The Berner sisters are a handful and every single person who answers the phones is kind and compassionate and so very helpful. When one pup recently ingested a smorgasbord of household items (plastic toys, stuffing from toys, wares from counter-surfing expeditions, a power cord, etc.) we found ourselves at a pet emergency room. They thankfully stabilized her but we then had her transferred back to Mountain Side to see Dr. Klein. Dr. Klein was wonderful in explaining our options clearly and understanding our situation. Both girls ended up in surgery the same day ( one for a standard spay and the other got more complicated procedures.) they took such good care of both of our girls and walked us through recovery protocols at home. I felt I could reach them with any questions and get speedy answers. I’m so grateful that they got us all though this past week and can’t wait to repay them in a few weeks with healthy Berner puppy kisses!Christina W.Christina W. ★★★★★ If anyone needs a reliable veterinarian please go to Mountainside Veterinary.They are all amazing.I have been going there since 1984.And I will continue to go there because they are amazingSharon G.Sharon G. ★★★★★ I just got a brand new boxer puppy and needed a vet.
