My cat, Ruth had lost two fangs. We found Hillendale after a bad experience with another area vet…read more We had been told that no one could look into a cat's mouth without them being put to sleep with general anesthesia. We'd been told she'd need up to 4 extractions for regressing teeth and a dental cleaning. Dr. Ramappa proved this wrong. He petted Ruth for a good while to put her at ease. When she was calm, he gently pulled on some fur on her chin. She let him look all the way to her back molars. With pet breaks, he was in her mouth for a good few minutes, long enough to see all her teeth. Turns out there were no regressions. The lost teeth had healed fine. There was just a bit of tartar on her back molars that could be addressed with finger brushes. The entire appointment was $75. She needs 2 vaccinations in April and those will cost $180. Dr. Ramappa clearly loves his job. He clearly puts pets at ease and knows how to work with them. Ruth tends to be skittish around new people. So for her to let Dr. Ramappa pet her and poke around her mouth is nothing short of amazing. If you are in the market for a new cat or dog vet, check out Hillendale. Kind staff. Warm, experienced vet. Good prices.

We have been loyal customers at Timonium Animal Hospital for over 11 years bringing our dogs and…read morecats in for routine check-ups, emergency procedures, and surgeries. We have been a part of the journey with them when they moved from the location next to the Mazda Dealership in Towson, up the road to where they are located now and couldn't be more excited for them. The staff here is fantastic. The doctors and vet technicians are great with our animals that we bring in. I do have to say that the front desk staff from time to time has become a little less appealing on the phone and in general in-person interaction but overall, the people we interact with are great! We have had to put two cats down and Timonium Animal Hospital has been super accommodating in this process. We just finished a second surgery for our 10 year old AmStaff which were expecting to be quite a struggle but turned out to be super easy and her recovery is going so well. We brought her in worried that things weren't going to go as well as her previous surgery - and then - they were significantly better, including cost associated. Initially, we went in with her appointment and got the final dual estimate in as she was waiting to be cared for, and the estimate was over three times the amount that the previous surgery was, which was for almost the exact same procedure. I called and explained finances to the receptionist to then convey to the doctor and received a revised estimate less than 10 minutes after the call cutting the estimate in half. I don't know if that was a price-gouging issue or just an over estimate to be safe but it still happened. They cut it in half and we were feeling better financially for a procedure that we were familiar with being in a cost range. All went well with the procedure and with the medical professionalism that the staff and doctor have, the recovery pills and area of concern are treating our baby girl very well! Thank you to Timonium Animal Hospital for taking care of all our fur babies when the times are needed. The only concern is the over scheduling of appointments and having to sit in a room with your pet for 30 to 45 minutes to just be seen by even a vet tech can be a long time for animals. The front desk can be more personable an approachable but besides that, when a doctor and tech get hands on our pets, all goes so well. Thank you!

Fair to good veterinary services, very caring and professional staff. Back office manager is…read morerunning a 1950s efficiency business, fails to bill correctly and uses snail mail. I was subject to lost invoices in the mail, no followup was attempted for over a year, then I needed urgent care and was refused, without the doctor being aware, by the outraged office manager who had failed to perform the most basic diligence on behalf of the practice, the client or the animal. Dismal. I also took an animal in for a broken dew claw, paid around 700 dollars for the service, and found the other claw not clipped when I got home. He promtly broke it in a couple of weeks, doubling the risk to the dog and the profit to the practice. That one is a vet/tech oversight, it's unheard of to subject a patient to general anesthesia for a bilateral overgrown nail problem and ignore the other claw. I would say quality of vet experience slipped dramatically going from 2020 toward 2025. Everyone has to learn.. I learned to protect my dog from this practice.

Dr. Z and the vet techs are very nice, but the actual practice is not equipped to handle the volume or provide a good communication experience. The front desk staff are not helpful, and do not follow-up with you, even when your pet is due for a visit or immunizations. Ruxton is not a good place to establish your animals, and they do not care about your pets in the way that other vets can (and should!). From struggling to get an emergency appointment (that they don't hold, no matter what they tell you) to waiting 5 weeks for an appointment (when you're already established) to threatening calls from their new Practice Manager, Christy, when I expressed my disappointment, Ruxton has embarrassed themselves over and over. We had high hopes for Ruxton after being a customer for almost two years, but were gravely disappointed within the last few months. If you value your pets health, (and your sanity!), I would strongly encourage you to not take your animals to Ruxton.

Then our little momo started to have allergies. It was very frightening and the staff and doctors have been wonderful to us. Unfortunately, we don't have pet insurance so $100 for a few allergy pills to prevent him from scratching his face and biting his paws until he bleeds is what it is. We have always felt MOMO is in good hands here-the doctors have every resource available and seem to be informed of current research. Fortunately, the billing department will consult with you prior to major things (like an overnight stay) so you have an idea of what you're getting into. I could probably find a vet for a little less money but we are very happy and we know to expect the best possible care for our pet and support for us as pawrents.
