Hickory Veterinary Hospital

We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible team at Hickory Veterinary Hospital. When our puppy experienced a gallbladder rupture, we were extremely worried. From the moment we arrived at the clinic, the level of care and compassion we received was extraordinary. The veterinarians were quick to diagnose the issue with remarkable expertise and provided us with a clear understanding of what was happening. They took the time to explain not just the diagnosis, but also our options moving forward, outlining the potential consequences of each choice. This transparency helped us make informed decisions. What truly stood out to us was the empathy shown by the entire staff. It was evident that they genuinely cared about our puppy's well-being. The veterinarians and support staff were always available to answer our questions, providing comfort and reassurance . After a successful surgery, our puppy is now on the road to recovery, and we owe that to the unwavering dedication and expertise of everyone at Hickory Veterinary Hospital. They went above and beyond to save our puppy life, and we are forever grateful. If you are looking for a veterinary clinic that genuinely cares for its patients and their families, look no further than Hickory Veterinary Hospital. Thank you for everything you have done for us and for our furry family member! Special thanks to: Dr. Ashlie Hancock Dr. Katia Acevedo Rivera And Alaina

We could not be more grateful for the compassionate care given by Dr. Hancock, the techs and all of the support staff at Hickory Veterinary Hospital. We came to this place after our very sick 12-year-old “puppy,” Chloë, had been hospitalized for 7 days. Unlike her previous vet, here at Hickory, Dr. Hancock not only cared for Chloë but was wonderful in her way of instructing us on how to best care for her at home in a way we could understand. Dr. Hancock gave us information and confidence to keep Chloë on a path to being the bright, energetic dog she had previously been. After a few weeks, Chloë bounced back and started becoming our playful, silly pup again, and then some! Because of Dr. Hancock’s care, advice and continuing communication, we know what to do to help keep her this way. In fact, the neighbors call Chloë “the miracle dog” because of the transformation they have witnessed since her hospitalization. As I said, we could not be more grateful! 🥹

So thankful for Hickory Veterinary Hospital. My baby started limping over the weekend and when I called our regular vet first thing Monday they could not see her. Started reading reviews and called Hickory. They were able to squeeze us in to see Dr. Redding....who must be a cat whisperer, because my girl was so comfortable with him. Very attentive to our girl and assuring to this stressed cat mom. (Hickory Veterinary Hospital, if you see this, thank you so much for taking such great care of our Fleury girl.)

Love Love L❤️ve my new animal veterinarian Ashley Hancock. She and her crew are the most compassionate animal workers I have met. They truly care about your pet and treat them like family. I believe I have made a good decision and my new little kitten "LuLu" thinks so too. 😃

Awful dental experience here with our dog. He had several teeth extracted and the veterinarian left the roots intact without letting us know. This led to infection which led to pain, suffering and ultimately oral surgery from a specialist for our 3 year old Labrador retriever. All of this could have been prevented if they had done an x-Ray prior to extraction or at least let us know that they were unable to remove the roots. I hope others can learn from our experience. Do not go to a vet that does extractions without doing x-rays. The oral surgeon that took care of the root extractions was shocked and told us they had never seen this before. Our dog suffered because the crowns were cut off, but the roots left intact. X-rays are the standard of care when doing extractions. To make matters worse, Hickory Veterinary Hospital denied responsibility for the whole situation. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable.
