I do not know what to make of this doctor, she seems very intense and dedicated and nervous at times, controlled at other times. All in all if you like a woman with fast talk, stories and a quirky personality that is dedicated to the task this is your doctor. She works hard at it and tries hard, this is her life. I would recommend this professional to anyone who wants true care for their pet and dedication by a great animal doctor.

I have a cat and I am completely obsessed with her well being. I used Dr. Negrin for several years when I lived in Hillside and then moved to New York. I recently moved back to NJ and my cat had an allergic reaction on her face so we came back. Dr. Negrin still had my cat's file in the back. Dr. Negrin has the three qualities I look for in a vet. 1. She is good with my cat. 2. She is knowledgeable. 3. She explains things very well so I always understand what is going on. Yes, she can bend your ear and the office could be cleaner. But the things I care about are the qualities she has. Also, she is the most reasonably priced vet I have ever been to. Of course, I've been paying New York vet prices for the past few years, so I may have a distorted view of that.

This vet is a total nutbar. I was waiting on Saturday for them to look at my cat and all I saw was the vet yelling and screaming at her employees. I will be reporting this company to the better business burrough. She made the atmosphere intolerable and uncomfortable. I stood up and walked out after hearing the yelling this vet was enstilling on her employees. Total waist of time!

I had an emergency this morning with my cat who is 15yrs old. We noticed an unusual abscess under his eye last night, but it was obviously too late to call the vet. I tried calling a local vet (South Orange Animal Hospital) as soon as they opened but they did not take walk-ins. Then they referred me to another vet nearby (Valley Vet) who could not see my pet until hours later. Both of these places were rude and did not seem empathetic at ALL! After googling some more, I found this vet closeby. (TLC Pet Doctor) I called and they were able to take me in 30 minutes. The receptionist was nice and the vet was very understanding and open to questions I had. I wasn't able to get a carrier for my cat (which is a policy of theirs) and they didn't give me a problem about it at all. This was my first time taking my cat to the vet and after dealing with rude people over the phone, it was such a relief to find TLC to be friendly and caring. I recommend this place to anyone in the area who wants a trustworthy and friendly veterinarian!

My family is grateful for Dr. Negrin. Our cat owes his life to her professional skills and her big heart. In the month right before she saw him for the first time, the cat had been catheterized twice by another vet to relieve urinary blockage. Each time the cat was hospitalized for 5 days. After the second catheterization the vet told us that he did all he could. The blockage could happen again, in which case only one procedure can be done: an expensive surgery called urethrostoctomy or so. It would be performed by a specialist to divert the urine path from the penis to a man-made orifice in the lower abdomen. The cat s condition deteriorated shortly after. He suffered severe pain and stopped eating or drinking. His urges and lack of control of the rare urine drops worsened. He could not walk to the litter box. We agonized over his starving, sad eyes, faint moans and the strange noise coming from his swollen belly, let alone the continuous cleaning of the bathroom where he was confined. No point taking him to the vet who did all he could...prohibitive surgery cost.. ..... We were in total despair! Then our close friend Nancy, whose dogs were cared for by TLC for years, recommended we consult Dr. Negrin. We called her and within the hour she was examining the cat and immediately performing a third catheterization. After 2 days in her hospital and 3 days of recovery at home, the cat was back to normal. He is doing fine ever since. By comparison, Dr. Negrin s service was more efficient, her fee much lower and her cordial feeling toward the cat and us a lot more. She collected, measured and tested the cat s urine to monitor the crystals coming out during his stay in her hospital. As far as we know, none of that was done earlier. Dr. Negrin generously gave us enough time to enjoy an after-hours nice chat when we were picking up our cat. We discovered in her a friendly, trusting, modest, experienced, strong-willed, dedicated, faithful human being. Besides the TLC clinic, she devotes time working as an Animal control officer. Most vets steer away from such dangerous field encounters with stray and wild animals in a low paying job. Dr. Negrin is in our prayers from the moment we saw her. GOD bless her.
