In 1961, Drs. Anthony Palminteri and Gary Johnson opened Oradell Animal Hospital in a small house where they saw patients in the living room and performed surgery in the kitchen. That same year, they opened a second hospital in Hasbrouck Heights. When the American College of Veterinary Surgery first offered Diplomate status and gave its initial certifying examination in 1968, Dr. Palminteri became the first veterinary surgeon in New Jersey to pass the exam and earn board certification. By 1969, OAH outgrew its original building and acquired a facility in Paramus. Throughout the 1970s, the practice gained national recognition for its cutting-edge veterinary medicine and surgery. In 1972, OAH was accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). To further advance the profession, in 1979 Oradell Animal Hospital launched an internship program to train new veterinary school graduates. More than 350 interns have completed the program to date. As demand for OAH's services has grown, new locations have been added, including Fort Lee in 1994. These expansion efforts culminated with the 2003 opening of Oradell Animal Hospital's expansive 36,000 square foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey. In 2013, Oradell Animal Hospital was designated a Veterinary Trauma Center by VetCOT
