Dr. Sima earned his bachelor's degree in animal bioscience from Pennsylvania State University and his Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. He is a member of the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. His professional interests include surgery, emergency medicine, and dentistry.

Dr. Rovere is a graduate of Bucknell University.  She received a BS in chemistry with a minor in biology.  She went to further her education in chemistry and math at Temple University School of Pharmacy.  She enjoys compounding medications and monitoring patient drug profiles.  While working as a Pharmacist she realized she was devoting more time to counseling her animal patients than her human ones which led her to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine.  Dr. Rovere worked at Hospital of University of Pennsylvania Pharmacy supporting herself throughout her vet school years.  In May of 1992 she received her VMD from the University of Pennsylvania.  After working for a year in Absecon Veterinary Hospital she realized she had a passion for surgery and furthered her education as an intern at The Animal Medical Center in New York City.  Here she gained much experience with surgery, exotics and emergency medicine.  When one door closes another opens and while not attaining her dream as a Board Certified Surgeon, she was able to obtain a job as an emergency clinician at Garden State Veterinary Specialists.  Dr. Rovere still enjoys working at Garden State with the interns once a week and marvels at the growth that occurs within young veterinarians in a year.
