The ladies at this clinic are so knowledgeable and kind. My senior citizen kitten has been having problems for a while, and everyone we had interaction with on our visit was very accommodating, you can tell they care about the pets they see. It's not overly loud and hectic like a lot of clinics I've been to, which was nice for her stress levels (she's seizure prone), and now that's she's on full time medication, the call-in service and drive up window are a convenience I didn't even realize I needed. Once we move closer, all the rest of our cats will be making the transition over to Hillcrest,

The vets are really great but lately the vet assistants haven’t been that great. One got an attitude with me and also gave my toothless cat hard treats while they were trying to take her temperature which resulted in her trying to chase them around. Another one had no idea what she was doing when she gave one of my cats liquid medicine. Hopefully they will get some better qualified help soon.

I came here after a bad experience with another vet. The vet here made me feel confident in the change. The initial visit price was the same as what I was told over the phone. I do wish surgical procedures had some sort of discount but they accept care credit which is nice. My cat loved her and I found out what was truly wrong with her and that’s what is important to me!

The entire staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to set up an appointment right away to examine my dog. He needed a surgery and they got him scheduled right away. They were patient and very kind. The doctor called me to let me know the surgery went well and discussed the post op care with me. I appreciate them taking such good care of my dog.

Doctor and staff were friendly enough. Went in to get my two kitties up to date on their shots and address an eye infection. It was going to cost $600+ dollars to have it all done, no problem. HOWEVER, we waited 45 minutes after our appointment time for the doctor to actually come in. We waited for 30 minutes once in the exam room after the nurse got vitals for the actual doc to come in, then she spent 5 minutes with us and was gone. I refused any services/tests beyond treatment for the eye infection. Will not spend $600 at a place that shows zero respect for their patients’ time.

Well they used to be one of the best places to take your pet; unfortunately, times have changed and so have they. My wife and I scheduled an appointment for two of our cats. They decided they are too high strung to be seen without being sedated. They sold us medicine to sedate them but it was making them sick my wife tried to explain it to them but they got an attitude with her and hung up the phone…….Really? Ok then good bye and good riddance

Dr. Elswick at Hillcrest genuinely cares about your animal. Period. I recently found out my dog has kidney disease and she has spent 20 minutes at a time on the phone with me explaining everything in detail and answering all of my questions. They try to make the vet appointment experience as positive for you and your dog as they can. The staff is always friendly at check in and the waiting area and rooms are always clean and well cared for. My baby may not love the vet, but I sure do!

We are new to the area, and feel so fortunate to have found Hillcrest Animal Hospital. The facility itself is well organized and very nice, and all of the staff are wonderful! …friendly and helpful, professional, knowledgeable and so compassionate. Thanks so much for the excellent care you have given our sweet boy Cooper!
