I cannot say enough great things about the staff and the quality of care I have received from Bergen Veterinary. Nearly every staff member - from the kind, compassionate receptionists; incredibly knowledgeable vet techs; and standout vets. You never feel they are trying to upsell unnecessary services and no one is pushy. While the facility is a little on the older and more crowded side, neither my puppy nor I have ever felt uncomfortable or inconvenienced. As a first time puppy owner, I could not have had a better experience. Also, SHOUT OUT to Dr. Suss, Dr. Mary and Marquise who are undisputable

Where do I begin? My cat started acting "funny" and so I took her to a different vet. Blood work showed HIGGGHHH kidney failure. They kept trying for a urine test but couldn't get it. They were a perfectly nice place but NO urgency. That's when I went to Yelp and found THIS PLACE. They were open for my call on a weekend and were able to squeeze her in that Monday. The staff was so attentive and concerned as I was a little terrified. They checked her out and had no problem getting the urine. Long story short, my cat probably has cancer from the moment I brought her there the

My cat got her eye surgery here. And they treated us like family. Great trusting place and the staff is spectacular. And they remember your pet and the history which makes it more comfortable and personal.

Not a big fan. Vet did not introduce herself to me or the pets. My cats were super anxious. Told the tech how to lift my cat repeatedly and they didn’t listen and my cat panicked latching onto a techs face. Didn’t complete the full physical. Barely cut cats nails and charged $18 for it. Ran a test for ear mites after me repeatedly saying that she… doesn’t have mites and this is a common issue for my cat. Was charged for the test I DID NOT ASK FOR. then was charged for a medicine for mites EVEN THOUGH MY CAT DOESN’T HAVE MITES. Oh and at the end of the visit I finally
