Hickory Hospital saved my lil dog last week after she was attacked by another dog. They were waiting for her and took her to stabilize her and then to operate and stitch her thigh . They were wonderful, kept us informed as to how she was and then told us how to care for her and gave us medication to help her heal. Thank you.

I am so impressed with this practice. I was a Vet Tech for 9 years so I know the business. I'm now retired. Recently my 15 year old cat, Harley, took a turn for the worse and when she stopped eating I knew it was her time. Blessedly this practice is 24-7 so I was able to help her on a Sunday. The staff was very kind and respectful and treated us well. Harley was allowed to die with dignity. I opted for private cremation and was also impressed with this aspect. I picked up her cremains in a very nice Hickory Run bag with our ... read more
We brought our senior pup here for a biopsy and 2 surgeries last year when we were new to the area and our vet in NYC could not perform the biopsy for 1.5 months. We researched vets in the area and decided on Hickory due to the doctor's backgrounds, services offered, and reviews for medical care. Thankfully they were able to take our boy quickly. Both times we had great experiences with Dr Dobbins. She clearly explained what they found and our options. Dr. Dobbins communicated with us during and after surgery, answered a... read more
We had an emergency this past weekend and our own Vet's office had closed for the day. I called several places who would not even consider an appointment because we were "new." When I called Hickory, they were very accommodating and told us to come right over. They came right out and took our dog inside. Communication, I think was great and the Vet called a few days later to check on Teddy. I was very much pleased with the staff and the vet.
The whole team at Hickory -- from the friendly and welcoming ladies at the front desk, to the patient and caring techs and assistants, to the AMAZING doctors -- is just phenomenal. When two of my pets, Katie and Monkey, had some serious health challenges, Dr. Swann and Dr. Lands in particular, were phenomenal in their thoroughness, diligence with follow-up and patience in answering my questions.Their level of service is the best I've ever seen in Vet care, and Dr. Lands in particular will take the time -- even on his days of... read more
We recently moved to the Philly area and needed to find a new vet. All the people we spoke to mentioned Hickory as great, but expensive. Most said that for anything serious they go to Hickory and save their more local vet for vaccinations and routine stuff. Unfortunately we had to test this out. Our dog ruptured his cruciate ligament in his back knee and was in obvious pain on a Saturday afternoon. The ER was very easy to deal with. The front desk people were extremely friendly. The waiting area was very clean and spa... read more
Don't take your dog here. My dog suffered for four days in an oxygen tank. She is deaf, which they did not acknowledge, and they kept her on the heaviest dose of medication to sedate her. Every time I walked in, she was so sedated she didn't even recognize me The vets are fresh out of school and they have to go to islands in the Caribbean in order to get a vet certificate. This means they don't go to a solid American veterinary school. The owner husband and wife are awful. I took my dog out of there as quick as I could and w... read more
