When other Vet Clinics tell you to take your animal to NC State, understand this is his Alma Mater. The clinic has equipment to perform a lot of the same procedures like chemo for animals. All that I can say, in my experience ONLY,(so please don't blast me) is that you pay for what you get. Is the practice expensive? Well it's not cheap. However, Dr Dale has cured my cats when all hope was gone. He NEVER RAN unnecessarily tests. I can't THANK Him enough for all he has done. Truly an Amazing Vet in our community and grateful to have him!!

Every visit was at least an hour wait, sometimes closer to 2.5 hours. Dropping your pet off for surgery? Plan on waiting at least an hour. Picking them up? Another hour and a half. I honestly don't understand why they bother making appointments. Trying to get someone on the phone is just as frustrating. The phone rings forever, and if you leave a voicemail, don't expect a call back. The front desk experience only makes things worse. If you have to deal with Brittney, be prepared to be treated like you're bothering her. She's rude, doesn't listen, and acts like helping clients is an inconvenience. Almost every time I've been in the lobby, someone has been complaining about the front desk, and there are plenty of reviews that mention the same thing. I even brought it up to the doctor and other staff members, and it was obvious they were aware of the issue, but nothing ever changed. My biggest concern, though, is the care my dog received. After orthopedic surgery, my dog developed a MRSA infection. He needed another surgery, and I was told all of the hardware would be removed. Instead, they only removed the mesh and left the rest of the hardware in place. I paid for that second surgery. The hardware that was left behind also became infected, and my dog had to undergo a third surgery to finally remove the remaining hardware. That third surgery was done at no charge, but it should never have gotten to that point. After three surgeries, months of recovery, and everything he went through, he still can't properly use his leg. Then my other dog needed surgery on her other leg. Even after everything that happened, I was willing to give them another chance because she needed the procedure and they had done the surgery on her other leg already. I spent three weeks calling to get her scheduled and was repeatedly told that only Dr. Garrett could make the surgery schedule and that someone would call me back. No one ever did. After three weeks of waiting while my dog continued to suffer, I was finally told they weren't going to do her surgery because I had been unhappy with how my first dog's case had been handled. Three weeks wasted when I could have been getting her help somewhere else. I don't write reviews lightly, but after everything my dogs and I went through, I feel other pet owners deserve to know what our experience was. I will never bring another pet to this practice.

I almost never write reviews, but after what happened today, I simply could not let this day pass…read morewithout writing one! I am a veterinarian myself, although I have worked with horses for over 30 years, not small animals. I have a 3 1/2-year-old Boxer/Golden Retriever mix (90 pounds) who is probably the sweetest and most loving dog I have ever had in my 50 years of life! For the past two months, he has been struggling with gastrointestinal problems and difficulty tolerating his food, we tried different diets, including professionally formulated homemade food and commercial foods marketed as natural, but it has been a very difficult experience! During this process, he lost about eight pounds. Yesterday, he suddenly had the worst stool I have ever seen from one of my own dogs, with a significant amount of blood! Shortly afterward, he vomited food he had eaten about six hours earlier, I spent the night beside him while he had nausea and very loud intestinal sounds. He was still alert and was not severely dehydrated because I had been caring for him, but I knew I could not simply wait for him to become worse! I needed a small animal veterinarian with experience to examine him, run some basic tests, and help me decide what medication and food he needed. At 7 a.m., my daughter and I went to the veterinary clinic where I have taken my dogs for more than five years, they could not see him and recommended an emergency hospital, I had already called the emergency hospital the night before and was told the wait could be seven to eight hours! Another option was to leave my dog there in a cage all day and someone would examine him whenever they had time! I could not leave my nauseated and uncomfortable dog in a cage all day waiting for someone to have time to see him! Never! We called clinic after clinic that morning! Everywhere we called, all we heard was, "Sorry, we can't see him." At that point I was desperate! I prayed and asked God to please open one door for us and help my dog! That door was Highland Veterinary Hospital!! The woman who answered the phone was incredibly kind! She listened and understood what was happening, Instead of simply saying "no" and "sorry", she spoke with the veterinarian, and although their walk-in appointments are normally for established clients, Dr. Josh Barkman said, "Bring him in! I'll see him!" I will never forget those words From the moment we arrived, everyone was wonderful! Not only Dr. Josh, but the receptionist, technicians and assistants, every person treated us with kindness and compassion!! Dr. Josh listened to me, examined my dog, ran the tests we needed, including bloodwork, fecal and pancreatic testing, prescribed his medications, and helped me choose a therapeutic food he has personally worked with for years!! By noon, I was already home with my dog! His tests had been done, he had his medication and new food, and finally I knew what to do! He ate, his nausea settled, he became comfortable and peacefully went to sleep I cannot adequately express what that meant to me. After more than 30 years as a veterinarian, I have always believed that when someone comes to us because an animal is suffering, compassion has to be part of our profession!! Animals cannot speak for themselves, and their owners are often frightened and do not know what to do! Today I experienced that situation from the other side not as the veterinarian, but as a desperate owner trying to find someone willing to help my dog! Highland Veterinary Hospital reminded me today what compassion in veterinary medicine looks like! I will be forever grateful to Dr. Josh Barkman and the entire team at Highland Veterinary Hospital!! You have earned not only my trust, but my deepest gratitude! May God bless Dr. Josh, his family, and every person who works there! Thank you for opening your door to us when we desperately needed someone to do so! I will never forget this day.

But we never got that refund because we had opened it, which makes zero sense to me. How are we supposed to know if he liked it or not if we didn't open it? The next day we had to rushed to the emergency room with Simba, as he was struggling to breathe by that point, and they told me his heart was severely diseased. Simba should have been put down that day, but we were sent home and end up spending an additional $500 for his euthanasia and cremation care after spending nearly $500 after Dr. Seals told us he was fine.
