This was our 3nd time utilizing the Emergency Services. My girl Yoga woke up on a Sunday morning and couldn't put any weight on her paw. I gave them a call and the room was ready when we got there. I have nothing but praise for this office and staff. The triage nurse was excellent with Yoga and myself. The Dr. Was very open with pricing for x-rays as well as medications, I believe the Docs. name was Molly. Thank you to everyone there. My girl went home with a jammed toe and meds. She will recover, but the best feeling is knowing that she is okay. The entire staff is attentive and friendly. Thanks again, Melanie and Yoga

I have used Absecon Vet for years, and recently had an experience worth sharing. We adopted our 6 year old bloodhound at the start of the summer. After getting her in for her first appointment, we learned she was heartworm positive, had a double ear infection, as well as tapeworm. Unfortunately, the medication used to clear the tapeworm made her belly upset. So much so that we thought it could be bloat and immediately brought her to Absecon Vet’s urgent care. The people on staff that day were incredible. They met me out front and brought our pup immediately to the back for evaluation. After a couple hours, we were given great news - it was not bloat and our pup would be just fine. I am beyond grateful for the staff at Absecon Vet. They helped make a scary situation easier to manage and provided the most compassionate care.

The doctors here are really on the ball. Unfortunately, yesterday, Northfield Emergency Vet misdiagnosed my dog, Jake. It doesn't seem as if they spent enough time examining him, because they were ready to have us wait 3-4 hours after determining that he was “stable”. less than an hour later, he was put to sleep by the angels who work for Absecon Veterinary Hospital. A few years ago, they also helped us diagnose, treat, and eventually put down our beloved pet rat, Susan.

Wow is all I can say! The entire experience from the front desk team, technician to the vet! Dr. Constantini was incredible with my dog, Hope. She has had chronic diarrhea and I thought she may have had worms — and may have been anemic due to her affect. Dr Constantini listened, asked questions, went through options and then when initial in house tests came back reviewed everything from top to bottom. She spent time and made sure we had the BEST CARE. It’s a few days later and I had called with questions and Jackie the vet tech was amazing as well — answered everything and really made me feel like my dog’s health mattered! I wasn’t just a number. The front desk and the nurse who brought me the meds was great as well - friendly and professional — I recommend without a doubt and am moving my vet care here! Thank you!

I was in search of a vet for my aging Maltese, and I am happy to say that I found Dr. Lambert of the Absecon Veterinary Hospital and his team a good choice. They coordinated a home visit and did an annual exam including a necessary vaccine. So far, we are very pleased with the professionally and kind manner of this team. I believe I have made a good choice!

Our miniature schnauzers, Scout and Zelda, have been patients of Dr. Greta Niedermeyer since they were born, and we couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with their care. Dr. Niedermeyer is everything you hope for in a veterinarian—compassionate, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every animal she treats. She always takes the time to explain everything clearly, answer our questions, and make sure Scout and Zelda are comfortable during every visit. It’s obvious that she truly loves what she does, and that gives us complete confidence that our dogs are receiving the very best care. (Absecon Vet Hospital) The entire team at Absecon Veterinary Hospital is friendly, welcoming, and professional, making every visit a positive experience. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care they’ve provided our pups throughout their lives. If you’re looking for a veterinary hospital that treats your pets like family, I can’t recommend Absecon Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Greta Niedermeyer highly enough. Scout and Zelda are lucky to have them, and so are we.
Overall I think the entire team, Doctors and Vet Techs, are caring, compassionate and knowledgable at Absecon Vet Hospital and ES. I wish they still offered boarding services! Dr Greta Niedermeyer is our regular primary care, but we recently needed Urgent Care when my pup had mobility issues. The team who handled his UC visit thoroughly examined him, crafted a treatment plan and covered it in detail with me. His walking has improved and he’s on the road to recovery. I appreciate the care AVH offers and the flexible hours. While I’d rather not visit so frequently, they’ve been a fabulous partner in caring for my two pups.

