A legacy of veterinary excellence

Built on expertise, guided by compassion, and dedicated to advancing pet care.

Our founding vision

Dr. Scavelli established our partner hospital Garden State Veterinary Specialists in 1994 with a revolutionary concept: a referral-only specialty practice where veterinary specialists collaborate as a unified team.

This model — unique at the time — was designed to provide referred patients with comprehensive care, expert consultations across multiple disciplines, and access to state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.

Shared expertise, unified support

GSVS Veterinary Emergency Care Toms River has a staff of experienced, ER trained veterinarians, technicians and support staff who provide medical care to patients in need of immediate medical treatment when their primary veterinarian is unavailable.
