I own a dog care facility nearby and of course had a dog injured late on a Saturday afternoon. And of course their veterinary clinic was closed. It was a minor laceration that we thought may require a stitch or two so to be careful we gave St. Francis a... read more call to alert them that we were coming over. St. Francis is 24/7 hospital. They were waiting on arrival. As thought it was minor required 2 stitches and a belly rub. The vet we saw was very straightforward, saw it was minor and fixed her up right away. No needless tests or diagnostics.  Usually when I see a bill it's painful but not this time. Very reasonable considering the time and situation. Thanks to the staff. Hope NOT to need them in the future but I'm certain if he have a need we will. Two paws up!!

  My Jake was well taken care of by Dr. Shammi for an emergency appointment! Super nice, knowledgeable and great with a difficult dog with an eye infection. Thanks Melissa and Dr. Shammi!

  We've been coming here for years. We needed a vet who could tell us what was wrong with our pet, so we could decide treatment. Other vets we're guessing and sending us home with pills, while we watched our pet get worse. Saint Francis got to the bottom of the... read more illness, treated our pet, and we were able to take him home to heal. We cannot thank the doctors and the staff enough, for their commitment to the animals that come through their doors. We love knowing, they are there for our pets, and us, whenever we need them. Our pets are our family, and we trust Saint Francis with all our furry family.

  Dr. Berkowitz was Dynamite today. He treated our retired K-9 Judge (WDPD) like he was his own. We were treated like family. The entire staff and the Owners were awesome. Thank you so much.

  Great hospital. Friendly owners and staff. Very compassionate people here.

  They have a great staff and have been great with both of my dogs.the best place to get their nails cut.

  Today I came into the building panicking as my kitten was going through what I know now was most likely a seizure. My little family was afraid and knew that we may be losing the smallest and most precious animal we could of ever had.
Without hesitation the staff took... read more my baby into the back and started what they had to do. The receptionist we handled was the most compassionate and loving person. She comforted us and listened to my babbling as each step happened. When we were told that one of the only options we had was to put Sulley to sleep due to the damage, the vet as well as every other person we came into contact with was so understanding and sympathetic. If it wasn't for the way they acted, our family would be hurting more than we are.
I want to thank every single person that participated in our experience today. From the techs behind the scenes that I only saw briefly as they asked permission to treat, to the receptionist staff that made it a little easier to accept our baby's loss. I will not hesitate to ever return with my animals. And I highly recommend this team of professionals.

  I will not go anywhere else! Every veterinarian and tech here are professional and do a fantastic job!

  I had to take my 13 year old Dachshund here for a potential heart problem (vet recommended) and I could not have been happier with their treatment of both me and my baby. I was impressed by the facility and the very short wait time for an appointment and... read more once I arrived for the appointment. Dr. Meltzer-Driben was absolutely fantastic. She made me and my dog feel at ease, explained everything she was doing and why and included me in the ultrasound so I could understand. Turns out my dog was fine and I was very happy. The nurse who worked with the doctor was excellent too. I felt like they adored my dog the same way I do and as if I was among friends. I would absolutely go back for any problems and have already recommended them to a few people. Thanks so much!

  The doctors and staff took great care of my bulldog Arthur this past weekend after he ingested a toy and got really sick. Just wanted to say thanks!

  The hours are very convenient. Very friendly staff an so great with our dog. Great group of people. Thank you for taking such great care with Duncan!!!

  The staff and vet were very kind to us and our feral kitty. And were very sympathetic and caring

  I can't say enough about everyone at St Francis!! Oct 26 2014 Iv admitted my not quite 2 yr old Boxer Addie into St Francis. I knew the care was the best from my first minutes. But I also knew they gave her love while in critical... read more care that was just as important to me. Although my Addie lost her battle on Oct 30, 2014. I know they did everything humanly possible to save her. They made the difference!!! Thank you from our hearts and paws!! Maria and Hemi

  Knowing the Magazu family for nearly a lifetime I just wanna say my experience at the hospital has been amazing. I would have every pet I own here with them. Great customer service and great staff all the way around. 100% satisfied. Thank you to Dr. Magazu for making my... read more pets feel at home.

  I've been taking my dog Jake here for years. He's not the happiest when we go in but every single one of the staff have always handled him very well. Never rough with him and know exactly how to handle an anxious older dog.
He obviously has some behavior issues... read more (ahem, cocker spaniel rage) I had no idea what to do. My best friend in the world can barely be around anyone else but me and a few select other humans. Big problem.
The techs and vets at Saint Francis really helped Jake a great deal. They monitored his behavior and suggested a plan to get him to not just behave semi normal but help him feel less anxious all the time. So far, so good! I'm very happy with how he's doing.
I go to Saint Francis because I trust them. They are also owned and staffed by some of the best veterinarians in the country. You get what you pay for. They care and are the experts that I trust. I definitely recommend!

  Thank you Dr.JenniferMonkiewicz and Dr.Magazu for caring for Bailey! She's feeling much better back to her normal happy self.
From the DeVault family

  The people working there are so nice! They really care about your pet.

