Animal Hospital Of Rocky Hill

Our experience was pretty good. Our arrival though could have been better. Our dog ate chocolate late one night and he wasn’t handling it well in his belly. We brought our pup to the emergency vet hospital in rocky hill around midnight. The nurse who let us in didn’t have the best bedside manner. She kind of rushed us and acted as though our visit was an inconvenience. We weren’t informed about being seen by the vet, she took our paperwork and just walked into the back, without saying a word. We waited about 10-15 minutes before she came to bring us to an exam room. The vet was VERY friendly and knowledgeable, and seemed like he cared about our pup. He gave his recommendation in laymen’s terms so we felt comfortable and at ease with the situation. That nurse that greeted us was VERY pleasant in the end upon our exit. She was sweet and explained everything to us. I’m not sure what her deal was in the beginning, but she turned it around and was helpful! Read Less

I have been going to Dr David Haviar since early 1980's. All of my dogs have been treated over the years by either David, Jason or Kristin. They've treated each of my dogs with excellent care and sensitivity during annual visits, emergencies, and serious illnesses. Most recently, I called for my dog who had an eye issue. I was able to get an appointment that day. I recommend them to everyone who has an animal who needs excellent care and attention. Read Less

Our neighbors have always highly recommended Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill. After several years with a previous veterinarian we finally decided to switch. I have two dogs and it’s easier for me to bring them separately. I thought it was so nice that the office staff made sure both dogs would be seen by the same doctor so a history can be developed with both the dogs and the owner. Dr. Tatro was great as were the assistants. Office staff were extremely kind, helpful and friendly. Overall a very nice experience. Read Less

Becky the no body is a horrible person, and the level of care here is unfathomably horrible! My puppy was here for an hour before she passed away! I would not bring anything here! Disgusting service! I am so beyond disgusted with this place! Read Less

Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill is the best vet I have ever used in more than 30 years of owning dogs. Everyone cares as much about my dogs as I do. My Springer Spaniel Angel just spent a week there after complications from a pregnancy of 14 pups. Not only did Dr Jason Haviar save 13 of the 14 pups but Doc and Dr Jason saved Angel’s life. I don’t think I have cried so much in one week in a long time. From gratitude to worry but mostly for the love and care AHRH showed to Angel and to me - every single time I called to check on her and even encouraging me to visit - which always made me happy. The knowledge of the entire staff and the love they have for the animals in their care makes AHRH a top notch Vet Hospital. A huge thank you to every single person on the staff. Daytime , nighttime, weekends. I could not have asked for any better care. Read Less

The animal hospital in rocky hill is amazing! They give you a welcome package with your first appointment full of treats. The staff is extremely helpful and cares for my animals as if they were their own. Love it here. Read Less

Love everyone at Animal Hospital of RH. They truly care about your pets. The girls in the office and the technicians are the BEST!!!! I also have peace of mind knowing that if something happens after hours, I can still go there and get 24 hour care for my dog. Micky (my Golden) loves going there too....he gets treats from everyone!! Read Less

We highly recommend the Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill!  We have been going to Dr. David Havier since the '80's with a multitude of pets and now see his daughter who became a vet following in his footsteps.  We cannot say enough about the quality of care and service we receive for our dogs and cats.  They offer advice and options for our pets' care that we may or may not take - for example we choose not to do teeth cleanings for any of them - and they are always caring, considerate and completely nonjudgmental about our choices.  Importantly, the facility is immaculate! There are separate areas for dogs and cats, which is helpful when you have a skittish kitty or a rambunctious puppy :)  Their prices are reasonable and in line with other vets offices. I know because I asked around when we moved, and we continue to drive from out of town to go there.  They treat our pets with the same love and care we would.  Go there.  We trust them and highly recommend the Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill.

I had my first visit with Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill. I was very pleased with the entire experience. The receptionist was so pleasant, the vet tech was wonderful and the vet Kristin Haviar was absolutely wonderful. She spent so much time listening to my concerns and thoroughly examined my cat Molly who was sick. I felt she genuinely cared about her and also how I was doing too. I have switched both my cats over to this veterinary hospital. I also like that if I have an animal emergency they will have my cats records immediately available as a resource since they are an emergency hospital after hours. Read Less

We love Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill! The staff helped us make connections to adopt our Boston Terrier Rescues and we head back to Rocky Hill for all our vetting needs. Routine visits are taken care of quickly and efficiently and emergency visits are handled with care and understanding. Dr. Haviar and Dr. Chris take the time to listen to our concerns and explain our treatment option so we can make informed decisions as a team. We feel like we and our dogs (even the grumpy one)are respected and cared for. We will continue to use the animal hospital because the way they treat our dogs as well as the way they treat us Read Less

