Been taking our 2 dogs there for 10 years. Can aways get an appointment on short notice. All doctors are good, but we especially like Dr.Erde, he's great. For orthopedic issues see Dr. Harris, very straight and to the point. The front desk staff and Vet Techs are great too !? Read Less

The staff and vets are all very kind and courteous to both people and pets. We had to have our cat put to sleep and they were absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process, even giving us a plaque with her pawprints and sending a condolence card afterward. They always call and check with me a day or two after I take my cats for a visit to make sure they're doing better. Love this vet! Read Less

Great reception and physicians. Everyone tries to make you feel very comfortable and you really believe that the vets are suggesting what is really best for the pets. My wife's family had to put down their dog and the vet provided a great explanation and great comfort to her family. Additionally, because I work in the scientific research field and use similar drugs, I can also comment that they provided great explanations about the drugs and effects on the dog the family could expect. With my own dogs, they've been very insightful, especially when my dog was diagnosed with a rare metabolic disorder. Without their help, he would have passed away. My only frustration is how expensive medical cost are in general but I think that could be expected at any vet hospital. Read Less

I've been going to Pitman Animal Hospital for 5 years now, since I adopted my Jillian from the shelter. Now my whole family brings their dogs here. From routine visits, the passing our beloved Lulu, months of Giardia treatment for Jackson, and the freak incident of Maggie getting into chocolate, all the Dr.'s & staff at Pitman have been here for us. If you're ever looking for a new Dr. or a second opinion this is your place, they know what they're doing & then some. Read Less

My dog has a collapsible windpipe and always honks when she gets excited. On Friday it got a little out of control to the point where she sounded like she couldn't breathe. I got really nervous and decided to run her Over here since it's across the street from where I live. They were great and took me right away. The dr was amazing and explained the X-ray and what's goin on. She's on medicine and seems to be doing  little better. They followed up the next day with a phone call to make sure I was ok because I was Nj there havin a fit and to make sure she's ok. Great people and decent prices wasn't close to how expensive i thought it would be! Read Less

After a horrible experience dealing with another local vet some years ago and even being turned away when our pet needed an emergency visit, we were recommended to take our business to Pitman Animal Hospital. I'm so glad we did and I will NEVER take my dog or any future pets anywhere else!!!!! They care so much about your pets and about you and your family. Although our dog barks her head off at Dr. Collada he still loves her and takes great care of her! Thanks so much to a great place and great staff!!! Highly recommend this veterinary office hands down! Read Less

Not just expensive, but what animal doctor is afraid to examine an animal? An incompetent one with no expertise in her field. She then told me that it would be easier to examine my dog by sight, and had him follow me around the office. Honestly, any sensible professional would have waived the fee for doing absolutely nothing. No doubt, I will be taking my business elsewhere. Read Less

Probably the best vets in the South Jersey area. They are kind of pricey and I can certainly find other vets willing to do the same procedures, tests and examinations at a fraction of the cost, but the amount of concern, care and thoroughness these folks show towards you and your pet is priceless, and it's hard to find anywhere else. They care about your pet as much as you do, and it shows. If you really love your pet and want to see a staff with excellent skills take care of your pet, look no further. I'll never go anywhere else. Read Less

I've been going to Pitman Animal Hospital since 2001 with our dogs and our rabbit. The past year or so I've had the wonderful opportunity to know Dr. Genevieve LaFerriere. She is super compassionate, very knowledgeable, and explains everything to me. My elderly dog recently had to have a battery of tests and Dr. LaFerriere explained everything and why she felt that specific tests should be done. She didn't want my family to have to spend money unnecessarily but I wanted to make sure my pooch was okay. She really helped to guide my husband and me on the care and medications we would need for our dog. We've had several phone calls back and forth about my dog's progress and I really can feel the compassion and love that Dr. LaFerriere has for her job. She's also been very helpful in explaining different things regarding our pet rabbit and the proper care for him. I love Dr. LaFerriere because of her amazing kindness! Read Less

I went for a second opinion on my husky and they were so thorough and gave me options but unfortunately the best option was to put him down.. they were very caring and showed lots of love towards my family.. I even reciever a personal sympathy card from the doctor .. I also have taken my other dog there and they've been nothing short of amazing with him. I am so glad I switched vets. Read Less

Very upset. I bring my cat here but I will never return because of the attitude that the front desk gave us. I found a kitten outside and immediately came to pitman animal hospital because I felt I could trust their judgement on what I can do before bringing the kitten into my home. I mean they are medical professionals for animals but boy was I wrong. The attitude I received from the front desk was ridiculous. They are money hungry and she kept repeating that we need an appointment(just for some advice!!)Then when she asked what our other cats name was and she looked her up in the system she made a smart comment and laughed saying "ha well her rabies shot is expired from 2015" like that was 10 years ago or something, we just haven't made her appt yet for this year. From this experience I will never bring my cat back here. I left and went to another vet and they helped me and even set up an appointment for the next day so congrats you lost business. Read Less

