Meet the owners

Owned by the veterinarians who care for your pets.

This hospital is part of Symbios Animal Health, a family of six New Jersey practices owned by working veterinarians. Drs. Nick and Elizabeth Pope met in vet school, married, and made New Jersey home. Dr. Jan Cailles founded Oldwick Animal Hospital and joined them as an owner. They live in these communities, they practice in these hospitals, and they answer to the families in their exam rooms, not to investors. That is what 100% family owned means.