We trusted Absecon veterinary hospital with the dental cleaning and care of our 2 cairn terriers. The professional and compassionate staff was very thorough in their directions for pre care and everything went very well. We were informed by Dr. Mitchell herself when each dog began their procedure, with x-rays sent by text, and consulted on what needed to be done, and were contacted as soon as each dog was finished. They even asked if we wanted the dogs nails trimmed and anything else checked while the dogs were under anesthesia. When we picked them up we were treated again with kindness and a very thorough explanation of what we needed to do with the dogs the next few days and what exactly was done to both dogs. Dr. Mitchell, who had also done Accupuncture and Aqua puncture and even red light therapy on our dog was our veterinarian. She is kind and very knowledgeable in all aspects of vet care. Madison, Nicolette and Hannah helped with our dogs cleaning and care and we’re so kind and patient with our dogs. Krysten checked us in and out and was also attentive and kind. In an AI, private equity world - it is important to note that this privately owned business is still around doing great work. Thank you, Absecon Veterinary Hospital and Emergency Care, for taking such good care- always- of our dogs. Highly recommend.

Dr. Scotland, at Absecon Veterinary Hospital, is so wonderful to work with. She is an expert and intuitive. I can also rely on her vast knowledge and experience in caring for animals. I consider her to be a brilliant doctor. The staff is always courteous, efficient and kind. My bill was extremely fair considering it was our dog’s yearly visit with vaccinations and a urinary scan. Dr. Scotland is thorough and will answer any question I have in a clear way. I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog has gotten at Absecon Veterinary Hospital. Thank you Absecon Veterinary Hospital for always being there for us!

"Dear Doctors and Staff, Thank you so much for the excellent care you provided to Winnie. Having her away from home was incredibly stressful, but your medical expertise and kindness made all the difference. We cannot thank you enough for taking the time to inform us how Winnie was doing several times a day. Your constant updates and clear communication completely eased our anxiety and gave us immense peace of mind when we needed it most. We are so happy to share that Winnie continues to recover wonderfully at home. We are incredibly grateful for your dedication, and we appreciate everything your amazing team does!" The Rigg Family

All around outstanding service from a very well oiled and caring veterinary emergency office. Highly recommend if you are in need of urgent services. They were able to accommodate our need for care within 1 hour of my calling. We had traveled out of state with our dog who developed a mysterious cough, runny nose and all too frequent episodes of reverse sneezing. Upon arrival we were greeted by an incredible vet tech named Alyssa and seen by Dr. Lambert. Both the tech and doctor were incredibly with our boy. Efficiently, timely, friendly, caring, communicated our options clearly. Dr. Lambert contacted us within 3 days to check up on our fur baby and to report on the lab results. Again, wonderful service!

My daughter and I brought our six week old kitten into the hospital around 8:30 in the morning with labor breathing and lethargy. The hospital staff immediately took him back and placed them in oxygen. After performing X-rays we found that he had a large amount of fluid in his lungs. Due to his age in the severity of the fluid, Dr. Bradley recommended we take him to Mount Laurel animal hospital where he could be better treated in the event that he needed to be kept overnight. They were kind enough to give us three oxygen bottles to help us with our drive. Unfortunately, by the time we got up to Mount Laurel, Even with breaking every speed limit low on the expressway, our sweet baby boy Twilight had become severely unstable. I sadly had to say goodbye to our sweet baby boy. Thank you to Tracy, Alencia, Dr Bradley and all of the Absecon staff for trying to save our sweet boy. I appreciate everything you guys did more than you guys will ever understand.

Today was a rainy miserable day. My sweet Roxi pug had diarrhea really bad for the last couple days and I brought her in to make sure she was ok. The emergency fee is expensive because of the fact it's an emergency but I look at it as they are there when you need them instead of making your pet wait to see their regular vet. They explain every single detail including the possible costs and recommendations .They accommodate you and are so welcoming when you call. I had some serious personal issues going on and was quite upset. The. Front staff and the techs made me feel so much better that Roxi was going to get the best care there. The doctor seemed nice but clearly busy and she was quick and focused on your pet. I went there one other time same quality of care. Today was expensive and costs have gone up everywhere but I do have 4 other pets at home to care for. I will offer this to help others offset the cost for vet care for their pets. Instead of buying too many treats, toys, bday gifts and holiday for your pet set aside at least 10 dollars for each pet and save it and usually I have enough saved to cover an unexpected emergency. Hopefully my Roxi will get better soon. Thank You Linda Rivera

Dr. Mitchelle was such a refreshing change for myself and my 11-year-old dog, Cosette. After being with my previous vet for many years, I realized how important it is to feel heard and respected when making decisions for your pet. Dr. Mitchelle never once pressured me, pushed unnecessary treatments, or made me feel judged for the choices I make for Cosette. You can tell she truly cares about both the animals and their owners. She took the time to listen, answered my questions honestly, and made the entire visit comfortable and stress-free. That compassion and respect are exactly why I decided to leave my longtime vet and make the switch. I’m so grateful to have found a vet office where both myself and Cosette feel comfortable and cared for.

