There are times we have had to take our dogs closer to home, and we just see a complete difference. Dr. Ben is always patient, knowledgeable and professional with all of our many questions (especially since it's been 14 years since we had a puppy). We never feel rushed, confused, (or pressed upon to add services as I see in October's review). This is simply not the case with Hillside. Their staff is pleasant, efficient, extremely caring, while also being knowledgeable & professional. I've never met anyone at Hillside that gave us less than excellent & exemplary customer service. I recommend Hillside to any animal lover!

Special Thanks to Dr. Ben for his care, paying attention to very little details and establishing treatment plan that proven to be successful. Team took our little dog in critical condition in times when many appointments already been pre-scheduled but we didn't wait pretty much., in no time the team took care of him and Dr. Ben performed all tests in timely matter. We believe it all saved our dog. Again, very much appreciated! Way to go! God bless you.

We brought Dakota, Sampson, Jingles, and most recently Bodie. We had come to believe the staff at Pineview knew what they were doing. When we brought Bodie in specifically for a serious limp on 2/23/26 we expected nothing less. We were told he probably pulled a muscle and we should permit only limited leash walks and confinement in our house. That day, he was also updated on all his vaccinations. That visit cost us $271.78, including $14.80 for pain pills. Bodie normally doesn't walk. He runs. This was going to be very difficult. But we tried. Despite our best efforts he kept getting worse. Not better. We called and it was suggested we bring Bodie in for X-rays. Just in case there was bone damage or other serious injuries. We did so on 3/9/26. We left him for the day and was told the X-rays revealed nothing. The verdict again was sore muscle. We were offered the opportunity to send the X-rays to a specialist for an additional fee. We declined. The X-ray visit cost $464.92. Throughout this time when we told friends what was going on and the first thing they said was it sounded like Lyme disease. They asked if the vet had checked him for Lyme. Although we didn't know, we assumed so. We trusted Pineview. On 3/21/26 I called to talk to the veterinarian. Bodie was getting worse. We were only letting him outside, on a short leash to pee and poop. He was both in pain and going nuts from his imprisonment. I left a message. No one returned the call. Bodie kept getting worse. I called again on 4/13/26. Again, I left a message. Again, no one returned the call. Friends had given us the name of their veterinarian. We called and set up an appointment for 4/14/26. We called Pineview to get Bodie's records. When the email arrived, we discovered his last Lyme disease testing was 8/8/25. He was not tested on 2/23/26 when we brought him in specifically for his limp. On 4/14/26 we went to the friend's vet. He was immediately tested for Lyme disease. He tested positive for both Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis. He was given medications for both. As it would happen, someone from Pineview finally returned my calls while Bodie was at the new vets. Bodie was later diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. Today Bodie is up and running. He still has a minor limp. But his is outside half the day and running around again. We noticed a change after three days on the Lyme disease medication. All this by way of saying we were very disappointed in the performance and professionalism of Pineview Veterinary Hospital and your staff. Bodie spent almost two months getting worse and worse. We don't know if the chronic Lyme disease damaged any internal organs. We do know we will not be back to Pineview Veterinary Hospital. I am also requesting a refund of the $464.92 X-rays necessitated by the failure to test for Lyme disease. Regards, Tim McGowan (Address removed) Davis, WV 26260 UPDATE AS OF 5/20/26 5/12/26 I MADE THREE CALLS ASKING TO SPEAK WITH DR. JENKINS. HE WAS UNAVAILABLE. I ASKED HIM TO CALL. HE DID NOT RETURN THE CALLS. 5/13/26 DR. JENKINS CALLED TO SAY THE REASONS FOR THEIR ACTIONS WERE COMPLEX AND HE WAS WRITING A LETTER IN REPLY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S COMPLEX ABOUT NOT FOLLOWING INDUSTRY STANDARD PRACTICES OR RETURNING PHONE CALLS. BUT I AGREED TO WAIT FOR THE LETTER. 5/18/26 I CALLED TO ASK WHEN I MIGHT RECEIVE THE LETTER. DR. JENKINS WAS UNAVAILABLE AND DID NOT RETURN THE CALL. 5/20/26 I CALLED THREE TIMES TODAY DR. JENKINS WAS UNAVAILABLE. I ASKED FOR A RETURN CALL. I DID NOT RECEIVE ONE.

We brought him to country side, WORST MISTAKE EVER!!! The doctor is very rude and inconsiderate, he comes in the room and doesn't even say hello or ask for my dogs name or anything. Just gives him the needle and walks out!! Doesn't say ONE WORD! He had blood all over his shirt. And on top of all that, HE FORGOT FOR 2 WEEKS TO SEND MY DOG OUT TO BE CREMATED!!! We have to go 5 weeks without having his ashes back! How horrid of an experience! Never again would I take an animal here or ever recommend Paul Deal or this dump! He didn't have any problem taking my money or lying to me saying he was picked up but when we called the crematory they said countryside told them they didn't have any animals to be picked up!
