We've been coming here for years. Dr. Miller is our cats' primary vet, and I've been pleased with the care they've received. Dr. Cameron helped us with end of life decisions for our previous cat, years ago, and I will be forever grateful for his compassion and professionalism. Read Less

They are all so nice, so caring, you don't wait hours and when my poor dog was hospitalized here for 4-5 days, she actually seemed to still love the staff after her ordeal. Reasonable prices for the area. Dr. Cameron's parents were both veterinarians -- he is Dr. Doolittle, for sure. Highly recommend, extremely compassionate doctors! Read Less

I've been thinking about leaving a review for Cameron for a long time. I think local pet owners need to know the truth. We used to take our cat here, because it was local, so therefore easy, and they had such good reviews on here. At first I was charmed by the vintage vibe and small-town feel. But beyond the hard-to-get appointments, extremely long wait time once you are there, and very uncomfortable for owners and pets waiting room (there are little stalls, like a horse stable), they did the unthinkable... I knew there was something wrong with my cat, and I kept taking her in for checkups. They sent me to the animal hospital for her seizures. While there, the hospital found she had diabetes (Cameron never found that, the hospital did). I thought- ok, that's not too bad, she'll live for several more years. And I took her back to Cameron for a follow-up. Now, because she's "feisty" they never really examined her, at any visit. I originally had Dr. Miller, and then she clearly said she didn't want to deal with my cat and foisted us off on the other vet. They took basic vitals and glanced at her but that's it. I knew she still had something else going on, so I demanded her medical records (which they were shocked at. They had to slowly print them all out, and kept asking where I was taking her). I took her to amazing Dr. Daly at Caldwell (VMC), which is beautiful, modern facility with a caring office staff. Dr. Daly immediately looked into her mouth (even though my cat is feisty, because, well, that's the job of a vet!) and diagnosed terminal oral cancer. Of course I took her to a hospital and all that. But she did have cancer and died two months later. Explain to me why Cameron couldn't have examined her for the years I took her there? And yes, she was feisty, but I know the stressors at Cameron (smells, confined spaces, proximity to dogs) didn't help! Caldwell VMC, where I am now taking my second cat, is leagues better. They sent me a sympathy card when my cat passed, and my new cat loves Dr. Daly as well. I don't care if you're local, do better by your pets and take them to a better vet. Read Less

I take my three Japanese Chin and my Cat to Cameron Animal Hospital. There is no Vet like Dr. Cameron, he is compassionate and so knowledgeable. We work during the week so we also see Dr. Houston who is also really good with our furbabies. Read Less

Not sure how long the person answering the phones has been working as a receptionist. Needless to say she could use a customer service class. I didn't have a pleasant experience with her on the phone so I didn't bother coming in. Not sure if this office understands there are other options out there; maybe they feel like there aren't any other options because they are always 'booked' but human healthcare is now customer service driven and pet care should be no different!

I know Dr. Cameron over 40 years and he has always taken wonderful care of my dogs. He has a very knowledgeable staff and I always entrusted  them with the care of my babies.I now live in Amarillo,  Tx and hope to visit New Jersey one of these days and will certainly stop by to see Dr. Cameron. Read Less

I took my baby here out of desperation and was sooo pleased with the level of care I received!  I WILL BE BACK!!!!!!! The staff was friendly and helpful. The doc seemed to have genuine concern for my pet and what I had to say!!!  Thanks again! Highly recommended!!! Read Less

An amazing place, the people are great and extremely knowledgeable. My cat has seasonal issues sometimes and came in for an eye problem. He got the meds and the checkup and he's doing great. He has an issue with his hand from an accident when he was an outdoor cat in CA and we're looking for a surgeon, they gave us three amazing references and now have an appointment set for the little man. This place has you in and out and with exactly what you need. Read Less

Dr. Cameron has been my veterinarian for nearly 40 years. I wish I could find a doctor for myself as careful, caring, and knowledgeable as he is. I have nothing but confidence in him, as well as Dr. Huston, who has attended as well. The staff is equally competent and caring. I cannot endorse the Cameron Animal hospital highly enough... Read Less

