Montclair Veterinary Associates

I had an appointment this morning with my new little rescued shihtzu, Pandora. From the moment you enter MVA, you are greeted warmly by Tyler who already had the previous records and info on her and was very welcoming. Jim came out to meet her. Joey took her in for her exam. Dr. Waxman is extremely thorough and knowledgeable, answered every question I asked, and took his time with her. I loved that the whole team meets you and it’s evident that they are all at the top of their game and truly care for each pet they treat. MVA is immaculate and has a very comfortable vibe. If I could give them higher then 5 stars I would. I highly recommend this practice!

Really impressed with Montclair Veterinary Associates, from the front desk to the techs to the doctor. I arrived a little early but check in went smoothly, I was seen on time, and Dr Waxman did a very thorough exam on my dog. My little chihuahua mix isn’t the easiest dog to deal with but everyone went out of their way to make Papi feel as comfortable as possible. I’m super happy to have found a great general practice for my pup!

Always there for me and my cats. 🐈‍⬛ I appreciate this a lot. Thanks to the whole team including Dr. Waxman for his knowledge and care and Tyler who patiently helps relay my questions. It means a lot when your pet has chronic issues.

Excellent care worked with me financially. Staff was profoundly helpful and very pleasant. Dr Corey gave me much satisfaction about my cat's health. Humbly greatful to all staff & Dr. Cory.

We recently moved to the area and got a puppy but had no idea where to take him. I am so glad we found this place. Everyone in this office, from the front desk staff to the vet techs and the doctor were all amazing. They took their time in explaining everything I needed to know about my new puppy. What to look out for, where we should train him and even gave us a goody bag. My puppy’s first vet visit was a great experience. I can see him looking forward to future visits. Thanks!

It's our first time fostering two little kittens & brought them here for their first check-up. Everyone here was so kind & gave nothing but warm welcomes! Extremely informative & patient! It's so comforting to see how much compassion & care they had! Highly recommend taking your furry kids here!

When we couldn't get appointments at our previous vet, we decided to try here, and we're very glad we did. Excellent care, friendly staff, and they've always been able to see us on the same day. Highly recommended!

I have always experienced some anxiety when taking my 3-year-old American Pit Bull, Apollo, to the vet due to his high stress levels. In previous visits, this anxiety has sometimes manifested in reactive behavior. However, I am pleased to share that our visit today at MVA was notably different.

From the moment we entered, Tyler, who greeted us, was exceptionally warm and made a conscious effort to ensure Apollo felt comfortable in the environment. This thoughtful approach immediately put both Apollo and myself at ease. The appointment itself went smoothly, and although Apollo remained anxious, the initial veterinarian we saw (whose name I unfortunately cannot recall) was gentle and understanding, offering Apollo treats to help calm him down during the examination.

When Dr. Waxman took over, he continued this empathetic approach, demonstrating his extensive...

A breath of fresh air! Finally feel like after several vets, we have found a place that is not only knowledgeable, but everyone is so pleasant. Brought my 6-year-old dog in for an issue after having a negative experience with our current vet, and was pleasantly surprised to find everyone to be so welcoming. From the receptionist to the assistant to the vet; everyone was kind and I felt like they all really cared. We got good advice on an issue my dog has had for a long time and weren’t sold additional tests for no clear reason. Happy to have finally found a good vet!

My parents adopted a two year-old cat about two years ago. For the past 18 months, she has had a rash primarily on her stomach. And despite several visits with a mobile vet and another vet in North Jersey, no one could get to the bottom of it. We are so incredibly grateful that we found MVA. They are amazing and they figured it out!! Not only are they effective and thorough but they make nervous cat parents (and siblings :)) feel very comfortable and taken care of. Cannot recommend MVA enough!

Updated: This is overdue. But I can't say enough about Dr Waxman, Tyler and the entire team. Our beloved Sophie passed while my daughter was home alone and we were in California. To say they went above and beyond is a huge understatement. We will be eternally grateful for their deep care and compassion. We are moving to the city and can only hope to find an office that is as thorough, caring, and warm as Montclair Vetrinary.

Amazing staff! They went above and beyond. Got us in right away. Did all the work to get records from past vets. Upfront about pricing. Welcoming and very clean atmosphere.

Wonderful experience at Montclair Veterinary Associates! The entire staff was warm and patient with my slightly nervous pup. Dr. Waxman was kind, thorough, and took the time to answer all my new-puppy-parent questions. The clinic has a great overall vibe, and I really appreciate the convenient parking and accommodating hours.

It was one of the best experiences I've had for my dog and myself.

I had a great experience at Montclair Veterinary Associates. Tyler at the front desk was so helpful and polite. He made the process of getting records from my previous vet smooth and stress-free.

Dr. Waxman really took the time to listen to my concerns and agreed to testing for a suspected condition. The initial results supported our suspicions, and I’m incredibly grateful to feel heard and not brushed off.

As someone who’s worked as a vet tech for many years, I truly appreciate how thorough and heartfelt Dr. Waxman’s approach is. He clearly cares deeply for both his patients and their humans.

