Very nice people, all of the staff are helpful. I do recommend for all needs, but they are a little pricey, be prepared to spend a couple hundred. Available for appointments really any time.

I really love this office, and especially Dr. Danowitz. I've been using them for many years. That said, several times they misquoted a price or hit me with stupid extra fees. Like once when my cat needed surgery, they gave me a price they said was "all inclusive" and then charged me $15 for a new bandage when it needed changing. I had paid $1200 for the surgery. It was so petty and they wouldn't back off. However, I still use OCVH because the staff is nice and the care is excellent. That's really what matters, I guess.

She is so sweet and caring. She answered all of our questions (which there was about 100) and consoled us BC we were so emotionally overwhelmed. She is a fantastic Dr.

What a great experience, the staff was amazing. From receptionist, to Vet assistant to the Veterinarian. Nothing less than professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable.

My first experience with Ocean County Vet Hospital was under a terrible circumstance. My Rottweiler of 6 years had an intestinal obstruction. From the minute the first person entered the room, they were nothing but compassionate, and extremely kind. Because of their attitude and genuine care for, not only the animals that come through their door, but the owners as well, I returned to them when I adopted 2 more Rotties. Everything about the establishment from the science to the smiles is all a veterinary hospital should be. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I had 7 rats who, being rescued, fell ill quite frequently. Every vet and nurse who I've dealt with there, atleast 10 different ones, were great. They never showed any disgust, fear, or lack of respect for my normally hated 'weird' pets. Even those who own animals that eat rats never treated them like they were less than. When my last surviving rat had a tragedy last month with her tumor exploding and prolapsing and I was a sobbing mess when I took her in they were very kind and understanding. If I still lived in new Jersey I would not hesitate to have them treat my guinea pigs if needed.

I have been bringing my pets to Dr Briggs for 15 years. I trust him completely.