These people are all about your money. I dont know if the secretaries get a commission or what. Unless its an absolute emergency and theres no other vet open in the world.I recommend going somewhere else. Read Less

I have to say the doctors and techs were wonderful.Third time I have been there.Most accommodating to my beloved GSD Rocco. He has a fear of vets and the staff treated him with much kindness. I love the whole setup and the separate examining rooms which is helpful for Rocco. Eases his anxiety. I want to thank you all for a fantastic experience. Read Less

Tonight was the first time we had to use the emergency clinic. Everyone there was so pleasant and helpful. We are so grateful to them for saving our dog Nicholas. I hope we never have another emergency,but if we do, we wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Read Less

I can not say enough about this Vet. One of our 3 pups began throwing up blood on Saturday at 2 am in the morning. My girlfriend was out of state at a dog show and is more knowledgeable in situations like this. Needless to say, I was freaking out scrambling to find a reliable and affordable emergency vet. I have heard too many stories about ER vets that unnecessarily overprice and take advantage of people in a scary situation like this. I settled on the Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill, and I am SO GLAD I did. From the moment we walked in the lady at the desk was so kind and prompt. Mason got right in and they got to work getting our boy to feel better. We were given a High/Low price range, and they only required a percentage of the total estimate down at the time, and the rest when we picked him up from his overnight stay to get fluids for his severe dehydration and pancreatitis. When we picked him, he was feeling so much better AND they charged us $200 LESS than our low end price estimate. Unfortunately the next day one of our other pups started showing the same symptoms, so we rushed him right in. We received the same AMAZING service and saw a different Doctor and nurse, who were just as amazing as the day prior. We caught it the second time much quicker and were able to get outpatient service. If anyone writes a bad review about this place, be aware that it is probably "competing" veterinary hospitals and holds zero merit. We will never bring any of our pets anywhere but here again, without question. I can not thank them enough for being so kind at such a scary time, I really wish all vets were the same when it comes to our fur babies and it breaks my heart when I hear such heart wrenching stories about bad experiences at other veterinary hospitals. If anyone from the office sees this, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of our Mason and Kobe. Keep up the fantastic work, you'll never know how grateful us pet owners are to have genuine kind people caring for our pets in a difficult scary time.Read Less

My first time having to use the 24 hours ER services they have. I was met with a very nice and professional person named Kiesha (I hope I spelled that right). Then I had the pleasure of having Dr. Gargamelli take over for my baby. He was calm, professional and concerned for me and my dog. I felt much better after he took him in for x-rays and explained everything to me when he got back. No rushing to explain anything and said if I had any more questions they would be there for me. People need to realize working at a hospital for animals is no different than it is for humans. As a matter of fact it is harder because your patient cannot say what is wrong. I worked at a vet hospital for 7 years and I know the pressure the doctors and staff are under. In closing their prices were very FAIR. Read Less

I have brought several dogs in here during the night because it is closer than my regular vet, and my pets have always received great care. I brought my beagle mix in last night after he ate a serious quantity of foam bedding. The staff kept him safe and comfortable through the rest of the night until I could get him to see his regular doctor. Dr. Roasa was very kind about answering all of my questions and giving me time to consider my options. When I checked out, they told me that they had overquoted me on my deposit and issued a partial refund. It would have been easy enough for them not to do so, and I really appreciate their honesty. I will definitely use them for emergencies again in the future. Read Less

Dr Kristen Haviar is one of the most straightforward, honest and wonderful veterinarians I have ever met. Although he passed today, my fluff butt of a cat Ozzy was well looked after by the staff through his time of ailment. They contributed to the best quality of life he could have had for his last few weeks of time we spent together on this mortal coil. Read Less

I love this place. And I am thankful I don't have to visit too often! Last night my little border collie was in a dog fight and got a few bites and injuries. They took us right in and cleaned her up and took care of her wounds. Dr. Roasa was great to talk with and explained everything very clearly. They faxed all the info to my vet who called first thing in the morning to check on Andi. I am grateful that this emergency hospital is available to us. Thank you Dr. Roasa and staff!

