Meet Your TouchStone Team!

Dr. Morgan has volunteered her time and veterinary expertise to numerous causes. She has spoken at countless career days from nursery schools to high schools, served as the on-site vet for dog walks, including MCSPCA, L’Oreal Because Your Dog is Worth it, and Sgt. Denny, and taught first-aid lectures for State Police K9 handlers. Dr. Morgan continues to volunteer for Save US Pets, which provides financial assistance to pets in need.

While working at RBVH, Dr. Morgan also worked at Fanwood Animal Hospital and Marlboro Animal Hospital. In addition, she worked at the Monmouth County SPCA doing surgery for their spay/neuter clinics and other surgeries such as enucleations and amputations for shelter animals.

Over the years, Dr. Morgan thought about owning her own practice. After 23 years at RBVH, she finally committed to making her dream a reality. In 2018, with the help of her husband and family, Dr. Morgan left RBVH to create TouchStone Veterinary Center. Together, they renovated parts of the old hospital themselves to create a brand new space that was calm, clean, and welcoming.

Dr. Morgan has always had a love for big, mushy dogs. She has owned mastiffs for over 25 years. She also has a soft spot for special needs cases and has taken in a bullmastiff with a heart defect, a bulldog with a cleft palate, and most recently, a bulldog with a heart defect.

Dr. Morgan and her husband have 3 daughters and 2 sons. They share their home with a deaf bulldog, an English cream golden retriever, 4 mastiffs, an albino leopard gecko and a bearded dragon.

Dr. Mostowy has always loved learning about and working with animals. After earning her college degree in biology, she worked at Monroe Animal Hospital as a receptionist and assistant. In 2014, she moved up to Ithaca, NY to attend Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.

In August of 2019, she joined us here at TouchStone. Although cats are her absolute favorite furry friends, Dr. Mostowy enjoys seeing a variety of creatures.

Outside of work, Dr. Mostowy enjoys spending time outdoors, eating ice cream, and snuggling with her kitties.

Dr. Russo has always had a passion for animals, spending most of her spare time growing up at the horse barn.

Paige has grown up around animals her entire life. With 8 years of experience in veterinary medicine, animal handling and surgery, Paige is still eager to continue learning and expanding her knowledge. One of Paige's favorite things about working in the veterinary field is being able to build relationships with both owners and their pets. 
​
When not at work, Paige can usually be found working at the sanctuary or riding horses - something she's loved doing ever since she was 5 years old. It's easy to see how much Paige loves being around animals and we're sure she wouldn't want it any other way.

Marielle started volunteering for her local dog rescue at 16 which prompted her passion for working with animals. A few years later, she got her first job as a receptionist in veterinary medicine.

In her spare time, she still volunteers in dog rescue and spends her days off playing with her German Shepherd, Birdie and her Husky-mix, Willie! Marielle’s favorite dogs are German Shepherds, but she will go crazy for any working breed!
