Super friendly service. I drove down there from Omaha Nebraska about an hour away to get progesterone testing for my pup. They stopped doing the testing at 9, But I got lost and wasn't able to get there until almost 9:20 and they were still willing to do the test and got the results back really quick!

They were very willing to take my money for 10+ years, but the two times in ten years I actually had an emergency DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS I was told they could not help me because their schedule was full. Since the Emergency Vet in Lincoln does not open until 1800 I was forced to find emergency treatment for my dogs at Veterinarian's that were not familiar with my dogs.
I know it is no longer fashionable to care about your customers; however, loyalty must go both ways. I was a loyal and dutiful customer for a decade and sadly my loyalty was not reciprocated. My dogs received not only regular vetting at Hillcrest but monthly acupuncture and chiropractics. I am still in shock that a Veterinarian that says they care about their clients and patients would not make time DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS to see my dog with a 105 degree temperature. Sad and disappointing. 😢

To say that I am jaded is an understatement, but from the moment we walked in I was taken by the clean surroundings and the amazing staff, very cheerful and helpful. They werent intimidated by my dog (which is rare) and while we went through the needed procedures his tail was wagging and I was smiling. Having to go the vet is stressful in itself, so having such an great environment is invaluable. Thank you all for making Zulu's first visit so great, we both appreciate all that you do.

I am so impressed with everyone at Hillcrest. They take the best care of our animals and always take care us is too when any of our four legged friends has had an injury and we need extra TLC too. Dr. Dana, Dr. Mandy and Dr. Pat have all been there for us, as well as Kelly and everyone in the office. Our Dog Hazel just had an unfortunate incident, and was kicked by one of our horses, resulting in a bad break in a bad place in her femur requiring amputation.
They took the best care of her, and she is doing great! Thanks to everyone who helped her through, and especially thanks to Dr. Mandy who did the surgery. Her incision looks great and she is doing amazing! Can’t say enough great things about the entire staff!

I just want to thank everyone at Hillcrest Animal Clinic for the Super Job they do every day! I would recommend them to anyone, they are friendly, professional, and have more knowledge and experience than any Vet Clinic I have ever seen. In my opinion Hillcrest Animal Clinic is the *Best of the Best* of animal clinics in the U.S.A!

I started using Dr Pat for my horses and in my opinion he is the best equine vet in eastern Nebraska. I live the way he completely explains everything. I needed a horse put down and Dr Pat was so kind and sensitive to my feelings. I've also used them for small animals on occasion and was super satisfied with the care.

I can't say enough good things about Hillcrest Animal Clinic and Dr. Kelly! Our Golden Retriever pup unfortunately experienced several major health issues early on. As a result, we had difficulty finding a Vet who knew what to do to help her. At 2 years old, Millie looked like and acted like a 12 year old and was only getting worse. Thankfully, Dr. Kelly was recommended to us - and Millie's diagnosis and treatment was never an issue for her.
From the beginning, she knew what she needed and moved forward to resolve each issue. Within a few weeks, we could see a difference. Millie even started to bounce around like a 2 year old should! It is now two and a half years later, and Millie continues to improve! In all honesty, I don't believe that Millie would still be with us if it weren't for Dr. Kelly.
We appreciate her for many reasons. but especially for her expertise, her integrity, her genuine kindness, and her sincere care & compassion. Hillcrest is an exceptional Veterinary Group and we are indeed thankful to have them taking care of us!

I just saw the ultrasound with 7 little bodies and heartbeats. This is the third successful AI done by Dr Kelly in the past 8 years (we don't breed very often) and I am on cloud 9. I can't thank Dr Kelly and the staff enough, if not for their expertise I would not have the love and companionship of the fantastic pups we kept and the other owners would not have the incredible pups they own too. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