Two days ago, our vet in Glastonbury recommended that we admit our Alice to spend the night so that she could be monitored. She was listless, lethargic, and there was definitely something wrong with her. We picked her up yesterday and transported her back to our vet for the day. She remained on fluids and was monitored. She is now home with us and back to her old self. The entire staff at Rocky Hill is fantastic. They kept us up to date on her overnight progress and were so kind from beginning to end. Thank you for taking such great care of our baby girl. We appreciate all the time you gave to her and to us. Read Less

I took my dog there because she was having trouble breathing. Dr. David Havier came in and took plenty of time with us. I was very pleased by his demeanor and genuine concern for our dog. We had to be referred out. Unfortunately, my dog had to be put down a few weeks later. We went in to the 24 hour ER. We were extremely upset and crying. Again we were met with a compassionate staff. I will be forever grateful.Read Less

Wonderful service from a caring staff. I've been here on a few different occasions for pet emergencies and the staff here have always been spectacular. The situations are difficult to deal with, but they always appear to have compassion. The services can be very expensive, but they're worth it.Read Less

This property is nestled between two quaint home town communities. They're open 24 hours a day   We took our cat there who was in really bad shape, close to death, so sad. The facility is immaculate! The staff is the best I have ever encountered. During this tough, tear filled emotional moments they did not try to take advantage of us they thoroughly explained our options Dr. Mori in the team there did a great job in a difficult situation. The even provided us with a very classy looking vase at a reasonable cost for our animals cremated remains Read Less

This vet is extremely money hungry...If the same amount of effort was put into the services that your pet gets as their collection efforts this vet would be awesome. I felt like they were more concerned about getting me to the "checkout" counter than making sure that my pet was ok.They are greedy and it shows.Read Less

We had an emergency with our cat, Bobby. Banfield took $1000 and Kennedy Road Vet Clinic would have taken $3000. Very long story short: Rocky Hill could have said, "Yes, we can save your cat's life. That will be $1000-$3000." However, what they did say was much more appreciated. Based on the tests Banfield ran before they did Bobby's procedure, they never should have put him through that. It was too late and the most humane thing to do is put him down. What I have learned from all of this is when you are in this situation, there are two types of vets. 1) Vets who are willing to take advantage of your sadness and grief by making you feel guilty and then exploiting you financially. 2) Vets who are kind and realistic who truly want to do what is best for  you and your pet, even if that means making difficult decisions. Rocky Hill falls into the second category and will now be our forever vet. Thank you for being there for Bobby when he needed you. Read Less

I had to bring my dog here today for an emergency visit, everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. I hope I don't have to go back for an emergency but if I do at least I feel comfortable knowing that there's an excellent staff that's caring and competent. I highly recommend this practice......

The Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill is my favorite veterinarian practice! I had changed hospitals three times before settling on this group and have been using them for years now. They are compassionate and courteous to your pets needs with practical pricing. The office managers Laura and Silvia are so customer friendly and helpful. I've used both Dr. Kristin and Dr. Shawn who have been able to answer all of my questions and handle my dogs medical needs. Techs Kevin and Lisa are fantastic. And the best part, this hospital has an emergency staff after hours so when unpredictable problems arise there is still someone there to help. Awesome veterinary team!!! Read Less

Great emergency vet, saved our pup's life twice and highly recommended! Unfortunately the regular vet missed the ball totally the last time we brought her in and we almost lost her as a result, thank heavens had the foresight to bring her to our old vet for a second opinion. Read Less

Love! I've been taking both of my dogs here for 3 years. We had an ER visit too, I would have done anything they said, but they actually told me an MRI was not needed, the results wouldnt change the treatment, but they would do it if I wanted..so that saved me alot of money.  Everyone is always very nice.  The place is clean.  they always run on time.  They have affordable medications, and they will mail them to you for a small fee.I have no desire to shop around for another vet.Also, my dad, 2 aunts, and uncle all take their dogs here.

Outstanding. The vet here saved my cat's life several times. My first cat had UTI issues and needed major surgery. The vet sewed him back up perfectly and my cat's health has been excellent since. The ER service is wonderful. I showed up there several times in the middle of the night with a very sick kitty. The staff was attentive, kind, and helpful. They offered me the low cost solutions first. I have since moved far from this area so I no longer bring my cats here. For major procedures and emergencies, I highly recommend this vet. However, the record-keeping seems a bit problematic. The staff tried to charge me for a visit I didn't make. Only after they double checked their records did they realize they had sent me a bill for someone else's pet visit. The bill clerk's initial assumption was that the bill was right and I was wrong. I was baffled that they wanted to charge more than $100 for a visit I did not make. This is the only time that happened and I doubt it reflects the typical experience of most clients. That was the only issue I ever had for them. If you get a bill in the mail from them, think twice. Most clients pay the bill in full at the time of service, so you should not be getting vet bills in the mail. Read Less
