Having pet histories on a paper card system has caused delay at times when trying to get in/out due to misfiled or not yet filed cards. I will say that once we connected with Dr. Reed & Dave the Vet Tech, our experiences improved dramatically in the exam rooms. Both gentlemen were true professionals and really took their time with us. I hold these 2 caring & empathetic professionals in extremely high regard. Dr. Reed came into the office this past Thanksgiving morning and spent 3 hours with us and our extremely ailing dog. I do wish the practice would modernized the health care files of their patients so that info would be more readily accessible.

Each vet has over 50 years experience and diagnostically cannot be more accurate. My many pets have been treated here since the late 70's.

UPDATE: We've been back here a few times for minor things; my 3 legged dog is prone to needing his…read moreanal glands expressed, stuff like that. But today Dr. Povol and Mammas saved my boy's life. It started last night when WWD (world's worst dog) found a hole into the crawl space under the deck and came out with a rib bone from God only knows where or when. After a protracted tug of war this 3 legged brat looked me right in the eye, yanked his head so I lost my grip and gave a cartoonish GULP and swallowed that bone. Efforts to make him vomit from hydrogen peroxide were a threat to my life and limbs so we trekked off to VEG urgent care in Millburn at 11 pm. They were super nice and got him to vomit up a whole can of food but the bone stayed stuck in his stomach. After much discussion I chose to bring him home for the night because if he did need surgery I knew it would be twice as expensive at an ER facility. I called Dr. Povol at 8 am and they got us right in; 2 hours later Able was in surgery. The whole staff has been exceptionally kind and thorough, keeping me posted throughout the day and calling to check in once I got Able home. The surgery was about $2800 total which I know from experience is more than fair. He's got a belly full of sutures and is sleeping it off but he will be just fine, soon to continue his reign of terror. From last year: I'm on an extended visit with my family in Bayonne and one of my dogs got an eye infection. I've lived in Los Angeles for 25 years where we have truly human-grade medical care for pets so I wasn't sure what to expect in Bayonne. Wow was I impressed. This is a wonderful hospital. We got a same-day appointment which was really nice of them because they were busy. Every single staff member was kind and courteous and caring and professional. Once we got into the exam room we had to wait about 20 minutes and the super-nice tech came in to apologize and explain they'd had an emergency. I certainly understood and didn't care, but not every place bothers to explain what's going on. Dr. Povol came in and I loved him. He was incredibly thorough, explained everything. I saw another review where he was described as no-nonsense and I'd basically agree but he's kind and was laughing at the ridiculous histrionics of my other dog who was crying because he wasn't getting all the attention (!). I will absolutely return, my other dog can get cold laser treatments on his back and needs a dental. On top of everything else, the bill was a fraction of what I would pay in LA or at other hospitals around here. They even have their own garage for parking! Worth every penny and I recommend this hospital with 5 glowing stars. I came here because of the great reviews; there were some negative ones on Yelp that were from 2-4 years ago and they DO NOT reflect the experience I had. You will always find someone who had a terrible experience and write a review. Most times when people are happy they just go about their business, but when people are upset they are quick to post a review. I TOTALLY recommend this hospital.

I'm so glad we found Dr.Mamas and this vet!! I can't express enough how wonderful they all are and…read morealways a pleasure visiting here! Finally found a place where the doctors truly care about all the animals and not just look at it as a quick visit to get money. I needed to get a second opinion bc the first place had everything negative to say about our Frenchie and surgery that he might have had to do but getting a second opinion from Dr. Mamas has truly made us feel at ease and no surgery was ever even needed! Dr.Mamas is a very compassionate and knowledgeable doctor and his honesty for our pets is very rare to find in situations like ours with our Frenchie. Both Doctors are absolutely amazing and can't recommend enough! Friendly and welcoming staff and especially the cutest dog that the staff has and always a pleasure greeting everyone! There is available parking right outside the clinic and very reasonable prices especially compared to other clinics. Furthermore, We needed a pet health certificate to travel overseas to Europe and it has always been a great and always on point experience! We are grateful we found Dr.Mamas and the entire staff and definitely Recommend!!

