My cat, Ruth had lost two fangs. We found Hillendale after a bad experience with another area vet…read more We had been told that no one could look into a cat's mouth without them being put to sleep with general anesthesia. We'd been told she'd need up to 4 extractions for regressing teeth and a dental cleaning. Dr. Ramappa proved this wrong. He petted Ruth for a good while to put her at ease. When she was calm, he gently pulled on some fur on her chin. She let him look all the way to her back molars. With pet breaks, he was in her mouth for a good few minutes, long enough to see all her teeth. Turns out there were no regressions. The lost teeth had healed fine. There was just a bit of tartar on her back molars that could be addressed with finger brushes. The entire appointment was $75. She needs 2 vaccinations in April and those will cost $180. Dr. Ramappa clearly loves his job. He clearly puts pets at ease and knows how to work with them. Ruth tends to be skittish around new people. So for her to let Dr. Ramappa pet her and poke around her mouth is nothing short of amazing. If you are in the market for a new cat or dog vet, check out Hillendale. Kind staff. Warm, experienced vet. Good prices.

She diagnosed June with lymphoma a few years ago and I am forever grateful. June has passed her 2 year diagnosis thanks to Dr. Chrest's early diagnosis and referral to oncology. I work in the medical field and I know how stressful it is to see patients back to back, along with the charting and phone calls. Dr. Chrest and her staff never seem as though they are rushing through the exam. The staff is very astute and follow up with phone calls. Pups and I absolutely love her and I hope she never retires!

If I asked her to sit, roll over, down, or wait she did it all. Honestly, if I didn't have a cat that would eat her alive, I would have foster failed her. As far as the rescue itself, you can't ask for a more supportive team. They provide everything you could possibly need. The only thing a foster needs to provide is direction and love, which I had in spades. Foster for them and you'll find out for yourself.

This is a great place for dog check-ups, though it can get expensive. The doctor's check-up fee is…read morearound $65. Appointments can take up to two weeks of waiting.

Fair to good veterinary services, very caring and professional staff. Back office manager is…read morerunning a 1950s efficiency business, fails to bill correctly and uses snail mail. I was subject to lost invoices in the mail, no followup was attempted for over a year, then I needed urgent care and was refused, without the doctor being aware, by the outraged office manager who had failed to perform the most basic diligence on behalf of the practice, the client or the animal. Dismal. I also took an animal in for a broken dew claw, paid around 700 dollars for the service, and found the other claw not clipped when I got home. He promtly broke it in a couple of weeks, doubling the risk to the dog and the profit to the practice. That one is a vet/tech oversight, it's unheard of to subject a patient to general anesthesia for a bilateral overgrown nail problem and ignore the other claw. I would say quality of vet experience slipped dramatically going from 2020 toward 2025. Everyone has to learn.. I learned to protect my dog from this practice.

Dr. Z has been there a long time and has recently added additional vets who seem equally kind and capable, so it doesn't take as long to get an appointment and they have always worked my dogs in same day if they are in pain.

Truthfully wish I could give zero stars. Ruxton and Dr. Zimmerman started out as a great vet for us…read more- 4 cats that were semi healthy. Dr. Z and the vet techs are very nice, but the actual practice is not equipped to handle the volume or provide a good communication experience. The front desk staff are not helpful, and do not follow-up with you, even when your pet is due for a visit or immunizations. Ruxton is not a good place to establish your animals, and they do not care about your pets in the way that other vets can (and should!). From struggling to get an emergency appointment (that they don't hold, no matter what they tell you) to waiting 5 weeks for an appointment (when you're already established) to threatening calls from their new Practice Manager, Christy, when I expressed my disappointment, Ruxton has embarrassed themselves over and over. We had high hopes for Ruxton after being a customer for almost two years, but were gravely disappointed within the last few months. If you value your pets health, (and your sanity!), I would strongly encourage you to not take your animals to Ruxton.

I chose this Animal health provider when momo was diagnosed with diabetes. We started at Falls road…read moreAnimal Hospital but the prices proved too steep. Then our little momo started to have allergies. It was very frightening and the staff and doctors have been wonderful to us. Unfortunately, we don't have pet insurance so $100 for a few allergy pills to prevent him from scratching his face and biting his paws until he bleeds is what it is. We have always felt MOMO is in good hands here-the doctors have every resource available and seem to be informed of current research. Fortunately, the billing department will consult with you prior to major things (like an overnight stay) so you have an idea of what you're getting into. I could probably find a vet for a little less money but we are very happy and we know to expect the best possible care for our pet and support for us as pawrents.
