Dr. Sulner earned her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. Since graduating from veterinary school, she has done both General and Emergency medicine at veterinary practices throughout North and Central NJ before opening up Happy Pets Veterinary Hospital, Inc. with her husband.
Dr. Sulner lives in Central New Jersey with her husband Robert, daughter Emma, son Ethan, three cats: Aboo, Mr. Jinx, Rocket and three dogs: Rufus, Buster, and Happy. She enjoys spending time with the family, scuba diving, visiting Disney and getting away to the beautiful Carribean Islands whenever she has the chance.
Inspired by the exceptional level of veterinary care and quality of specialty training in the United States, Dr. Staiger pursued surgical specialization at Michigan State University after graduating from the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany in 2004.
After an Internship in General Medicine and Surgery, he completed a Residency in Small Animal Surgery, a Surgery Specialty Fellowship, and a Fellowship in Interventional Radiology (IR).
“There has been a paradigm shift in the way we approach many aspects of surgery in modern veterinary medicine. Minimally invasive options are rapidly expanding our treatment repertoire and I feel privileged to be part of a group of specialists that have the ability to enhance each individual patient’s capacity to heal and recover by decreasing the invasiveness of our interventions”
After moving to New Jersey in 2011, he pioneered the IR Service at NorthStar VETS and established the surgery service at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Hillsborough. In 2014 he founded Princeton Veterinary Specialists, a company that provides specialty surgery and care to select practices in New Jersey.
“I’m excited about the opportunity of bringing advanced surgery and minimally invasive interventions directly to XYZ. Procedures that have traditionally been reserved for specialty centers and academia only, are now available at your veterinarian’s office.”
