Mount Laurel Animal Hospital was started in 1976 by Edward M. Sleeper, VMD.  Animal Emergency Service of South Jersey (AESSJ) was created by James M. Laessig, DVM, who joined the practice in November 2003. While the practices were originally owned separately, they came under sole ownership of Dr. Laessig in January 2006.

Many of our staff and veterinarians have lived and been employed in this area for most of their careers. Continuing in the future, we will strive to excel at what we do; provide quality compassionate care for our patients, as if they were our own, and treat their owners as part of our extended family.
