Dr. Martins has 4 other vets that are all knowledgeable and since my rescue has had over 300 animals there in the past year, I can honestly say there have been no mistakes and many cats lives have been saved due to Dr. Martins' care. Dr. Somjen goes out of her way to help, very good with the animals and has even fostered CAPIC kittens. Dr. Simon, Dr. Stephens, and Dr. White have all correctly diagnosed many issues we have had with our cats. Joni the office manager is precise, has a clue, and the rest of the staff is always polite and caring. They have great vet techs (Chrissi) and staff (Shiloh and many others) and I see how they treat everyone, as I am often there with our rescues and I have to say they are as professional and kind to all the pets. I bring my own pets there, so to say I believe they are a great animal hospital is putting it mildly. I can only state my experiences with the hundreds of animals I have brought there, and I have not had one bad experience and I have many cats who owe their lives to Belle Mead and their care. I highly recommend them.

I love Belle Meade Animal Hospital! They are not only professional, but caring. The minute you walk in the door you get a sense that everyone there has a true passion for animals and will do whatever they can to help you and your pet. High level care and customer service seems to me to be their priority. If you don't believe me, just go there yourself, sit in the waiting room and listen. You will learn more there in 30 minutes about animal wellness, care, and behavioral training than you would at any other veterinary clinic. I have seen multiple vets there and they each take the time to really communicate to you as the pet owner rather than what I've experienced other places which has been cold and sterile in comparison. I've recommended this facility to many of my fellow pet owners and each have thanked me as they've been very happy with their service.

Recently, we adopted two great cats. However, a bout with ringworm and parasites have made us frequent visitors to Belle Mead Animal Hospital. Since the first visit, the entire staff has been so helpful and friendly. The staff at the front desk is always prompt and shows the utmost concern for the wellbeing of our cats. Our vet, Dr. Martins is extremely caring and does an amazing job explaining issues and proper treatments. The office is always clean and the late weeknight hours and Saturdays are convenient. Even though we live quite a distance away, we still take our cats to Belle Mead Animal Hospital. We wouldn't think of taking them anywhere else and would recommend them to anyone!

I really love the BMAH! Everyone at the hospital is always very friendly as well as knowledgeable and professional. Their facility has always met my needs (surgery, dentals, x-rays, etc) and I feel they are also very progressive (Laser Therapy !!) The doctors and staff have always taken the time to listen to myself and my family.They have always seemed so busy when visiting, but I've honestly never had a problem getting an appointment. They have late hours until 8 a few nights a week, which definitely helps.They have really opened my eyes and informed me of so many things that my past vets have never even mentioned (and I have had pets my whole life!) They even treated my dog's congenital heart condition for years with medication when past vets told me not to even bother because he probably wouldn't live past 1 to 2 years. I wouldn't want anything but the best for my pets, and I really feel like I get it there.

The doctors and staff at The Belle Mead Animal Hospital in Hillsborough are genuinely kind and caring. They patiently explained how to give my cat, who was recovering from a kidney infection, fluids. The technician who showed me how to do it was professional and understanding and Dr. Martins always calls within a day or two to ask how the patient is recovering. The hospital is always clean and when I need an emergency appointment, the receptionist staff always gives me one. Dr. Martins is a gifted veterinarian and his staff is exceptional in every way.

I brought both of my guinea pigs to this hospital for mites and some stomach problems. One of them had a cyst on his leg. The vets never ran any tests on the mucus or fluids to determine infection, cost WAY too much money, and told me there was nothing I could do. The one guinea pig I was told was just 'old' at 2 1/2 years old, and was just aging badly. After bringing them to a fantastic vet in Shrewsbury who is ACTUALLY good with exotic animals, we found they were both misdiagnosed. We gave them a round of pro-briotic, which fixed their stomach issues. One of them now has 2 cysts I have to clean manually, and give him another 30 days of antibiotic. Had this hospital done its job, I would have saved 200 extra dollars on more treatments, and had a healthier, happier pet. They are completely inept at dealing with guinea pigs. Do not even bother going here. I recommend Dr. Cianci at Shrewsbury Animal Hospital in Monmouth County. It's a drive, but worth it, totally.

I came in as a new pet owner and had many questions for the doctor and receptionist. The doctor was very kind and patient answering all of my questions. The receptionist as well gave me very informative information on pet sitters/dog parks/pet insurance, etc. They took the time to answer all of my questions in a very professional and friendly manner. I would recommend them to all of my friends.

I think the doctors are staff at Belle Mead are awesome. First off, the staff is always friendly and helpful. I feel like I can always ask them whatever crazy questions I come up with. The doctors are excellent! They have a great bedside manner and are very compassionate. We started going here when we moved to the area and have had no complaints whatsoever. We brought our cat to our previous vet for years, and althought we liked him, he never once mentioned anything about dental care or how harmful the tartar on our cat's teeth were. On our first visit to Belle Mead, Dr. Martins took the time to explain just how bad his teeth were and went over every aspect of dental care with us. Our cat's mouth is clean and looking great, and I feel better knowing his filthy mouth won't be effecting his heart or kidneys now. I now recommend them to anyone with animals and have brought all of my other pets there. They even have experience with ferrets, rabbits and rats! Amazing...

I have had a horrible experience with Belle Mead Animal Hospital. The way I see it the people that work there care more about the money than the animals that come in there. I had a cat that was very ill, and no one could give me any answers on why he was so ill, then when i decided to out him to sleep, so he would stop suffering, I was looked down upon by the Vets and people that work there. I feel that they are over priced, too busy and just nasty people. Now to top it off, they are holding my pets records and will not hand them over to me. I paid for them, I deserve to have them in my hand!! Do not go there, go to another vet. I found out more about my animals, by going to a NON-Profit shelter then going here and paying an arm and a leg.
