Description

Closter Animal Hospital has been serving Bergen and Rockland County for over 75 years. We are accredited with the American Animal Hospital Association, and have been for over 25 years. That means we are voluntarily inspected, and maintain the highest standards in medical care, record-keeping, and facility maintenance. At Closter Animal Hospital your pet's health is our utmost concern. We have had the same doctors for many years. Dr. Maida, our medical director, has been with the practice for 30 years, and Dr. Peterson has been with us for over 15 years. We offer a family atmosphere with a caring, compassionate and helpful staff.

Here at Closter Animal Hospital we focus on preventive care and offer many services to keep your four-legged family members sound and healthy. We have special programs for each stage of your pet's life, and customize our treatments for each individual pet. We can also provide diagnostic testing, routine and advanced dental care, surgical procedures, radiography and 24-hour emergency service, which allows you to reach one of our doctors day or night.

We look forward to meeting you and your furry family members.

Doctors

Dr. Maida

Dr. Maida

Dr. Michael Maida graduated from the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy in 1978. He completed an internship at the Animal Medical Center in New York City from July 1978 to September 1979, and on September 1, 1979 he started practicing at the Closter Animal Hospital. This was the culmination of a goal that he had pursued from the time he was a freshman in high school - to work as a veterinarian for dogs and cats in an efficient, friendly and warm animal hospital, offering excellent medical care and services with the support of a caring well knit staff who shares his love for animals.

Dr. Maida has been married for 33 years to his wife Nancy, and he has two children, a son Stephen who is 26 years old and a daughter Megan who is 22. His four-legger family currently includes Nori, a 13 year old fawn whippet, Journey, an 8 year old golden retriever, Annie, a 4 year old red brindle and white whippet and Scarlet, a 10 year old sealpoint ragdoll cat. Dr. Maida enjoys traveling, reading, skiing, crossword puzzles and gardening. He is also an avid runner and has completed three marathons and will be running in the New York City marathon in November, 2009.
