It is so rare to find a veterinarian who takes the time to educate regarding procedures and options as you have done. You not only treat your furry patients, but you bring a level of comfort and understanding to their human parents by patiently explaining what is happening with their loves ones. It was the compassion, patience and expertise you so graciously showed to us that helped us to make the hardest decision we have ever had to make for our little boy, Madison. It is so comforting to know that we have found someone that we can entrust the well-being of our little girl, Samantha. Kitty kisses are so much nicer without stinky breath! We thank you and your dedicated staff for being so wonderful! We look forward to continuing our relationship with you, especially when we bring a new little boy into our lives!

Hi To All At Cliffside Animal Hospital --

My cat Chrissy has been a patient with Cliffside Park Animal hospital since she was 6 months old. She is now 5 years old.

I have to write this because I want to say thank you to Dr. Barnea, Dr. Morris and all the staff at Cliffside Park Animal hospital. My husband and I feel like part of the family and never worry about bringing Chrissy there. She is our baby and we worry about her the same way a parent would worry about a child. My husband and I received Chrissy as a Christmas present when she was 6 months old. We had just recently lost a cat by the name of Sylvestres who we were blessed with for 14 years before she passed on. Chrissy was born and lived outside for 6 months and belonged to a friends family member. The mother cat and her litter were feed outside but not brought in to any shelter. Therefore Chrissy was needy for some medical attention. My family and I had a bad experience with a previous animal hospital with Sylvestres and was weary about finding a new doctor.

I had made an appointment with Dr. Barnea for Chrissy to be looked at. I was upset because I did not know what to expect. Well I have to say - bless Dr. Barnea and his staff. Dr. Barnea took the time with me and Chrissy that first visit. He gave Chrissy and me such attention and I knew he really cared. I felt a loving, caring and affection from Dr. Barnea that I never felt from any other veterinarian. He made me feel safe and secure in bringing Chrissy to him. He really loved and cared for animals. I am a passionate animal lover and I felt that from him also. He took the time to treat Chrissy, give her shots, cleaned her ears from ear mites and went though everything with me - what he was doing and what she would need in the future. The office called me up after this visit and checked in to see if Chrissy was o.k. I never had such devotion given to any of the animals I owned previously.

Since that first visit my husband and I are in love with everyone there. We take Chrissy yearly for her check ups and always feel comfortable there. The staff is so friendly and all are devoted.

Today (11/28/03) Chrissy was brought in for her teeth to be cleaned. It was a necessity for her health and well being. Dr. Morris is taking care of her today along with the staff. I have trust and faith that Chrissy is being taken care of. But like any nervous parents, my husband and I are very upset because we don't want to see Chrissy go through any discomfort. But we know that she is safe and will be given the ultimate care.

Thank you with great sincerity for all that you have done for Chrissy.

Thank you for not only comforting the animal but the parents also.

Thank you for caring and being there.

...My first contact with your office was a wonderful and reassuring experience... When I left Oxford in your office, I could not concentrate at work. It meant so much when I got a phone call immediately after his surgery informing me he was alright and subsequent calls notifying me that I could pick him up. The attentiveness from your staff to my anxiety was very touching...

NadiaThank you so much for the kind & compassionate treatment I always receive when in your care. I know my procedure was just as hard for you as it was me. I could never have felt as at ease as I feel when I go to see you. I know you all care about what you do and it shows in your actions. Again, thank you for everything!

My first and subsequent visits to Dr. Barnea are wonderful. He was a wishing well full of info on my new kittens and was wonderful with them. His staff are friendly, happy and I trust them all completely with my kittens. One of my kittens begins to purr the minute she sees Dr. Barnea!


I want to thank Dr. Barnea and his wonderful staff, for the excellent treatment of my beloved Yorkie Daisy. I know she must have been a bit of a pain yelping all day for me, but we do have a wonderful mother daughter bond that is hard to break. Above all else the care and "compassion" Dr. and Staff have shown to both patient and parent has not gone unnoticed. I would recommend this office to anyone....

We first brought ToToe to Dr. Barnea when he was 2 months old, and right from the beginning he was a fighter. Since then, on 3 separate occasions, he escaped death or harm because of his quick actions! He first got very ill on or about October 31, 1999. He was sleeping all the time and vomiting constantly. We paged Dr. Barnea at 9:30pm on a Sunday evening to admit ToToe to the hospital. He required 24 hour care, and he was admitted to Oradell AH overnight where he could be monitored all through the night. He was in critical condition. ToToe endured NUMEROUS blood & urine tests, and also had an ultrasound and was diagnosed as having an enlarged heart, liver disease & he was in kidney failure! Each day he lived was a miracle and finally after 3 weeks of fluids, vitamins & antibiotics he showed signs of improvement. After just one month, he was back to his old self. ToToe is truly a miracle pup with 9 lives. We thank god and give a world of thanks to Dr. Barnea for saving his life and keeping us updated on his procedures & progress!

Max continues to do well... If he maintains his current condition, I'm confident we'll be celebrating his 17th birthday next spring! He's also been much more affection with us lately, which makes me think that he knows we've been helping him. That's a good feeling... Max owes his life to you, and since he can't express that himself I just wanted to fill you in on how he's doing...

We owe you and your wonderful staff our thanks and love for always being understanding to Ashes and her many needs. You always provided her with the best care an animal could ever receive. Even up to the last day when we decided to put her to rest, you treated my husband and [me] with the utmost respect and kindness when we needed it most. Ashes, too, was treated with love and tender care, which she deserved...

I wanted to send you a letter to thank you for taking care of Chief during his last days. Ellen and I miss him a great deal but our pain was certainly offset by the knowledge that he was in your hands and under your care... Of all the veterinarians who treated him, you were the only one who really cared for him in addition to treating him...
