What reviewers say

90% Positive sentiment
based on 776 reviews

Hickory Veterinary Hospital provides exceptional care with a highly compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional staff. The facility features a clean, spacious waiting area designed to comfortably separate pets. Appointments are easily scheduled online or by phone, often with rapid availability for urgent needs. Veterinarians take the time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, discuss treatment options without pushing unnecessary procedures, and conduct attentive follow-up calls. While the practice is widely praised for handling anxious, reactive, or exotic pets with great patience and gentleness, pricing can occasionally fluctuate, and pharmacy operations or prescription fulfillment can sometimes experience delays.