Recently my dog had a cystotomy surgery done here. My dog is 14 yrs old and i was worried about putting him through surgery to begin with. After dropping him off at 7:30am for surgery i waited all day for a call on his progress. NO ONE EVER CALLED TO TELL ME OF HE WAS OK OR IF HE EVEN MADE IT THROUGH SURGERY. I literally had to drive there at 11pm at night and knock on the door until a security guard answered so I could find out if my dog was ok. After that I decided I would not be back but I still needed to do business with them to get his prescription food. The ladies at the front desk were so rude and unprofessional, they acted like they could care less about me or my dog even after we had a $3,000 surgery done there. I never did get his prescription food because they kept forgetting to order it for me and when I would call they would never apologize they would actually make things worse by being so extremely rude, and at some points tbey would hang up on me. I literally have never been treated like this by anyone in my whole life let alone a place of business! Finally I asked to speak to a manager, his name was Mike, he was the only person who ever acted like he cared and was able to get something done for me. Because of him I was able to part ways with this vet peacefully but I still cannot believe how I was treated while I was there. Read Less

Cameron Animal Hospital has been with my family for 36 years and counting.  I can only dream of finding a vet as great as Dr. Cameron where I live now (he's still my mother's vet).  The entire staff is amazing and really care. Read Less

I've only seen, and only willing to see, Dr Cameron every time I bring in rescues or my own pets. He is truly and master in his profession. Except for the vet techs, sadly, the rest of the staff isn't very nice at all. They seem to control Dr Cameron's decisions on helping rescuers and are now treating rescuers jus the same as any other pet owner. This makes it very difficult towards and discourages rescue work. There aren't many resources as it is. And Dr Cameron was a God-sent. Staff are making sure this doesn't happen anymore. Read Less

I adopted 2 furry miscreants from Cameron Animal Hospital 1 year ago.  It was love at first sight.  Dr. Cameron, Dr. Houston, and Jenni were very thorough throughout the adoption process, getting vetted by the vet! The whole team showed great affection for the boys (I opened the carrier a few times for goodbye hugs) and they were extremely rigorous in explaining their continued care due to an upper respiratory infection.  Not once did I get nickle and dime'd for product/food/medication, it's all about the kittens and their well-being. They're an amazing and dedicated group of people. Slow waiting times during the vet appointments are actually worth the genuine care my friends receive and I wouldn't trade it for an in & out experience.I didn't give a full 5 stars is because it took a bit of effort to get the files sent to their primary care veterinarian and I also had a very strange phone experience. Reception asked if I was "getting them declawed?" It was disturbing that a vet practice would offer this up and when I mentioned it to Dr. Cameron, he said he doesn't do that particular procedure.  I'm not sure if it was a bad joke/test to see if I would say yes? It left me with a bristly tail. Read Less

While the vets and nurses at Cameron Animal Hospital are great, their front office staff needs so much work. They are entirely too slow, probably due to the very antiquated computer (think late 80s/early 90s) which in turn makes for an awful filing system and paper record system. Recently, while trying to call to make an appointment for our dog, we were placed on hold for 20 minutes. That is unacceptable. They truly need a digital upgrade into the current century. Read Less

Dr. Cameron and his staff are the neighborhood vet to go to.  They are super friendly and very accommodating.  I've brought my rabbit to see Dr. Cameron on several occasions.  What's also nice is that the waiting room is also full of your friendly neighbors bringing their pets in, so you really get a sense of community at Cameron Animal Hospital.

I took all of my three cats to Cameron Animal Hospital for many years. I had adopted two of my cats from them. Dr. Cameron is elderly now, but is a lover of animals, accepting cats and dogs, no questions asked, that have been abandoned and abused. I recall a few kittens brought in that had had their paws burned with a cigarette lighter. He cares deeply about these animals, and saving their lives. My issues began when I hired one of his vet techs to take care of my cats while we went on vacation. Due to unforseen circumstances we arrived home a day early to find the litterboxes overflowing with poop, and the cats had no water. When I confronted the woman she flew into a rage blaming us for not informing her that we were returning early. I then received a call from another employee at Cameron Animal Hospital who yelled at me and told me that I had upset the other woman so much that she had had a car accident. As it turned out the young woman was safe and unharmed, as it was a minor fender bender. I felt threatened and afraid to return to Dr. Cameron's office and so sought out another vet, never returning. I must say I regret doing this since the vets working in Cameron animal hospital are the very best, and their prices are lower than any vet in the area. Read Less

