I took my rescue bully mix here on recommendations from tons of people. I am left horribly disappointed with lifelong behavior and anxiety issues for my poor friend. During our last visit to check out some acne on his chin and his ears, the vet asked if my dog could have a treat. Assuming she meant at an appropriate time, I agreed. Not only did she give him a rawhide which I don't agree with, but she tried to take it from his mouth moments later. We found out that my rescue dog is aggressive over high value treats. The real problem began when she stacked his triggers by bending down immediately

The folks here are so nice and really committed to taking care of animals. They did an excellent job of ensuring my cat didn't get stressed out. Easiest vet visit of her life!

Back in June we visited here for the first time. Based on reviews it seemed like this was a great place to go... boy was I wrong. The room we were put in looked and smelled like it has not been cleaned. Within 30 seconds of the Vet entering the room she made comments that my dogs teeth would need to be removed, which is not true, did not introduce herself to me and went right up to my dog and started feeling all over her not making sure she was comfortable with her or anything even though this was our first time. I had explained my dogs anxiety of other people and being separated and that this

The staff was extremely nice, helpful and attentive before the pandemic. Last year I took my cats in for an exam, obviously they were still having us wait in the car while they took our pets in. When they finally took my cats in after about an hour, they called me multiple times from inside to repeatedly ask me what shots my cats needed. They both needed routine vaccines. They asked me so many times what each cat needed that I am not sure they both received what I asked for, and my bill did not reflect what I asked for. Someone called me the next day to apologize and said if I wanted to visit

Now that we've found Hilton, our pups are not stressed about going to the vet! All of the staff are amazing, and treat our buds with the same care + patience every time we're there. One of our dogs has terrible anxiety about pretty much everything, but has no problem leaving our side once we're at the office. (Our special needs guy is head over paws for Kelly!) They listen to every concern and have never forced our dogs into situations that would produce extra anxiety - even if it means a nail trim takes an extra 20 minutes. We've been going here for 3 years and will continue to do so for all of
