This clinic provides accessible, less expensive animal care. I appreciate that, given the number of…read morevery expensive clinics in the area. The staff are pleasant, the atmosphere casual. They care about the animals. If you choose to use this clinic, however, be sure that your pet gets the care and screening they require by bringing a checklist of what is typically done during their annual physical and any visit related to a particular illness. You can find or create the checklists based on information from Veterinary School websites. Discuss the checklist with your vet. You may not understand all of the veterinary jargon on the websites, but you can always ask the vet to explain it to you. Use the lists to make sure that the vets do all the main, usual diagnostic and screening tests listed for your pet's annual physical and/or issue. Early diagnosis leads to better health outcomes...and a lower likelihood of death. Caught early, specialist care is less likely to be required - many illnesses can be handled at the clinic if treatment is not delayed. Ask for a copy of test results and review all lab work. Ask what the abnormal findings mean. The vets may need to be reminded to follow up on abnormal results. Sometimes results don't make it into your pet's folder, which can prevent detection of issues. If the vet you are meeting with says that there is no need for blood tests - that they already know what the problem is - don't believe them. Ask to speak with another vet. If a vet brings up going to Garden State Veterinary Hospital, then tells you that your pet will be given all sorts of unnecessary tests there and it will be really expensive, and probably not necessary, discouraging you from taking that step, ask to speak with another vet for the straight story. The bottom line is that this clinic has its heart in the right place, but it is helpful to do your "due diligence" to make sure your pet gets the right, complete care. Trust but verify...

Dr. Bonanno is an outstanding vet! The other vets and staff are beyond first rate. All who work…read morethere really care about the pets AND the "pet parents!"

I recently adopted a dog from Philly and it came with a free first exam at a different vet and I had the initial visit. They were great, very nice and knowledgeable and I would definitely take my animals there if Belmar Wall Animal Hospital were to (God forbid) close, but you cannot beat BWAH for not only excellent care, but also for reasonable prices. A hard combo to find these days.

The Absolute Best of The Best…read more Dr. Carmen Lorenzo is a truly wonderful person and a highly skilled, caring vet. He was my cats' vet for years. The good doctor was so caring that I wouldn't consider consulting with anyone else when I adopted two Bangal cats a year ago. Recently I visited twice. Once for shots and a wellness visit and again when one of my kitties had litter issues. On both occasions, Dr. Lorenzo and his staff were kind, helpful and very well informed, offering advice and strategies for managing and troubleshooting our "challenges." In a world dominated by big=box stores and anonymous Amazon drop and dash deliveries, pet owners are so lucky to run across an attentive local doctor, like Dr. Lorenzo who cares about my pets at least as much as I do. A special thanks to the kind, smart dark-haired lady who treated my kitties like royalty, flattering them the moment she saw them -- and the genius man at the front desk who knows more about responsible pet ownership than anyone I have every met. Together with Dr. Lorenzo, they created a warm, welcoming environment that gives me the confidence to recommend them to anyone who wants the absolute best of the best pet care.

Lately I've been jumping through hoops trying to get a refill for my dog. I went in person and was…read moretold that the Vet reviews all refill requests by the end of the day. I was told I would get notified by the end of the day, but never was. I called and left a message around 5pm and called and left a message again the next morning. Recently I come to find out this location doesn't have a permanent Vet. For nearly 2 yrs this location has been using vets who just sign up for the day. Super frustrating. As humans we have set Drs who know us and our medical conditions. I believe our fur babies deserve the best health care as well, they should have permanent vets not just new vets for the day. As the owner of a very sick dog, due to lack of permanent vets and having to jump thru hoops it leaves me no choice but to find a better pet hospital. This actually saddens me because for thirteen yrs we've never had a prob til recently.

We had an experience years ago that still haunts us. I won't go into details but it was…read moreheartbreaking and I would never recommend them. I was a vet tech for 7 years so I do have some medical knowledge. An explanation was never provided to us because the doctor eventually stopped coming to the phone when I would call.

I find her to be knowledgeable and professional, but also very kind and compassionate. She treats Fionn as if he were her only patient.

Dr. Cohen is heartless. My 11 year old cat was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2022. We…read morebrought her to see Dr. Cohen, but once we got to the office, Dr. Cohen wasn't seeing people in person and only over the phone. (Covid was not an emergency at that time) She straight up lied and stated if we did an invasive operation on my already declining cat that she could keep my cat alive for another year and a half. (wanted $4500 dollars) we opted for chemotherapy that ultimately did more harm than good. ($2000 later) Dr. Cohen showed no compassion and never met any of her patients in person at the time. also, my cat came home with a limp in her foot meaning someone rough housed her while she was in Dr. Cohen's care. Would not recommend. I wish Dr. Cohen would have just told us the state of our cats cancer the first time we went to her. This Dr. only wants your money.
