I love Forest Hills Vet Hospital and how much they love and care for our pets. I have used them for surgeries, dentals, vaccines, etc. Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. I drive a greater distance for their care and expertise and have nothing but respect for them. Read Less

The staff is overall nice, but very pushy about their products. Compared to other doctors in Wilmington, they are over priced. Dr Paul Gigliotti has no bed side manner what so ever. Totally completely misdiagnosed my dog, after ‘examining ‘ him... which his exam consisted of only checking my dogs weight! Thankfully I immediately got a second opinion. This doctor is incredibly arrogant, rude, condescending and insensitive. Not only will I never go there again, I would strongly suggest to anyone looking for a good respectable and knowledgeable veterinarian in the Wilmington area, steer clear of forest hills. There are to many other veterinarians in town to waste your time, your money and potentially the welfare of your pet at that place. Read Less

Excellent service and reasonable prices.  I won't take my dog anywhere else.  They treat my dog with high quality care, and always follow up with a phone call to check on him.  Professional and friendly staff.  Clean office.  Dr. Paul always takes the time to make sure I fully understand my dog's health. Read Less

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Paul, Dr. Jill and staff. We have been taking our dog and 2 cats to them for several yrs now and they have gotten us through a couple of crises. I feel like they treat our babies as if they were their own, so I know they are in the best possible care. It's a 40 minute drive for us, but when you fine someone you trust it is all worth it...

I can't begin to express my gratitude for the way Forest Hills Staff guided us through the departure of our beloved Zoe.  Their compassion, support, and kindness has gone above and beyond expectation. I will be forever grateful for the precious momentos. What a wonderful place for a fur baby in every stage of life! Read Less

Crystal Langrudi Durham 4 minutes ago Not sure this is the vet for our pooches. We've taken out dogs here to get updates on vaccines after moving to the area. They are pushy with their products & unnecessary vaccines later as I contacted them for a nail trim & meds for one of my dog's ailments. They charge $14 for a nail trim not using a dremel, only clip. Last vet we went to it was free because they WANTED their pets to visit the facility frequently to stay familiar & comfortable with the environment. I do not recommend Forest Hills Veterinary Hospital based on my experience. Read Less

I am thankful to Amany Bebawy (and Diane) for alerting me to this vet. My regular vet is leaving her practice to teach at Cape Fear and I was considering taking my three dogs to Forest Hills. Your post has more than confirmed my misgivings about this practice. Will look elsewhere. Chokrane. Read Less

On the 21st October 2016, we made an appointment with Dr Jill Gigliotti at Forrest Hills veterinary practice for our 8-year old Beagle called Clutch. We were new to this practice as our other vet of 12 years had retired from her practice. Dr Jill Gigliotti was softly spoken and appeared to be very sweet and kind to our dogs; little did we know. She examined Clutchs teeth which were in good shape but she was concerned about an upper pre-molar. Dr Jill Gigliotti suggested to book him for teeth cleaning and she would try to save the tooth in question. As a side note, Clutch had his teeth cleaned last year, we brush his teeth 3 times a week on a regular basis, play pull with him all the time, he eats well, and he has never had any indication of toothache or discomfort. We made an appointment for Friday 28th October 2016 for Clutch to have his teeth cleaned. I took him in and spoke to Jill Gigliotti who assured me that he would be well taken care of. In the mid-afternoon the practice telephoned me to say that Clutch was recovering from the anaesthetic and that everything went well. He could be collected between 4:30 5:30 pm. At about 4:50 pm we went to collect Clutch and pay the bill (which was $499.30). After paying the bill, we were offered an envelope containing (what we thought was Clutchs tooth), which we took. When we looked inside, there were 11 teeth. We were taken inside a consultation room where Jill Gigliotti would see us. We were shocked and in a state of disbelief at what we saw. She said that she had extracted 11 teeth as she believed in being proactive. She said that there were some pockets in the gum that may become infected in the future and that 6 front teeth in the lower jaw were loose, she therefore extracted them proactively. We expressed our extreme dis-satisfaction to which she repeatedly cited being proactive. We were NEVER at any point given the option to consent for 11 teeth to be extracted. She never contacted us for our permission or even for a discussion about it. The term proactive does not imply an emergency measure where she had no choice but do what she did without our informed consent. Additionally, she did not send him home on any pain medication. Clutch was shaking on Saturday at 2 am and his mouth was drooling - he was in obvious pain. We always had dogs and we have lived and worked in four continents, Forest Hills is by far the absolute worst veterinary practice that we have ever encountered. The reason we are writing this review is to advise the reader to do your homework before taking your pet to them.Read Less

I have been bringing my cats to Forest Hills for many years. They have always provided the most compassionate and personalized care. I have moved across town and still drive past numerous, closer clinic (with wailing cats in tow) because I can't imagine getting better service anywhere else. Both Dr. Gs rock! Read Less

You will not find a more caring, compassionate veterinary hospital staff in Wilmington. Paul and his crew have been taking care of my menagerie of pets for over 5yrs and have always exceeded my expectations. Wouldn't trade them for anything or anybody! Read Less

I have been a client of Forest Hills Veterinary Hospital since shortly after they opened (almost 20 years ago). Last year, my cat was diagnosed with diabetes and getting his glucose levels regulated was a fairly lengthy process. Dr. Paul Gigliotti and the awesome staff provided exceptional care and today, I have a thriving, healthy cat that gets insulin injections twice a day. The entire staff at Forest Hills Veterinary Hospital is dedicated to helping our fur-babies lead long, healthy lives and I highly recommend them for your pet's needs. Read Less

