She went above and beyond caring for my cat Cheddy whom we ultimately had to say goodbye to due to irreversible HCM. This emergency visit was my first impression of this office and I was very impressed. Texting to ask questions during the stressful moments and give updates to the Dr/staff is so easy and helpful too! I've brought my cat Jasper in as well who was newly diagnosed with Diabetes. Dr. Miller walked me through every step of glucose testing, insulin administration and recommended diabetic safe foods. Mary is such a sweetheart and always makes me feel comfortable; even my difficult cat loves her! Lisa and Brittany at the front desk are wonderful and always greet me with a big smile. Lisa is so sweet and funny; she remembers my pets every time I call the office. Dr Sylvia is great too and was very direct and informative about my cat's diabetes! You can't go wrong in this office. Well worth the costs to have my pets cared for with such kindness and compassion.

From the moment we walked in, the entire staff made both me and my pet feel welcome and cared for. Dr. Slade is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also has that rare gift of making animals (and their humans!) feel at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all my questions, and treated my pet with the kind of gentleness and attention you'd hope for. His team was equally fantastic--efficient, friendly, and clearly passionate about animals. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely caring veterinarian, look no further.

Caring Heart Animal Hospital Review - 3/3/26…read more I had been searching for a new vet for my Great Pyrenees. He's a big guy with various issues since we adopted him from a kill shelter about 7-years ago. I had been going to Belle Mead Animal Hospital, and they are very good, but I was looking for a more local vet that had the time to spend working on his issues. Some of those issues included a luxated patella, digestive sensitivity, paw infections and the like. I found Caring Heart through the Next Door app, and the reviews were very good, so I figured I would give it a shot. Since the very first appointment back in 2024, I found Dr. Chris & his staff to be an excellent choice. He was compassionate, he listened and provided a thoughtful & dedicated approach to my GP's care. His prices were fair (and less than my previous vet) and more important, his approach always focused on care and not "spending money for the sake of..." Well, recently, Dr. Chris sold the practice, and my concern was that I had to begin the search process all over again. Well, that wasn't the case at all. Dr. Silit, acquired the practice, and although he was highly recommended by Dr. Chris prior to his departure, you never know what to expect until that first visit. Well, I'm delighted to report that Dr. Silit is outstanding. He takes the time to understand the issues, listens very well and more important, he provides timely and effective care at every turn. I should also say that as a Surgeon, you would think he would promote "surgery" at every turn, even if there are less evasive options. I'm happy to report that nothing could be further from the truth. I've always gotten an appointment quickly, and his pricing and recommendations always make sense. Additionally, I found his staff, Brandon & Jessica, truly round out the experience when it comes to making you feel welcome. They are there with you in case of any emergency needs. My feeling is that no business would likely receive 5-stars across the board. Someone will always be disappointed or find reasons not to recommend. In this case, I assure you that your experience with Dr. Silit and his team, based on my ongoing relationship with them, will stand the test of time. Whether you need meds, general wellness care or emergency counsel, Dr. Silit and his team are there. Finally, you should know that I'm not one to rate businesses unless I'm deeply disappointed or highly impressed. Caring Heart in Skillman deserves a visit, if you're like me & you're highly selective about your pet's care and need for a responsive, friendly and knowledgeable staff that simply "gets it". This is one small town vet with big positive outcomes that's worth your time and business.

After 20 years, 10 cats and thousands of dollars, I can no longer trust the clerical staff of…read morePrinceton Animal Hospital to act in the best interests of me and my cat companions. For years, we received excellent service and great kindness from the married veterinarians who operated the clinic. From providing me with excellent references when I wanted to adopt a cat to offering sensitive services in helping to see each kitty cross the "Rainbow Bridge," this was a highly empathetic and ethical veterinary practice. The doctors Miele retired and sold the practice, and I did not have any problems until recently when I took my 14-year-old Himalayan, Dexter, for a checkup. He is very healthy but has some tummy issues. There was no discussion of costs prior to the exam and I did not think that was odd because I always assumed they would be fair. I was asked if I wanted to include a recommended blood test - I said yes, not realizing it was about $350. I had planned on spending about $500 and was shocked when the bill was $1000! I explained that I thought that was high but I would pay $500 now and the balance the following Monday. This arrangement was not acceptable - The office manager, a woman with few people skills or empathy, insisted I pay the entire amount and made veiled threats that included stating that leaving without paying the full amount was equivalent to walking out of a store without paying. They treated me like a potential criminal instead of a long-term client and refused to send the blood test out until I paid the full amount. I am an 83-year-old senior citizen with a serious lung condition. I am on O2 24/7. I have lived in the same condo for 35 years and have run a successful business since moving here. I have no record of any kind beyond traffic tickets. Did this witch and the equally unhelpful women manning the desk at Princeton Animal Hospital think that I was going to toss all that, grab my cat and flee into the night between Thursday and Monday, just to avoid paying $500? Luckily, I had Dexter in his carrier and in my hand because I feel certain they would have held him hostage. I admit that my Irish temper flared but I have a lot to cope with being ill with a terminal disease and being threatened with more financial hassles and stress. So, I just left. I called the next day - the Manager was off and I was told that the blood test would not be sent out until I paid the $500. They could not guarantee the specimen would still be viable and I might have to bring Dexter in again for a new test! As if! I just cancelled the blood test and asked them to invoice me the balance which they did. I am going into this kind of detail to show how far Princeton Animal Hospital has fallen and to tell you that they may be within their rights. This is becoming a common practice in New York, according to a friend of mine, cat care expert and groomer, Anitra Frazier. My advice would be to discuss the costs in advance before even bringing your dog or cat to any vet. And to certainly avoid Princeton Animal Hospital. So, now I need to find a new vet for Dexter. (I should have noted earlier that my quarrel is not with Princton Animal Hospital's veterinarians but with its obnoxious clerical staff.) It is really sad to see how far this one excellent practice has fallen.

Unfortunately, the experience started off on a very negative note because of the receptionist, a middle-aged blonde woman who gave me the name Sherrill. At 8:30 in the morning, I was met with a very smug attitude. I understand that different practices have different walk-in rules, but there is absolutely no reason to speak to people with that kind of attitude. You're dealing with people who are bringing in their pets, and for many of us, our pets are family. I would expect at least basic courtesy and professionalism from the front desk. I'm not asking for special treatment, just a little respect. Sherrill, I understand you may have had a bad morning, but you're very, VERY grown and should know how to speak to people professionally. Your attitude made what should have been a straightforward visit unnecessarily unpleasant. If you're unhappy with your job, find something else to do. Definitely won't be taking my other pups anywhere near this office. Devon Seidman please train your staff.
