Hillside Veterinary Clinic

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hillside Veterinary Clinic exemplifies best practices in emergency and inpatient veterinary care. From the moment we arrived, the team was thorough, compassionate, and deeply professional. The admitting veterinarian communicated clearly and honestly about the seriousness of Mae’s condition, while also treating both Mae and me with kindness and respect. I was given time with her, access to the hospital area, and consistent reassurance that she was being carefully monitored. What stood out most was the clinic’s diligence and transparency. The doctors consulted with ASPCA Animal Poison Control throughout Mae’s treatment, explained lab values and treatment decisions in plain language, and kept me updated regularly. I was welcomed to visit Mae daily and even allowed extended time with her in her kennel — a level of humanity that mattered enormously during a very scary situation. The veterinary technicians were exceptional: attentive, gentle, communicative, and clearly invested in the animals in their care. When Mae was discharged, her recovery was stable and well-supported, and at her follow-up visit she was genuinely excited to see the staff again — which says everything. If you are looking for a clinic that combines medical rigor, collaboration with specialists, clear communication, and genuine compassion, Hillside sets the standard. We are profoundly grateful to them for saving Mae.

There are vets, great ones, and then there's ones that, and I hope they see this, now are my people. I'm here if you need a vigilante or something for an evil customer. Y'all are so o rare: Good Humans. The best. We've been taking our animals to hillside for years. They were amazing when my dog breeds have died. We couldn't bury him, he's too big and the rocky ground and all, so they said to come over as soon as we were ready & they'd cremate him. He was. 100+ lbs and my mom and I were sobbing still, so. Uselessly, but 3 nurses together came up with a way to carry him and they sheet we used to wrap him and carry him with inside, even though he.. this mouth was still leaking Liquids and we didn't want them getting biohazards in them, but they didn't worry about it, just carried him in slow and careful. The male nurse talked to Brandon softly while they did and told him he's a good boy, that his family love him, that he's somewhere safe. I almost threw up crying at that. And now, just less than 3 weeks ago, our only other dog Jasmine, about 90 years old now & due to a patuatary gland tumor, super overweight; she was a terrier mix, her belly was almost touching the floor. And she has clearly been in pain more and more recently. That day was it and.... I didn't know my mom was taking her. Didn't know till 6 hours after she'd died. But I had heard you cry out that morning, and I thought about going to bed early and see if she was okay.... And I didn't. I didn't and I didn't get to say by or even tell her shenwas good dog. But today my sister found a letter our mom had opened but didn't show us yet cause.... Crying, and that's what the result was. Those wonderful humans all, all of them, they hand wrote to us in a card about Jazzy. And I finally can cry about her (can't stop tbh). You won't find a better vet, or nurses, for your animals. Thank you Dr. Aronon, Dr. Tiedman, Kacie, Lily, Sarah, Claire, Breanna, and Kelsie. I hope you all outlive me in good health and I wish I could give y'all something to say thanks - for this, for my Branson, for letting Jazzy go painlessly. You're all a credit to vets and nurses everywhere.

We’ve been using hillside vet for years. Started with just using the vaccine clinic they had on Sundays and then we eventually started using them for annual/urgent vet visits. We have had nothing but great experiences. About a week ago, we had to put our sweet 17 year old Loki to rest. It was the first time we had ever been through this. Hillside staff was so kind and patient with us while we said our goodbyes, but most importantly- they made Loki comfortable. I was impressed with the whole experience given it was one of the more difficult things we had been through. I highly recommend them!

I have been bringing my 14-year-old Pug mix here for ear cleanings, but the experience has been consistently disappointing. The staff will not provide a simple ear cleaning unless you schedule a full doctor visit, and when questioned, their attitude is dismissive and unhelpful. On my most recent visit, the doctor there confirmed that my dog only requires regular cleanings because her ear canal is prone to mold -- yet the staff continues to insist on unnecessary appointments. This approach feels more focused on generating revenue than on providing appropriate care. Pet owners should be aware of this before choosing this clinic.

We absolutely love Hillside Veterinary Clinic, especially Dr. Frankfurt! We’ve been long-time clients, and they have always been incredible with our pets, two pugs and a cat. Dr. Frankfurt is amazing and super thorough with our check-ups. The entire staff is always friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, which makes every visit a positive experience. We always feel confident knowing our pets receive the most dependable and compassionate care whenever we need it. Thank you so much for your great care and we highly recommend!
