I followed my vet Dr. Celano from Doylestown to this practice. Brought two dogs for routine annual visits. At the end of a routine visit, my bill was $798.00 dollars. Dr. Celano decided to run extensive blood work costing $300.00 per dog without my permission, without quoting me a price, without even a discussion. Upon speaking to her after the fact, she said she was sorry but there's nothing she can do because the bloodwork was sent away. I was deceived!!!! My dogs are healthy with no health issues and didn't need $600 wor... read more

Front desk girls are ignorant & unapproachable. Definitely not a good look as you walk in.

I am absolutely heartbroken and devastated by the experience we had with Hickory Veterinary Hospital . My cat Leo (beautiful 2-year-old Silver Bengal)was brought to them after he was hit by a car Friday afternoon, 02.21.25. I was terrified but trusted that they would provide the urgent and thorough care my pet needed. Instead, I was completely misled about the severity of his injuries. The vet Dr. Pansulla assured me that Leo had only minor trauma (broken pelvis )and nothing life-threatening and he would be a normal/healthy... read more

Although I appreciated getting a quick specialist appointment, the pricing at this practice is neither communicated accurately nor transparent. The exam fee was higher than two staff members quoted. X-rays were quoted as $300, but I was charged almost $700. There was a $270 charge for radiology that no one mentioned. So, $950 for an X-ray. Had I not been very sick myself, I would have asked for an estimate but I wasn't on my game. I was told I would have results the next day. I stressfully waited until 4 p.m. and called only... read more

Very happy with this clinic!! My daughter and her husband were traveling from North Jersey to Philly with their 3 cats for me to babysit while they moved. On the way down one of them started breathing heavily and foaming at the mouth. They had essentially no idea where they were or where a good vet might be w emergency services. My daughter found Hickory Vet on line and rushed Yuki there. They took Yuki immediately, my daughter was beside herself, they were very kind and reassuring. The cat did not have a reaction to the mil... read more

I just came home from a visit for my cat who seems to be constipated. I was most surprised when the office did not ask for any proof of rabies vaccination, which I had brought fully expecting that the cat wouldn't be see with out it. After a wait, we were seen by a doc who took a history and said an x-ray would be needed to see how backed up she was. I was quite concerned because she had not had a regular bowel movement in about 10 days. My regular vet could not see us until several days later. I went with the x-ray and it s... read more

We've had to take many our kitties to Hickory Vet, they have always been very compassionate and thorough with their care. Since we are a Shelter and a non-profit organization, we always have been treated very respectfully with all of our visits. They did an amazing job diagnosing one of our kittens with a liver shunt, maintained healthy pre- and post- surgical care for him, and he was later adopted to a wonderful family. Another success story is a "single kidney" kitten, diagnosis and follow up care for him has been amazing!... read more
