My hamster Buttercup had wet tail, and I immediately made a vet appointment with this facility. Staff was absolutely amazing and helpful, and super friendly. Dr. Springer and the vet assistants did a wonderful job with Buttercup. Although she has just crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I am super grateful for this facility.

Amazing vet! Took my cat here after a bad experience with the Blue Pearl Emergency vet. They were able to see my cat that day, in the morning. Lots of tests done with immediate results, very helpful Doctor, and answered all my fiance's questions with patience and knowledge. The staff there really cares about your pet and want to help in any way they can.
With multiple tests, blood work, medicine, and fluids, the total cost was cheaper than just 1 exam, 1 radiograph, and a dose of fluids at Blue Pearl. My cat was taken in right away and all tests done promptly. Out the door in 2 hours with everything done. Highly recommend!

Very unprofessional, messed up test results, won't return! It was under my daughter. Her dog's thyroid test wasn't don't properly. When we decided to change vets, it took over 3 weeks to get the records to the new vet bc they kept sending only the vaccination records. Then the girl I talked to on the phone was rude after telling her she sent the wrong records.
I told Highlands I was changing vets and needed all the dog's records transferred. Wouldn't you think that would include records that showed a medical problem such as thyroid deficiencies to be sent. At no time did I ask for only the vaccination records. I asked for all the dog's records.

Very upset with Highland Veterinary. I have been taking my dog Clipso for years to here. She was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer not to long ago, Asked if there was anything we can do to help her, I was told no she has two weeks to live. After that never received even a email to ask how she was doing they did not seem compasiant at all. When it was time to euthanize her, they where to busy even though she was in a great deal of pain. We did find another fantastic Clinic that was compassionate and caring.

Searched "Vets near me" and called this one based off of location and reviews. I was impressed with the efficiency and willingness to listen to my questions. They needed to research previous records from another vet and called me back in record time. They were able to squeeze us in due to the urgent nature of my cat's needs, No waiting. Quick service. Clean facility. Loving hands and voices surrounded my 13 year old cat. Knowledgeable staff in every department. Both me and my kitty recommend Highlands Veterinary Center.

I had the hardest decision any fur parent has to make today, to let my sweet sweet beloved Creature (aka Creatch McFeatch) cross the rainbow bridge. The staff was caring and respectful during the whole ordeal. Dr. Springer explained every step clearly and compassionately. They didn't make it any less painful but they did make it as comfortable as possible. Thankyou to all that helped me, my family and my sweetest bestest Creature on this awful day.
