I've been going to Oakhurst since before it went corporate. Dr. Fanders and Dr. Doolen were great, but have left now. I had a recent bad experience with Dr. Applegate, who I believe does not know much about my type of exotic and is not very connected to the animal itself. He advised me to continue a course of medication that was clearly harming my pet, with disastrous results. Dr. Fordham has a better attitude, but seemed clueless on how to treat my pet. If you have an exotic, please: go to Northstar in Robbinsville and see Dr. Doolen. If Oakhurst's medical staff changes again, I could see going back in the future, because I think the tech staff are very caring. The boarding facilities are very good, though expensive.

can barely give them a star. We brought our cat in due to his bad breath. The vet took a quick look at him and said that he had an abscess in his mouth and suspected kidney failure and diabetes. She wanted to hospitalize this 17 year old cat and aggressively test him for these "conditions". When we balked at putting an old cat through these procedures, she said..."Well, then let's euthanize him today". We were appalled. This cat was not suffering, was in fairly good spirits, and she wanted to put him to sleep because we weren't willing to subject him to a barrage of testing and told us it would cost thousands of dollars.. Bottom line, we asked her for some antibiotics and took him to another vet who said the cat was in good health for his age and needed his teeth cleaned!!!!
Beware.

Although it is a beautiful facility, the doctor I saw was way below satisfactory. I recently adopted my first exotic pet and took him to see Dr. Applegate. After meeting with him, I was very concerned how he appeared not to know what he was doing with my pet and that all he wanted to do was run tests that were unnecessary. It was all about making money, and not what was best for the pet or the client.
I would not recommend him as a vet to anyone.

Oakhurst Vet. 5 STARS. Good for local visites,but not for a treatment plan.Reason they have a low/high cost as others give you the real price.Ex.Oak vet.L $1400/H $1,946 & you must sign a good faith Est.& 50% of money placed down from the H Est. as well.It"s like having a license to steal.Also their medication is so so costly such as heartworm pills by as much as 30% more than the ASPCA or PETMED.COM.They hate to write a RX for you to go elsewhere they want all your $$$.Moral of my story :I found another Vet. rated 4 1/2 STARS and in business for over 50 years as well. Cost for same treament ($485.00) The money I saved is for my pet to go on a vacation with the whole family to enjoy next year.Its like a BONUS for all.PS:NO NEED TO IMPRESS MY PET WITH A 12,000 Sq foot building in which neither of us have STOCK in the Co.IT'S YOUR PET/YOUR MONEY SO BE SMART MY PET LOVERS.HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

I have been going to Oakhurst for several years now to see Dr. Doolen and Dr. Fanders for my pet rabbits. Both are very knowledgable and have tried everything they could to keep my (often sick) rabbit in good health. While I agree that sometimes treatment can be expensive, they always provide a detailed explaination of the costs BEFORE anything is done with both a minimum value and maximum value and you have to sign that you realize this is the price. I admit I have spend over $1000 in one go on my rabbit, so it can be expensive, but it was my decision to do so and I do not regret it because I know my rabbit received the best care in new jersey. Their hopital facilities are amazing and immaculate and their emergency care is absolutely the best. I would never go anywhere else. I realize the price might be high for some people but knowing that my animals are in the most capable of hands, I would not trust them to anyone else.We drive over 50miles each way just so our pets can see thedocs
