good herp vet in nj?

[bdalton]

Hey, im looking for a good, reccomended herp vet preferably in the southern nj area. I found a list of them, but it hasnt been updated in a couple years, and theres no reveiws so im just wondering if anyone reccomends a certain one. My girl has had something going on with her eye that noone seems to have any idea about, so i would like to make sure, before shelling out a decent amount on a vet visit, that they know about beardies and can hopefully give me an answer about her eye, do a full exam and fecal. I know this is a far shot, but maybe someoneeee is in my area :/

I'm in Bucks County PA... and supposedly there is a good exotic vet where I take my dogs to at Ark Animal Hospital in Chalfont, PA... not sure if it's too far for you, but if you can't find anyone... atleast here is a possiblity

Thanks a bunch. Ill mapquest it and see how far. I live in the boondocks, so im expecting to have to drive at least an hour, so if its under 2, ill take her!

[bdalton]

Yeah, do you have the address so i can see exactly how far it is from my house.? Thanks

Not sure where you're at in southern NJ, but I used Ocean County Veterinary Hospital in Lakewood. Dr. Warren Briggs was Pookie's vet until my dog vet in Middletown hired a herp specialist.
Dr. Briggs is very thorough and knowledgeable and just adored Pookie.

Oh now thats perfect! Lakewood is only about 40-45 min from me. Do you still happen to have any information on them like address or phone number? If not im sure i can look it up by his name. Thanks

Do you remember what the general appt price was? Ive been calling around and just cant believe the difference in prices some places charge. I thought maybe going by price would be a factor of how good they are, but i see that is not the case at all. Ive gotten ranges from 40 all the way up to 125 just to walk through the door and anywhere from 20-75 for a fecal. I can already see this is going to be pretty penny, but my girls worth it

Animal and Bird Healthcare Center & Hospital in Cherry Hill. They are totally herp-friendly and thorough and generally fantastic. http://www.animalandbirdvet.com/

He is very good. He just moved there in the past 4 to 6 months. He was closer to me here. Ive went to him several times.

In case you're still considering OCVH: http://www.ocvh.com/
Don't remember what their prices were, since it'd been 2 years since we'd been there last.
