We have been bringing our puppy Gizmo every since we adopted him from rescue center on  Birdneck Rd. Well puppy boy isn't such a puppy anymore, he is now a Pitt Bull- Dalmatian mix that has created a dirt race track in our back yard! And at 71 pounds of pure solid muscle, hubby is usually the only one that is strong enough to walk him on a leash without losing his arm! LOL.......but with us being self employed and hubby traveling out of state, it takes a team of people to get Gizmo into Veternary clinic or to be groomed! Yeah! He may not be the smartest dog we ever had, but he wants to protect when hubby is out of town. Please us with 3 simple tricks, and get all of the loves that he can! This is where the Veternary clinic comes in handy. It may not be the most beautiful animal clinic, it looks like it was once a Mexican restaurant that has been converted into a Veternary Clinic, which saves money for us in the long run for annual animal exams, which can be helpful when hubby is out of town. Because they realize his anxiety level and help me out because he is so strong. So yeah! I kinda like this place. Read Less

Wonderful veterinary clinic, very caring staff, great doctors, and fair prices. I always feel that it's all about your pets wellbeing. They have been taking great care of my 17 year old Pekingese-poodle for many years, and she's still going strong! Read Less

My dog loves coming to day care here. The staff is wonderful.  They always are happy to see us. I also get my dog food and toys here and are very happy with there product. The front staff will remind me of appointments up coming that I might need! Over all my dog and I really pleased. Read Less

I am very greatful for this clinic because they squeezed in another appointment for my dog who needed to be immediately seen on July third after they closed. I will say, however, this place is expensive, and the vets always recommend treatments and services that are expensive first, and I don't see the level of compassion and love for the animals that I would like to see. It seems like they are more interested in running a business than being there for the animals and the love of them. Read Less

I cannot thank the staff at Hilltop Veterinary Clinic enough for their help with our dog!! He all of the sudden formed a fear of coming to the vet (literally would not walk near the front door), and they went above and beyond to help us get him inside for his exam! We were so impressed and will definitely keep coming back!! Read Less

We have been using Hilltop for the past sixteen years and before that their sister hospital Friendship when we resided in Norfolk. They have been part of our pet family for years. Very thorough and caring. Read Less

Ok, so I'm glad I waited to write this until after my follow up, because I would have given a higher rating initially than they deserved. Took 2 small dogs in about 2 weeks ago (I was a first time client, my dogs just moved back to the states with me a couple months ago). It was my intention to stock up on some medicine, get general check ups, and have one of my dog's ears checked because it had been bothering her. Bill for the first appointment was $357, which I was totally fine with given that I had quite a bit done and also bought a supply of meds. At the end of my first appointment, the doctor told me she wanted to see my little girl dog back in 2 weeks to check her ear to ensure that the medicine had worked on her ear infection. At that time I didn't pay that any mind, and nothing else was said about it. Today I went back for that follow up. The assistant starts with us in the room with a weight check and a few quick questions about how she's doing and if she did well with the medicine, she did nothing with my dogs ears at all (which I expected only the vet would do). She leaves and the vet quickly arrives, a couple quick questions from her, she looks in both ears, comments that the dog could use a couple more days of the cream in her ear to make sure the swelling is gone, asks me if I have any other questions or concerns and wishes me well. Total time in the office with the assistant/vet was maybe 6-7 minutes. I go out to the lobby, expecting that maybe they would try to get me to set up the next appointment for the dogs. After a minute or two, the woman behind the counter tells me my total would be $35.00..... It took everything I had to not be really upset. At no point during my first visit when they said I needed to come back did they mention that there would be another fee at all for this follow up that lasted less than 10 minutes, much less that this fee that I didn't know existed would be $35.00. I feel as though I have been mislead, and that they were not really transparent. I feel like if you mention a follow up like it is some very small and not inconvenient thing (again, it took around 6/7 minutes), you need to inform your client that not only will there be a fee for those couple of minutes, but that the fee will be $35.00. Obviously they are free to charge what they'd like, but the fact that I was not informed that I would be paying over $5 per minute for my next appointment which yielded no new information or value for me or my dog makes me feel completely misled. I obviously expected them to charge a fee for the time, and even though I personally disagree with the amount of the fee for this, I would not have been upset had I been informed at least that there would be a fee ahead of time. You lost an opportunity to create a lifetime customer who will need vet services in the future after recently moving back to the area, I will never return here in the future. If I could give them 0 stars, I would. Lacking transparency and integrity in the way you communicate information to clients. Read Less

My dog was sick and they got us in right away. The staff & the veterinarian were very sweet & gentle with my nervous pup, and did a thorough exam. They were all very kind & professional toward me too, and the prices were reasonable. We got some medication before we left and it was a very smooth process overall. Read Less

We switched to Hilltop Veternarian about eight years ago when we moved into this neighborhood, and now we wouldn't go anywhere else! Our dogs are truly like our children and we love them dearly. Hilltop Veternarian clinic has handled the minor stuff, preventative care, even cancer which care required a leg amputation. All handled at a reasonable cost, and our animals were given excellent care! We love them! Read Less

If I could Give them no stars I would. My brother adopted a puppy from a foster home and brought her here for a check up and routine vaccinations a few days later. He brought her in specifically because she was coughing and seemed under the weather although still active. She saw Dr. Cisco. The puppy had a cough and the doctor said it was just kennel cough and didn't do any other investigation. Come a few days later the dog is refusing to eat and drink, lethargic, and coughing even more and struggling to breathe. We bring her to a new vet who immediately knew she had pneumonia. He took x-rays and her lungs and chest were COMPLETELY FULL of fluid. Her blood work was HORRIBLE. It was truly as bad as a pneumonia can get. We had to go to a 24/7 hospital ICU where she will be treated aggressively with oxygen and IV antibiotics and she still may not pull through. This is all costing thousands of dollars because Dr. Cisco failed to examine the dog properly. The vet at the ICU said that she most likely had pneumonia when the dog was adopted and definitely had pneumonia when she was seen by Dr. Cisco because pneumonia like this has festered. If you value your pets life I urge you not to go to this clinic. Read Less

