If I could give them 0 stars, I would. At first, this vet seemed great. My dog was having a couple different issues, none major, but still a couple things going on. First they helped us get her diarrhea under control and then we moved on to her urinary leaking issues. After several tests and a few hundred dollars, they determined she had a UTI and gave us a prescription and recommended a prescription food. For the largest bag of food, 27.5 lb, it was a little over $100 in their office. So I went online and found a deal with Chewy.com to try to order her food to auto ship every 6 weeks, to help save money on the cost of the food they told us she needed. The doctor at Indian Hills denied the authorization for us to order her food from Chewy and stated that they sold it in their office so they wouldn't approve buying from somewhere else. I asked to talk to the doctor and was told they would give him the message. 2 days later I still had not heard back so I called again. The girl put me on hold to talk to the doctor and came back and told me he would only agree to authorize with Pet Smart since they are local. I said they offer the same service as Chewy but the savings I had was with Chewy and this made no sense. She said she understood but that is all the doctor would agree to do. I told her this was absolutely ridiculous and terrible business practice.... that was the worst thing I said to her at any point. I was frustrated so my tone was not friendly, but I never raised my voice, talked down to her, or anything that would warrant what happened next. My dog finished the antibiotics but started having issues leaking again not long after. My husband called their office to see what we needed to do, as we were even going to break down and just get the first bag of food from them, just so we could get help for our dog. We are new to the area and just needed to get our dog taken care of at this point, and we didn't want to pay another visit fee, when it is something we have already paid and the same issue we already paid them to test and help us with. Well, when my husband called them, the lady that he talked to at first put us on hold so she could consult the doctor with what we needed to do. The doctor picked up the phone and told my husband "due to the Chewy issue, we are not interested in doing business with you anymore". So my husband said, if that is the case, I need her prescription for her food so we can get her what she needs. He said he would give us her records but would not be writing a prescription for anything. My husband tried to explain we needed the prescription to get the food, not just her records. The doctor responded with "well you won't be getting it" and hung up on my husband. Again, the worst thing I said or did was tell them that them trying to force us to buy dog food from them and not allowing us to go a route that would save us money was bad business. And I stand by that statement. After what the doctor did today... I would take that a step further and say this business seems pretty shady. I would for sure avoid using this vet. We now have an appointment with another local vet that has amazing reviews and is not too much further from our house, and their prices are fair. I never write bad reviews... just not my style. But this was the absolute worst experience I have had with any vet, ever. I hope my time writing this review helps someone else keep from wasting their money here. Read Less

I ended up switching from a different vet to this vet. I liked how brunt and honest the Vet is. He was to the point and very direct. There was no point in which I had to question or try to make sense of what he was saying. I can see where he might rub off the wrong way on someone because he can be brutally honest, but when it comes to the life of your pet, honesty is what you need. I would recommend this Vet out of all of Murfreesboro. Read Less

Gave a good review a few months ago but know since they aren't getting paid their service and attitude drastically changed.... We had been taking our puppy since 8 weeks of age. He received all his shots there and was started on monthly heartworm prevention. We would just go in each month and buy it to give him. We moved to Bellevue, so not just another location in Murfreesboro, and in the moving process missed his March dose and now closing in on April dose being due. We went to a vet in Bellevue with his records to get up to date on heartworm and start flea prevention. They called Indian Hills to get a script to give one dose and it was refused. WHAT!?!? The lady at the Bellevue vet said that has NEVER happened. Petty, petty, petty. Read Less

I have been taking my dogs to Indian Hills for a few years now, after jumping from vet to vet. I couldn't find anyone who could truly treat my dogs properly. Dr. Watlington is the best vet I've ever worked with. He's professional, friendly, and tells you upfront what's going on. The facility is clean, the staff is helpful, and the pricing is fair. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. Read Less

I brought my cat in a soft-sided carrier, which had a zipper door on either side, and a zipper top, so it wouldn't be any problem getting her out for her checkup. I almost had her out, but when the vet came in, the assistant decided to take over getting her out of the carrier while the vet and I spoke. I looked away for a moment while we were talking, and the next thing I know, assistant has the carrier upside-down, literally shaking it to get my cat out! Poor girl is timid by nature, the extra ton of stress, being shaken up and falling to the floor, was completely unnecessary. The vet wasn't very friendly either. Would not recommend. Read Less

The entire staff is amazing. We discovered Indian Hills after moving from Nashville, To Murfreesboro. As much as we loved our former vet, the drive was just too far. We decided to try out this place for our annual vaccinations on our three dogs after calling around and discovering that most places were charging nearly twice as much for the exact same service. The price brought us in, but the level of care, concern and overall feel brought us back. We don't just trust our babies care to anyone. Dr. Watlington is not one of those Dr.'s who is going to shove unreasonable and unnecessary services down your throat. He recommends what he thinks is best, not just what is going to make him the most money. Case-in-point, Our 14 year old Labrador had surgery to remove some invasive tumors from her tongue, we went into this knowing that this may only extend her life another year at best, we had been through this several times before. She had her surgery, did very well and then a couple of months later the tumors came back. Dr. Watlington could have pushed more procedures and treatments on us, both from him and a cancer specialist in Nashville, he offered them as options, but he was honest with us, he offered them but did not recommend them. He helped to keep Dixie comfortable for her last couple of weeks on earth and when the time came, he helped us to say goodbye, in a dignified, respectful and professional manner. Read Less
