Located just a short drive away in neighboring Montclair, our clinic offers the kind of comprehensive, personalized veterinary care that keeps pets healthy for life and gives their owners genuine confidence in every treatment decision. We treat each animal as an individual, not a number, and we never rush the time it takes to do that properly.
Our commitment to Caldwell pet families goes beyond treating illness. We build lasting relationships over time — through routine wellness visits, preventative care, and the occasional tough conversation when your pet faces a serious health challenge.

Complete Veterinary Care for Caldwell Pet Families
Why Caldwell Pet Families Choose Our Veterinary Clinic
Preventative Care That Protects Your Pet
Preventative care is the most effective tool we have for keeping pets healthy over the long term. Our wellness programs include thorough physical assessments, vaccination updates tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors, parasite screening and prevention, dental health evaluations, and nutritional counseling. Identifying problems early — before symptoms appear — leads to better outcomes, lower treatment costs, and less stress for both your pet and your family.
Behavioral Guidance & Whole-Pet Care
We look at the whole pet, not just the presenting complaint. That includes behavioral factors that affect quality of life — separation anxiety, inappropriate elimination, or stress-related symptoms that can signal underlying health issues. Our team offers strategies and guidance to address these concerns alongside physical care, because a pet that feels safe and comfortable at home is a healthier pet overall. Caldwell families appreciate that this approach extends the conversation well beyond the exam room.
Advanced Diagnostics, Faster Answers
When your pet needs more than a routine visit, our in-house diagnostic capabilities mean you'll have answers the same day rather than waiting days for lab results. We perform blood chemistry panels, complete blood counts, urinalysis, and fecal examinations on-site, with digital radiography and ultrasound imaging available as well. Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment — and having that capability under one roof makes the entire process easier for you and less stressful for your pet.
Conditions We Treat in Caldwell Pets
Our medical services address a wide range of conditions affecting dogs and cats, including dermatological issues and allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory problems, and chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease. We also manage acute and chronic illnesses with individualized treatment plans that fit both your pet's medical needs and your family's day-to-day reality. Caldwell pet owners deserve a practice that works with them — not just on their animal.
Comprehensive Pet Health Care at Your Caldwell Animal Hospital
Caldwell pet owners have access to the full range of veterinary services at our Montclair practice — from the routine wellness exams that form the backbone of preventative care to complex surgical procedures, dental cleanings, and specialized medical management. Our approach prioritizes prevention first: by identifying problems early and keeping vaccinations and parasite prevention current, we help pets live longer, healthier lives and help their owners avoid the stress and cost of emergency treatment down the line.

Meet Your Caldwell Veterinarian Team
Montclair Veterinary Associates is built around two experienced doctors who take their responsibility to patients and pet owners seriously. Dr. Cory Waxman is a University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine graduate who has been practicing in Northern New Jersey since 2011. His background is unusually broad: beyond standard clinical practice, Dr. Waxman spent time working with exotic species and conducting research in reproductive medicine for endangered animals — experience that gives him a richer understanding of animal biology and health than most general practitioners bring to the table.
Jim Montanye adds deep experience in emergency medicine to the team — the kind of background that matters when cases get complicated. His exposure to high-acuity situations has shaped a calm, methodical approach to diagnosis and treatment that Caldwell pet owners consistently describe as reassuring. Together, both doctors are known for being direct, thorough, and genuinely invested in the animals they care for.
Our support staff shares that same commitment. From the moment you schedule your first appointment through every follow-up visit, the team at Montclair Veterinary Associates works to make veterinary care as straightforward and stress-free as possible for both pets and the families who love them.
