The staff, the vet tech and the doctor treated my cat Sofia and I with compassion, empathy, kindness and hands down best experience I've had at a vet. They showed me how to administer both medications. 1 in an eye dropper and other inside the cats ear. This is my first Yelp review and they definitely deserve 5 stars. My experience couldn't have went any better thanks to the people working 9/17/26. Ask for Michael Schindewolf if you're not sure is the best advice I can give. Ps Sofia is doing much better!

When my fiancé had to be put down his dog during…read moreCovid, she refused him to hold him in her screened in porch even when I said I would stay out. I then adopted 2 rescues. She almost caused me to poison 1 when she told me to put a full can of pumpkin in each meal. Luckily a friend is a Vet but lives in VA. When I mentioned it's 1 tsp per 10lbs she struggled with why we were there is we had a vet already. Explained a few times she lives states away. Then she accused my fiancé brought a different woman when she first began with our mate brothers, but it was always me as I found them! Very unprofessional. Always need to ask for answers, whether it's an anal gland expression or a serious ear infection. We wanted everyone to be made aware that she is wrong giving advice and can be very sarcastic if you ask a question! Save yourself the nightmare as I did not want to return after her refusing fiancé to hold his dog while being put down. We did see her when we got our rescues and my fiancé witnessed her disrespect and rude responses, trying hard to shame ya if you ask a question! If your pet is considered a family member like ours are, look for a caring and trusting vet elsewhere as we have many we wish we went with first!

We had another emergency with him last week early in the morning and their response time is like none other. My apologies for not remembering the female Vets name but I will edit and come back ! She is patient , kind and super helpful and exactly the type of vet any fur parent would want. I wasn't able to be there myself and had a list of annoying questions and still they were answered. I really do find the staff , location and Drs here to be fantastic people and feel so lucky that we have a animal hospital so close !

Besides the call reporting the lab results and confirming the diagnosis, no further information was provided except to change to a new diet. After the shock wore off, we of course had questions and concerns so we emailed the office. The first was what was the choices of food since the Hill Science k/d food is so vile even smelling it is sickening and not a favorite of George or us. We found another lamb based variety and asked for the vet to weigh in. After hearing nothing, we called 3 more times and were assured the vet or assistant would get back to us. We also made an appointment to talk in person but meanwhile we needed the food and supplement question answered now. Nothing but crickets, excuses and apologies unfortunately George is still not eating right and sliding fast. I really don't care about the doctor that is out with hip surgery. You knew well in advance he was going...it's not like he fell off a ladder and called out sick. This is the point where truly good vets rise to the top and others sink. Please be aware that the posted hours of operation are not even close to correct. They close randomly due to staff issues and even don't open on days they are suppose to be open. That is the first sign of a business in distress. That wouldn't be an issue except no one monitors the messages or emails. This is particularly dangerous since the office is listed as an "emergency" clinic. The office staff is like a revolving door of personnel day to day so the person who promised an answer by the end of the day disappears into the abyss. This is heartbreaking as we recommended this office to the community and as it turns out they are just as mediocre or worse than every other vet in South Jersey...lousy office staff follow thru and chock full of excuses. Oh, we ordered the new food and supplements so George won't suffer and thinking about cancelling the office visit.

She was on her way to work, stopped, and kneeled down to greet my dog. I immediately sensed her compassion for animals. When she mentioned she was a Vet, I knew we had to see her. Based on that chance encounter, I later made an appointment requesting Dr. Baum. From the time we approached the counter until we left , the experience was head and shoulders above any other Vet experience. kudos to every person on the staff. Mila was born deaf so compassion, patience, and an understanding of the disability is necessary. I also learned Peanut Butter is very helpful Lol. 'Upon checking out, Dr. Baum sat on the floor with the dog while she summarized the visit. Who does that? I can't express my gratitude enough to the Dr. and the entire staff. Thank you. Thank you. PS: The following day we walked by Banfield and she was pulling to get in!

When a vet doesn't come in to talk to you face to face and Acts annoyed leave.Now I know why the vet said he never reads his reviews because they're usually bad.

The care was great, and always professional, it was family and personalization. Fast forward to today, Dr. Steve Wurst passed away and his son Dr. Andy has taken the reins. The building has gotten bigger, there are more excellent Vets on staff, and there are more techs. For all the changes and additions, the care, the expertise, the compassion, and the personalization has never changed, Dr. Andy Wurst and his dedicated staff have seen to that. And that my friends are why Barnegat Animal Clinic has constantly received 4-5 stars for customer service and reliability.

Dr. Michel is the vet I have been searching for. She perfectly blends holistic and conventional…read moremedicine to give the best care for your pets. I prefer a holistic approach, but it's hard when In my experience many holistic vets don't want to deal with the mainstream side of medicine (tests, procedures, medication, etc.) when just managing the holistic side is a full-time job. As a result, I usually have to have two vets and they don't always agree on a treatment approach, which can be a problem. But somehow, Dr. M manages to do both and make it look effortless. It's the ultimate one-stop shopping for pet care. She offers cutting edge technology that I was not able to find anywhere else so I gladly made the three-hour round trip from my home. And look forward to doing it again anytime I need to. I appreciate that she is so knowledgeable and generously shares that knowledge - talking to her is like chatting with a friend, a brilliant friend. As busy as she is, she never makes you feel rushed and gives you all the time you need. The whole staff is amazing - shout out Anthony, Laura and Danica! Everyone is kind, compassionate and friendly, and the office is so homey it makes you feel like you're going to visit friends who just happen to be amazingly talented. Thank you all so much for taking such good care of my Riley.

We were there before 4, I had trouble getting my dog and cat in the car which I explained to them when I was on my way. We get there and everything seemed fine until it wasn't. If you have a young dog it's extremely difficult even getting them to the vet let alone keeping them in a small cubicle sized room. We waited for over an hour, I spent an HOUR trying to keep my anxious dog calm. When I went out to ask what was going on the lady at the front desk was extremely rude telling me I was over an hour late for my appointment (not true). I tried showing her my appointment confirmation time but she didn't even want to see it. I have had pets my entire life, have been to many vets, and have never been treated with such nonchalant attitudes.

Her approach…read moreis one that is based less around throwing medicine and tests at symptoms, but what truly is at the source of a given issue, even if it means she'll make less money. She understands biologically appropriate diets and holistic approaches. I feel like she is the only vet around here that knows how much crap is being fed to our animals. Lastly, she does little things that make you appreciate not only her approach with your beloved pet, but her value as a business person. She will use generics where possible, as opposed to most vets who will cash in on selling brand names. She will, at times, sell you things for her cost or VERY close to it. Sometimes, she won't even charge for a visit, especially if it's minor or close to a previous one. I feel extremely blessed to have such a quality veterinarian in the area.
