Our Doctors

Dr. Rosenberg

Marc A. Rosenberg, VMD is a 1971 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania school of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Marc has cared for the companion pets of southern New Jersey for the past 45 years. In addition to holding the position of Director of the Voorhees Veterinary Center, Doctor Rosenberg is a sitting member of the New Jersey Board of veterinary medical examiners.

 

Dr. Marc's numerous television and radio appearances have been heard and seen by millions of pet owners. Perhaps most notably, he hosted his own nationally seen PBS television series "People, Pets and Dr. Marc." His radio show Speaking About Pets aired weekly on Philadelphia's 1210 WCAU for eight years. Oprah Winfrey had Dr. Marc as a guest on her show to discuss the subject of dealing with the death of a family pet. He is the author of "Companion Animal Death and Pet Owner Grief", a publication that has comforted many grieving owners in their time of need.

 

Dr. Marc is past president of the South Jersey Veterinary Medical Association and the recipient of the University of Pennsylvania veterinary school's award of merit for outstanding contributions to veterinary medicine. He shares his home with his wife, their dogs Millie and Idgie and cats Scooter and Mr. Burns.

Dr. Schoell

Dr. Jessica Schoell is a 2004 graduate of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Her professional interests include diagnostic imaging, soft tissue surgery, and emergency medicine.

 

She started her veterinary career in a small animal practice where she received hands- on training caring for exotic pets. However, the siren song of emergency veterinary medicine was too strong to ignore and she moved into emergency care full time after two years of general practice. After a few years of really strange working hours, she decided that a better sleeping schedule and improved family time was more important, and made the transition back to general practice (doing emergency from time to time).

 

In her free time, Dr. Schoell enjoys making jewelry, quilting, playing with her small pack of dogs, and chasing her two boys around the house.

Dr. Kaplan

Dr. Jessica Kaplan earned a bachelor's degree in animal science from Cornell University where she graduated cum laude before continuing on at Cornell to earn her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. She then completed another year of vigorous training in California as an intern in small animal medicine and surgery. After working in sunny California for several years, she decided she missed the East Coast and moved back to work as a general practice veterinarian in Jersey. 

 

The Voorhees Veterinary Center has always been very special to Dr. Kaplan. Growing up, her family took their beloved pets to Dr. Marc. She started her career in veterinary medicine as a technician with the Voorhees Veterinary Center before venturing off to pursue her veterinary degree, and is thrilled to be a part of this wonderful team.  Her professional interests include preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry, and dermatology. 

Dr. Hanan

Dr. Renee Hanan is a 1997 graduate of The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.  Having grown up on the New Jersey shore, Dr. Hanan attended Boston University earning her BA in Italian Studies then a BS degree in Animal Science from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.  After a career in social work assisting an aging Italian-speaking clientele in East Boston, Dr. Hanan completed an internship at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital prior to beginning her career in general practice. She has a special interest in internal medicine and geriatric pets, and loves working with clients and their pets to provide quality care with compassion. Dr. Hanan lives in Cherry Hill with her husband, four children and 3 chickens.

Dr. Brody

Dr. Lisa Brody earned her bachelor's degree in animal science from University of Delaware before pursuing a Master's degree in Laboratory Animal Science from Drexel University.  Dr. Brody then completed her Veterinary Medical Degree from The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.

 

After veterinary school, Dr. Brody started her career in a busy emergency and general practice before joining the Voorhees Veterinary Center.  Her professional interests include ultrasonography, dermatology, geriatric medicine, and preventative care.  She loves working with clients to strengthen the human animal bond through care and compassion. 

 

Dr. Brody's interests outside of work include running, attending live music concerts, hiking, traveling, and spending time swith friends, family and of course her dog, Peanut.  

Dr. Gartland

Dr. Sam Gartland grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. He received a degree in Business Administration from Bucknell University and his Veterinary Medical Degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed a small animal rotating internship at Oradell Animal Hospital and since then he has worked in emergency and general practice. His professional interests include emergency and critical care, surgery, toxicology, and internal medicine.

 

Dr. Gartland's interests outside of veterinary medicine include spending time with his wife Jess (who is also a veterinarian), his Great Danes, Caspian and Piper, and his cat, Domino. Additionally, his hobbies include cooking, traveling, sports, spending time with friends, and playing guitar.

Hi! I am currently an undergraduate student at Ursinus College majoring in Biology on the Pre-Veterinary Medicine track. As a junior, I plan on applying to vet school the fall of my senior year. I joined Voorhees Veterinary Center in July of 2020 and am so grateful for the experience I have gained as a technician.

 

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work with animals. I have worked in multiple settings with all kinds of animals, including zoological, wildlife, and farm animals. Some of the different places I’ve volunteered at is the Philadelphia Zoo, Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, and PAWS Farm.

 

Outside of work, I love to draw and paint in my free time and spend time with my friends and family. However, my love of animals doesn’t stop at work. I have 4 pets at home: three cats (Biscuit, Patch, and Mama), one golden retriever (Maya) and one holland lop bunny (Stinky).
