My cat and I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Steve this evening, he took the time to read over my cats extensive medical history and was fantastic in addressing my concerns. He communicated clearly and honestly… about what to prioritize, and I love that he didn’t try to push unnecessary extras or over hype the seriousness of the concerns.
I’m so happy to have found this clinic, it’s definitely worth the drive for me, elf and I will certainly be back, and I’ll be switching my dog over to this clinic next time she needs to seen!

I can't say enough positive things about North Hill! They have incredible staff who are all very kind. Recently I had to book a dental surgery for my 12 year old pup, and I was definitely a little nervous. Everyone was so helpful and informative and made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. Shout out to Dr Steve for doing such a great job and being an incredible vet to my dog. Always a great experience at North Hill!

We transferred over to North Hill Animal Hospital a few years ago, and wish we had done so sooner. The staff are overall awesome! Dr. Steve is the best! He is kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, honest and professional. He is always super patient, never makes us feel like we are asking a stupid question and takes the time to listen. We are so grateful to have an awesome team at North Hill Animal Hospital to care for our Ginger. Thanks to all of you:)
