Finding the right hospital with the right doctors is not always an easy task. At Hickory, we realize the frustration many pet owners feel when choosing a veterinary hospital. So we decided to make it easy for our clients. We took a primary care veterinary hospital with dedicated general practitioners and added experienced specialists in surgery, oncology, cardiology, radiology, ophthalmology, rehabilitation and acupuncture. Then we went one step further and made the medical facility open 24/7, 365 days a year to receive emergency and critical cases, giving clients the peace of mind that advanced veterinary medicine is available. Inpatient overnight care is monitored by our talented staff of veterinary technicians and an on call doctor.
