This is from personal experience and not heresay.
We have been very satisfied with the care Dr. Hill has provided to our horse over the past 10 years.
Unless he wasn't the vet on call, he has always promptly answered our phone calls. Also, the 2 or 3 times that we called him on an emergency basis, he arrived to the barn within minutes. One of those times was when our horse had colic for the first time in his life. It was dealt with successfully.
And most recently thank goodness he was able to make a quick diagnosis regarding the problem our horse was experiencing. He saved his life! This was due, in part, to his many years of experience and knowledge.
We have never had the experience where he ""wanted to be paid right then and there and that's all he was concerned
with"". NEVER! I don't think he charges anymore than any other vet. We had to have another on-call vet come one time and his bill was a little more than what Dr. Hill would have charged. The most recent bill I received was 1/3 of what I thought it was going to be (surgery, overnight stays, etc).
We always have lots of questions for him and he takes the time to educate us.