Absecon Veterinary Hospital & Emergency were fantastic when my dog needed care. They were straightforward with the treatment plan and recommendations. I was very hesitant to have to leave my dog overnight but she was in great hands. I highly recommend them to anyone who may need emergent or even primary care for their pets.

This was the best experience I’ve had at a vet.Went in with my cat thru Emergency services and the service was so fast. Nurse Nicolette looked immediately at my cat and then proceeded with handling my cat to see how he was with her assistant in training. nurse explained the step by step process on how to hold my cat to her assistant and ive never seen my cat so calm, she did beautifully. Then doctor constantini came in and explained what she would do. She was explaining what an eye stain does to me and her assistant and it was a learning experience for both of us. It made me understand what was going on. Told me, my cat would need some medications to go home with and even asked what kind of medication would be easier to apply and she gave me options. I asked about bravecto and another nurse named lura offered to apply it if i wanted and she did,Everyone was so generous and kind.This is truly a wonderful hospital with great service , amazing staff and reasonable prices. I will definitely be coming back!

Currently treating and caring for our Cinnamon Banana Ball Python. Christopher Lambert, VMD has been great, walking our family through the treatment plan, giving us options not just dictating a treatment. Dr. Lambert takes the time to provide advice, guidance, and encouragement for handling a delicate situation. The staff also have much patience and comfort to ease the stress of dealing with a loved one who cannot verbally communicate their pain. Thank you to the entire staff, highly recommend anyone seeking care for a family pet.
My dog got a laceration on her arm. Absecon vet was able to get her seen in a timely manner and provide different options in terms of caring for the dog. The staff was friendly and helpful to the fullest extent.

I can not thank Heather and the staff at Absecon Vet enough for the most compassionite care, as we had to put out little Utley down last night. The cries and hugs were so genuine and thoughful that I am getting choked up again as I type this. After over 20 years with my previous Vet, I will now be a client of Absecon Vet for my remaining animals. Words can't explain enough how incredible the service and care was. Thank you again Heather, the amazing Vet Kelly Bradley and all the other ladies at the front desk. Thanks to all of you, I actually slept last night knowing that my little Man was in a better place.

Absecon Vet is the best around! I have been taking my dogs there for about 20 years. They are courteous and knowledgeable and fair. My youngest pup was recently diagnosed with a rare condition and the vets at Absecon figured it out quickly and got her on the right medication. Now she is feeling a lot better! They were very fair in terms of fees and gave awesome service. I would recommend Absecon Vets to anyone with a pet!

DR. Eli PARKER is not only professional, but personable; an aspect much needed by pet parents visiting the Vet Office. His compassion for our beloved pets is apparent by his demeanor of love and attention to our pets. He recently took care of our beloved Noelle, a ten year young Shih Tzu, before Lymphoma took her prematurely from us. During her final visits, she still wagged her tail when she saw DR. PARKER. That says it all!! We will forever be grateful for his loving care of our Noelle.

My pets have been patients since 1980 at the first Shore Rd. location. Back then, we relied on Dr. Grossman's expertise for everything from preventative health to emergency surgery. The high level of care continues with a dedicated team of professionals, from the office staff to the vet and pharmacy techs to the doctors. Dr. Lambert provided empathetic treatment for my last dog who was terminally ill, followed by Dr. Spring who continued my dog's journey to the next world with kindness and sensitivity. I recently adopted a young lab and saw Dr. Lingley who is familiar with the breed. Dr. Lingley offered excellent advice regarding nutrition and behavior modification. Oh, and Drs. Vitorelli and Niedermeyer are indeed the cat whisperers of the vet world! Sending my thanks and appreciation to the entire staff.

