This week’s review acknowledges the team at Holly Springs Veterinary Hospital. Well done!
“Holly Springs Veterinary Hospital has cared for both of my dogs, Whoopi and Nona, for the last five years, and I truly cannot say enough about the kind of people who work there.
During Nona’s recent illness, I was terrified and willing to pay basically anything if it meant getting answers. They easily could have taken advantage of that. They didn’t.
At one point, we were preparing to do about $1,000 in additional testing. After looking more closely at what we were dealing with, they told me they did not believe those tests would show us what we actually needed to see – so they didn’t do them. They could have charged me anyway. Instead, they were honest, ethical, and focused entirely on what was best for Nona.
When it became clear that she needed advanced imaging they didn’t have the technology to perform at their facility, they called veterinary hospitals throughout the Triangle trying to find me a reasonable option. They went far beyond simply handing me a referral and sending me on my way. They genuinely tried to help me navigate an incredibly difficult situation.”
