We are new to the area. I called to get some info on services. The gal that answered the phone sounded like I woke her from a nap. As I asked basic questions about which shots were required & other basic relative guidelines to my pet's impending procedure, she didn't sound like she knew much and at one point she even said "I dont know". I'm pretty sure I could've received more info if I called the hotline at the zoo. I hung up & called a couple other places. The ladies that answered thier phones walked me through pre-exam requirements, necessary shots, labs, length of stay and detailed the costs of each proceedure. Phone business accounts for over 70% of ones business. She wasnt rude, I can even deal with rude, I get it, some people have bad days, but If this clueless lady is the first point of contact for this business, how clueless is everyone else under this roof? There is no way I'll bring my fur baby here. I'll pay double somewhere else to a staff that is educated & knowledgeable in the animal field. Read Less

The fact that you refused your services and did what you thought was best for us without giving us any other option or even consulting with us was horrible constumer service. you don’t get to make decisions for us we didn’t care about you charging us and telling us if he had it later if you suspected that he had the symptoms then you should’ve seen him and examined him gave us some medicine or something. You people tried to act sentimental and referred us to other clinics but our puppy was dying at that moment. We asked you if you could do anything and you said no because you didn’t have any test not, you never said that a shipment would come Monday and even if it were coming Monday you could’ve possibly saved him prolonged his life by at least giving him hydration. Who are you to tell us what we did wrong with our last 1 puppy not “puppies” thats not your place to tell us that we were wrong and that we didn’t take action to vaccinate our puppy. we did not know the symptoms of parvo we rushed him to the clinic and he got all of his shots but it was to late for him. For you to try to call us out publicly and tell us that we were wrong is nonhuman espicially when we tried to seek help in that moment that’s all that matters you all need to re-evaluate your life’s and the way you do your jobs because no matter how many times you tell us we are wrong your wrong for refusing us service if you really cared about animals you would’ve helped.

Disgusting with their customer services. My puppy had parvo and because they were about to “ close” they referred us to other clinics . They told us there was literally nothing they could possibly do, when they could’ve hooked him up to an iv right then. That dump needs to be shut down and a real practice should should be built . One that actually cares and loves animals. Read Less

This place is awesome! I’m a night shift worker and needed to change my appointment multiple times due to scheduling conflicts. Not only did they work with me, they were able to get me in earlier than my actual appoint the day of so I could get some much needed sleep! They were very friendly and professional. They answered all of my questions and made my dog and me feel very comfortable. Totally recommend! Also, they accept Care Credit:) Read Less

I did post and it's disappeared! Jan. 1, 2017 I came in with my sick Maltese. I was 64 years old. I had a cast on my left hand and my dog and purse on the other. I was told I had to have cash, but previously they accepted a credit card over the phone. The vet grabbed me by the shoulders, shoved me up against the wall and pushed me out the door. The police were called. Vet told them he thought I might hurt someone. LOL Patricia Brink Read Less

The staff and Dr we're so great. They treat your pet like their own. They were so friendly when I went in with my puppy when his leg was hurt. Very understanding staff.

I visited here two years ago when my cat had ongoing vomiting and weight loss issues. I had been going to one of the local corporate hospitals, but the symptoms persisted. Dr. Carlson met with me and listened carefully to the history, and after an examination, ran some tests. He told me what he thought it most likely was, and the tests confirmed it. Such great news! After an adjustment to the meds, our cat put weight back on and stopped vomiting!! Since then, we got a puppy for our kids and Dr. Carlson and his staff guided us through the growing pains into a wonderful young adult with timely advice on vaccines and parasites. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone!! Great staff and a highly experienced doctor--wish we would have found them earlier!! Read Less

My first experience with Hickman Mills Animal Hospital occurred about the same time that Dr. Carlson joined the practice. My 10-year-old cat was starving himself because of a liver enzyme imbalance. Dr. Carlson figured out a treatment which required tolerance on the part of the cat but lots of time feeding him frequently through a tube in his nose. When I could not do it, the staff there took on his care. After about 3 1/2 weeks he started eating normally again and today is a healthy, good-looking 17-year-old. I knew from that time that I could trust the care of all of my pets to the staff at Hickman Mills Animal Hospital. I probably have more pets than the average person so I see them frequently. They are caring and attentive whether it is a routine check-up or a sad time when a pet has to be relieved of pain and suffering. I can not say enough good things about the care my cats and dogs have received at Hickman Mills Animal Hospital. Read Less

We've taken our 2 dogs here for the past 5 years. We are not only recognized with a military discount for my husband's service (which is often like pulling teeth with other places) but everyone knows our dogs (Addie & Gunner) by name and makes sure we feel welcomed. Always excellent service. They explain price differences of products so we can be cost effective. We never feel overcharged. We've kenneled our dogs here multiple times. They never return to us with increased anxiety or sickness. We've even moved across town and keep coming back because Dr. Carlson and his staff are GREAT! Read Less

Just had a full exam and rabies shot last month. Didn't get the other shots to save a little money as I'm a teacher. And wasn't planning to board her. Then I realized I might need to board her at some point later this summer. They charged me for a full exam again. They said state board requires it. I called the board and it only says she needs to be fit to receive a vaccine. His "exam" consisted of only asking me how she is doing, a look at her teeth and feel of her legs, all of which he did just a couple weeks ago. I am certain I told him when I got her last exam that if I need to board her I'd be back for the kennel cough shot, but he didn't tell me they'd do a full exam again. I feel misled especially after talking to the state board. Trusted this vet. Not anymore. Read Less
