I took my dog in and saw Dr Judy Glogau who was the most awful vet I have ever experienced. She was mean and nasty to my dog and called herself an "alpha bitch" when she left the exam room. I will never go there again. The other vet's might be nice, but Dr. Glogau needs to be fired.
We had heard from friends that the Hopewell Veterinary Group "did not have good bedside manner" but we took our new dog there anyway. What a great experience we had! Since then we have taken our second dog there twice for emergencies (she's a puppy that eats things she shouldn't) and every experience has been positive. The doctors are thorough and the staff is very friendly treating our dogs like they are their own. Definitely recommend!
A friend turned us on to this group a few years ago. The Vet's are EXTREMELY dedicated and responsive. I assume that is why the pricing is so very reasonable. Although they are not an "emergency" facility, they have saved me literally thousands of dollars on emergencies and surgeries.
I switched to this vet about a year and a half ago after my happy-go-lucky dog showed visible distress at the abrupt handling he received at another local veterinarian. I have been delighted with the service I have gotten here. They are a no-nonsense vet. They will not recommend a procedure that is not necessary. For example, we recently adopted a stray cat. When I brought her in for an evaluation and they were unable to determine if she was spayed, they recommend waiting to see if she went into heat rather than an exploratory surgery. For this reason, I don't think they are uncaring but rather take a realistic approach towards veterinary practices and what people can afford to do. I also appreciate that they are straightforward and will tell you if they are unsure about something. Their prices are very reasonable and their pricing practices fair. Therefore, I wholly recommend this practice.
I moved to the area about 2 years ago. My 'baby', a 14 year old Mainecoon - Gianni, started showing signs of weight loss and I noticed he wasn't eating just a few months ago. I became worried and started him on wet food. That method was short lived. He was starting to act strange. I took him to a local Veterinary (of which I will not name for the sake of slander) who brushed it off as a gum infection. Forcing antibiotics and pain relievers in him caused much distress and heartbreak. He resented me for it and refused to come near me. I cannot begin to tell you how bad that hurt. My in-laws made the judgement call to take him to their Vet - Hopewell Veterinary Group.. The Vet (although was a little insensitive) knew exactly what Gianni needed. He took his time with him and covered all the bases. Sometimes we mistake tough love for in-sensitiveness. I guess it was a case of 'Truth Hurts'. He found a tumor the size of a Plum on his left kidney (cancer) and the blood panel was thorough and detailed which detected Feline Leukemia. The other Vet completely overlooked the obvious. My baby went from 28lbs to 12lbs and there was no surgery to fix his health. I was faced with the hardest decision of my life. But the Vet at Hopewell knew how traumatic this was for me and my family and the state of health he was in. They were comforting, respectful and catered to this difficult situation. Our privacy was highly respected and he even helped me position him in his coffin as though he was peacefully sleeping. I respect that everyone has an opinion and as I was reading the previous comments, I came across the one that described Hopewell as nothing more that a 'Farm Vet'. Well, farm animals are pets too regardless where they live. I believe they are even more knowledgeable than a cat/dog vet as their experience clearly is more vast. Their facility is far from the Hilton and doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles' but they don't rape you on charges either. I spent over $300 at the other Vet who only did a check up.. Hopewell did EVERYTHING!! Exam, full panel, sedation for evaluation and eventually euthanasia for less than HALF. They care about your babies and they care about you! We will be going back there very soon with our new addition.
