Veterinarian Near Nutley, NJ
A pet that suddenly drinks more water, loses weight, or slows down on walks needs a vet who will look past the obvious and find the cause. Nutley families who want that kind of thorough, unhurried care find it a short drive west at Montclair Veterinary Associates, on Park Street in downtown Montclair, with our own parking lot beside the front door.
Dr. Cory Waxman opened our locally owned practice in 2024 after more than a decade treating pets across Northern New Jersey. He is a University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine graduate, and every appointment he sees is booked for at least 30 minutes, so your pet gets a complete exam and you get real answers.
Many of the Nutley pets we see are in their middle or senior years, when small changes in appetite, energy, or bloodwork can be the first sign of something that needs attention. Our veterinary services are built to catch those changes early and keep your dog or cat comfortable for the long haul.
What Nutley Pet Owners Can Expect From Us
Time to Get It Right
Thirty minutes or more per visit means Dr. Waxman can examine your pet head to tail, review its history with you, and talk through options without watching the clock. That extra time is often where the useful answers come from.
Same-Visit Lab Results
Our in-house laboratory runs many common blood and urine tests while you wait. For a Nutley family, that can mean leaving with a diagnosis and a plan instead of waiting days for a phone call.
Care Built for Aging Pets
Senior dogs and cats benefit from regular bloodwork, dental checks, and pain management. We track your pet's numbers over time so we can spot kidney, thyroid, and heart changes before they become emergencies.
Honest Talk About Cost
We explain why each test or treatment is recommended and what it costs before we do it. An office visit is $103, and our senior lab panels have set prices, so you are not guessing about the bill.
Pet Care Services for Nutley Families
From a new kitten’s first exam to managing a 14-year-old dog’s arthritis, Nutley pets can get most of their care at our Montclair clinic. We focus on prevention and early detection, because problems found early are almost always easier and less expensive to treat.
Services Nutley pet owners use most often include:
- Wellness exams and vaccinations tailored to indoor and outdoor lifestyles
- Senior pet care, including comprehensive labwork at $422 for dogs and $411 for cats
- Dental care, including dog teeth cleaning under anesthesia
- Surgery, such as spay and neuter and soft tissue procedures
- Prescriptions through our pet medications and prescription diet services
When a pet has a chronic condition, we set a recheck schedule and adjust treatment as results change, so you always know what the next step is.
The Team Behind Your Nutley Pet’s Care
Dr. Cory Waxman holds a BS in biochemistry from Northwestern University and a veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania. His training included an internship at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston and research into reproductive methods for endangered canine and feline species. Since 2011 he has treated dogs and cats throughout Northern New Jersey, and he now lives and practices in Montclair.
He is supported by veterinary technician Jim Montanye, whose decades of experience help keep nervous pets calm during exams, blood draws, and treatments. Meet our whole team before your first visit.
