Years ago now, as a young person fresh out of college and a cross country move I brought my 3 year old cat to Hillside for a second opinion on a full mouth tooth extraction. I was concerned my youngest cat would go her whole life without teeth.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Nicola Council at that time and she reassured me that my cat did not need all her teeth removed, but recommended a dental cleaning which I immediately booked.
As a new resident in Arizona, my new full time job was working in animal rescue. I received news that the rescue was recommending a puppy I was fostering be put to sleep. I again came to Hillside for a second opinion and this time I saw Dr Brad Rosonke. He took time to understand this puppy's complex medical history and reassured me that she was going to get better with time and TLC. And she did.
After this I brought my animals to Hillside religiously. I worked at other veterinary hospitals, but I would never bring my own pets or my foster pets there. Eventually, I accepted a position at their office and I worked for nearly three years with these wonderful vets. I can not say enough great things about the veterinary staff here. I've moved on to helping in human medicine now, but the time I spent as an employee at Hillside only strengthened my belief that they are the best place to bring your pets for care.
The prices here are on the higher side, but it's well worth it for the genuine care you receive, not to mention the top of the line veterinary equipment and surgical options they offer. Dr. Council is so talented and takes her time explaining everything she does during the exam. When my kids come in, she offers to show them what she's doing and welcomes so many questions with patience and grace. There is truly no better place to be with a sick or healthy animal, than Hillside.
