Hickory Veterinary Hospital

We have just started going to Hickory Veterinary Hospital with our pups. One is just a year old and the other two 11 and 13 years old. We saw Dr. Redding. He took care of our 1 year old and our 11 year old pup so far. He is probably the best Vet we have ever dealt with, with the exception of one other at another hospital. Dr. Redding and his staff impressed us with their handling of our pups and his expertise in treating them. He takes time with you explaining his decisions and takes time with the pups. He doesn't do things that aren't necessary to drive up cost. Very professional. We had been looking for a good vet for a while now. We actually travel 23 miles to bring our pups here. That should speak volumes of the Dr's and Staff. Hope to have a long vet relationship with the Dr and staff here. Take you pups there; you won't be disappointed.

Dr. Hancock is hands down the most caring and genuinely amazing Veterinarian out there. She truly cares about your pet and is honest & trustworthy. A wonderful person to trust with your furry friend. After bringing our pets to her for years, she moved to another clinic in a different city. We saw a few other veterinarians and just never had the same great experience or trustworthy feeling as we had with her. Therefore we decided it is well worth the extra drive to come see her! We’re thankful to have found her 🙂 The rest of the front desk and staff were all extremely nice as well. I appreciated the assistant who helped with Dr. Hancock (I didn’t get her name). Very sweet with our cats and not pushy at all with any services. They have some great people working here.

We are new to the area and weren’t established with a veterinarian clinic. I was able to book an appointment online easily and for the next day. The front office staff is very friendly and efficient. And the doctor and assistant were very knowledgeable and provided great care for our dog. We will be staying here for all of our veterinary needs!

The staff is so sweet and caring. Dr. Hancock was so kind and explained our dogs procedure step by step.

Amazing staff, kind technicians that go slow with sensitive dogs, and Dr. A has been such a wonderful addition to our pet care. From treating our pesky siamese who got an abcess to seeing 2 of our 3 dogs today!! I couldn't be happier and look forward to getting our cat and smallest pup in next month to see Dr. A.and Dr. H

I brought in my cat who started having seizures. I had familiarized myself with the different types she could have and how to best treat them. Dr. Hancock knew exactly what to do and the meds to give her. The first course was to knock out any infection she might have from the seizure itself that she had. She would bounce off things in her fit. The Doctor did confer with another doctor before putting her on any medication. It seemed to be the right stuff and her treatment is going AWESOME!!!! Thank you Dr. Hancock for saving my baby! 😊❤️‍🩹

Absolutely incredible experience I trust the Doctor Redding and the team with any and all of my fur babies. I had an emergency and needed to bring my Rat. I could write a whole blog post about why they are incredible, but I'll keep it short. - Very thoughtful and considerate when having to bring us bad news (i.e. there was a good chance our rat wasnt going to make it. She is doing better now, just btw). - Was quick to have a game plan ready given the description of her issues - Sedation was treated as something that would only happen if it was absolutely necessary. - They care about the mental and physiclal health of their furry patients. They are kind to their patients and do their best not to stress them out or perform more tests than necessary - They called back the next day to make sure our rat was doing better 🥲 - Dr. Redding answered all questions I had and, both him and the team, urged me to call them if I had any other questions Needless to say, they genuinely care about their furry patients and the owners. I cant recommend the place enough
