I used to live in NJ and honestly if I had a major problem with one of my pups, I would most likely to to the U of P. They are only a couple of hours from you!

Penn is wonderful!

Often vet schools are much less than private practice vets.

Chances are you will end up with a specialist and all the money you spend on tests up until then will be wasted as they all repeat their own tests.
