This hospital and the other office in Riverdale, are the only places I will take my animals. All of the Doctors are wonderful and genuinely care for animals. I have two older ferrets that both have issues. My female was nearly bald when I brought her in and we found out she has adrenal disease. They have been treating her ever since and she is now back to her fluffy, spunky self. My male ferret, has insulinoma, which is harder to treat and regulate. When he first had an issue, it was the end of September 2014, his blood sugar dropped and he was unresponsive. I took him to Oradell Animal Hospital because it was 2 am. They told me that I should put him down, as there is no cure for insulinoma. I asked if he was in pain and they said he was not, but he wouldnt live for long. I could see in my ferrets eyes that it was NOT time. That visit alone cost me nearly one thousand dollars, since they kept him overnight because I wanted Dr. Mike Morris to see him before I did anything. I brought him in and Dr. Mike explained that we could do surgery to remove the tumors, and even though there is no cure, this may help. Which it did! They also explained to me how to help if his blood sugar dropped again. After the surgery, we found out he was diabetic, which makes the insulinoma even harder to regulate. But with insulin, we were managing again. Very recently, Mid June 2015, I woke to my ferret having a seizure. I immediately followed the steps they had showed me to help increase his blood sugar, which allowed me time to call the vet and explain I was bringing him in and what was happening. When I arrived with him, I met with Dr. Debra Morris. I was distraught, in tears explaining what happened. She calmed me down and got him to a point where he was no longer seizing. Dr. Mike had showed up minutes after and he too was helping my boy get his sugar up and making sure he was okay. At this time I asked Dr. Mike if it was time to put him down. I in know way want my ferret to be in any pain that is unmanageable. His quality of life is VERY important to me. Dr. Morris smiled and said, “No, it isnt time, This is just low blood sugar.” He then explained that he was not in pain now that the seizure had stopped. I trust both Dr. Mike and Dr. Debra with the lives of my animals. After he was stabilized, Dr. Debra was his primary doctor and explained he also had a UTI. She suggested we let them keep him overnight. I, of course, agreed. They let my husband and I stay with him for nearly an hour before we left to go home. I, being the overprotective ferret mom, called them nearly every three hours to see how he was doing. As much as I wanted to take him home, Dr. Debra, said she was concerned about brain swelling and wanted to keep him again, but she could not force me to leave him there. I explained that whatever she thought was best is what I would do. She told me to let him stay again so he could get extra medication. At this point, I was concerned because with the bill I had at Oradell overnight was so high, how was I going to pay this one. But they said they could set us up with a payment plan, so I was relieved. I was even more relieved when I got the bill because it was reasonable. Not highway robbery like Oradell. I didnt even have to do the payment plan. They dealt with me being the biggest pain, calling constantly, crying, worrying, and just being overly protective in general so well. When my ferret got to come home I was so excited and so happy because he is back to being the ferret I normally see. They have saved his life more than once and I will forever be grateful to them. They are the ONLY vet I will recommend because they are the best with all animal types. I am so happy to watch my ferret run around and play nine months after Oradell told me to put him down. Thank you so much to everyone who helped with Ozzis care. You guys are the best!

I have been going to Dr. Morris for about 10 years now and this is my first time at his newer office (his other office: Animal Care Center of New Jersey located on 62 Hamburg Turnpike, Riverdale, NJ 07457 in which I have been going to for 10+ years ). I have also seen Dr. Elshafie whom is no longer with the practice whom was wonderful. Dr. Morris is awesome and very caring. He takes his time to sit down and answer any questions you may have for him. I love hearing his animal stories as well and I enjoy receiving his pet stories via email too. His prices are very reasonable as well and his staff is very accommodating and friendly as well. Their new office is really nice, very well kept and clean. Dr. Morris has been there for us through our 3 dogs (unfortunately 5 years ago we had to put down our Belle and Dr. Morris was very compassionate when that had to be performed. Such a very hard time for our family). I would highly recommend Dr. Morris to anyone that wants a vet that is friendly, caring and takes his time with you and your family pet.

Dr. Debra Deem Morris is an amazing, talented and compassionate veterinarian. She is an excellent diagnostician and surgeon. She does everything in her office so there is no need for referrals for testing or other procedures. Nearly four years ago she diagnosed my cat with cancer but told me she believed she could save him with surgery. My thriving baby boy just celebrated his 16th birthday thanks to Dr. Morris.

My family adopted our dog 5 years ago. Dr. Morris was recommended to me by a close friend and they conveniently opened a second office in Wayne. The staff is friendly and wonderful. They take great care of my dog and send me reminders when her shots are due. They have convenient hours and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinarian. Dr. Morris is wonderful and understanding.

Efficient, affordable and overall great! I have only had positive experiences with Dr. Morris and the staff. They are knowledgeable and helpful with whatever you may need. I had an emergency with my dog before and Dr. Morris was readily available to take my call and questions. They take quality care of my dog and his needs and truly care for these animals. Thank you again.

After years of using other Vets I have to say this is the only place for me to bring my animals. Love the way they always greet my dog and me with a smile. No matter how early or late I get there the people always seem to treat me and my dog like friends. My Bassett Hound, Doc, is healthy and happy since we found Dr Mike a few years ago. Ken.

Since The Companion Veterinary Hospital of Wayne opened, I have been using either this location or the one in Riverdale for my African Grey. Both locations are convenient, with a staff that is friendly and kind to the animals. Dr. Morris is amazing: my African Grey is 32 years old and I will not bring her to another Veterinarian.
