They’re always willing to help and accommodating their patients. We’ve been going for years with our 4 dogs and the staff is friendly they always try to get you in if they can . It’s Hard to get appointments cause he’s the only vet and doesn’t have Saturday hours anymore . But the staff will go out of there way to help . Dr Ashman is great and they’re wonderful ! They’ve helped our dogs a lot ! The review from Brian a month ago I can’t imagine Doc and the staff being rude and not wanting to help with transferring information. . Also I can’t imagine Dr.Ashman getting on the phone being rude and saying never step foot in this office again , but everyone has different experiences . He is very nice and maybe you were the rude one with them on the phone . Doc and his staff are incredible and would go out of their way to help if they can .

My 8-year-old Havanese, Luna, had her teeth cleaned here and the experience was incredible. From the vet to the staff, everyone was so caring and professional. We did blood work Thursday, cleaning Monday, and by Tuesday she was back to normal, happy and healthy. Her teeth look great, her breath smells amazing, and the price was fantastic compared to others I called. We felt so taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend West Milford Animal Hospital.

I would recommend this Veterinarian (Dr.Ashman) to anyone. My puppy had his neuter and extraction of a retained deciduous tooth. My Puppy is not a patient of the practice,this was our first time here. Dr.Ashman did a pre-surgical examination-including a dental and manual joint exam. He found my Puppy had a retained tooth. He offered to remove the tooth for a nominal fee including it as part of his neuter. My Puppy stayed overnight(at no additional fee) at the facility and was returned in good spirits. He has been having a very good recovery and acting like his usual self. The next morning the surgical area looked so dry and good. No swelling or discomfort from his tooth extraction. The office staff is also very helpful, including helping me submit billing for his tooth extraction to our Pet Ins. This office is a great community resource and Dr.Ashman has decades of experience. He is also one of the last few Vets committed to helping as many pets as he is able too,helping many Rescue Organization and one of the last remaining Vets who participate in the NJ State Spay/Neuter program. They also have a separate cat and dog entrance, cats and dogs are separated in the waiting area. A short ride out of the surrounding counties for a more affordable spay/neuter or surgical procedure. Very Positive Experience Here!

I REALLY wanted to love it here. Really really really wanted to. The receptionist was nice, the Vet was nice. The visit price was fantastic BUT... I left there feeling like the worst doggy mom on the planet. Went here for our 9.5 year old husky lab mix and requested an overall check up, and mentioned a couple concerns. The vet did address the concerns and then proceed to cut her nails. (Which we had also requested.) This is where the good went terrible lightening quick. He was cutting her nails while she was standing in the room. I offered to get her up on the table but he assured it was fine to work at her level. Nothing was fine. He was clearly rushing through with her and she was already very very anxious. In the process of this, he made all four of her paws bleed. One of them pretty badly. She actually screamed and was in pain- obvious pain. He brushed it off and said oh that didn't hurt! He said at least 3 times that the room looked like a murder scene. (He was right. It did. ) For 2 days she was limping. I'm really just very upset at the entire experience here. Yes, she's 9.5. Which was also mentioned a few times. But she is still active, playful and deserving of the best care possible. I wish that care had been given. I can't change it but I certainly won't repeat it. We only just switched to this vet because it is SO much closer to home. I guess we will just continue to medicate our pup and go further for the best care.
