I've never been to this vet which makes this even more special with how they took care of me and my Reptar . I had scheduled a euthanasia and private cremation for my sweet senior boy who had cancer and wasn't going to make it through but he actually passed away at home with me the day of the appt . I just want to personally thank the kind staff who helped me carry my sweet boy from my car and was saying sorry the whole time :( I felt your sincerity truly and thank you . It takes about 2 weeks to receive the ashes back , I got them back in 11 days , I'm so happy to have him back home :( the staff were so patient answering my calls and questions , they let me see my sweet boy one more time before being sent off to cremation which they don't usually do but I didn't even get to say goodbye to him with how quick everything happened so they let me which I'm eternally grateful for to have that last bit of time with him :( I left pictures to be cremated with him and they set up all his pictures when I walked in to say my goodbyes and omg I criedddd ! So beyond thoughtful !!! Thank you all for your genuine kindness during this hell time for me . I can't tell you how much it was helpful while my was/is heart shattering . Thank you so much !!! Rest in love to my sweet sweet boy Reptar and thank you for 12 years of solid loyalty and love !! Momma will see you on the other side !!!!

We took our animals here for about 4 years. Dr. Singh is nice, as well as the staff…read more NOW FOR THE NEGATIVE: 1. Their prices are ridiculous!! 2. Many times we took our dogs in they wanted to do a "test." These tests cost money... a lot of times they would have to send them out for readings or results; of course at an extra cost!! By the time we left the bill would be exorbitantly expensive, like $350-500!!! Our furry baby in the picture below, Misty, was diagnosed with a heart murmur when we took her in for a UTI. They did an X-ray and she had bladder stones. Dr. Singh said she needed surgery and wanted to do it the next day. He did state that bcz of her weak heart the anesthesia would be tricky. He said she had a grade 4 heart murmur. He said they are graded on a scale of 3-10. I looked it up, as I was in the medical field for 30 years and found that canine heart murmurs grade from 1-4. If Misty had a grade 4, she was already in heart failure. Dr. Singh minimized the condition of her heart disease, in our opinion. He did the surgery, it took 2 hours. He put her on heart meds, then later he put her on Lasix (a water pill.) She died about 6 weeks later of congestive heart failure. In our opinion, Dr. Singh should have given us the option to put her on an antibiotic for the UTI, the heart med and the Lasix and wait and see how she did. Instead he immediately wanted to do risky surgery in a dog with a weak heart. We paid $5,000 for this operation. And $400 for a post-op visit! We no longer take our animals to Family Vet of Oakdale. Our new vet is great!! His office visit charge was $50. Family Vet of Oakdale charged $130. Enough said ......

They ended up doing the surgery and he died 2 days later due to having a bad reaction to the anestesia. I would only come to find out that they are supposed to run blood tests to make sure your furanimal is okay to be put under. They didn't do that. It could have been avoided. Also, years before that, they diagnosed my then dog with cancer and gave him a month to live and that was that. We took him to another vet. They also diagnosed him with cancer HOWEVER they provided us with medicine that helped and gave us 8 more months with him. They lack incentive. I am glad I changed vet clinics. I regret taking my dogs there.

It was funny because he's the more wild of my cat in the latest told me that he was the sweetest cat ever how that possible lol he got a prescription for ear drops and he has been doing really good.

I have taken two of my three dogs in for issues, took two emergencies in with feral kittens and have had a couple of repeat dog visits. I have seen 4 of the Vets that practice here and have had positive experiences with all of them. The vet techs and front desk staff have also been great. They are helpful and make us comfortable as soon as we hit the door. I appreciate their service and will continue to use Apricot as our primary vets!

I had a wonderful experience at Hilmar Veterinary Hospital with my cat Lola. Lola is an older cat…read moreand is extremely difficult to handle. She does not like being picked up or touched by anyone except me, and honestly, even I can barely pick her up. She also absolutely hates riding in the car, so taking her to the vet is a very stressful experience for both of us. I first brought her in because she had started licking and pulling her fur out so badly that she was getting down to her skin. I was really worried about her. The doctor handled her so well. Even though Lola was very unhappy about being there and was definitely letting everyone know it, he was incredibly kind, patient and gentle with her. About two weeks later, Lola developed an anal gland problem that required another visit. I was worried about bringing her back because I knew how much she hated being handled, but once again, the doctor was wonderful with her. He was calm and gentle and handled her without any problems. I really appreciate the care and patience he showed Lola. Anyone who has a difficult or fearful cat knows how stressful a vet visit can be, and I felt like she was in very good hands both times. I would definitely recommend Hilmar Veterinary Hospital.

Despite his reactive nature during visits, the team consistently makes appropriate accommodations by clearing the area and promptly escorting him to a private room. Both the staff and Dr. Hulse demonstrate remarkable patience. In contrast to my previous experiences in the Bay Area, where a multitude of medications were often prescribed, Dr. Hulse offers only firm, well-founded advice and administers solely the medications he deems essential for my pet's well-being. I genuinely regret not discovering his practice seven and a half years ago when my pet was a puppy, as I believe his health outcomes would have been more favorable. I am confident that with ongoing treatment from Dr. Hulse, my pet will receive the highest possible standard of care. As an individual who experiences significant anxiety regarding my pet's health, I deeply appreciate that Dr. Hulse and his staff consistently take the time to explain all procedures and information with kindness and patience. I am convinced that with continued care from Dr. Hulse, my pet will maintain a healthy and fulfilling life. My sincere gratitude to Dr. Hulse and his team for their outstanding work.
