I have been going to Hillside and Dr. Rosanke as long as I can remember. I have tried other closer veterinarian offices, but ended up back here because of the care and compassion. Gayle, the vet tech, has been with him as long as I can remember also, and she is top notch too! I highly recommend this team and the drive is worth it!! Read Less

I have been taking my pets here for 12 years. Cats & Dogs. The quality of care and compassion is unsurpassed. In those 12 years I have lost 4 cats and 1 dog and the staff at Hillside and especially Dr. Counsel was so supportive. I moved and have to travel farther to get there but I will never take my pets to another Vet. If your pets are family members like ours, you should take them to Hillside! Read Less

This is the best clinic and staff I have ever experienced in veterinary care. They have always gone above and beyond for my dogs, and the level of care they provide for your animal is unparalleled.

I have become thoroughly disappointed with Hillside because they have become a money mill instead of a compassionate and caring facility. I have a very sick dog that requires medication. Two months ago they demanded that I bring in my dog for blood work before providing his prescription and I complied with that request. Now less that three months later they are demanding another checkup and fee before prescribing the required medication. In essence hold my dog's medication hostage in order to get another visit and more money. Very disappointed. Taking my sick dog elsewhere. Read Less

My cats and I have lived all over the country and been to many vets in many states. In my 20 years of being a cat Mom, Hillside Animal Hospital has, without question, been the best. The environment is peaceful and comforting - it feels good just walking in the door for both my cats and me. The staff are courteous, compassionate and attentive. My cats have been seeing Dr. Council, and they LOVE her! It's amazing to watch how gently and skillfully she handles them. She takes her time connecting with and examining them, thoroughly explaining things, and answering my questions. We moved away from Scottsdale two years ago, but we still take our cat to Hillside Animal Hospital despite the long drive, because they are simply the best and well worth the long drive! Read Less

The staff and doctors are nice and compassionate but some of the doctors are young and does not have enough experience dealing with complicated situations. My cat end up dead after these guys could not figure out asthma in her, which my wife were saying ( she is a doctor) but they come up with all the diagnosis except the right one. I do not have anything against them personally, It seems like we were defeated at very stage and banging our head against the wall. This place may be good for minor stuff but not for complicated situations, please look everywhere before....... Read Less

The staff is friendly and helpful. The facility is clean. I choose it because it was near to our house when we first moved into town, loved it so much that we kept them on even after we moved. Their very well versed in what they do, no matter the position of the staffer. From the front desk to the assistant that greets and weighs (etc) to the Dr. We were never disappointed. In every pets life comes that 'time' when you need to make the decision, because of their age or medical condition. They are great at that experience. I've done it a number of times in my life and my experience here for that sad time was as good as it gets. Read Less

From the moment I walked in the door, I felt at ease. Courtney greeted me and was cheerful and professional.
Coco and I were greeted next by Matthew. Immediately you feel comfortable with Matt. He is very clear in the way he explains things to you. His genuine concern for both the animal the owner translates in his every word.
Dr. Rosonke, immediately struck this great balance between casual talk and the task at hand. It helped ensure we were relating at a comfortable level. He maintained a professional demeanor, but made me feel at ease. He analyzed the situation, made appropriate recommendations and developed a workable solution.
After Dr Rosonke left, Matt made sure I understood what we learned on that visit, next steps and how to best help Coco. I left more educated and confident in her care.
The last participant in my Hillside adventure was Nikki (I think?). As with everyone, cheerful, professional and friendly.
Start to finish my experience was first class.
