Best

Nothing short of angelic. He is so dedicated, compassionate, and caring.

Worst

EVA at Dr. Cameron's should find a new job! She refused to let me explain my kitty's situation and history, kept overtalking me, and tried to keep selling an office visit for $62...

The best animal care! 9/7/2011

The absolute best in animal care. Dr Cameron is quite well known in the state of NJ. He's one of the most knowledgeable vets I have ever come across - especially with cats. He diagnosed my cat with one visit. My cat had been misdiagnosed for 10 years by 3 other vets. He was kind enough to open up for me on Thanksgiving day to administer a shot. He literally had me in tears with his generosity. I do love this man :) more

Right Place... 9/6/2011

Right when I walked in, I knew it was the place for my dog. It's clean throughout. The staff and the vets are beyond friendly and are willing to help over the phone too, possibly saving you the time and cost of coming in. more

Very Nice!! 9/1/2011

My wife and I are blessed to have her as a vet for our dogs. Not only is she gentle with them she's compassionate and willing to answer any questions we have. The ladies in the front are very nice and always make us feel welcomed. I recommend Cameron Animal Hospital! more

Great service! 8/31/2011

My dogs and I love Cameron Animal Hospital! The doctors and staff are terrific and truly care about their patients. I've brought my dogs to them for emergencies, routine visits, and surgery and have been so impressed with every aspect of their treatment. They happily answer any and all questions. I'd recommend them to all who want kind, thorough, reasonably priced care for their furry family members. more

Thank you! 8/30/2011

Words cannot describe how much we appreciate Dr Cameron! He?s been our animal doctor of choice for many years, and has taken very good care of our two cats. His hospital is clean and organized, and his staff are loving and caring with our pets. more

Great!! 8/26/2011

Dr. Cameron is great. Their hospital always try to help animals in need. They have a rescue center for cats too. Unlike other animals hospitals, they help local shelters with lots of medical care and spay/neuter. I highly recommend them. more

Good Care!! 8/26/2011

I have been taking my teacup Pomeranian to Dr Cameron for 9 years. Three years ago I inherited my mom's teacup Pomeranian. When I got this dog he had severe heart failure and had been given 3 to 6 months to live by another vet. Dr. Cameron was exceptional and put him on new med and new food. He went from 30 pounds to 17 pounds and is now like a puppy again. Dr Cameron is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything until you understand. She calls to follow-up with you. I trust her completely. more

Highly recommend! 8/17/2011

Dr Cameron and his team of staff members are wonderful. I have been to this Vet on several occasions with three different pets. My oldest pet, who has since passed, was dealing with many ailments (mainly tumors, possibly cancer) and Dr Cameron never guilt ed me about treatment options. He outlined all the options I had and allowed me the opportunity to decide what was best for my pet and my budget. I recommend this place to anyone. more

Urgent 8/9/2011

I took my kitten here yesterday because she was having problems breathing, the doctor rushed and took extremely urgent care of her for me. After 20 minutes he came out and told me not to worry, my kitten was just choking on her hairball and wasn't use to hacking it up yet. more

Above and Beyond 8/1/2011

I have been a client for many years with Dr. Cameron. I have never been disappointed with the care and commitment of the doctor and staff. They all go above and beyond with their generosity and love for everyone's pets. more

He Gave Me My Baby Back 7/29/2011

Last winter, we had a terrible snow storm. I remember this because I was out in the storm driving around looking for an open animal hospital to rush my cat Ming into. A few weeks before that day Ming stopped eating which was extremely odd because Ming loves to eat. I also noticed that he wanted to drink allot of water which is something he rarely does. So I called an animal hospital and spoke to a lady who asked me some of the same things I was noticing about Ming. She then told me that he possibly had bladder stones. She then asked me if he had peed at all and I realized he wasn't peeing for two days straight because he was in and out of the liter box. He even slept in the litter box which is something he's never done. I also told her that he was throwing up all over the house. I'll never forget those gagging noises he made it makes me want to cry to this day. The woman then told me that I needed to rush him to the hospital quickly because if I waited any longer he could die. This not only shocked me but scared me as well. So I called around to a close by animal hospital but they wouldn't see or treat him unless I could pay them eighty dollars. And that eighty dollars was just to give him something for the pain. I had no money at the time so I asked if it was possible to bill me so that she could just treat him before he died. She told me that wasn't an option. I was up all night into the morning looking for something or someone that would help me. I then came across this page for Dr. Cameron and was a little discouraged because of some of the reviews I saw about him. However, Ming was running out of time and he needed help fast. I remember calling Dr. Cameron himself and crying on the phone telling him what I had been through with these other animal hospitals. I didn't mind sending Ming to the animal hospital and having them keep him there until I could pay the money just as long as they could save his life. Dr. Cameron told me to come in early that morning and he would do everything he could for Ming. Dr. Cameron was disgusted with the behavior of the other animal hospitals that wouldn't do anything unless I paid. I agreed it was animal cruelty. A helpless animal was in excruciating pain and they wouldn't even try to help. Anyway I remember staying up that whole morning crying and praying while at the same time nudging Ming out of his sleep constantly just to make sure he was still there. Six o' clock could not come quickly enough. I remember Ming getting off my bed and me looking for him around the house. I remember finding him in the kitchen sink in a tight ball. My knees were shaking and my heart was beating fast. I thought he was dead. I kept yelling his name until he finally slowly lifted his head up and looked at me. I picked him up and put him in his carry case and me and my father got in the car and headed to Dr. Cameron's. Each time I called Ming's name throughout the ride he would twitch his tail a little just to let me know he was still there. Once we reached Dr. Cameron's he immediately took Ming into surgery and told me he would call and update me about what was happening. He did everything in his power to save Ming's life and I'm glad to say he did. After a few surgeries Ming, was not only eating and drinking again but he was purring again also. Dr. Cameron established a fair payment plan with me and I've been taking Ming there ever since. When Ming comes to Dr. Cameron he is greeted by smiling faces. They know his name and they love him. Dr. Cameron and his staff are people who truly do care for animals and not just making money. They are true Animal doctors. I'll be taking Ming along with any other pets I get to Dr. Cameron for a very long time. Although I say this to him each and every time I see him I'll say it again. Thank You Doctor Cameron for everything you've done. more

