I can't express how happy I was with my experience here. There are no animal hospitals near me that take care of Green Tree Pythons and the entire staff was incredibly kind, empathetic and calm. A special thank you to Angela and Dr. Sinclair, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such great care of my little Butters and accommodating him so quickly. I highly recommend Haw Creek!

Was a great place to take my dog. The staff from the receptionist, to the vet tech, to the doctor that actually took care of my dog, they were all awesome and acted like it was their own dog. What a great place. Dr. Heather Sinclair was awesome in how she treated my animal. Very practical in her application, and allowed me to have input. This time, the high reviews that I looked into before going there were correct! I have to thank my neighborhood for suggesting this place. As you can see in the pics, I have a very happy camper for a dog.

My dog started having multiple issues, of gagging, gasping and spasming. It was 6:30 PM and, of course, her vet was closed. Haw Creek fit us in and was so reassuring to an on the edge dog mom. Thankfully, the problem was resolved fairly quickly. I am grateful for Haw Crerk and their caring way for both of us.

I love Dr. Sinclair, Dr. Feiler, and Dr. Holden. They cared for my old girl Hannah (with the boots) for the last 2 years of her life. We tried everything to ease her arthritis pain and they even recommended several holistic approaches. All the vets there have always been so kind and caring and attentive. The wait times can be a little long but it's totally worth it to get the personalized care we've received for so long. I will always take my dogs to them. I highly highly highly recommend them. I can't possibly say enough good things.

This was not my usual vet. My dog got sick on a Saturday and I took him in on a Sunday because they had an opening. I spent around $600 and they told me that he had a bladder infection and some inflammation of his Kidneys. They gave him antibiotics and nausea medicine and sent him home. He didn’t do well over the next couple of days, so I called… them that night and asked to bring him in the next morning. I came in the next morning and sat on the couch and cried for an hour asking to be seen like I was promised the night before. They told me they were too busy, even though they were

We were visiting from Florida and needed attention for our pup, not what you want when so far from home. Dr. Nelson was wonderful! Staff treated us well and got us into a room quickly. There was of course a wait, but it was a Sunday afternoon and we have no history with this veterinarian. Considering the circumstance, excellent experience!

Our dog had a mass bust open on her leg. We took her to hawcreek on Friday, 10/15/2021. The clinical came in the room and took our dog to one of their back offices. We could hear the doctor from outside saying “oh wow that’s not good”. A minute later the doctor came into our room and told us our dog had cancer and it needed to be removed ASAP. That… was really the only explanation we got, nothing that we should expect, what this meant for our dogs life, nothing. We didn’t see the doctor again after that. The clinical brought in medicine, nothing was explained about