It has been a pleasure to work with Hilltop Veterinary Clinic. They have been taking care of my dogs for many years. The Doctors are excellent and the staff, helpful. The location is very convenient for us as well. Read Less

I had just taken my dog for  a complete exam at the end of April 2016. I am needing to board him so I was told he needed a bordatella shot again (every 6 months) . since it was not done in April, I called to take him in just for the shot. I was charged for a so called exam, which consisted of listening to a heartbeat and charged for the shot . So I guess even though he had a full exam which was almost 200 hundred dollars in less than6 weeks ago, they charge again for what they consider an exam. Read Less

I have been going there with my pets since I moved here in 2001. They have always treated my pets well. I have a cat now that goes nuts when she visits the vet and they treat her with care (despite the scratches and bites). No problems here at all. Read Less

Affordable and quick. I will definitely return, plus the vet is from Brooklyn like me and had great bedside manner. My dog is a shaker and gets nervous at the vet but they did a great job keeping her calm and relaxed. Thanks again! Read Less

I didnt actually have an appointment here but I came in totally unannounced and asked if they could scan my cat to get the microchip number and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Plus they didn't charge me for it! Ha. And the waiting room didn't seem like like another reviewer said. Read Less

This is by far the BEST vet we have ever gone to. Our pets are family and they get that, they treat them so well and they always tell us all options for every situation. I never feel like they are "up" selling me like my last vet and so many of them do. They have gotten me through a losing a dog that had cancer and a dog with a heart condition that we took to NC State for surgery and now they help coordinate his continued care with a local Cardiologist. I highly recommend them! Read Less

Our dogs and cats have been properly treated and loved by Hilltop Vet over many years. The vets and office staff are friendly and well trained in their fields. They are currently helping my 10 year old dog with her urinary issue! Thanks! Read Less

We have three dogs and three cats and have been loyal clients at Hilltop Vet since 2009 but have been very disappointed by them lately. The front desk staff who we have dealt with over the last year have consistently been unhelpful and fairly unfriendly, and after our 14 year old cat had eye surgery a few days ago, the receptionist refused to even let us speak to the vet working at the time. We have noticed a consistent decline in customer service lately (not vet care) and will be moving to a different vet. Read Less

Our first visit was 3 years ago. Saturday morning and a dog with an UTI. They are now our vet. Always friendly. They Drs explain everything in terms everyone can understand. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Very economically priced. Our dogs love going here.Read Less

Dr. Braun is very compassionate along with her staff when it comes to her career. We have been going to her for many, many years! She has now helped us with three different animals in our life. My husbands cat...Sugar, our 1st Border Collie...Lucy which had several different issues, and now our 2nd Border Collie... Adaline which is 10 weeks old. Read Less

The staff and veterinarian made the very difficult, heart-wrenching and emotional decision to put down my beloved 13 year old golden retriever (who had advanced stage cancer) a little more bearable. They were professional, kind and compassionate to me and my sweet golden girl. They took time to explain each step of the process so I knew what to expect. They also gave me plenty of time with her to say my goodbyes. I came to them for help during a very sad time in my life and they made it just a little bit easier. Thank you Hilltop Veterinary Clinic! Zoe and I appreciate your kindness and compassion. Read Less

With the one stellar review and the office's convenient location, I made the worst decision ever to go to Hilltop Veterinary Clinic. My cat was losing weight at an alarming rate, along with other scary symptoms. At the time, my boyfriend and I were living paycheck to paycheck, but scraped enough together to get Frank (my Siamese) the help he so desperately needed. Upon walking into the facility, I felt I'd made a mistake. It was dark, dank and odorous. The waiting room and parking lot were empty, but it took some time before I could see the vet. The physical exam yielded nothing. She asked to do a blood panel, which I - of course - agreed to despite its steep price.  I was told it would take close to a week for results. She also wanted to do a urinalysis, but I would have to procure the sample (which I still have no idea how I would have done that).  In a week, the vet called to say that the blood results showed nothing, and I should consider further testing. This exam/tests cost close to $400. We had to save again for more tests.When we had saved, I opted not to return to Hilltop Vet, but change to Beach Pet Hospital. The vet was able to diagnose the cancer in my cat within 5 minutes, run the blood tests AND GET RESULTS in office, perform an ultrasound to confirmation the diagnosis, and provide my cat with his first treatment in one visit - all for less than the "big question mark" first visit at Hilltop. I strongly recommend Bet Pet Hospital - my cat is gaining weight, isn't presenting with other symptoms, and I owe it all to Beach Pet Hospital. Save money, anxiety and potential heartache - DO NOT GO TO THIS VET! Read Less

Dr. Braun and team thank you so much for all the wonderful care you've provided for the past 14 years...the exceptional care and love for Leeloo through her fight with cancer, with me through the process and now your aid to return my rescue kitten back to health. You have all been a true blessing to my family. Read Less

We love Hilltop Vet.  We had previously gone to Owl's Creek but they were ridiculously expensive so we switched.  The ladies here are always super sweet to my little jack russell and make me feel totally at ease when we bring him in.  Unlike some other vets they don't pressure you or make you feel bad if you decide not to do certain procedures.  The staff are all very friendly and the doctors knowledgeable.  Would definitely recommend!
