Scott Steckler, VMD

Came here when my dogs mouth was bleeding and had an infection. During the 1^st visit, it didn’t feel like he didn’t do anything except just looking at his mouth and not giving us a diagnosis. We were not impressed with the enormous amount we were charged and the gift bag we were given did not make up for it. Luckily this all changed as time went on, the pills Dr. Steckler gave us worked a miracle for my dogs mouth. We did dental work as well and did not cost as much as it would have at other places. So happy we switched from Fair Lawn Animal Hospital.
Bottom line: He does not play around misdiagnosing animals and playing games with follow up visits. Very straightforward and honest vet. His office is warm and inviting as well.

The best of the best! Dr. Steckler cares so much about the animals and their well being. He’s extremely knowledgeable and doens’t try to sell you things you won’t need. In fact, he often says what you DON’T need so you’re not wasting money on shots/​medicines that only fatten the wallets of others at your expense.
There’s a reason this small office is always full. I recommend this place highly!

We took our French Bulldog Violet to Glen Rock Veterinary Hospital and we were very pleased with the service and very reasonable cost. We have moved three times in the last six years so we’ve taken Violet to at least five different vets. I was really impressed at how calm Violet was at Dr. Steckler’s office. Usually she starts to get nervous while on the examining table, but Dr. Steckler seemed to have that calm assertive energy that Cesar Millan is always talking about. Our bill for a first time checkup (including some medication) was just $ 125, which I thought was VERY reasonable.

After taking all my pets to over priced Oradell Animal Hospital, I wanted to find somewhere where we get reasonably priced yet personal and attentive care. After reading a ton of reviews here, we took the leap with Dr. Steckler and we are extremely happy. You enter a very inviting and comforting atmosphere where you are greeted along with your pet by a friendly staff. We’ve had a couple of office visits and were always taken on time and Dr. Steckler cut no corners and did a thorough check up on our pup. He also made sure to answer any and all questions we had and wouldn’t let us leave until we fell comfortable that all our concerns and questions were addressed. We leave behind the constant unnecessary outrageously priced tests that OAH forced on us when simple tests/​diagnosis would have been sufficient. We couldn’t be happier with our new vet!

Dr. Steckler has been taking care of my dogs for years. Excellent veterinarian that does not look for ways to charge you more than you need to pay. Two thumbs up, or is it two paws up?

I have not owned many pets but in my tenure I have realized that vet hospitals are, above all, profit generating businesses. I have heard numerous horror stories from friends telling me how they were charged exorbitant fees for routine visits and even more if their animal required special care. I expected no different when I picked Dr, Steckler. He was the closest and I figured that ho hum care and ridiculous fees were all part of the process. I could not have been more wrong. His office is warm and quite friendly. Same with his staff. He is a caring vet and, while I am no expert, he seems to know exactly what he’s doing. In the world of mass market animal hospitals that act more like factories than offices, Dr Steckler stands out. He offers old fashioned hands on care and his fees are more than reasonable. I have recommended him literally dozens of times and he has yet to disappoint any of them. As for criticism… he could use a bit more variety in the waiting room candy dish :) Otherwise it’s all good. Kudos.

My family has been taking our dogs to Doctor Steckler for over fifteen years now and we love him. He is one of the kindest, most gentle doctors I have ever encountered and he has a great way with the animals. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, caring and loving vet.

I did not have a good experience with Dr. Steckler, veterinarian. He did not diagnose my cats cancer until it was too late for my cat. I have several animals and decided to use another vet.

Our dog Frankie has been sick and was having bad seizures over the past 3 months. Last Friday, he had a severe exacerbation and had to stay at the veterinarian’s office for 6 days because the seizures became worse than ever and he was not coming out of them. Frankie was basically in a comatose state for 2 days after they controlled them and was unable to stand and function after his eyes opened. On Frankie’s 5^th day, we were going to put him down because he was significantly impaired and recovery appeared unlikely. Our veterinarian, Scott Stekler (shown in picture), remained positive and worked tirelessly to help him even though the future looked dim. On the morning of Frank’s 6^th day, we were all under the impression that Frankie was going to be put down. Instead, we received a call from the Dr. Stekler saying Frankie had miraculously started standing and moving around. Instead of going to the office to say goodbye, we were going to bring him back home. When Frankie came home, Lou was absolutely ecstatic to see him. Frankie is still recovering now, but is doing better, and we have no idea what to expect from here on out. The vet is still stumped as to what exactly happened, but can only formulate hypothesis’ at this time and the prognosis is questionable. I would like to genuinely thank Scott Stekler and his staff from Glen Rock for their hard work and the passion they have for what they do.
