58 Route 173 West Hampton, NJ 08827 Telephone: 908-735-7213    Meet the Team Dr. Felecia Niebojeski, D.V.M., Practice Owner Born and raised in Jersey City, Dr. Fil (as her clients call her) went to Wells College, in Aurora, NY, where she obtained a BA in biology and graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1975. She received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University, in W. Lafayette, Indiana in 1979, and was a member of Phi Zeta, the veterinary honor society. She knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since the age of 12, and is thankful every day for the opportunity to live her life's dream. Dr. Fil has been married since 1983 to Doug Perschbacher, an engineer and former owner of Clinton Landscape Design. He designed and built the stone walls that line the driveway and parking area, and is responsible for planting the flowers and trees that add so much beauty to the exterior of the building. He is also our resident handyman -- the staff often has a to-do list for him that they dubbed "Mr. Doug's List". They live in the woods of Alexandria Township with their two dogs Tori and Faith. They enjoy travel, especially to St John, Virgin Islands, as well as exotic locations -- for Dr. Fil's 50th birthday, they took a trip to Botswana, Africa -- truly a dream come true. Look for pictures of her trip around the office. They also enjoy fine food, music and theater. Oh -- and Dr. Fil loves to shop -- especially for shoes! They live in the woods of Alexandria Township with their two dogs Tori and Faith.

Dr. Bill graduated in 1996, receiving his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University.  He worked with Dr. Niebojeski as a technician when he was a teenager.  Initially, an aspiring human surgeon, he changed his goals to be a veterinarian because working with patients that cannot verbalize their problems offered a diagnostic challenge that was incredibly rewarding.  Currently, his areas of interest include Veterinary Dentistry, Wound Treatment, and Reconstructive (A.K.A. “Plastic”) Surgery. “I have come full circle, being able to work as a peer with my initial mentor, Dr. Niebojeski." Dr. Bill has four “kids” -- Trevor, a pitbull who was adopted from a shelter, and three handicapped cats, Caoineac (no tail), Eigon (only has one eye),  and Roary (had a congenital intestinal problem that Dr. Bill fixed surgically).   Michele, Office Manager Michele has returned to the animal hospital after taking a few years off to raise a family.
