  Excellent, DVM's.. Many cat rescues found kittens, to well visits, to emergency thoracentesis that saved rescue cat Franklin + Dr. P. did radical cancer masectomy on rescue cat Trinity and she lived 3 more years! Also saved many emergency wild rescues we' ve brought them = mice, birds, kittens & cats & all lived ! Outstanding animal care....

  The only reason I am giving one star is for their wildlife service. Other than that I would never take my dog there again. We saw Dr Kozak for 10 years. And.Dr Jack. Then suddenly she was always to booked to see my pet. We tried other vets in the practice but were always dissatisfied. She was sick one day and we had to take her to another practice because Dr Kozak prescribed tramadol without seeing her. Many times we asked the vets if her breathing was normal. They assured us that her noisy breathing was seen in short nose dogs. Just before the Fourth of July weekend we called because her breathing was over 125 per minute, very loud like a loud snore and she was laying on the floor. They put us on hold and she came back and said the dr said that’s normal because she’s on prednisone. They didn’t ask for us to come. Not long after her breathing was worse. We rushed her to Oradel hospital. By the time we got there, she was in respiratory distress. They took her right away to an oxygen cage and sedated her. They had to put her in an induced coma to incubate her. After x rays and exam. The prolapsed palate was blocking her airway. They did surgery to correct it. She was there 3 days and 2 nights. This was something the vets heard for years. It should have been diagnosed years ago. The surgery then should have cost app $1500.00 and not ten times more at an emergency vet. Especially when we called our vet and he said she was breathing fine. Oradel told us to make a 2 week check up with our vet. Once again…. Dr Kozak said she gave our dogs case to another vet there. And she could check her back but not her surgery and go back to Oradel. Oradel said a vet could check it. We are definitely never going back to Franklin Lakes. They have to many patients, they can’t properly provide care for all of them. We are extremely happy with the vets we now go to at Oakland Animal Hospital.

  I had an injured bird on my front lawn. I called animal control and they referred me to Franklin Lakes Animal Hospital. The receptionist was very rude and wouldn't connect me to the person who was caring for wildlife. For three days I kept getting an attitude and the run around. I called animal control back and they picked the bird up to drop it off themselves. I called back to see if I could speak to the person and check up on the bird. All I got was another attitude and another excuse of how they were busy. Seems like all they care about is money and not actually helping animals.
