable, caring, funny, great and I'll never go anywhere else. We thank you for great service, great text follow up and beautiful client service. Our family dog is on the mend. They had us at 'Hello'

I thought that's why I was there today? They charged me $421.77 and told me to come back in 2 weeks again. At this point I feel I've been scammed by this place and of course I'm not going back. Already made another appointment elsewhere.

Brought her in with a quarter size mark by her neck, 1 of them no bigger than a quarter. He rushed to say it was ringworm. Despite my telling him my kids di not have ringworm, my other 2 dogs and 2 cats do not have ringworm and she is an indoor cat. But, he pushed ringworm & It wasnt... He didn't cone her, didn't clip her nails, provided NO PREVENTATIVEA CARE... sent me home with drops for ringworm. They did nothing! Fast forward had to take her to VEG er they are great because she had clawed up 1/2 her neck... they said it didn't look like ringworm. It looked like it was a wound or a scratch when it 1st started. Anywho, had another vet visit and she's gotten a bit better... but, still bad, ONLY because of HOW BAD it got due to Dr.Ventura nonchanlant, pushy misdiagnosis and lack of proper preventive care for my kitten. Dumont animal hospital has good vets. Just, per my experience with Dr.Ventura and how much it has $$$ cost me, how much its going to still cost me because of how bad his misdiagnosis was.. I don't advise anyone using DR.VENTURA. He was 100% negligent in my kittens care. I have even considered putting her down because of how bad it has gotten, but she's only a little over a year old so im trying. She's been highly traumatized by this experience and wouldn't have been had he just conned her, clipped her nails and gave sometime for a maybe the size quarter patch to heal...​ with a shot of antibiotics to make sure and treat possible infection.

We are very happy to know that the Dr. Diggle is feeling better. And we also are very grateful to the other doctors in the practice.

If you do not have pet insurance be prepared to financially struggle in order to give your pet the care they require. One annual check up visit and poof, 600$ gone just like that. Then they advised me I would need a follow up visit which would include series of tests that would run me up just over 900$. If you live paycheck to paycheck like me; this is devastating. I think to myself "you know what fine, of course im gonna go thru with the treatment, it's my best friend" So i schedule the premium follow up and brace myself for financial turmoil to follow. But then, the morning of the appointment, i woke up extremely sickened with a Covid-19 infection i must've picked up at work. I call this vet to reschedule my appointment as i lay in bed feeling like death. You know what the receptionist said to me?? You ready for this Yelp? "We're going to have to charge you a 150$ cancellation fee" For christs sake. Do yourself and your pet a favor and find a clinic that's driven by helping pets and helping people with financial struggles over MAXIMIZING profits.

    My fur baby, Zuri, has been seeing Dr. May for a little over a year and half now. I'm thoroughly…read morepleased with her elite care of my baby. Little history: Zuri is an IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia ) survivor/rockstar warrior. She started seeing Dr. May approx. 3 weeks after a week long stay at the hospital, where she had 6 blood transfusions. The hospital did a phenomenal job, but when Zuri was released, her red blood cells count was still gravely low. Her case was very aggressive. Zuri was on a few medications to help her, but I knew that Zuri would need someone highly skilled. So, I did some research about internal medicine vets in NJ and found Dr May. Best decision ever! Dr. May meticulously monitored Zuri's health over several long months, always answering/addressing my many questions/ concerns, finally weaning Zuri off of her IMHA meds entirely. By the time, Zuri was off of her meds with great values, I was ready to cease the monthly visits because Zuri was doing great, and I was 100pct comfortable with Dr. May's plan. She got Zuri that far! It was a beyond scary time for me, and Zuri had been through a lot. But, Dr. May and everyone from the assistants to the front desk at Animal Care of Oradell made the overwhelming experience better. Everyone always answered my MANY questions!! It's even the little things like being engaged by Sherry at the front desk, who is always very friendly, helpful, and responsive. It doesn't escape me that she would engage me to maybe make me smile or laugh...to just relax a bit, especially earlier on when I was a nervous wreck. Fast forward to this year, Zuri was doing so well that she really just needed to get an annual done. And, it was during this visit, Dr. May noticed that Zuri's kidney function was off. She had Zuri undergo a few studies, and it was determined that Zuri has kidney filtration (protein losing nephropathy) as well as high blood pressure issues, but it was caught very early. And, since being put on a couple medications, Zuri's levels are looking really good. Btw, during this time, Zuri never displayed any signs that she was ill. Again, this is a testament to Dr. May's diligence and care. I've written enough, but since I never got around to writing one last year, I figured a lengthy review is appropriate. :-) I wholeheartedly recommended Animal Care of Oradell.
