I understand that many times veterinary hospitals receive negative reviews because we are in a heightened emotional state when our pets are sick or in crisis. But my experience here was the complete opposite, and I feel it's important to recognize the incredible care they provide. I rushed my beloved dog, Bella, in during a medical emergency, not knowing just how serious her condition was. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff treated us with such kindness, patience, and compassion. They took the time to thoroughly explain her diagnosis and condition in a way that made me feel supported and informed during one of the most overwhelming moments of my life. What stood out most was not just how they cared for Bella, but how they cared for every animal in their ER. I witnessed firsthand how attentive and gentle they were with pets whose owners weren't present--comforting them, monitoring them closely, and treating each one with genuine love and respect. That meant everything to me. Tragically, Bella passed away the very next day. When I returned for her cremation, the staff showed me an incredible level of compassion. They comforted me in a way I will never forget. In such a painful moment, their empathy and kindness brought me a sense of peace that I didn't know I needed. I am beyond grateful for the care, dignity, and love they showed my sweet Bella--and for the compassion they showed me. Thank you for everything you do for our pets and for the people who love them.

They tried to say my pet needed another rabies vaccine (which lasts for 3 years) that he just got last year. I had to be the one to correct them on their false records with absolutely no veterinary experience. The vaccination he WAS due for should have been simple and to the point but of course the staff again gave me the wrong information. The woman I spoke to told me there would be no office visit fee since I had already paid for it my last visit. Two days before the appointment I get a voicemail that they made a mistake and will charge an extra $104 for an office visit on top of the vaccine. When I called to get this sorted out I was given the run around and was asked "what did the lady sound like that you spoke to"? I'm sorry do you want me to reenact her voice to you? I understand that mistakes happen but these were two big blunders on their part and the least they could have done was simply waive the office visit fee. Instead the receptionist was nasty, rude, incompetent, and unprofessional. This place is clearly going down under and hurting for money if they are trying to get you to come in a year later for a vaccine that lasts 3 years. Crooks. Avoid at all costs.

I've gone back and forth over whether to write a review or not, but at the end of the day, this is about our besties, who for many of us are our children.. I wish someone had warned us about the lack of "heart" in "heart" of Chelsea, their irresponsible and incompetent care before we found ourselves in this position. On Saturday morning 1/13/24 my husband brought our dog to HOC with a fractured humerus. At first, things seemed great as they called around to find an option to get us to a hospital with a surgeon on call and recommended American Medical Center. Unfortunately, everything else that followed was unprofessional, unacceptable, and unbelievably upsetting. For whatever reason, someone at HOC told us to arrive at 4 a.m. to AMC and that his x-rays and records would be sent. At 8 p.m. I called AMC and they said they'd never heard of any individual being told by their vet (or any person) to come at 4 a.m. and couldn't understand why we were told to do that. They said that was highly irregular. At this point, we'd now lost valuable time since apparently there had been a surgeon on staff earlier and possibly could have gotten him on the schedule that day and now with it being MLK Day the following day, we'd likely not be attended to right away. They also had no X-Rays from HOC. (HOC would later put the blame on AMC, a 100-year old institution with a stellar reputation.) My husband was told at the time of the visit, "if we had questions or concerns, we should page the doctor on call and they'd be able to help. Not to worry." Awesome (in theory). After AMC said the info HOC gave us was incorrect and confusing, we called and paged the HOC doctor on call. And TWICE a person who did not identify herself called back. She had no idea who we were, what we wanted, why we were paging and after we explained everything and expressed our panic and concern, she not only provided us with no sense of security or any information of any kind at all, but she was totally dismissive, said she couldn't be of any help and hung up after less than 3 minutes with no answers. I can't imagine that was a doctor and if was shame on you. HOC's manager Jody later insisted that was the doctor we spoke to, which was even more worrisome to know that a doctor could act like a teen working the late shift at Taco Bell. Hoping the original doctor was right, we showed up at 4:30 a.m. And it was pointless. Had we gone after HOC, we could have gotten on a schedule, but instead lost a day. But I digress. our dog was taken in at that time. ... And we get told he may get surgery that day but most likely not. Later in the day the surgical team calls and said it'll probably be Monday or more likely Tuesday. WHAT!!! And we are left with a lot of questions and, being dog dads, left in anxiety-filled confusion. Here's where it goes from bad to the completely unacceptable and unconscionable. Again, we did what we were told to by the original doctor and paged the "doctor on call." A woman called back, and I explained everything. I was clearly a distressed dog dad and she literally told me "I don't know anything. I am only the person answering calls from 7 to 9. I can not be of any help. I don't have info. This isn't anything I know. Sorry. Bye." And I say this will all seriousness an no sarcasm intended, I have had more compassion, information and professionalism from the DoorDash delivery person about a food order than I did from your "on call" person over my canine child who was in an animal hospital ICU. Yet, as if it could not get any worse or more infuriating ... this morning we got a call from someone at HOC and my husband spoke to her this time. He explained everything and how we had just paid $10K and were told that the surgery could go to Tuesday or Wednesday and now and the response was, do you want me to call around to find you another hospital to go to. What the hell?! That was the sage advice and suggestion. Knowing we had now paid you $1,400, including $400+ for X-Rays that were never sent and had to be redone (essentially costing us $400), and knowing our dog was already in the ICU at AMC (where HOC suggested) and that we paid $10k, they thought having us go find a new surgical team at some other place in some other part of town, disrupt him and move in his fragile condition and pay another $10k (potentially delaying surgery further and potentially causing more damage to his injury and traumatizing him even more (not to mention the trauma we were already experiencing) was the wise, secure and sound medical advice you had to offer. We accepted years ago that choosing HOC meant paying a little more because the care was basic: shots, blood work and the occasional eye infection. I would not trust them with the care of any animal, and could never in good conscious recommend them to anyone.

After the surgery, the vet came out took her time and talked to us and showed us pictures of what was going on with my dog. She seemed to genuinely really like my dog and told us how sweet she was and how my dog was acting like herself after surgery. I greatly appreciate that she was able to my save my dog.. I will go back to her of course.

We said goodbye to our 15 year old (my forever baby) after discovering his incurable cancer. We knew that he needed immediate assistance (he could not hold on for more than a day or so) and we reached out to HomeHeart Vets requesting a same-day appointment. Dr. Samantha Shone made time at the end of her day to come to our aid. Immediately we could tell that she had a kind and compassionate heart, and she was extremely supportive through the whole process. She allowed us to feed him ice cream (his favorite human treat!) as his final memory before drifting to sleep. We spent time cuddling him and saying goodbye before he went on his last big adventure. After this experience, I've realized that allowing your pet to pass at home on their bed surrounded by their family, soft lighting, and a very kind doctor is truly the biggest service a guardian can provide. For anyone who needs this service, HomeHeart Vets is a compassionate choice.