While traveling abroad my one year old cat developed a UTI. My pet sitter took her in, and these people, starting with the receptionist did not care at all about easing my cat's pain and discomfort. Given the time difference I could not be reached immediately, so until I was reached and could send in an authorization for my pet sitter to take in my cat, she suffered without meds. Then, dr. Miller, was the least compassionate vet I have ever encountered in 40+ years of dealing with vets all over the world. This is not a place that cares about animals, it's all about bureaucracy, ego, and being right. I have 5 cats, they will not be seen at this stinky place, yes it also stinks badly, that passes itself for a veterinarian clinic. Read Less

I took my dog here because he had a cut under his eye. I was able to get a same day appointment. The receptionist, Joanie is very welcoming. Dr. Miller was nice. She performed the physical on my dog and did not really push antibiotics because his cut was not that deep. Overall I felt very comfortable with them. Read Less

I don't know why I stopped going to Dr. Cameron. I moved away but now after going to other lesser Vets, he is well worth the trip. So many times now a days, vets zip off "To the back" with your pet, Lord only knows WTH they are doing to them back there. Dr. Cameron always did what needed to be done, with you standing right there. I think I will be going back to him very soon. Worth the trip for sure. Read Less

Several people actually recommended this place to me, but after reading reviews I'm horrified. I also literally can't believe that the vets office is answering people's comments with their and their dogs personal information on the internet! For a visit these grieving people paid for and this hospital messed up on. Seems wildly unprofessional. Read Less

SCREW THE PEOPLE AT CAMERON ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN MONTCLAIR. THEY ADOPTED MY GRACIE THIS MORNING WITHOUT TELLING ME, after I made arrangements and was planning to get them next week. They would have know that if they had picked up the phone and called me - but instead the adoption coordinator said she was too busy over the weekend to take five minutes to call cleaning her house!! And they didn't even adopt her using the right name. Her name is Grace. And they separated her from Charlie which was the WORST move of them all. I am heartbroken. Absolutely heartbroken in California right now. How could a place that professes to be so kind, be so cruel !? Never ever use Cameron. They are simply awful. I'm so devastated right now I cannot even begin to explain. Read Less

After a miserable experience with Verona Animal Hospital, I was so happy to find Cameron!Dr. Miller is very experienced had has great, practical advice for animal care.  The office somehow makes this whole operation run with dinosaur technology; I didn't even know they made printer paper with the perforated edges anymore!  It may not be the most up-to-date office, but the staff is very caring and knowledgeable, and the hospital doesn't overcharge pet parents. I actually find their prices to be very fair, and they try to give you samples when they can.Although I've had very long wait times at Cameron, and they don't always answer the phone the first time you call, I think the level of care is much higher than other area vets, and I highly recommend.

Dr Cameron is compassionate, professional and is truly an expert. I've been to him for several emergencies and as a pet owner and rescuer, the least I can say that I wish for more veterinarians like him. Thanks Dr Cameron! Read Less

We recently lost our 6-year dog under the care of Drs. Miller and Houston at Cameron Animal Hospital, and so in no way can recommend them. We took our healthy dog in for teeth cleaning, dropping her off at 7:30am two weeks ago. When we called at 2pm, she hadn't even been tended to yet and the procedure didn't start until 4:30. When we picked her up at 6:30, she was a broken dog, trembling and freaked out, with vomit all over her. We were told she would be "back to normal" the next day. But her health deteriorated rapidly, and despite repeated additional visits and eventual emergency care, by Thursday she was jaundiced, fevered, with failed liver and she eventually succumbed to a heart attack that afternoon. We are devastated by the loss of our furry family member, and lament that her last healthy day was spent hungry, caged and alone. During her last 24hours, she did receive exceptional care from Drs. Smith and Straus at Animal Emergency and Referral on Bloomfield Ave, they ran repeated tests for trying to find the cure (and cause), but came up with nothing. We can only suspect (we will never know for sure), that there death was caused by some reaction to or mis-application of the anesthesia that killed her. Regardless, Dr. Smith sent a card and some flower seeds expressing her condolences. Cameron Animal Hospital sent us a bill for $500. Read Less

