I called because I'm new to the area and have a 20 year old cat who isn't doing well. I wanted to price local vets and see who could help. They seemed affronted when I asked how much they charged to put a cat to sleep when it was needed, left me on hold for 10 minutes then told me I'd have to bring her in and do a full workup of tests before they'd discuss it. I'm not willing to put her through that misery nor spend all my money on tests when she's 20 years old and just old. The complete unwillingness to help me take care of my baby says everything I need to know about this place.

I don't like that they won't treat; vaccinations, exams, etc. in the exam room! Why take the dog away from the owner? Just causes more stress on the animal. Other than that, my animals have received good care here.

We have been going to SRVC since we moved back to Arkansas Feb 2021. We initially saw Dr Campbell who was very nice and detailed. Baxter had his annual check up there and shots initially. After a recent emergency trip, Dr Martin was able to get my toy poodle, Baxter, seen asap. While they were monitoring him to determine if surgery would be necessary, Dr Martin went above and beyond to communicate with me and provide detailed updates.

I trust Dr Martin 100%! We unfortunately did have to have surgery but everything went as well as possible. I received updates immediately and the evening following. I'm thankful for SRVC and the entire staff for being amazing, so caring, and communicating so well. 12/10 would recommend especially if something emergent is needed.

After Dr. Erikson retired from Hillcrest, I was worried about who I would find to take care of my babies. Everyone at SRVC has stepped up and been wonderful. I trust them completely with the health of my aging cat. They also were so kind and compassionate when we had to say goodbye to our dog and one of our cats. I can't wait to introduce them to the new boy we are adopting soon.
