Hillsborough Veterinary Clinic

As a pet fanatic, I've seen my share of vets. Dr. Martinez is my favorite I've ever worked with. Also, this practice really understands customer service. The staff have gone out of their way time and time again to offer fantastic health care and make us and our animals feel like family.

Very friendly and flexible with appointments. Good email follow-up with test results. We, thankfully, haven't had to have anything major addressed but as far as routine maintenance, they're great!

I have a rescue cat (former stray) who was suffering with an infected aural hematoma that completely blocked her ear canal.

She is very skittish and impossible to put in a carrier. I was turned away by multiple vets, but this office was so compassionate - they coached me about sedating her and getting her in a carrier so they could sedate her. They treated her with such compassion and care, and she is thriving now and we are so grateful to have found this office!

Dr. Mac is the best doggie doctor .... he makes sure I get to play play play and keeps my toenails clipped....it's called a pedi pedi. Two arf arf's for HVC !

The vets here are absolutely amazing. They come with such wonderful perspective - treating as holistically as possible, with as little medical or pharmaceutical intervention as possible. They always start with trying things that may be more gentle first. Their communication is wonderful. The staff is amazing. We love love Dr. Mac and love love Dr. Martinez and love love Dr. Chapman!!!!!!! They have cared for my dog Lucy and continue to care for Ethel, Veda and our Cat Meatball. Best. Vet. Ever.

Hillsborough vet has gone above and beyond to take great care of my cats. The staff is super friendly andcommunicates well. The prices are also super adorable. I've never been caught off guard by a bill like I have at other vets. I'm also super impressed with the safety precautions they've put in place during the pandemic. They are truly wonderful!

My family has been coming here for over 25 years. Year after year we have been overly pleased with Hillsborough Vet Clinic. They take such good care of our dogs and are extremely inexpensive in comparison to surrounding Veterinarian locations.

Dr. Amanda Chapman is amazing with my older kitties. She goes above and beyond researching some of the weird health findings they have come up with and saved one of my babies' 9 lives by not giving up on him. I'm so grateful for her. The front office staff is friendly and helpful.

I love ALL the staff here- the docs, the techs, everyone!! I have taken both of my rescues here for the past 7 years and they always treat us like family. My parents have several dogs on their farm and they use a different vet. When one of their dogs was sick and it was "that" time, they wanted to have someone come to the home instead of going to an office- their vet wouldn't help and wouldn't provide any guidance. I called Hillsborough Vet, my vet, just in hope of getting a couple resources but they went above and beyond to help my family and we are all forever thankful. I cannot recommend them enough!

Although I have only had 2 experiences with this clinic, I cannot praise them enough. After finding a stray cat, I knew I needed to find a good vet. The first day that I brought him in (10/10/16) was just to see if he had a chip. The receptionists were very warm and welcoming. Although no rooms were available, the staff were very accommodating, and quickly scanned the cat for a chip while we sat in the waiting area. Moreover, they gave me cat food and lent me a cat carrier so I wouldn't have to drive the cat back home in the box he he had come in.

The next time I brought the cat in was for a scheduled check-up (on 10/12/16), which the receptionist had been nice enough to schedule for me just that morning. Not only were the staff as warm and welcoming as before, but they also remembered us -- a great sign for a local vet! I had been wary of bringing the cat in for a check-up, as I knew some vets would take advantage of his lack of history and my naivete about all things cat-related. But there was no need to be concerned. As they were aware that I wasn't planning to keep the cat long-term, they made sure to only perform the tests and vaccinations that were necessary for the cat's immediate health, and they explained each procedure to me so I understood which should be done now and which could be done later (and why). Furthermore, they were all more than willing to answer all of my naive questions about how to take care of a cat. And before I left, they made sure to give me a sample of flea/tick medication (which they would have put on him themselves for no additional cost had he not just received medication in the same spot this one was to go).

The extraordinary customer service and quality care the cat and I experienced at this clinic demonstrate that it is much more than your average clinic, and it was obvious during each experience that they are all doing what they do for their love of pets, not money. The cat has since found his forever home, and if I were to ever get a pet of my own (or find another stray), this would be the place I would trust to care for them.

The best veterinary clinic, ever. Love the entire staff, but Dr. Mac is wonderful & loved our German Shepherd, Boris as much as we did! Thoughtful, kind, caring, honest. Best in the business. ❤🐾❤

Have been taking dogs to Dr. Mac and his team for over 20 years. Always very pleasant, very concerned about well being of pets and they take a conservative approach to ensure the well being of your pet.
Great people, Great Service, Great Pricing.
Great Place to bring your furchild!!

I called to get deworming medicine for my new kitten who was found outside and who appears to have roundworms. The nice lady who answered told me where I could go to get over-the-counter deworming medicine (Tractor Supply) and that if I went there, I wouldn't have to bring the kitten in. Thank you.

I have been using Hillsborough Vet for 20 plus years and Dr. Mac plus staff are the best. They have helped me through pet loss more than once and have given above and beyond the care expected. This group is like family and I cannot imagine ever using another service.

Great service! We were in town visiting family and our little mini dachshund was stung by a bee. The HVC saw her right away and treated her like royalty. Dr. Macdonald was excellent. Highly recommend them!

Great place. Very nice and attentive. Also, as far as I can find, cheapest way to neuter a cat in town. I called 4 different vets in the area and they were the cheapest by about $100! Been in business 30 years so must be doing something right. We will go back.

Dr. McDonald has been caring for my animals for over 20 years. Such a wonderful and kind group of people work here. It shows that they truly care about their customers and their pets.

We have 8 cats (4 inside and 4 outside) . Dr. Mac and his crew are excellent. We love talking to them and they always take great care of our animals. :-D

I've known Dr Mac since Jr High days in Durham when we used to play basketball. A very good vet and always on spot with evaluations.

Always great. Friendly and loving care for our Bichon.
