What others are saying

We were at MedVet Hilliard on Christmas Eve. All of the staff were so kind and friendly every step of the way. They made a very stressful situation a very positive experience for us, our 10 year old son who was worried sick about his dog, and our dog. Dr. Fagundo and the technicians were awesome! They let my son ask questions and treated him so kindly since he was very stressed about our dog swallowing some unknown coin. We really appreciate the staff! – Michelle W.

I was very scared and stressed when I arrived due to my dogs condition. Dr. Fagundo and every single member of her staff member that I spoke with during my visit were extremely compassionate and accommodating to my needs and my dogs needs. I felt like they treated my dog as if she were their own pet.- Kendra S.
