I've been taking my dog here for 5 months for her physical therapy recovery from hip surgery and Dr Kho and his team have been incredible! The nurses are always sweet and attentive to my dog and she gets excited to come here. They've done a great job at helping her relearn how to walk, as before she was hopping on one hind leg but now she's comfortable with bearing weight on both hind legs thanks to the team here.

My dog is comfortable and happy here, which is important because she isn’t comfortable in most veterinary centers. The inside appears to be thoughtfully decorated for the pets to feel comfortable at home as much as one can. We are using rehab services and the rehab facilitators are fantastic and mostly have a very calming presence, so good for nervous pups. My only complaint would be communication with the front desk. The majority is done over text and email with very inconsistent on whether or not we will receive a response and it seems if someone is having a not great day that bleeds into communication. Also the scheduling is confusing and the rehab vet is not easy to get appointments with, even if your pup has been there weekly for over a year -they are not given seniority and therefore my impression is they are taking on more rehab patients than their 1 rehab vet can comfortably see, as she is there 1 week a month, bi-monthly or so. There is also what seems to be easily avoidable miscommunications which happen with scheduling, affecting us as patient advocates fairly often. Hopefully these are just growing pains and a replacement rehab vet is on their way in to help make sure the dogs who rely on this service the most get reliable access.

My Pomeranians : Bear and Wolfe - mean the world to me. Like most pet lovers I’m concerned and vigilant about whom in the pet care realm I trust. These PROFESSIONALS have what it takes and much more to provide the BEST service possible in today’s medical community regarding pets. There’s nothing like having great doctors whom actually understand what’s important and apply the highest level of skilled knowledge on earth to provide quality life extension for our beloved fur babies. My experience was 5 stars. Bear and Wolfe collectively agree…5 STARS! Extremely impressive, clean facilities. Unparalleled Practices. Genuinely friendly, patient and warmly welcoming.. Heartily recommended .

This place used to be fantastic. They really helped our previous dog, and we have probably referred nearly a dozen people here. Reportedly still the same owner, but sadly seems other things have changed for the worse. Though the front desk is still friendly and helpful, you can no longer accompany your dog into therapy. Nor can you visually monitor what is happening in the large therapy room. Over just a few visits our dog’s condition did not improve but resistance grew to outright fear, with sudden serious behavioral issues on entering the facility and in reaction to touch in specific spots. His therapy was supposed to be passive (e.g., Heat/infrared) and underwater treadmill. On cordially seeking options to understand and address the behavioral issues and lack of progress, we were flatly refused both the accompaniment practice of the past or video monitoring to even see what was happening. Same response when escalated to ownership. We spent thousands here with our previous dog. We tried to work it out respectfully and were met with a generally callous attitude and intransigence. We have no intention of returning.

Our experience at HVC has been some of the most genuinely enjoyable and high quality care I’ve ever received from veterinary medicine. Every single staff member we have interacted with here is so knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and sweet to my dog. As soon as we turn the corner and she sees the lobby door, her tail goes straight up in the air and she gets so excited. Our initial consultation with the physical therapist was incredibly detailed and comprehensive, and the rehabilitation sessions we’ve attended has helped my dog regain strength. Thank you so much HVC! Persephone wishes she could give more than five stars!

This place is so so wonderful. Compassionate, personal, professional. They coordinate a lot over text messages, which I love, and respond quickly. They've been really flexible, and I really like the doctors I've had through them! Can't recommend enough.

Dr. Richter was very helpful in understanding the options for my cat's mouth cancer situation to help her lead the most comfortable life she can at the moment with hopes to prolong her life and fight the cancer with natural immune boosting supplements and treatments. It was comforting to have the honest hard truth about our cat Lizzie, but also know there are things we can for her through these methods that help her be a happy cat for as long as possible rather than to just watch her deteriorate. For that we are grateful.