We have been to this ER twice with our dog. First time, he was a puppy and was having a cluster of focal seizures for the first time. We had no idea at the time what was going on with him. We checked in the ER very late and the staff was absolutely phenomenal. We were so stressed and they were so helpful, kind, and patient. The meds to break the seizure didn't work immediately and we had to decide to have him stay overnight and be drugged to sleep or try at home. He was only 6 months and our first dog. Overnight would have been financially hard for us. The vet was so kind and let us stay late while she was closing up to see if the meds would kick in with some extra time. The second time we were there for a much less stressful situation. Our dog ate a cat toy and needed to be induced to vomit. Despite the ER being busy, the staff was still incredibly kind and attentive to our relatively minor issue. We have been very thankful to have an ER that is open late on the weekends. I know it must be rough for the staff to work nights on the weekend. We are so grateful they do. Thank you guys!

Unfortunately after 13 beautiful years with our pup, we had to make the difficult decision to put him down. From start to finish, everyone involved in the process was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better, more seamless process. The room is calming and peaceful and you have the opportunity to spend the last moments with your pet exactly the way it should be. What made it all the more special though, their cabinet full of all the treats he could never have, turns out he loves Hershey kisses! There will never be a day now that I don't think of him with a smile on my face every time I see one. The girls were absolute angels and treated Tonka like the good boy that he always was. They handled him with grace and with love and compassion like he was their own. What more could you ask for in their final moments? It was the most peaceful transition I have ever seen and I will forever be thankful for the ease of it all.

We normally use ventnor vet and have done so since we got our first dog, because he had been a patient there already. Sadly, Odin developed a terminal condition at 14 years and things went downhill quickly over a weekend when our vet was closed. Absecon veterinary hospital did a wonderful and compassionate job with Odin and made a terrible situation the best that it could be. I'm very grateful for them being there when we needed help. Their staff was wonderful, patient and gentle with my poor dog and grieving family. I hope not to need them again anytime soon but recommend them wholeheartedly.

I had an emergency late last night with a urinary inflammation in my cat and I received excellent service from the whole team at Absecon Vet Hospital! They were all so kind, compassionate and helped my very anxious kitty to safely and comfortably have his diagnostic exam. They even offered me bandages for a cat bite that I had gotten... I will definitely return in the future and highly recommend this great group! 5 Stars!

My son's gecko had an alarming eye infection and had stopped eating. We aren't from Absecon, but our local vets don't take exotics. Dr. Lambert quickly diagnosed and treated the problem, giving recommendations for care and advising us about how to administer medicine at home. Feisty Fitz is all fit again and back to his old self. I 100% recommend Absecon, especially if you have exotics that local vets can't treat. Worth the car ride and very affordable for the service and medicine needed.

The staff at Absecon Veterinary Hospital are amazing. They are so kind, caring, knowledgeable, and supportive. I've had one of my cats there several times in the last few months and they've gotten to know him (and me!) and make us feel welcome and cared for from the minute we walk through the door. The doctors explain everything very clearly and provide a variety of treatment options that they recommend. Hopefully our cat is on the mend soon, but if I had to choose an emergency vet, I would take my fur babies there any time.

We took our oldest cat in a couple months ago. He was 19 and it was time for him to be with God. The staff here has THEEEE BEST bed side manor that we have ever experienced. They were sweet, kind and GENUINELY felt our pain. There was no sense of being rushed while we said our goodbyes. The team here are true animal lovers. From the Doctors to the Nurses. This is why we took our other son in yesterday. Friday, 15 has a respiratory infection. They brought us in IMMEDIATELY so the nurse could do her thing. Then Dr. Hope worked on our baby and she was so nice. So sweet. Explained everthing to us. You can just tell that every Doctor and Nurse feel for their patients and their care givers. I don't know how they do it every day. They are our heroes. We are life long customers now. We just love AVH and staff. Thank you so much for loving our furbabies too. It's very calming knowing they're in such wonderful loving hands. It truly is. Dana and I just want to thank you for taking such great care of Friday. He's a very sweet but skittish kind of cat. We know when he is stressed. His dander starts to form near his tail and on his back. There was none. Which means you and your co workers handled him with love and sweetness. THAT is AWESOME. We love you for loving him, lol. Thanks again and excellent job. --Dana & Jason. 8/11/25 Add on.... We love AVH. The staff is AMAZING!!! They really care about our fur babies. They take the time to explain everything. Just can't say enough about them. They are family. Thank you. Im sorry. Im horrible with names but we love you and thank you. Lol We appreciate you putting up with having to explain to us the situation with Friday and our many questions. We appreciate how concise AVH is. How thoughtful they are. Just all around good hearted people.