The techs were also fantastic, very detailed in their history taking and genuinely curious to understand what was going on. The facility is clean, beautiful, and welcoming. I highly recommend this practice!

As the owner of an anxious dog who is somewhat new to the area/state, I felt a bit anxious myself to try a new vet. Staff has such a generous and sincere manner. My girl is very nervous and working on reactivity. Appointments have been very difficult and distressing for us both in the past/prior to moving but Montclair Veterinary Associates has always listened to our needs and provided thorough, careful, and stress free service.

Dr. Waxman educates thoroughly and answers questions fully. So rare, we have never had a doctor like him before. I feel empowered by our visits. Jo, Jim, and Tyler treat us like family even if we are sort of new faces. Just good people.

We would recommend to any pet families in Montclair but most especially if your pup is anxious or nervous at the vet!

Amazing, caring, and helpful staff. They were great with my husky Nora!

I can't say enough good things about Montclair Veterinary Associates! The entire team is compassionate, professional, and truly dedicated to the well-being of animals. From the moment my mother walked in with her baby, she felt welcomed and supported.

The entire team took the time to thoroughly explain everything about my mom's cat (toby) condition and treatment options, she never felt rushed or overwhelmed.

The staff is responsive, the clinic is clean and well-organized, and they clearly go above and beyond for both pets and their owners. It's such a relief to know that our furry family member is in such capable hands.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly caring veterinary care!

Great visit, friendly, informative and very efficient. Glad I made the choice to bring our pup to the practice!

Great service and friendly staff.

Staff very friendly and they take good care of your pet like it’s their own.

Montclair Veterinary Associates is hands down the best vet we've ever been to! After dealing with some complex health issues with my dog, we found Dr. Waxman, and it was a game-changer. Dr. Waxman’s care plan immediately addressed a chronic issue, resolving it in just a few days. For another more involved issue, Dr. Waxman was incredibly honest and upfront, creating a sensible, cost-effective plan that truly prioritized my dog's well-being over unnecessary tests. Now, my dog is thriving!

The staff's kindness truly sets them apart. My dog, who usually dreads vet visits, actually enjoys going to Montclair Veterinary Associates! They are so gentle and patient with him, we're especially grateful for the amazing care provided by Jimmy and Jo. A special shoutout to Tyler at reception, who is always incredibly kind and helpful.

Additionally, they offer a great...

Best vet experience to date. The entire staff were extremely welcoming and loving. Highly recommend Dr Waxman and team!

Montclair Veterinary Associates is an incredible practice. The facilities are clean and modern. Dr.Waxman and his team were so patient and gave the best care to my nervous rescue pup.

We had a great experience at Montclair Veterinary. They were able to get my dog in the same day and the Vet was determined to find the cause of my dog’s limp. I am switching to Montclair Veterinary because our current Vet didn’t care to perform half of the tests the Vet at Montclair Veterinary did in order to get a diagnosis. Thank you Dr Waxman.

Vanessa thinks you should try Montclair Veterinary Associates

Everybody at this practice is phenomenal. Appointments are super easy to make, Tyler at the front is wonderful. I brought my cat for his yearly checkup and vaccinations and the doctor had mentioned a tooth that didn’t look so great. They gave me a treatment plan and costs for pre-op and anesthesia etc. We went home to think about it and of course a month later the tooth had abscessed. We got in quickly for an exam and they confirmed and were able to do the pre op bloodwork and EKG that same day. Did the procedure 2 weeks later and everything went smoothly! I felt safe leaving my buddy with them for the day. Joan, Jim and Dr. Waxman had handled him nicely but stern when need be at the prior visits and everyone is so so sweet I knew he’d be just fine. Also their waiting room is not jam packed with people and animals having long wait times. You can tell they don’t overbook like a lot of...

Dr. Waxman and his team have been amazing with our fur babies, Leo and Goose. We first saw them when we lived in Jersey City and we were thrilled to hear of their Montclair office opening right as we ourselves moved to Essex County.

Everyone on the team - from Tyler at the front desk to the vet techs to Dr. Waxman himself- is exceptionally warm, considerate, and knowledgeable. When our senior dog Leo had to undergo surgery last year, they were extremely patient with all our questions and thorough in his care. This level of attention is brought to every interaction with this team, whether its major surgery or a quick annual check-up.

We’re so grateful to have found such a compassionate and empathetic team at Montclair Veterinary Associates and we know that Leo and Goose are in the best of hands with them!

monica Strongly Recommends Montclair Veterinary Associates

I just had the most amazing appointment with Montclair Vet Associates! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs at home, and I have considered switching vets for a few years now, because my anxious dog really didn’t do well at our previous vet. I hoped there was someone out there who really understood reactive dogs and how to handle them with the utmost compassion and patience. Well, I found those people! Dr. Cory Waxman and Jim took wonderful care of my nervous Trixie today. Poor lady was due for a comprehensive exam, bloodwork, and vaccines, and I could not believe how well she did during the exam! No trembling! No growling! No jerk reactions. They did not rush at all through the exam, and we had a chance to go through all of Trixie’s history and medical issues, so I felt truly heard. Dr. Waxman was very caring, professional, and knowledgeable, and he made recommendations for Trixie that my...
