Valley Veterinary

06/13/2024

53 years ago today I graduated veterinary school at Michigan State University. It feels like yesterday ----- NOT! Thank you to all who have entrusted the care of their pets to me these so many years. I hoping to continue for 2 more years, max. Good luck and good health to you and all your pets.

After left knee replacement on August 31st and right knee replacement on December 6, I am recovering well. My retirement has been delayed and I will continue to practice on a limited basis for an undetermined time ahead. I wish all a happy and healthy new year, and look forward to starting hours very soon.

Ancient history:
My cousin sent this to me a few days ago and it reminded me that Sunday, June 12th was my 51st anniversary as a veterinarian. I took the day off! It is time to say it to my friends of the Valley Animal Hospital days, the River Vale Animal Hospital days the Valley Veterinary days and even anyone who remembers me from the Fanwood Animal Hospital or Cameron Animal Hospital days that it has been a wonderful 5 decades of having you entrust your pets' health and welfare to me. My time is coming, tentatively December of 2023, and should be a consideration if you are getting a new pet. My hours are limited and have been cut to pretty much afternoons only, still keeping my 51 plus years of Thursdays off intact.
Thank you all for so many years of fulfilling and enjoyable days practicing medicine and surgery for these wonderful dogs, cats and a few others!

Saturday, June 12th, 2021 marked my 50th anniversary of graduating the School of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University at 23 years of age. Within a week I began my professional career at the Fanwood Animal Hospital in Fanwood, NJ. A year later I joined the Cameron Animal Hospital in Montclair, NJ where I practiced until July 7, 1975 when I opened my first solo practice, Valley Animal Hospital on Broad St in Norwood, NJ fulfilling my dream of becoming my childhood hometown veterinarian.
In 1985 I purchased a house at 684 Westwood Ave in River Vale, NJ and converted it into the River Vale Animal Hospital. In 2009 I moved into the Bi-State Plaza in Old Tappan and renamed as Valley Veterinary. Five years later I moved back to River Vale at 683 C Westwood Ave and continue there presently.
It has been my honor and my privelege to care for so many pets over these 50 years and I thank the many pet owners who have entrusted me to do so. Some of you first came into Norwood with
your grandmother and her pet and now visit me with your children's pets. This is not leading to a retirement announcement as I have hopefully a few good years left in me. Again I thank you for your trust and support as I continue this journey working at a profession I truly love.
