Due to the increased demand on our medical staff and our extended wait times, AERA has implemented an online/mobile check-in service for EMERGENCY visits. This check-in and registration method will allow us to ensure that our patients needing the most urgent care are prioritized and that our clients and patients with less critical needs can wait in the comfort of their homes or cars. As always, we will strive to keep you updated on wait times and will continue to provide communication to clients with pets in our care through phone calls and two-way texting capabilities.
To check in for an EMERGENCY visit:

*Number of patients in line may not include patients that arrive with immediately life-threatening emergencies
If you are arriving for a scheduled appointment with one of our SPECIALTY departments, call us at 973-788-0500 and our team will get you checked in over the phone.
