We just moved to Hillsboro and brought our cat to Dr. Marcus for his annual checkup. He took to her immediately and they had the best visit we can remember (and he's 9). She was comforting, thorough and took her time.

Everyone I met at this office was so sweet and freindly. my cat, who usually panics around anyone unknown, was so calm. The entire experience was great! They gave us a diagnosis and medication in a very timely fashion. I was very impressed. I'm happy we found our new Veterinary home!

Thank you to all the wonderful staff, technicians and veterinarians who took care of our Bella in her final two years of life. We adopted her when she was 11, and were able to give her three happy retirement years. Special thanks to Dr Katie Marcus, who took care of Bella's teeth, and to Dr Jill Palmer who took care of Bella, in her last hours, with such kindness and compassion. Cheers to the Littles and their Giant personalities! RIP Bella Boo (Jan 2007-Nov 2020)

My husband and I have used Frontier for approximate 10-12 years. First 2 cats were Gracie and Mikey and now we have BoBo and Purrcy. Frontier staff have always been helpful and kind and very gentle with our fur babies. They comforted us when it was time for Gracie and Mikey to say goodbye and are now partners in helping us give the best care to BoBo and Purrcy. We could not ask for better Vets.

We have been taking our dog to Frontier Veterinary Hospital for several years. Every time our dog has an appointment, the staff is always very professional, welcoming, and accommodating. We are confident our dog is receiving the very best in veterinary care. We couldn't be happier.

My partner and I are new puppy owners, and we brought her into Frontier Veterinary Hospital after recommendations from family friends. I was so impressed! Check-in was easy, and the sectioned off "waiting rooms" are awesome. Loved being able to pay on the spot in the exam room, too! There's even an exit door on the side of the building so you don't have to pass by other patients in the lobby. Dr. Sheryl was knowledgeable, helpful, and great with our little one.
She didn't force (immunizations, medications, etc.) anything onto us which was so appreciated. She discussed different options with us and was more than happy to answer any questions we had. So happy we chose Frontier for our puppy's care!