Eva Rude Staff Member! 6/29/2011

EVA at Dr. Cameron's should find a new job! She refused to let me explain my kitty's situation and history, kept overtalking me, and tried to keep selling an office visit for $62. She made a very bad first impression on Dr. Cameron's practice and because of that I will take my kitty elsewhere. Sorry Dr. Cameron but you should know how this staff member treats potential new customers. more

Old Fashioned Care 10/30/2010

yes the wait can be long and the waiting room is certainly small, but I have never been rushed out of the office. The doctors take as long as necessary to answer all my questions (and I have lots of questions!) I have never felt like my pet is just a number here, they are quick to give discounts and I have even been told where I can buy medicines more reasonably by staff. My precious cat will always go to Cameron Animal Hospital. I often wish they weren't so busy, but I understand why they are! more

LOVING CARE 10/14/2010

I have gone to Cameron Animal Hospital over 11 years with three dogs. I have received exceptional care & concern for my three dogs w/follow-ups whenever it has been serious. Dr. has given us special consideration because 2 were rescue dogs & often asks that I call him early in the a.m.. to let him know how they are doing. I as well have received many kindnesses from all at CAH. more

Love Dr. Cameron 9/20/2010

Have been going to Dr. Cameron for 15 yrs. He is by far the most caring doctor. I have adopted 2 rabbits, a hamster, 3 cats, and a German Shepherd. On several occassions he didn't even charge me for visits because they were rescues. <3 more

A true experience 5/31/2010

On Thursday Dec. 28,2009 i brought my dog ringo to Dr. camerons office for 3 days for boarding, updated vaccines, bath, etc. Ringo is a 5 year old wheaten terrier with no history of illness of any kind and has always been in excellent health.In fact, ringo is an overly hyper dog perhaps due to breed. When ringo was brought out of the car to report for boarding he pulled my 125 lb daughter down bloomfield avenue and when entering the facility he was jumping excitedly over everyone he saw. On saturday, Dec. 26 2009 in the afternoon Ringo was picked up in a highly lethargic state. He would not move unless either carried or pulled by his leash. Even while being forced to walk he wobbled very slowly having difficulty with balance and leg strength. Initially, our family believed that Ringo may have received some kind of sedative and would return to his normal state the following day. The next day, Sunday, Ringo became progressively worse. He continued to have difficulty walking and remained in one spot for hours without attempting to move. Our plans at that time were that if this continued we would bring him to see a vet on Monday morning. It should be noted that this was sunday and vet offices were closed. At 10pm Sunday night, Ringo went into uncontrollable seizure causing us to rush him to an emergency vet in randolph. The vet began to do numerous blood tests to determine the cause of ringos condition. It was discovered that Ringos salt content was severely high and he was extremely dehydrated. Apparently, the massive dehydration resulted in brain swelling which caused the seizure( prior to this Ringo had never experienced a seizure before). Ringo continued experiencing seizures throughout the entire night. Ringo was transferred the next day to a vet in fairfield ,where he remained under the care of an internist and neurologist and his condition remained critical for several days. After some improvement he was released on January 4, 2010. While at the hospital detailed testing procedures were performed including, among other things, blood work, mri, and spinal tap. Ringo was returned with NO diagnosis. Ringo eventually returned to his normal, energetic, and hyper state. The final cost of medical bills totaled $11,146 . We were never reimbursed by Dr. Cameron nor has he ever contacted us to show concern about Ringos health. It defies logic and common sense to conclude that this severe illness was simply a coincidence since a perfectly healthy dog entered the facility for boarding and the same dog was returned close to death. One should think twice before they bring there pet to Dr. Cameron. If anyone is interested in hearing more, or for evidence of this incident, you can send me an e-mail at apalfano576@yahoo. com more
