What Reviews Say
216 reviews analyzedHight Veterinary Hospital receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (96% five-star ratings) with clients praising Dr. Hight and staff for exceptional compassion, thoroughness, and genuine care for pets. Long-term loyalty is a hallmark, with many clients staying 10+ years.

Pricing concerns and occasional communication gaps are the main recurring complaints, but the practice maintains a professional response to all feedback.

Worth noting
Emergency care refusal - pet died after being turned away at closing time
โThey said 'sorry, you should take him to the emergency vet'. I explained that we would not make it and my cat was dying... My cat is now dead.โ
Failed referral - pet in pain while specialist referral was never sent
โWhen my pet needed a referral to specialist they took their time in doing it and claimed they did it. But in fact four days of follow-up with specialist office it was verified they never did send over referral.โ
Missed medical issues during routine visits
โThey missed an ear infection, routine shots, a required physical... in two visits they missed an ear infection, routine shots, a required physical.โ
Pricing concerns - perceived as expensive(8 mentions)
โI was surprised by the cost of the visit... almost $300 for a joint office visit with flu shots for 2 small pups is a lotโ
Lack of follow-up after pet death or serious issues(2 mentions)
โI'm really shocked they haven't reached out and acknowledged his passing. 14 years and thousands of dollars later I'd have at least expected a phone call.โ
Inconsistent information/billing(2 mentions)
โI can no longer trust the financial information I am given to be correct... the general information I request is correct.โ
