There are two office locations- a small animal office in Mount Holly, NJ and a large animal facility a mile up the road in Eastampton, NJ. A third location is opening in Tuckerton, NJ in the Fall of 2019. We see a highly varied multi-species caseload with about 60% small animal and 40% large animal/equine. The vast majority of our large animal caseload is pet/backyard farm livestock vs. production animals. Students are invited to shadow with large and small animal appointments, round on cases with the veterinarians, may be asked to assist in surgery, and have some opportunities to work with our contract shelter. We try to cater a students experience to their individual interest.
Currently we have 5 full-time veterinarians- two doctors see primarily small animal cases, two doctors work with both small and large animals, and one doctor is strictly large animal/equine. We also have a consulting board-certified small animal surgeon who does primarily orthopedics and a consulting board-certified small animal internal medicine specialist available when needed. There is also have a consulting board-certified animal ophthalmologist who sees regular large animal appointments here. We also see both small and large animal appointments on a ambulatory/house call basis throughout Burlington and Ocean Counties and have three ambulatory trucks for this. We pride ourselves in practicing up-to-date medicine using the latest in available technology. Our office is is paperless (AVImark), equipped with in-house lab equipment (IDEXX), isoflurane/sevoflurane anesthesia, comprehensive surgical monitoring equipment (ECG/temp/SpO2/EtCO2/NIBP), Bair Hugger, a CO2 laser, Bovie electrocautery, a vessel sealing device, two digital x-ray systems, two ultrasounds, digital dental x-ray, endoscopy, and more.
Students are responsible for being present during our weekly business hours (9am-7pm Mon-Fri). Saturdays (9-2pm) are optional for students. Ocassionally students will be dismissed early or told to come in late if we are slow. Students are not required to help on any after hours large animal emergencies but rarely will be invited to help in those. If students are with us for an extended period of time (>2 weeks) they are offered a day off during the week.
