Reviews of Hickson Veterinary Svc (Veterinarian)

David Baumgarner (Tweak)

Great experience. Favorite vet we have been to in 10 years! Very happy with everyone there. We are closer to Hickson but they are great in Tavistock too. So keep that in mind.

Sylvie Weir

Excellent care. You can tell they really like animals there.

Chris Frank

Such great staff. Very appreciative of the work they do.

NASTIA LOMBERG

I absolutly reccomend the clinic, they give a professional and caring service. Dr. Cassandra is a truly professional, she takes the time to explain. Jennifer also was patient and loving with our Pelos. Thank You!

First time taking one of my dogs here and it was honestly the best service I've experienced. The vets are really nice and really experienced and I was in and out in 20 minutes to get my Lincoln his shots. Prices are also pretty reasonable for the services they provide. And the clinic is very very clean.

John Olliffe

Mark Zammit

Unfortunately both Dr Yates are retired now & their office can't accommodate my pets anymore, no vets available. So I was able to get an appointment with Hickson Veterinary. What a great experience we had. They know there business & provided a quote without even asking for one. My pet was very relaxed after surgery for being neutered & recovered like nothing even happened. Overall a great experience & I'm even looking forward to our next visit.

Rick dB (Dutch)

Excellent staff. Flexible and easy going. Cavell is very happy with her service here.

Paul Chambers

They always take great care of our dogs

Ivan

Blatantly lied and said we called and canceled our appointment when we hadn't then had an attitude about it when they were questioned. Had to take our sick dog home and book with a new vet for a later appointment in a few weeks. His prolonged suffering is on your hands. We have used your services for 25 years - never again.

On my way to this vet now under emergency conditions and they were the only vet within 50 miles willing to squeeze me in. They already have shown compassion!!!! Was told no by all other's I contacted. Was referred to a hospital that doesn't open until late. Will continue this review after

The staff is great and they treat my animals really well. My one dog was hit by a car and they took him in right away and saved his life. They also did the same with a kitty that we found in the country, and was in really bad shape. I have been going here for years and will continue to do so.

Frank Hemmelder

Had the cats neutered, great service, friendly care.

Best vets ever, friendly, caring staff.

Helen Fawcett

Excellent care given to both my cats! Would recommend them to anyone!

Emlann

I wish I had of found these wonderful people when I moved to town 3 years ago. They are hands down the most professional, honest and diligent vet and techs in the area. If you don't take your fur baby here- you are missing out. I wish I could give more stars!

Shelley Assayag

Always very nice and my dog loves seeing them...ha ha...runs to the door.

I've been going to Tavistock for 40 years. I lived in Stratford for 25 years who's the Woodstock 18 years ago. Now we take our dog to Hickson. Over all those years we had a lot of dogs. We only have one issue with Tavistock. But other than that, I have nothing but good things to say about Hickson and Tavistock. Over those years a lot of people in Stratford never heard of Tavistock veterinarians. I work in an industry of 1,500 people in Stratford. I said so much people the Tavistock. And you're also happy about them. One thing about Tavistock I always like. When one veterinarian wasn't sure there was always someone else there to ask her opinion. Just like the TV shows.

Rose Vance

Wonderful staff and great pet care

Jody Mitchell

I have been a client for almost 30 years, only cats, and would recommend Hickson Vet to any animal lover!

Cheryl McReynolds

We took our dog there to put him down today and the Vet Techs and the Vet Chris was amazing. They were very comforting on this very sad day for us.

Linda Tempelaar

The staff is very friendly and they make sure your pet is taken care of

Dr Cassandra is fantastic all of our fur babies love her and the vet techs

Took our small dog here for a few things now and our older one is going for his shots on Friday. Good people here and it's not overly expensive. Will continue using them

Erika King

Called for help and said "we close in 20 minutes" call somewhere else...Guelph. Very upsetting.

Joel Moyer

They take great care of our animals. They don't do the upsell. They are traditional caring vets

Principles of Veterinary Medical Ethics of the CVMA Professional Responsibilities: III. A. Veterinarians’ responsibilities to animals: PAGE 5 7. In emergencies, veterinarians have an ethical responsibility to provide essential services for animals when necessary to save life or relieve suffering, subsequent to client agreement (or until such agreement can be obtained when no client is present). Such emergency care may be limited to euthanasia to relieve suffering, or to stabilization of the patient for transport to another source of animal care. I wish I could give the Veterinarian that was on call the evening of Friday May 14th, 2021 ZERO stars. Being someone that regularly deals with Veterinarians at many different clinics through rescue and my own pets, I have always firmly believed that once a Veterinarian loses their compassion and empathy, they should no longer be practicing. I would like to believe that this Veterinarian was simply having a bad evening however; there is no way that his evening was as horrible and traumatic as my sisters was. My sisters dog of 14 years, her CHILD, had what is believed to be a tumor that burst causing him to bleed out. For over two months my sister and her hubby had spent 95% of their time with Bear, caring for him, and treating multiple ailments. He was considered palliative and they knew it was only a matter of time before they had to say goodbye. But, as long as he was happy and eating, they would continue to wait on him hand and foot and LOVE HIM. Having a tumor burst unexpectedly was NOT something they were even remotely prepared for. It was very traumatic for them all. My sister immediately called Hickson Veterinary where the receptionist was very kind and told her that yes, the Veterinarian on call would be able to help end Bear's suffering. Over 15 minutes later, the Veterinarian on call got in touch and was arrogant and rude to my poor sister, who already could barely breathe from hyperventilating and crying so much. His unprofessional and unempathetic nature was really appalling. The bottom line was that he wouldn't come out (or allow them to bring Bear there) to end his suffering. They were told to find someone else. Thanks to them, Bears suffering was prolonged until I could drive from Tillsonburg to Woodstock to drive my sister and her hubby (who were in NO SHAPE to drive the 403) to Brantford so that Brant-Norfolk could do what Hickson Vet was incapable of doing. To say I am disappointed is truly an understatement. I realize it is up to the Veterinarians discretion as to what is worth their time and what is not. But the fact that this Veterinarian felt that ending Bear's suffering, and therefore, easing my sister and her hubby's utter heartbreak, was NOT worth his time says a great deal about his nature. A Veterinarians responsibility to end the suffering of an animal should not be based on whether someone is a current client or not. Although we had not used Hickson Veterinary in quite some time, we had in the past (for our horses and dogs). Bear is at peace now but the unkindness he bestowed upon my sister, on one of the worst nights of her life, will be something she will remember forever. If he gets nothing more out of this review, maybe he should take some time to re-evaluate WHY he became a Veterinarian and whether his heart is still in it, for the sake of others, if not for himself.
