Veterinarians in Hickory

“We met Dr. Heath 8ish years ago and very much appreciates her VET knowledge as she has taken great care of our English BulldogS (6) n now an Aussie Doodle has joined the pack with a great personality to boot. WIN WIN“

“Dr. Bill diagnosed my dog within two months of me switching him from viewmont animal hospital. At Viewmont they wouldn't listen when I told them I thought he had Cushing's disease. For two years I had him there for not sleeping through the night, accidents in the house, chugging water, and getting sores all over him. Dr. Bill listens. She really goes above and beyond and her staff is just as amazing. They treat you like family.“

“We grew up and started our family in the area. I joined the military and we moved away for a few years and now we are back local. Our usual vet was Dr. Hill, the 1st one all the way through the younger one. We had good relationships with all of them and their employees. Upon returning, we weren’t welcomed kindly at all and decided things obviously have changed there and did not want to deal with that.

We searched and called this Vet. The staff on the phone was quick to get us an appointment which is really what we needed, quickness. The dogs needed to get a full check up with a new vet since moving.

When I arrived at the appointment the front desk staff was really just plain rude and unnecessarily short and left me guessing if I needed to sit down? Stay there? Answer questions? Where did I pay when I was done because no one said anything? etc.

The vet (Dr. Gruber) and our Vet Tech (Jessie) were great to work with. I really enjoyed them and I feel they were absolutely incredible with Max. I couldn’t be happier with that level of care. They really gave him a good once over which is what he needed.

Pricing was fair considering the amount of care Max needed. Time in and out was great, no wait (other than at the counter wondering what to do, where to go, and who to talk to).

I’m willing to put up with a little “uncalled-for sass”, if the vet is good with my dogs. I'll consider staying for now because of that. I hope they read this and make some changes with the people up front such as training, “encounter reviews” on the cameras, etc.

Thank you for your time.“

“I brought my very sick Syrian hamster Minnie to be seen. They diagnosed her very quickly and unfortunately she had to be euthanized. I was treated with nothing but genuine kindness and compassion, and so was she. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during such a hard time. And they made such a beautiful clay mold of her paws. I highly recommend All Hearts if you need your hamster to be seen.“

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! THE FRONT DESK GIRLS ARE BEYOND BENEVOLENT AND PERSONABLE! THEY ARE GENUINELY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! THE VET AND ASSISTANT ARE AWESOME! WITH ALL VERACITY, THIS IS THE BEST VET HOSPITAL I HAVE BEEN TO IN MY LIFE! THEY HAVE SO MUCH COMPASSION AND GENUINE LOVE FOR ANIMALS! THEY LOVE WHAT THEY DO, AND IT SHOWS! I LOVE THESE PEOPLE CAUSE THEY LOVE ANIMALS! AND THEY GENUINELY CARE! I CANT SAY ENOUGH! THANK YOU GUYS A MILLION TIMES OVER FROM MY HEART!

“Blue Skies Veterinary has knowledgeable, thoughtful, and compassionate staff. Dr Wuest is the Best Vet around. He is concerned for the pet and for you. At Blue Skies, your pet's examination and most treatments are performed in the same room. I really like and prefer this method. They will give you all the options for treatments / sometimes surgeries, but they do not pressure you. Blue Skies is definitely the Preferred Veterinary Hospital in Catawba and surrounding counties!“

“I truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for Mountain View Animal Hospital. They stepped in and helped my dog, Sampson, when another vet office originally did nothing for him. As a pet owner, that feeling of not knowing what to do or who will help is heartbreaking — and they changed that for us.

The doctor was incredibly patient, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He didn’t rush us. He took the time to really examine Sampson, explain everything clearly, and answer all of my questions. You can tell this isn’t just a job to him — he genuinely cares about the animals and the families who love them.

Shadow, the vet tech, was so kind and gentle with Sampson. She made him feel safe, and she made me feel heard. In a stressful situation, her warmth meant more than she probably realizes. The front desk receptionist was also so welcoming and caring from the moment we walked in.

When your dog is hurting, it’s emotional and scary. This team treated Sampson like he mattered — and that means everything to me. I’m beyond thankful for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed us. I wouldn’t trust my dog anywhere else.“

“Very satisfied. Great explanation of my pet’s issues. Great treatment at a fair price. Thank you Dr Hill. Charlie doing much better today.“

“This was my first visit here with my pup Rauphie and I am very glad I chose SRAH for his veterinarian services. They are very friendly and courteous. Dr. Barkley was very nice and informative about preventative care for my pup and possible future procedures. I Will definitely recommend to all my pet parent friends. Dr Barkley will remain my Rauphie's Veterinarian. ?“

“first off, you have to park and let them take your animal inside to be seen. due to "covid".“
