They took amazing care of my dog, Joey when he got neutered last week. All of the staff are friendly and answer any and all questions. They care about your furry friends like their own. I would not take my little boy anywhere else. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur families

The staff and techs are always friendly and kind. They love your pet like you do and care for them in that way. We see Dr. Polluck and he is fantastic. He's kind and gentle with our pups and thorough with their checkups.

The best vet clinic in Morgantown. I'd been to many of them with my dog, and nobody ever told me has a heart murmur. Hillcrest noticed right away in our first visit. Their care is much more thorough than other vets we've been to. Our surgery was also several hundred dollars cheaper than the estimate from another vet. The surgery was risky but my 14 year old dog came out good as new : thank you Hillcrest!

Very friendly, caring, and affectionate towards animals. They show the same care towards the human owners too. They are great at answering questions and relieving any fears you may have. Easy to schedule with.

Came today with my fur-baby as a first-time appointment. Everything was clean and managed well. I had to wear a mask [eyeroll] but they did have FTF interaction with the appointment and staff -- some of the other area veterinarians were not allowing in-person appointments. The tech and Dr. Kennedy were SPECTACULAR. They were professional and compassionate; you could tell that they really like animals and providing quality care. Appointment fees were reasonable, and they offered an app for follow up and communication. Overall, I highly recommend Hillcrest for the personal care and service I experienced today.
