Our recent POCUS ultrasound course for the MAES team members and referring DVM community was a tremendous success! Each of the 3 sessions were filled with learning, laughter, and hands-on experience thanks to our incredible patient volunteers, knowledgeable instructors and 50 attendees.

A special shoutout to Chelsea, whose exceptional organization and genuine connections brought this event to life.

This course was not only a fun and educational opportunity, but also a wonderful way for our hospital to leave on a high note, sharing valuable ER ultrasound knowledge back with our referring DVM community. Thank you to all those who attended!

With heavy hearts, we’re sharing that Mountainside Animal Emergency & Specialty will permanently close on December 5, 2025.

While this chapter is ending, we are incredibly proud of the pets we’ve helped and the families we’ve walked alongside during their most important moments. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us over the years, and for allowing us to be part of your family’s story.

It's not Hocus POCUS - just lifesaving magic!

At Mountainside, every emergency exam includes point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) - a fast, non-invasive tool that helps our doctors see what’s happening inside the body in real time.

From detecting internal bleeding to guiding emergency treatment, POCUS takes the guesswork out of urgent care and helps us act quickly when every second counts.
