About
The Clifton veterinarians at Valley Animal Hospital are Dr. Bruce Henderson and Dr. Elizabeth Kozakiewicz. Dr. Henderson graduated from the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine in 1986. He is particularly interested in internal medicine, knee surgeries and geriatric medicine including rehabilitation. He has always been devoted to animals as evidenced by the 2 German Shepherds, 8 cats and 2 birds that 'own' the home he shares with wife Laurie. Dr. Thompson is a native to the Northern New Jersey area. She grew up in Oak Ridge and then attended Fairleigh Dickinson University. After graduating in 2013 with her B.S. in biology and chemistry, she headed to Kansas State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Although she loved her time spent in the midwest, Dr. Thompson decided to move back to NJ following her graduation in May 2017. Dr. Thompson lives in the Weehawken area with her boyfriend, Mark, and their Kansas cat, Sorlie. When Dr. Thompson is not working, you can expect to find her outdoors. She loves camping, hiking, playing games, and just relaxing. She is excited to work with the wonderful staff at Valley Animal Hospital and feels lucky to have such a supportive team for her first job as a veterinarian. "Above and beyond' is indeed our motto and it is true we will do whatever we can to ensure our clients are happy and our patients lead healthy lives. We provide a high level of care to our patients in Montclair, Nutley, Clifton, and the surrounding areas, using advanced diagnostics and techniques not found in most animal hospitals. Most importantly, we are firm believers in pet wellness and offer all the necessary wellness services!

I am so very happy with the Valley Animal hospital. I have had experiences with all the Dr's at Valley animal hospital and they are all very knowledgeable, caring, truly concerned for your animals well being. The vet techs are just as pleasant, kind & caring.
My Dr. Is Dr. Thompson and she is absolutely the best. I moved here from NY about 3 years ago and was very afraid that I wouldn't find a great vet (as I had in NY), but I was wrong. Dr. Thompson has time and time again proved me wrong about not finding a great vet in NJ (like I had in NY).
She has a wonderful way of treating my animals. She explains everything to me so that I understand her and her directives.
She takes her time with each of my animals as if they were her own. I never feel rushed.
When I call and leave a message for her she calls me back in a timely manner. She is gentel with my animals and also has a good sense of humor.
You can not go wrong with The Valley Animal Hospital; no matter which Dr. You have an appointment with.
I again want to mention that the vet techs and the workers who answer the phones and man the front desk are also wonderful people.
You would be foolish to go to any other Vet; take my word for it!!!! If I could give the practice 100 stars I would.
Thank you Valkey Animal Hospital for being a wonderful place to bring my animals.

Very happy with my experience here. We sent our puppy to get nurtured and as a first time pup mom I was nervous. They were very attentive and answered any questions I had. The facility is clean and they are very professional. I would recommend this place to any one with a pet.

I had recently moved to the area and had been searching for a new vet for my dog. After seeing glowing reviews for Valley Animal Hospital, I booked immediately. I was impressed with our entire experience - from the kindness of the receptionist on my first call through the love they showed my dog before, during, and after our appointment. Highly recommend!