  I took my 8 year old Silkieterrier There last week when he suddenly became deathly sick. They did all they could for him and I couldn't be happier with the treatment Romeo received. Unfortunately my little buddy didn't make it but I believe he received the best care available. They... read more told be I could stay for 5 hours if I wanted to before I had to put him down! Awesome people!

  We were just there for routine check up and vaccinations but everyone is so nice and caring and they take their time and encourage any questions. Very thorough. �

  Saved my few month old Golden Retriever from Parvo - Dr. Collier was awesome!

  Had to take my eleven year old dog there today and they were excellent. Friendly, fast, not pushy, and very very good bed side manner. Highly recommended.

  Thank you for the work that you do for the Bully breeds with Don't Bully Us Rescue! God Bless You! I have been a pittie owner and worked at a South Jersey Vet Hospital and am so thankful for your help for these mistreated and misrepresented dogs!

  My dear Maya, a nine year old husky-whippet mix who had no health issues suddenly presented with weakness in her rear legs and would suddenly splay out going down stairs in our house that she had never had any issues with previously.  We did have our local vet check her... read more out and after a through exam and full blood panel; other than a mild UTI, there was no explanation for her issues.

I looked up Saint Francis Veterinary Center online and decided to get a second opinion about her legs and issues from veterinarian James Winkler, DVM, MS, DACVS.

From the moment Dr. Winkler stepped into the room, I felt a sense of comfort and relief.  He took his time explaining what he found and what he felt the issues were and he made some recommendations for me to get the information I needed so that I could have peace of mind and get Maya the best treatment possible.

Dr. Winkler suspected that Maya might have vestibular disease as there seemed to be no other reason for her issues but he clearly noticed that I was worried and so he also suggested an abdominal ultrasound and a visit to the neurologist for an MRI.

I left with some good information and recommendations which I followed up on and Maya has a treatment plan that we are following through on so I'm very happy.

Dr. Matthew Gutman, DVM, ACVR Post-Trainee at St Francis did Maya's ultrasound work-up and he also spent a lot of time with me explaining the results and was able to rule out any abdominal issues.

My experience at St. Francis Veterinary Center was wonderful and the staff and doctors should really be commended for their professionalism, caring, amazing bedside manner and the time they spend explaining procedures, results and providing excellent care for animals while having compassion and consideration for worried owners.

  I just recently had my dog Lexi in for surgery with Dr. Magazu. I was beside myself with anxiety and fear at learning she would be having such an aggressive treatment and need to stay overnight as well. She has never been away from me that long, but the care... read more and attentive staff were completely accommodating even after a few "middle of the night, anxiety-riddled" phone calls. Very professional, informative, and caring.

  I have been a CVT for 16 years now, I knew before I left my house that my 13 year old Akita had a GDV(bloat), I also knew that due to cost and age surgery was not an option. I am sending a huge thank you to Dr. Li,... read more the receptionist and the unsung heroes in the back. Most clients who come in for emergency appointments may not know or remember your name, but we remember what you did to help us in our time of need. From the bottom or our hearts we thank you for taking such good care of my beautiful Dakota in her final moments.

  My beloved house bunny, Harry, developed a large mass on his abdomen seemingly overnight. We brought him in, but due to his age (9) and not wanting to put him through a surgery he may not make it through or recover from, we decided to take him home and just... read more monitor how our otherwise still very happy & active was feeling - trusting we'd know it was time. A little over 2 weeks later, and sleeping on the floor next to him every night, I looked at him and his eyes just looked dull - and he had trouble turning with the hard mass - I just said "you aren't feeling good are ya buddy" and made the most difficult call and we brought him in. The staff was compassionate beyond words, letting us stay with him for as long as we needed to say our goodbyes. We were there when he painlessly crossed over and again, the staff allowed us to stay with Harry long after it was finished until we were ready to go. They had us take care if payment and cremation options before we went back so we didn't have to stand at the desk emotional/crying afterwards. The doctor, whose name I'm sorry I didn't remember, was so kind, he told Harry sorry and was very compassionate to our loss. When I got the call the following week to pick up Harry's remains, the staff again expressed how sorry they were. Not only were his ashes in a beautiful box with engraved plate, there was a plaster keepsake of his paw print. We also received a sympathy card in the mail signed by the staff. No one ever wants to have to say goodbye to their pet (who is really family to most people) but if and when you do, I cannot think of a more compassionate professional place to go. (On a happier note - we take our 2 birds to get their trim there as well and it's quick, painless, and I feel good knowing a doctor is doing it!)

  In the hardest moment as a pet parent... the staff, nurses, and doctors, have comforted me and my family. They have went above and beyond. They have eased our hearts and comforted our precious puppy. This facility has been nothing short of a blessing to my family and our baby.... read more I can not express how much they have done and how thankful we are for them. We drove almost an hour in a rain storm for an emergency visit. They took us in, gave us a room, and started everything instantly so they could help save our baby. When I was weak with emotions, they comforted me. They put my puppy before anything. Thank you, you are a blessing to all pet parents and their furry babies.

  Staff were exceptional and very caring. Was very pleased with my experience, but the fees were a bit steep!