If there was an option for no stars I would be selecting 0 stars for Bayonne Animal Hospital. Since…read morethere is no option for less than 1 star I'm obligated to choose 1 star which is giving them more credit than deserved. I am highly disappointed, disheartened, and just underwhelmed by my experience here. Upon arriving the veterinary comes in and quickly grows impatient with me asking a simple question in regard to a stray cat I took off the street that I was planning on bringing in to get looked at. I was looking for a home base veterinarian for my animals. I simply asked if at the end of the visit he could take a quick look at a picture of the cats eye because I was concerned it may be going blind. Instead of saying sure we can take a look at the end of the visit and then maybe further schedule something so I can better assist ; he completely dismisses me and my concern for this helpless innocent cat who hasn't had a home or been cared for in god knows how long. This apathetic, cold ,and dismissive so called veterinary wouldn't even look me in the eyes or face me. He simply did not care. His name is Dr. Ken Heilpern. I will remove the Dr. from the remainder of this review because he does not deserve to be acknowledged with such high regard and respect. Ken Heilpern was cold, dismissive, heartless and threw a hissy fit because I asked a question and it didn't financially benefit him to answer this question. Little did he know that if he had showed remorse, concern, or just a little care that I would have brought all 3 of my animals here and paid what ever necessary. Nonetheless, Ken Heilpern was huffing and puffing, very short with his words saying "pssst well that's something else's uhhhh ummm sorry I can't, that's something else." The level of unethical and unprincipled service is unmatched here. This all happened after he gave my kitten a general check up and said the kitten looked great. So as we were going to follow through with the vaccination we decided that he was so money focused, unwelcoming, unhelpful, unpleasant, and impatient that we did not feel comfortable or safe enough to follow through with the vaccines for my kitten. I simply would rather have someone warm and caring; whom I trust and whom genuinely cares for animals and people. I would feel more comfortable with someone who cares to register vaccinations for my animals then a money hungry, cold, apathetic, indifferent, emotionless and unwelcoming imposter handle my innocent animals. Furthermore, when I told Ken Heilpern that we would hold off on the vaccines because we just didn't feel comfortable...he then hastily and aggressively grabbed his things and said "ok" In a very contemptuous cold manner and fled the room instantaneously. I have never in my life been so displeased and disappointed. I'm posting this review everywhere so that Ken Heilpern can hopefully understand it's not ok to treat animals and people this way. Doctors in his position should wake up eager and willing to help; with a heart full of compassion, patience and respect for little innocent living animals because after all we are just asking for the greater good and well being of a beautiful innocent animal. Perhaps you choose the wrong career Ken Heilpern. Consequently, I do not recommend coming here. It's disappointing and unfair for the others whom work here who may take more pride in their work. Other employees whom show up to help guide and protect. It's unfair to those individuals that Ken Heilpern gives this facility a bad rep and shows up to the work place with this kind of inhumane attitude and negative energy. I'm sure this isn't the first complaint he has had against him. So hopefully this serves as a wake up call and sign to who ever is in charge. Lastly, I would never recommend anyone here for the fact that he works here and is comfortable enough to operate in this way and treat such serious matters with such little care. Go anywhere but here.

VPC is a good clinic and very convenient. Over all prices are so reasonable considering what they…read morecould be. Keep in mind they are NOT urgent care or emergency. Stop going to general practice offices and expecting emergency service. It literally doesn't work that way. Furthermore, please don't listen to the nickel and dime reviews--the practice is doing their due diligence and gold standard of care, which unfortunately costs money. Diagnostics, treatments, and surgeries or dentals all require medical equipment and medications that they have to purchase and therefore you have to pay for. There's no pet insurance that's like human insurance, so the prices are much different. You have to be willing to pay for good care. As a client it's unrealistic and literally unlawful to prescribe a medication to a pet (yes, even "one they've been on forever") without seeing the pet ONCE A YEAR at least for re-examination. Your dog has chronic ear infections? Then yes, obviously you can't just keep refilling without an exam. Wouldn't you like to know if the issue is resolving, evolving, or worsening? Stop dragging veterinary clinics because you don't know how the industry works. So before you take some of these reviews which are only OPINION, do some research. Yelp allows 100% opinion driven reviews, and they don't fact check. You could be harming your own pet and someone else's business by listening to vitriol on the internet.