I took my kitten there to be fixed because they are much closer than my usual vet. My wait was rather long and when I finally got to see a vet, he told me she had a heart murmur and could die from the anesthesia. I was then given the suggestion to see their visiting cardiologist for a full cardio workup. The vet left and never returned. A tech explained the $500 charge and gave me a pamphlet to open credit to cover the charge! I decided to go home and when I went to pay my $40 office visit (my cat received nothing FYI), the receptionist tried to get me to sign up for the cardiologist who was conveniently going to be there in a few days and only had 2 spots open. I declined and never returned. Needless to say, I went back to my regular vet who didn't detect any heart condition and successfully fixed her yesterday. She is home and totally fine. Boo to you, Pitman! Not everyone is made of money! Read Less

I have 5 dogs and  have been going here for over a year, and I am extremely impressed with some of the doctors. Now that we have been here many times for check ups, shots, emergency visits for poisoning and another for an injury, as well as a dog neutering and spayings we always request either:Sabra Olsen, DVMGenevieve LaFerriere, DVM[Pitman Animal Hospital has a nicely done website, and you can review all of the doctors and their credentials there.]My wife and I have great confidence in these doctors.  Dr. LaFerriere preformed 2 spays, and we were very impressed. My wife is a medical doctor, and she has remarked many times on how tiny and neat the scars were, which is really good, and both spays came in at under $500. We have has some issues in the past before; however some of these problems have cleared up.  One minor yet always persistent problem we have had is that there always, not sometimes, but always is an issue with staff or doctors trying to find paperwork on our dogs when needed- the reason being seems to be there just one folder in our name and all of our 5 dogs paperwork is kept in one file.  Inevitably this makes for a problem when even basic paperwork is needed to be found on out dogs. Most of all of our required  paperwork seems to be in the file, BUT things like shot records get lost time and again.  So not trying to be nit-picky; however it is not a problem at other clinics in our experience. If you have just a one or a few pets this should not be a problem.An example of what we consider to be a bigger problem is we recently had to do an emergency visit. One of our dogs had been bitten in the eye. Her bleeding stopped on the drive over because our dog was from sitting on my lap, BUT the natural excitement of being in the waiting room caused the freshly cut wound to reopen.   The doctor we saw said we could have the option of putting her under for a surgery that involved giving a stitch on her lower eyelid, and that the surgery would be mostly cosmetic. So... we would have most likely opted to not have cosmetic surgery done because we would not want to ever unnecessarily put our dog under.  There was no pressure either way, and everything was well explained.   We had to wait a long while for the estimate in veterinary clinic room.  In the meantime our dog's face way covered in blood.  The bleeding had stopped. Our dog had been examined and taken to from our room to the back, and returned - never having been cleaned with bllody fur and BLOOD IN HER EYE.  While waiting for the estimate my wife, a doctor, helped herself to paper towels and tap water to clean the blood out of her eye.  At home we would have had access to cotton pads, cue tips, and  antiseptic to clean the wound. There was a lot of blood   The doctor did not notice that all the blood was gone, nor do we think the doctor would have cleaned the wound or blood froem her eye. Maybe if she did there would be extra $ charges- everything is nickeled and dimed. Still we thought that cleaning the blood out of the eye, and off the eyelid, and the dog's face would have been a standard procedure.  Again this dogs face was clearly bloody.  The estimate came back at like around $800 on the low end with $500 for one stitch to the lower eyelid. We had just paid for 2 spays and each had come out to under $500.  We thought that the estimate was really high because it was around twice the cost of a spaying- a far, more complicated procedure.  So maybe $800 for a stitch is a going rate, and I do know of clinics that would charge far more. However, it did seem steep for again when a complicated procedure like a spaying costs half of what a stitch does. I can only imagine what 2 stitches would have run. This billing cost more than clinics for humans. We should have stayed home after the lack of treatment this time round. We wish our favorite doctors had been there. That plus having to clean our own dog's eye after a doctor had many opportunities too is why we still shop around a bit.Checkups and even the charge for an emergency visit is $50 per dog, which is fair. We did try one other clinic just once, and we were shocked to find that the price for a simple visit was over triple that!  One thing to note is that they will only see 3 pets at a time, and I have been to other clinics where this is not an issue as we have small 10-15 lbs. dogs.  Also as far as shots go- at least one doctor has a policy of not giving more than 3 shots at a time, which meant making an extra appointment when 5 regular puppy shots are needed, and this also meant paying for the extra visits.  Most other clinics do not have this stipulation, and I am not sure whether this is Pittman's policy or just one of the doctors.Pitman Animal Hospital does have some very professional skilled surgeons, and occasionally great staff. Local friends recommend the clinic very highly, and have gone there for many years, and the clinic is well established.         . Read Less