Extremely friendly service and very professional. We are so happy we have Absecon Vet close by for our two rabbits. Dr. Lambert is excellent. Gentle with our rabbits and efficient while handling them. Therese O and Alyssa are both very knowledgeable of rabbit behavior and care. They told us a lot of important information and answered all of our questions about bringing in a new rabbit to our home. They also showed us how to pick up our rabbits and give them their medications. Thank you everyone! How gentle the staff is with our rabbits! They can be so anxious but we can fully trust the AVH team.

The Vet and all the techs are very kind and gentle with Lady Tuxedo. It's obvious that they really care about the animals. Dr. Lingley is great with Lady Tuxedo. I've had the same tech for all of my appointments with Lady Tuxedo and she is so gentle with her. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name . I particularly like how my cat is treated with kindness and caring staff members.

We had to rush our dog to a hospital and this place was the only one that would take her in. The surgery went get and we got our baby back the very next day.

Dr. Kent was great. He went to great lengths to explain what was going on with our dog. He assured us that she would be fine. If he were a regular vet at your practice, we would immediately change practices. Thank you!

Worse vet care ever…twice I was given incorrect diagnoses on emergency visit… was given steroids for eye infection and all my girl needed was a saline soluble… the kicker is when I brought my dog I for a cough the doctor told me that my dog had a severe heart congestion failure, and would probably have to be put down soon a severe heart murmur when I took her to her regular veterinarian. Yes, she has a heart murmur. It’s very small. It’s been there since the last seven years has not grown, and the only thing she has wrong with her was her track off. I have the doctor telling me of seeking veterinarian that my dog was like ready to be put down. She had me in tears. She’s handing me tissues, and there wasn’t even close to being in fact.

I had never been here before, but my 18 month old puppy Bowie fell ill, and her regular vet deemed her healthy. She was not. I went in as an emergency within 20 mins of closing, and every staff member helped us quickly diagnose her and set her up with emergency surgery the next day. All the staff was amazing, but Dr. Costantini was our life saver. I really just wanted to thank all of you for your help in Bowie’s time of need. It’s only been one day since surgery but she is already looking like her old self. I also wanted to thank Stacy the anesthesiologist who kept me posted with texts and pictures as Bowie went through surgery. After 10 days of Bowie falling ill, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I really thank you from the bottom of my heart, and will be seeing you again soon. ❤️

I was very impressed. I had called ahead to say I was coming. They greeted me as I came in the door and were up to date on my dogs case. We were taken right back and they started working on Jake. We were able to leave in several hours, with Jake feeling much better. The tech. and vet.

The staff is compassionate and truly caring! Vet Rachael and Molly are the best. No other vet office compares to absecon! Thank you staff from me and my fur family<3
Everyone at the Absecon Veterinary Hospital Emergency Department, from the registration staff, techs, and doctors, are the most compassionate and dedicated people. We unfortunately had to put our 11 year old dog to sleep after a sudden progression of her cancer and the staff here made an impossibly difficult and painful process much more manageable and comforting for us. Our Roxy was treated with so much care and respect in her final moments with us. Sincere thanks to the staff at this facility, thank you for caring for such an important member of our family on her final day with us. 🐾❤️

So happy with the care my cats have received at Absecon Veterinary Hospital. Thank you to all of the staff for taking such good care of my babies! My cat's emergency appointment went great and now she is feeling much better. I have had so many negative vet experiences in the past and it is such a relief to finally have somewhere I can trust going. From the receptionist to the vet techs to the doctor. 10/10

Love all the vets - especially Dr. Glenn and Dr. Mitchell. The techs are very knowledgeable and friendly. My dog is so well taken care of. Today's visit was with Dr. Mitchell and 2 awesome assistants - who assisted with acupuncture and laser for my old guy! Thank you so much.

