Dr Monaco is one of the most honorable veterinarians there is, she has been my pets vet for 6 years or so. When one of my shepherds was having issues with her hips we discussed acupuncture and spent a lot of time together and not only did my dog Leia love her, we got to really know her and see the passion she has for animals. She will recommend as she sees fit while being extremely honest and comforting. I can speak from experience since at one point I had four shepherds and we dealt with hip issues, nose cancer to just normal check ups and all the dogs adore her. She really treats them like they are her own pets. Dr. Monaco went above and beyond during a time of need for us and came into the office for an emergency visit with one of our pups that needed to be put down due to his nose cancer. I highly recommend Dr. Erica Monaco for your all animal needs, she will definitely go above and beyond for you.

Dr. Monaco has been a blessing to our family!  Although our first meeting was not as we preferred to have it due to our puppy having seizures, Dr. Monaco helped us through that heartbreaking experience with grace, knowledge and honesty.  Our baby now recently suffered a freak accident which left his back legs paralyzed and required spinal surgery. Dr. Monaco faced timed us while out of the country to help assess what was going on and pushed to get him into surgery right away.  Afterwards she took great care of him and helped us with physical therapy techniques while he was healing at home.  He is now able to walk again and enjoy a fulfilled life.  We trust and value Dr. Monaco beyond words.

Dr. Monaco, an Army veteran, started working in her first animal hospital over 20 years ago as a Veterinary Assistant. Over the past 12 years, she has worn many hats as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, including positions in ER, Specialty, General Practice, and a non-profit spay-neuter group.  At her most recent company, she was able to combine her passion for practicing best medicine with her passion for team mentorship and training, as she took on the role of Medical Director for a 4-hospital practice group. It’s no secret that the veterinary industry is facing some major challenges. The field is burdened with the highest suicide rate, is at the top of the list on burnout rates and has an overall supply shortage of doctors and licensed veterinary technicians. Taking learnings from her Masters degrees in public health and economics, along with best practices from Fortune 500 companies, she used her position as Lead Doctor and Medical Director to help improve the culture and, ultimately the happiness, of those on her team. Driven by the purpose of helping a greater number of people in the field, and the possibility of joining a movement that would have a greater impact in the industry overall, she took the leap to go into business for herself. Dr. Monaco partnered with a small team to bring a new vision of veterinary practices to life.

Let me start off with Dr. Monaco is amazing!  We’re very fortunate to have met her when our dog was sick. During our visit, we learned she also performs acupuncture. Our dog has hip dysplasia and cluster seizures, the acupuncture has given him his mobility back, reduced seizure activity, and made him happy again. We’re so pleased we found such a knowledgeable, caring vet!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Twice our frenchies had issues we thought only the emergency room could handle. Dr. Ireifej was very comforting and did not upsell us on a bunch of things we would not need. We have spent thousands in the past with our past vet office, and we now will always call Dr. Ireifej first. Our boys are healthy and doing great

Dr. Erica Monaco is one of the most compassionate, kind, and caring humans I have had the pleasure of working with. She puts her heart and soul into what she does, and is extremely dedicated to her patients.  She has cried with us over losing an animal, answered emails and questions on her time off, and always made mine and my family’s pets a priority. I have a dog with a chronic condition, that she correctly diagnosed and treated after 4 other vets failed. Any time he has a flare up (which she’s all but eliminated at this point) she makes sure he’s seen in a timely manner.  She has never tried to pressure me into a treatment plan, or nickel and dime me. She is always amazing at explaining what she sees, what it could mean, and what that means going forward. She has helped me go through the pros and cons of treatment options to ensure I make the best decision for my pets.  Even when I had an emergency after hours that I had to take else where, when I contacted her she had no issues going over what probably happened and reassuring me that I made all the right decisions. I will always trust and follow Dr. Monaco, because she is in it for the love of these animals.
