We found Hayfield under the unfortunate circumstance of having to put our old girl down. During a pandemic, they made sure we were able to be with her in her final minutes and sent a sweet card with her ashes that contained her sweet nose print. Since, we've taken our dogs nowhere else. We love that the staff listens to us about our concerns, sometimes even offering advice over the phone before asking us to come in. They really are a gem location!

This place was great 12 months ago, and then quickly went down hill. I have a laundry list of poor service, but here are my main 3.
First, you cannot get through to them without calling a half dozen times. If you dont allow people inside and they have to call when they arrive, plus people calling for other services, maybe train your reception to answer and put people on hold. Second, Dr. Segal was fantastic, then she suddenly left ( along with 3 other vets I was told) and now I think they are way understaffed or the remaining vets do not know what is going on. My German Shepard was recommended

Although the Doctors are great, I would recommend staying away from this hospital since it has a terrible customer service and vet assistant team. They are impatient, unprofessional, rude and really treated you like you were an inconvenience. This was the first place I went to with my new adopted puppy and they would really disregard all of my concerns, they were impersonal and made me concerned of how my puppy was being treated inside during tech visits. I did not feel supported nor cared for in this facility. I would recommend going elsewhere as will I from now on.

My Yukon goes here and they take great care of him. I personally love the curbside pick up and drop off, being a mom of 4. The vet calls be during eat visit and explains everything and answers all my questions. I highly recommend them!

This is a great place to take your pet for normal care. Dr. Embree has been amazing! She cared for my cat through the end of her life and my current two cats for years. Unfortunately, this week when one of my cats was facing the end of her life miscommunication in the office had me facing this tough decision at an emergency vet. I found the staff (not the actual Dr.) to be rather uncaring. I will be finding another practice - although if Dr. Embree were to move I would follow her.

Dr. Marciano is fantastic. I appreciate that she answers all of my thousands of (silly) questions thoroughly and honestly. I never feel like I'm being encouraged to do anything just for monetary reasons. It's obvious that she really enjoys what she does and cares about her patients. Their front office staff is also very kind and responsive. I've emailed a couple of times and they always respond really quickly. I'd definitely recommend this vet to anyone in the area.