Everyone was great. It was a bizarre situation and I realize it was also time sensitive. You all took care of my adderall puppy wonderfully and couldn't ask for a better outcome Dr Constantino, Gianna and the techs who took care of him overnight and went over my discharge with me . I appreciate Your understanding of the situation and not judging.

Today's experience went well, despite it being an emergency. We don't have a lot of services in our area and to be able to get an x ray, have it read, and be on our way in about an hour was amazing. Everyone was kind, explained things with ease, and very comforting. They also got our skittish Shepard on an X-ray table! Every single person who helped us was amazing. Quick results and painless for the owners and dog. Recommend absecon vet for your emergencies needs, quick and very professional.

Very organized, friendly and efficient! Dr. Glenn and staff were very kind and helpful. They thoroughly examined my dog, easily diagnosed her symptoms, and provided effective treatment. Thank you.
I want to thank the Dr and the staff at Absecon Hospital for taking excellent care of my Lola yesterday. They are so compassionate and caring in such a difficult time.
Was on a day trip to long point with my 4 year old pup who suddenly started throwing up and falling over. He became lethargic and unable to walk. Got him to Absecon vet hospital and was pleased the way the way they took care of him. Diagnosed an d treated him with fluids and continued to give me updates. He’s being discharged same day. He’ll be fine: the staff was amazingly kind, it was clean and would recommend to anyone in a situation close by.
I had an absolutely amazing experience at the Absecon Veterinary Hospital! From start to finish, the care and kindness shown by every staff member was beyond anything I could have hoped for. Everyone here is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly compassionate and welcoming. I want to give a very special thank you to Linda from the billing department — she was so sweet, so compassionate, and just an absolute joy to work with. Her warmth made what can often be a stressful part of the process feel so easy and human. Thank you also to Lindsay, who was exceptionally patient, friendly, and helpful with scheduling Tcheebo’s surgery. She answered all of my (many!) questions with so much care and clarity — I felt fully supported every step of the way. A huge shoutout to Dr. Mitchell, who did a wonderful job with my pup’s surgery. She took the time to talk with me before and after the procedure, making sure all of my concerns were addressed and that I felt comfortable and informed. Her genuine care and expertise meant so much. Every person I encountered here made a difference. This is a team of truly good people who care deeply about their patients and their families. Tcheebo is my furbaby, and knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands gave me such peace of mind. I also want to mention something that truly touched my heart last year, when I had to postpone Tcheebo’s procedure due to my own surgery, the staff mailed me a get well card wishing me a speedy recovery. That small gesture brought tears to my eyes — it meant the world to me. Absecon Veterinary Hospital: you have the BEST staff. Thank you for everything you do.

Always excellent care. Everyone is kind and even the emergency hours things move fairly quick. Only disadvantage I would say with such a big practice is there’s no familiarity feel like with a smaller office. otherwise great staff and great care 6/2025 As always the emergency hours are a great factor and they are fast with triaging. I appreciated how quickly they tended to our animal and the kindness shown. The staff today were extremely helpful and sincere. I remain with the practice so that’s everything anyone needs to know.. and with the new mobile service we’ll never bring our pets elsewhere
Everyone was very kind and compassionate. Absecon Veterinary Hospital really loves pets and have a large staff which allows them to offer all types of pet care and a wealth of knowledge!

We were referred by another Veterinarian Dr to Absecon Veterinary hospital so glad we went ,our pet was very sick and they took the best care of her the minute we walked through the door.The Doctors and staff couldn’t have been more responsive to her needs the care and compassion was abundant.Would highly recommend Absecon Veterinary Hospital for the care of your pets.

Absecon vet has been my animal doctor for over 30 years. I highly recommend them to others. Dr. Vitorelli is the best! She is knowledgeable, skilled, patient, and kind. Her expertise in veterinary medicine makes her my first choice in my pets' care. I appreciate how Dr. Vitorelli kept me updated on my dogs progress. She is always in helpful at explaining everything.

Very happy with the care Maverick received and all my previous pets that had ER situations. This visit was not as serious just a nasty infection on the hernia site so we waited a couple hours as more emergent animals went ahead of us. But completely understandable. We've been a client for over 10 years.
