Hillcrest Pet Hospital

Dr. Grote is the most amazing vet and so caring. I had an 18 year old dachshund and she started having seizures. The other vets I spoke with (including one I highly trusted and had seen for years) said to put her to sleep. She just did not seem ready yet. He gave me other options for medications to control the seizures and our dachshund was with us for another 6 months.

He listened to me so many times and helped me with issues I had with her. He helped me make her last days more comfortable. When it was time for her to go, he came to my house and he made a horrible situation the best it could be. He was so patient with me and I feel like he really understood what we were going through. I think most vets do euthanasia so much they forget the family is in so much distress.

I would highly recommend Dr. Grote to anyone especially for a geriatric dog or one who is in the end of life stage. He really helps you navigate and make decisions you will feel will be right for your pet.

My Kitty Jett had Lymphoma and I didn' t want to take him into the Vet's office because it would be too stressful. Dr Grote explained the probable process and helped me through his transition. He gave me several reasons to allowJett to die at home w/o his assistance if I could handle it or he would come here if I couldn't. It was a gift to be there for my sweetie until he died. I am very thankful to Dr. Grote for his help and support during and after his death.!

Dr. Grote has helped two of our aging dogs transition. He is very kind and sympathetic, and made the experience as comfortable as possible for our pets and us under the circumstances. I highly recommend him.

Great guy; kind, intelligent, so human. Dr Grody stands out from all the rest!

A very compassionate and kind man. We called Dr Grote on Thanksgiving Day to help our very sick cat. He was at our home within an hour. We were SO grateful!
