In May of 1980, Dr. Wayne T. Springer purchased Highlands Pet Clinic from Dr. Stromlund, who was retiring. The clinic grew over the next 20 years. Dr. Wayne Springer's son Dr. Samuel Springer joined the practice in 1997. At that time, plans were underway to build a new hospital at a different location.
We seek to build a practice that provides individualized, thoughtful, and quality care to our patients through every stage of their life. At Highlands Veterinary Center, we believe annual wellness care is imperative to keeping your pet happy and healthy! Your pet's health is important and preventive care is necessary.

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.

My 2 french bulldogs had surgery with Dr. Springer. One was for elongated soft palate, the other was for a cherry eye condition. They both have recovered well and I am pleased to find a skilled vet who uses laser.

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!

I enjoyed the first visit with my cat. I love how they try to make the examine room not so scary for a cat. Lots of cat toys, a small cat tree, and even some cat nip. Currently I think my cat is high from the cat nip. Lol
The vet tech was awesome.

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.

We took our Sara here for twelve years and the staff treated her like family during this twelve years. They went above and beyond for her, even today when we had to make a horrible decision, they were very kind and explained everything to us. Should we ever get another dog, we will be back!

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.

Very rude place. No one said hello, asked if I need help, they acted like they didn't even know the dog. I would never recommend them to anyone.

The Higland Veterinary staff is so kind. I had to put my Beloved Maltese down yesterday, the staff was very compassionate and very loving to me during this difficult time. Thank you again!
