★★★★★ Dr. Murray and Dr. Klein take care of our 2 cats and 2 Bernese Mountain Dog puppies (10 months). 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. Mountainside came highly recommended by so many. So I decided to give them a shot. Wow what an amazing staff. Every single one of them were so warm and welcoming. Being a new pet owner I had lots of questions, the vet was very patient with me and answered all my questions. I left there feeling like part of the Mountainside family and look forward to a growing relationship as my Stella grows. Thanks for making the process easy and looking forward to our future together.Joel L.Joel L. ★★★★★ Such friendly staff!

Two decades later, I continue to bring my cats to Mountainside for routine visits and last minute visits; the vets and staff are so incredibly compassionate and delightful.My husband and I currently have two cats-Zoe and Pippin (a dry/neuro FIP survivor, thanks largely to Dr. Vander Veen). We have PTSD from Pippin’s FIP journey, so whenever he exhibits abnormal symptoms-even if it’s kitty cold symptoms-we’re on high alert. This past week, we were able to schedule a same-day appointment for Pippin. When my husband called me, I felt so relieved Pippin was seen and treated by Dr. Mannes (he’s one of my favorite vets at Mountainside-so kind and vivacious!).I can’t thank those-past and present-at this practice enough. You’re all incredible human beings and we are so fortunate to have you care for our babies.Lindsey F.Lindsey F. ★★★★★ day before thanksgiving and we had a pretty sick dog! called them, got us in quickly and fixed her up. they were kind, compassionate and gave us peace of mind.

The veterinary office itself is well kept and conveniently located.AlternativelyAlexAlternativelyAlex ★★★★★ i have been bringing my pets to mountainside for about 20 years. i am completely confident in the care that my dogs have received over the years, so much so that i drive 40 minutes, one way, just to get there. every aspect of their health has been thoroughly discussed with me during routine and not so routine visits. during not so routine visits with terminally ill pets and ones that require surgery, i’ve been given every option and have never once felt pressured toward the decision that is most costly. the doctors have given me sound guidance, suggestions and opinions that i trust and have given my dogs immense amounts of love, care and kindness. the staff always has the best interests of my dogs at the front of their minds. i’d never bring a pet to another vet clinic. thanks for being amazing.a M.a M. ★★★★★ Very caring staff. Great people.Charlotte C.Charlotte C. ★★★★★ We have been taking our dogs to Mountainside Veterinary Hospital for over 20 years! The professionalism and compassionate care is wonderful. You get what you pay for in life and your pet's well-being is certainly going to cost you some money. It's worth it though to entrust your animals care and on-going health needs to these highly qualified vets and their animal-loving, friendly vet technicians. We highly recommend this veterinary clinic. 🐶Speed R.Speed R. ★★★★★ Many nice and friendly people work here.Cody W.Cody W. ★★★★★ Everyone from the office staff to the doctors has been professional and compassionate. Our dog, Bailey, had lots of ailments, sometimes prompting us to call for a last minute appointment. They made every effort to get Bailey seen and let us know that they cared for him and his well-being. We always felt at ease knowing that they had his best interest at heart and truly cared for him the way we did.Unfortunately, our Bailey crossed over Rainbow Bridge this week, and Dr. Eidel helped us accept and realize when it was time to say goodbye. She was able to talk to us about a subject that is very hard to discuss, all the while, respecting our decisions and answering our questions.Thank you to the staff at Mountainside for loving our fur baby so that we could love him as long as possible! We don't know when we will get another fur baby, but when we do, we will return to Mountainside to begin our journey with a new friend!Ashley Y.Ashley Y. ★★★★★ It was our last visit for Jackson at Mountainside, as we move to South Florida. We will miss the entire staff and all of the doctors…Jackson saw most of them and loved going to visit.

Hospital since they first opened, forty some years ago. Obviously, I trust the Doctors' excellent care, expertise and compassion. I highly recommend this Animal Hospital!!!Denise F.Denise F. ★★★★★ I have had the pleasure of taking my furbabies to Mountainside for over two generations of our loving pets. We have never had to second guess treatments and both the doctors and staff have been extraordinarily professional. Taking on a vulnerable family member means being vigilant regarding their care. We could not work with a better office and are so grateful for the way in which they have assisted us from the joyous moment of their births through the heart wrenching sadness of having to say goodbye. This office is the main reason why we have felt ourselves able to say yes to adopting new furbabies. We are forever grateful for their partnership!Tana H.Tana H. ★★★★★ Friendly and efficient.

They are competent and they are caring, from the vets to the office staff. That doesn't happen by accident. This is an excellent group, one I have recommended to many of my friends. My dogs have been seen by Drs. Eidel, Mannes, Kohlmeier and Starlings, and they are everything I look for in a vet. (And they round on their inpatients, so really sick animals profit from everyone's knowledge). They also really understand animals, and how to deal with the most difficult behavior issues, and take the time to deal appropriately.Mary J.Mary J. ★★★★★ I wouldn’t trust my boys with just anyone.Mountainside staff has been great, caring and organized.
