Animal Hospitals near Durham

“My pups have been patients at this practice for over 12 years. I do agree with some comments regarding pricing, however, they have always worked well with me to get appointments and in an emergency have been truly responsive. Dr Kumar has put down 3 of my pups when they no longer had a good quality of life and the experience was nothing but wonderful. Calm, caring, spent time with us and then let us sit with Kayla, Pookie and Yodi as long as we wished. I find the level of expertise on the surgical side is also incredible. A new vet was recently hired who I find to be very Simpatico. For those who don't know Spanish, it does not mean sympathetic. It is a term that has no direct translation into English but basically a nice, warm and caring attitude. My Amstaph is on an NSAID that can cause liver issues do I have to do frequent bloodwork which is great because her levels increased and we had to reduce the dosage so as not to cause severe liver damage. I find the front desk staff lovely. The office manager has been at the practice for two decades and has always been very kind and professional in my dealings.“

“The service was amazing! The staff was professional, kind, and courteous. They proactively helped us with everything we needed and did so with a positive attitude! I highly recommend them.“

“I’ve always had terrific experiences with Dr James and the rest of his team. I’ve had dogs with a variety of medical issues and the consultations are spot-on and thoughtful. I have no reservations recommending this practice to anyone.“

“This veterinary team has been amazing, kind, and compassionate. My dog has struggled with chronic yeast infections for years and we tried everything to help… so many vets… so many meds…Killingworth’s wholistic approach and vast knowledge in various disciplines improved his quality of life ten fold and today we are yeast free.

Today, I called them about my cat. They saw him and only charged me for his antibiotics. They literally gave me their time for free and at the drop of a hat. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found such a wonderful animal hospital, especially one that isn’t trying to push products etc. Thank you for being the best and making the stress of the vet easier.“

“I've been taking my animals here for a long time. Everyone treats my dog like he is their dog. He is always so happy to see his people when he goes there. Our dogs have always received top notch care from all the vets here.“

“The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. I have never experienced an issue with Dr. Foccacia and any urgent issues
that I encountered with my dog he would be seen the same day. I’ve since moved from Berlin to Newington and Silver Lake Animal Hospital will remain my pups go to veterinary care. They were also very comforting when my Shih-poo passed away recently.“