Absolutely horrible experience! 25 year resident of wilmington, 20 years as dog owner, my dog on leash was bitten in the face, his jaw fractured, lost teeth,surgery to sew back together by another dog NOT on a leash. The dog owner took me to their vet, forest hills animal hospital. Today, a week after the attack, I returned for check up on the surgery and healing. The doctor came into room and didn't ask how my dog was doing. First thing he said was It's time for you to move ! I don't know this man and he then proceeded to tell me I needed to move to the side of a mountain 4x ! He didn't ask how the dog was healing,he didn't look at the dog , he didn't discuss the dogs injury , my dog is maimed and with lost teeth and a broken jaw, 3 medications and soft food diet. this heartless man advised after his hospital did surgery last week I that I move to the side of a mountain ???. He didn't have anything to say about the dogs healing process . He didn't ask how he was or any words of healing process or prognosis etc. This is the most horrific experience with a animal professional I have ever encountered. DisgustingRead Less

Paul and Jill Gigliotti, the owners, are incredible, not to mention the staff! Their new facility is absolutely amazing...clean, efficient. I've never experienced (as a 35 year veteran salesman) such incredible customer care, and conscientious service. My rescue kitten, under their care, went from being thrown out of a window, to being a full fledged lovable, and adoptable cat. If you're interested in PERSONAL CARE of your pet, as if it was Paul and Jill's own pet, take your pet here. Pricing for services, convenience of appointments, friendly staff, and professional care are first class here. Read Less

Love their new facility. The staff is WONDERFUL. And I know my cats are in the best of care with Dr. Gillotti. The last time I took my old cat in, Dr. Gillotti suggested he not give a particular vaccine ... telling me the vaccine was unnecessary for a cat as old as mine. Now THAT is unusual; a veterinarian not out to gouge his customers/patients. I recommend this vet hospital to anyone who loves their pets as I do. Read Less

Wonderful / considerate staff. They go above and beyond to take personalized care with our precious pets Ralph & Fig. The new facility is gorgeous and make us feel like were in a place that offers state of the art care options just pulling in the parking lot. THANK YOU FH vet. staff. Read Less

Our family along with many others in the area have been going to FH vet hospital since Dr. Gigliotti opened the practice. The office staff are wonderful and so is Dr. Gigliotti. Following a bad dose of heartworm medications (from another vet) in which our dog almost died, Dr. Gigliotti, and the staff provided outstanding care and advocated immensely for our pet when it came to speaking with company reps. Throughout the entire process we were kept informed.  When it comes to our pets we appreciate the amount of time he spends providing us with suggestions and recommendations; we have never felt that he is pushing anything on us- it is a very laid back office and super personal, especially when compared to other vets in Wilmington. The entire staff make our pet visits a positive experience- never difficult to get an appt.. and the wait is never long either.  It's an awesome place to get superior pet care! Read Less

Been meaning to write this review for a while. I've been out of Wilmington for a bit, but I figured I'd try to do a service to anyone thinking about making the mistake of going here.Firstly, I want to praise the support staff at this establishment; any time I had a question, no matter how obvious or asinine, and I called them or asked them in-office, they were above-and-beyond helpful. They're the reason I give this place any stars at allHowever, at any "veterinary hospital" the showcase should be the vet, right? Well, here's where this place fails miserably: Dr. Gigliotti.I'm glad another reviewer hit on the pushing of the drugs. Despite the fact I looked through all the literature for anti-flea, worm, et cetera for myself (and happened to pick one of the most expensive ones for my cat), the bad doctor thought it prudent to keep trying to upsell me this-and-that. In my three or so visits, he did it every time and was not only pushy, but condescending about it each time. In fact, everything about this guy screams condescension. He just wouldn't stop with the guilt trips and "I know better than you" kind of comments when all I was looking for was typical guidance and a check-up for my cat. Everything had a price tag that he seemed proud to recite, and was always sold with a loaded question. (I can't remember specific examples what he said, but one was something in reference to some rare cat disease and us moving to another state- something like "Do you know where that disease exists? *proud pause*  That's right, everywhere in the United States"  as he salivated over my wallet, hoping his guilt-trip would open it).I wish my memory was a bit more clear on other such Gigliotti gaffes, but suffice it to say that if you don't like sales people and pressure, you won't like this guy. Wheelin' and dealin' doesn't belong in any kind of doctoring. Read Less

More a pharmacy than a vet. - One of my dogs had some pain this morning and since my usual vet, Dr. Kerr was unavailable, I just wanted to get him in to make sure nothing serious was going on. Dr. Gigliotti hadn't even looked at my dog and was already talking about two different prescriptions. When I told him I was uncomfortable with that, it turned into a drugs versus natural remedies debate. He said, "I can give you two pills or you can come three times a week for laser therapy." I stated I would choose laser therapy. He still wanted to push the drugs and was upset that I didn't agree, which he made quite clear. When I told him I wouldn't debate it with him, I was asked never to return. I do NOT recommend Forest Hills. I think they're more a pharmacy than a vet. I was charged $40 for a 5 minute exam of my dog and 10 minutes of trying to sell me prescriptions and convince me they're "faster and they work." There's a current health crisis that proves otherwise. I'll stick with Dr. Brad Kerr. He's wonderful with my dogs and is holistic first and drugs only when he truly thinks it's in the best interest of your animals. In the event of an emergency, I'll look elsewhere. Read Less
