Ridgehill Animal Hospital

Dr. Pierce is exceptional. I've met many vets throughout my years in the CT Rescue Community and my profession as a canine behavioral trainer. I've met some good ones, I've met some bad ones. However, Dr. Pierce is one of the best. She is both exceptional and passionate about her profession.

My dog, “Puppers-Orion” had the best experience here. The staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful! Dr. Mariano was so knowledgeable, kind, patient and loving. She eased my pup’s anxiety. We definitely recommend Ridgehill! 5+ stars!

My cat Hendrix was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cat cancer near the eyelid. The tumor was intimidating and a couple of animal hospitals were not confortable doing surgery and turned down my cat’s case. Ridgehill Animal Hospital went above and beyond and accommodated my cat’s surgery. I received updates from the staff and they answered all my questions throughout this process. Dr Dileone did a fantastic job. The entire tumor was removed and the eyelid was saved. Before and After pictures attached. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to owner Dr Adnar Cosar, Manager Dyan Tomlinson and all the wonderful staff at Ridgehill for saving my cat’s life. I can attest to their compassion and kindness to animals.

I can't say thank you enough. This place was more than just a vet to us. We are glad that we found them and switched after he got sick. When my husband and I moved to New Haven, people we knew recommended Veterinary Wellness Center. I didn't know that there would be difference between Wellness Center and a hospital. (Please take your pet to a hospital not a wellness center.) It was fine until my dog started to pee brown/reddish color during covid in August 2021. My dog was a senior dog. We called the vet and they said it was dangerous for him, but they couldn't make an appointment for us because it was booked. They told us to go to Emergency Vet. I went to any other vets I could see and showed the picture of his pee color. They said the same thing. We had no choice. We took him to the emergency place. It was horrible. We had to wait hours and hours in the car. They took my dog and we got a phone call later. They said he had a tumor on his abdomen. They told us to do Ultrasound. It was a weekend. They didn't have anybody to do ultrasound. They just discharged us and told us to talk to our vet. We called the vet next day to schedule ultrasound. The vet and the emergency place miscommunicated and lost that 24 hours time-line for the emergency place. The wellness center had a person who did ultrasound once a week and had to wait till Thursday. We called the emergency place. They were like "It has been more than 24 hours since he got discharged. We consider you as a new customer, so you have to wait in lines again." We called the place. We left the message for the voice mail, they called us back to schedule. If we didn't answer the phone, we had to wait again.. We ended up doing ultrasound at there and found out my dog had a tumor on his spleen. They said it could rupture any time and kill my dog. The emergency place didn't even care that he could die any time. They said there were lots of operations scheduled before me. They couldn't do the surgery. Wellness center was not doing that, either. We were devastated. We asked our friends if they knew any good vet. My friend referred me Ridgehill Animal Hospital. We called them. The owner "Adnan" got the message that my dog's critical situation. He took our dog asap. My dog got the surgery with Dr. Dileone. After the surgery, we waited and found out that his tumor was not cancerous. My dog Koko got so much better and healthy so quickly after the surgery. Vet technicians and receptionist Katie (If I remember correct) took care of my baby like their own dogs. We love them so we decided to switch our vet! Koko was good with them. He just started to have accidents and drank lots of water about a month ago. We thought he was getting UTI and took him to the vet. We found that he was diabetes. His body was already using Ketones. He was fine on his first week. He was getting sick quickly because of DKA and etc... Wish we could have found that he was diabetes earlier. His organs - especially liver were failing... Koko was getting sick and weak quickly because he started to get picky and didn't want to eat with things going on for him. We were so worried. Whenever we called Ridgehill, they always made time for him. Dr. Moruzzi, Pierce, Dileone, the owner Adnan again, vet technicians Beth, Mary, Steven, and receptionist Katie, Beth, Stacey, and Emily... (I might have missed some names.) They listened to us, communicated with us so well, and cared for my first fur baby Koko! They did their best to treat him to make better and made him again with us. They cared so much for him in so many ways. Koko's time was coming. They earned extra time for us and Koko to get his last energy so we could say good-bye to him. We could be with Koko on his last moment at home. It hurts that he is not here with us any more.. but Ridgehill was the best vet we could have found for Koko. They gave us extra time since his last surgery. We could have extra 2 years and few months because of Ridgehill. We miss him. If we get a dog again while we live here, we will definitely take our dog to Ridgehill again!

Dr. Delione saved my dogs life. I'm so happy I got a second opinion on a much needed surgery and treatment. Come to find out sepsis was already moving through my pups system by the time she got to surgery. She was treated just in the nick of time. The staff is awesome, super nice and professional. I felt comfortable every step of the way. I'm very happy I changed my vet to Ridgehill.
