The staff and veterinarians at Hillcrest Animal Hospital truly care about our pups. They always listen to my concerns, take them seriously, and follow up with excellent explanations. We appreciate all Dr. Razor has done for our sweet babies, Charles and Sophie. The dental care team have also been excellent, though, I'm sorry, I do not remember their names. Thank you for all you do!

Friendly front office, I love Dr. Razer. She is so good with my pets. The only reason I would give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that they seem a bit pricey at times but we have been there so long now that I wouldn't want to change and I know that they care for my babies. I would definitely recommend.

Dr. Clark and the whole staff from the front desk to the vet techs are amazing. They have always taken such good, diligent care of my fur babies from routine care to delicate operations! I wouldn't trust anyone else with our pups, they love and care for them as their own. Couldn't recommend more.

I had a great experience with the staff and Dr. Pennington! I was able to schedule online, was seen promptly with my two sphynx cats at our appointment time, and the charges seemed very appropriate! Appreciate their service!

This was tinge best bet experience I've had thus far! This was my dog Darby and I came for our initial visit after a long, long battle with ear infections. She has been being treated for the past 2 years but we have never been to Hillcrest until now! I felt so seen and heard and very confident in their care! I feel like my dog is in really good hands

Did not get a clear diagnosis, shotgun treatment and for all this a bill for 500 dollars. For that price I expect the right diagnosis and appropriate. The staff and Vet were friendly and otherwise no complaints but the one I present is major.