Dr. Cameron is a miracle worker! He brought my cat back from the he dead TWICE in the last 2 years. The eternal optimist with the compassion and heart of gold. Where ever you live. Travel to get to him! I wish he was a people Doctor so I could go to him. I know him 40 years and there is no one better than Dr. George Cameron! God Bless him and his wonderful staff!!! 5 star rating he has proven that cats actually have 9 lives! Read Less

I would NEVER take my dog there again. I recently rescued a dog from horrific living conditions. I was recommended to this place. I had an appointment at 1020am. 1020? I never heard of an appointment time like that, anyway I arrived at 1010am and waited an HOUR to be seen. I was ready to walk out 45 minutes in. Between the horrible smell in there to my dog shaking I was done. FINALLY I get called into the room. And what a SHI*SHOW that was. The doctor comes in Dr. Miller and after waiting an hour excuses herself to answer her cell phone. Kept waiting again I was ready to walk out. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Then she comes back and does a once over on the dog. I've never had a female dog before. And apparently she was in the beginning stages of heat. I left there with more questions than I came in with and NOTHING was answered. THEN (mind you I've had many dogs before) they proceed to tally up my bill and want payment RIGHT there in the room. I felt like it was a drug transaction. I have NEVER paid my bill in the room like that. Then they told me they need a stool sample. Ok. Gave me the container for it. I get the sample. I bring it in today and they want 51 dollars from me. I was outraged. What did I pay for in the visit? 129 dollars for a look over and a heart worm test. DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS THERE.Read Less

Dr. Cameron is a rare gem. His experience, brilliance and compassion are attributes he so deserves, and something you rarely see in this day and age. His concern is treating/healing your pet. In his long career he has seen everything and knows exactly what direction to take in healing your pet. He will never over charge you. On the contrary, he doesn't charge enough. He and his staff rescue, care for and find loving homes for many unwanted animals. So, if you have it in your heart I am sure they would appreciate any donation you could give to help them keep up their good work and place all those precious cats and dogs in loving homes.

I heard he was a terrific doctor but needless to say he's not 2 years ago I took my dog there to get spayed and Dr cameron told me she was already fixed ..so now my dog has breast cancer the new doctor took as much as he can from her thank god she would of only lasted a month or two if this procedure wasn't caught in time!!!. I am so upset with Dr cameron I will never take her there again.And just to let you know his assistant that was there told him but not once but twice that my dog is not fixed and he was right!!!. Very costly and this could have beeN prevented 2 years ago Read Less

Dr Cameron saved my cats life when I had no money, and no one else would help . I had one vet tell me all he could do for me was put My cat down.

It has been more than 10 years since I moved away from Montclair to Chicago but I still greatly miss the quality and loving care my many pets received during the 20 or so years that they were patients there, The reason I am writing this is because I'm totally frustrated with the quality and cost of vet care in the Chicago suburbs. I recently took our German Shepherd puppy to our vet for the last in a series of her vaccinations. They did give her a heart worm test and aspirated a cyst to make sure it was benign. That was almost $700. When I asked how much it would cost to spay her, I was told it would be at least $1,600. And, although I've taken five cats and three dogs over the years, they have always demanded full payment up front before any procedures are done. The rates other vets charge are comparable. This makes it almost prohibitively expensive to rescue and own pets. Dr. Cameron used to give us "bulk discounts because we had three cats and a dog. His rates always seemed reasonable -- and in some cases a little low. One of my favorite memories was of Dr. Cameron walking around with a tiny kitten in his shirt pocket, hoping someone would adopt to. We, ourselves, adopted three of our cats there. Don't know if he is still practicing but I will always remember him and his staff fondly. Read Less
