Killian Hill Animal Hospital

We became the unexpected parents of a little starving stray kitten in October, about three months ago. We knew we had the means to give her a good life, which was an important part of our decision to keep her. It was a certainty that she'd never had a vaccine or veterinary care because she was still so young and neglected, and I wanted to know the cost of getting her fully immunized when getting her scheduled for her first appointment. I called and made an appointment at a well-reviewed vet nearby, who was touted for the "red carpet treatment" they give to pets. When I asked what the cost of the appointment might be, and how many appointments would be needed, the receptionist became distinctly frigid and told me she'd have to work up a quote to email over to me at a later time. She did send me a quote, but I knew when I hung up that this wasn't the vet for us. Tension over simply asking for pricing up front is unacceptable. On a friend's recommendation, I called Killian Hill Animal Hospital. I presented the same information, was given a kind and honest response about the first appointment, and the receptionist then quoted estimates for all the needed appointments. She did a great job, too, as we've now happily paid for each one. We've really enjoyed the experience of bringing our kitten here; they are kind, practical and thoughtful. They focus on what's needed and give gentle recommendations instead of judgmental mandates. We trust them with our kitten, and they've given us great advice during a time that's very rewarding with our pet, but also very demanding! The experience of giving a home to our kitten has been tremendous, and Killian Hill Animal Hospital has been an instrumental part. We're grateful to do business with a straight-forward practice and establish a relationship for the years ahead.

I really like this vet. They obviously take pride in what they do and are not there just to take your money. The staff are professional and knowledgeable, and it reflects in their service and care for animals. Five stars!

These folks are always super nice and they will happily work with you if you go too early for your pups first visit like I did with my dog Einstein. He loves the staff and they seem to love him so that's always a good thing. Highly recommended

Refused to give an estimate or ask the vet for a rough cost of procedure. Only offered to schedule me for a visit to then give a price when I already specified the condition/service needed. Seemed taken aback when I told them I didn't want to pay to get an estimate and would be calling other vets who can give at least an estimate before I pay for an appointment.

They care so much for their customers and their fur babies. They go above and beyond. Been using them for over 20 years and highly recommend.