I have been a loyal follower of Dr Harris since he since he opened this office. He was my vet as far back as the late 70's, early 80's at Greenfields in West Deptford. I always trusted him and his staff with my beloved pets. Over the past few years I noticed a difference in Pitman Animal Hospital. The front desk staff got increasingly arrogant and the prices seemed to rise every time I walked in the door. Keep in mind that I have 4 dogs including 2 rescue dogs from Gloucester Co Animal Shelter. Recently, I arranged a checkup appointment for one of my rescues. I saw Dr Genevieve LaFerriere. After her exam, she discovered a broken tooth that should be removed because the nerve was exposed. Along with my $240.00 bill for this office visit, I received an estimate for the tooth removal. It ranged from $800. to $ 1400.00 but was told by the tech to count on "around $1000.00. After speaking to others, I was directed to Blackwood Animal Hospital. I made an appointment and saw Dr Stephen Euler. He agreed that the tooth should be removed. The difference here was that the estimate was only $425.00 including pre surgery blood work, and a cleaning of the rest of the teeth! I'm happy to say that we went ahead and had the surgery at Blackwood and my pal is on the road to recovery. My question is how can there possibly be such a huge difference in price for the very same procedure? Does Pitman use some sort of advanced technology that the other local vets are not privy to or do they just think they are worth more? I dropped him off at Blackwood at 9am and picked him up at 7pm that evening. I was given his take home medication and was able to spend several minutes with a very helpful tech who explained everything that happened and everything to look out for over the next few days. When I paid there were no surprises or hidden charges. The staff was great, Dr Euler was personable and answered all my questions. In short, they have earned my business. Going forward, I'm thrilled to have found  a practice that I can fully trust. Read Less

The place was pretty busy.  I had a long wait despite my appointment because there were some "emergencies".   I am only putting this up here so other people who might run into this problem can share to indicate if it is problem, or just a one time or occasional incident.Aside from the wait time, the vet was excellent.I didn't need specialty care so I cannot attest to that, but the vet was very gentle with my baby and I appreciate it.The place was spotless and odor free.  I have no reservation recommending this place to someone looking for a new place in the area.

This is the best veterinary veterinary hospital I've ever had. From the staff at the desk to the veterinary tech/nurse to the vet themselves. Totally professional, caring experts in animal care, affordable. I have five cats and am making them my veterinary care for all five Read Less

I love this vet. The staff is incredible and you can tell that they really care about your pet. I take my vet to Dr Collada, who is amazing. He really takes his time and never rushes with your pet, and he's so gentle with my Penny Lane. I'd never go anywhere else Read Less

I travel all the way from Wilmington, Delaware (45 minutes one-way in no traffic) to take my bunny here.  He is a chronic dental patient and will need at least 2 teeth trimmings a year, where he briefly has to undergo anesthesia.  They routinely charge approx $200 for a service that a veterinarian in Wilmington quoted me $1,200.  Dr. LeFerrier loves Monster and exotics and is the absolute best.  I feel totally comfortable bringing Monster there and knowing he's in good hands.  This place is truly a God send.

I have 2 dogs right now and have had other dogs over the years so I've been to several vet offices. I have never had such great care for my pets in my life. All the doctors are very talented and always take great care of my babies! The receptionists also do a great job, every time i call they always take care what I need wether its medication, an appointment, or a question. I love this place and will never go elsewhere, I tell everyone I know to go here!! Dr Erdy is wonderful and treats my dogs like they are his own. Nothing but good things to say about the staff at Pitman Animal Hospital Read Less

Wonderful, caring vet. When my cat became blocked with bladder crystals and had to be hospitalized twice within the same week Dr. Shinn was the main vet who took care of him. She was very compassionate and concerned about his welfare and was able to get the little guy unblocked. When I came to pick him up after the second hospitalization it was very apparent how caring she was, telling me how he was such a great patient and she loved his personality being able to spend time with him while taking care of him. As we were leaving she told me she'd be praying for his safe recovery and healthy future. Her passion for my pet's welfare made me feel so much more comfortable during a very stressful timeNot only did Dr. Shinn "cure" my cat with care and compassion, she also worked with us with ways to reduce the cost of the second hospitalization, the first one having cost $800 exactly seven days earlier. When we went to pay the bill for the second hospitalization (which was two days longer than the first) we were surprised to see that not only did she keep her word to help reduce the cost (such as putting the cathetors in without anesthesia) Pitman Animal Hospital also knocked $100 off the final total.I was very pleased with the service, care and compassion I received from both Dr. Shinn and Pitman Animal Hospital and have complete trust in them, wheter it be for regular routine exams or lifesaving procedures Read Less