I scheduled an appointment for my dog's routine vaccinations and informed reception in advance that…read morehe has allergies and I would like an allergy injection, as has been done during previous visits. During the appointment, the new veterinarian conducted a brief examination-listening to his heart and checking his ears, where I had specifically noted his allergies tend to present. The entire exam lasted approximately seven minutes, largely due to my dog being restless. I am aware that this practice is generally on the higher end in terms of cost, and I anticipated a bill in the range of $200 based on prior visits. However, I was presented with a bill exceeding $400, which was unexpected and shocking. I was informed that prices had increased this year, though I did not receive any prior notification by email or see any posted notice in the office. I was also told that because there was "something wrong" with my dog, the exam fee was higher. This was confusing, as I had already disclosed his allergies when booking the appointment and this was not something 'found' during the exam. Due to the significant and unexpected increase in cost, I declined to proceed with his vaccinations at that time. I requested to pay only for the exam, though I expressed concern about the pricing given the limited scope and duration of the visit. I was told that the standard exam fee is $93, but that it now increased to $115 due to the allergies identified during the visit. I reiterated that this was not a new finding, as it was the stated whilst booking the appointment. Unfortunately, the receptionist was unable to provide clear answers to my questions regarding the pricing. She then concluded with an offer to provide my dog's medical records and I should "seek care elsewhere." Overall, I was surprised and disappointed by this experience. While I understand that costs can increase, a significant and uncommunicated price change (particularly without clear justification) was both unexpected and frustrating.

We absolutely love Bond Vet in Jersey City.

The entire experience is consistently great - the space is clean, modern, and really comfortable, which makes a stressful situation feel so much easier. Dr. Rodriguez is truly amazing. She is incredibly patient, kind, and thoughtful, and you can tell she genuinely cares about providing the best possible care. She took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand (not overly medical or confusing), which we really appreciated. They also fit us in last minute for what we thought was an urgent issue, and we felt so supported throughout the entire visit. Tati, the vet tech, is also so lovely. Both her and Dr. Rodriguez are amazing with our cat and made her feel as comfortable as possible. Bond Vet is by far the best - we're so grateful to have found them and will continue to go here for all future kitty needs. Highly, highly recommend.

Caring, compassionate doctors! I've been coming here since the late 90s. My dog and my cats have…read morealways been treated with the utmost care. When our elderly Scottie developed complications from a tick bite (anaplasmosis), they did everything possible to help and were very humane and compassionate during her last days. Our diabetic cat, Fuzz, lived on a strict regimen of humulin, and Dr. Mammas and Dr. Sirny never hesitated to have us come in for a quick blood check. Right now I have 5 cats ranging from 9 months to 14 years, and a couple of them have some odd conditions. The oldest has inflammatory bowel disease, and the next oldest has an autoimmune condition attacking her gums. They have worked with us to manage these conditions and both cats are doing well. We also have a terrier mix dog who loves to go to the dr and get some love. This is by far the best vet practice in Bayonne.

DONT BRING YOUR DOG TO DOGGY SPA ON 15TH ST Y…read more On May 8th, 2026, I brought my dog in for what was supposed to be a simple teddy bear haircut. I handed over a happy, healthy dog and expected to pick him up looking fluffy and refreshed. Instead, I was horrified when they brought him back completely shaved down without a single warning or phone call asking for permission. I barely recognized him. Later, they contacted my family claiming my dog had red irritation bumps, but that made absolutely no sense. My dog sleeps beside me every single night, and I check him constantly -- he had never shown any signs of bumps, irritation, or skin problems before stepping foot into this place. To make matters worse, they somehow lost his collar, something I then had to replace out of my own pocket. When I brought my dog home, his entire personality had changed. He seemed withdrawn, miserable, and deeply uncomfortable, nothing like the playful dog I dropped off earlier that day. His condition worried me so much that I rushed him to the vet, where I was given medicated cream for his irritated skin. Then, two days later, I discovered a black mark on his ear that suddenly began bleeding heavily. It genuinely looked as though he had been cut during the grooming process. Seeing my dog in pain and bleeding was heartbreaking and infuriating. When I confronted the owner about everything that had happened, she denied every single concern and refused to take any responsibility. The entire experience was upsetting, stressful, and traumatic for both me and my dog. If you truly care about your pet's safety and well-being, I strongly urge you to think twice before bringing them here. I will absolutely never trust this place with my dog again.
