This poor review is intended for my visit last week with the new associate Dr. Simon Kim..I have been bringing my dog here for more than 5 years to see Dr. Raja. I stuck with this vet for so long because we always had such a wonderful experience and felt that Dr. Raja truly cared about our dog in a different way than we had ever experienced with other vets. When I went to schedule this visit for my dog it was because she was due for two vaccination shots this year. Upon scheduling 3-4 weeks ahead of time, I was asked if I wanted to have my visit scheduled on Dr. Raja's schedule or the new associate. I asked to please have my dog put with Dr. Raja and only wanted to continue seeing him. When I arrived to this visit and placed in a room, the vet who came in was the new associate Dr. Kim. He did not introduce himself to me whatsoever and and just awkwardly approached my dog. I asked him where Dr. Raja was and he said he was not in office that day (which apparently was already a pre-planned day Dr. Raja was off with his family when I asked the front desk upon checking out).Not only did Dr. Kim not introduce himself to me, the whole appointment felt like a sales pitch. He brought up scans that were not necessary to be done yet per Dr. Raja's notes in my dogs file. He also brought up blood work for my dog to ensure she doesn't have signs of cancer (she had one past mass removed that came back positive for cancer results but since then has been deemed healthy with Dr. Raja at all her check ups). He mentioned 3 times if I didn't do the blood work it would be kinda on me if my dog has cancer... making me feel guilted into spending more money at my visit for what felt like unnecessary testing. My bill originally with what he wanted to do was going to be $1500 and I was just intended to be there for shot updates. He mentioned maybe financially I couldn't do that right now, again guilting me to spend more money.At the end of me stating what I came for today he added her rabies shot to the list even though that wasn't a shot she was due for. I had to multiple times remind him what she was there for and what she was due to get done. Overall this felt like a sales pitch.. it did not feel like he actually cared about my dog whatsoever. I was taken aback by this visit and really wish I had seen Dr. Raja for my dogs visit as intended when scheduling. Not only the worst part is I moved away and drive about 1.5 hours to get to this vet.. so this was one of my worst experiences.I did speak with the front desk about all these issues when I was checking out but just know it will more than likely not be relayed back to Dr. Raja. I really love Dr. Raja and would continue coming if this was not my experience..My only complaint other than this about Finn Hill is that they are on average about 45 minutes late to every appointment I have had for the past couple years, even when I am in on days where it seems to not be busy at all.

We have been bringing our two pups to Dr. Raja as long as we have lived in WA and absolutely love the staff. Our dogs feel so comfortable coming in and the care is exceptional. Two thumbs up!

Were recommended this place by friends that swore by it and got really disappointed. The staff has no willing to communicate. Dr Raja had mishandled our socially selective dog, has no understanding of dogs body language and passed no interest in actually taking care of ether of our animals. We were never advised to get any preventative medication (had to ask about it ourselves) were never advised to do any fecal tests (had to ask for it ourselves and it took weeks to hear back from them with the results) dr Raja wanted to run a surgery on our dog without any blood work that is required to be done before such procedure (had to ask for it ourselves). Significant raise of prices on certain procedures without informing us whatsoever, they were always able to fit us in the same day, because had no bookings. Never transferred the records to a new vet even though they have been contacted by them multiple times. Returned to them again due to moving back up here and was even more disappointed than before. Front desk staff never friendly or willing to communicate at all, vet techs were not willing to communicate and let us now how the animal did in the back. We were promised that the vaccines and blood draws may be done in the room with us to not stress our dog out even more, that never happened. Tried to return for another visit hoping that everything will be better, needless to say that Dr Raja mishandled our dog last time to the point where it was terrified of seeing him again.

Fair prices, efficient and they don't try and over-sell you!Dr. Raja is very knowledgeable and has solved any issue effectively with both our dogs and cat. I have recommended Finn Hill and Dr. Raja to my friends and they have all be amazed at the level of care and concern he offers. Best vet we have ever had!

Very nice staff. They were able to fit Levy, my corgi in same day to drain a abssy that grew from a dog bite injury. I appreciate everything they did. They allowed me to be present while examining her. I recommend this vet clinic. They are my new favorite vet!=3 Thank you again!

I was referred to this clinic by coworker and will definately make sure that I recommend others here. Dr. Raja was very professional polite and was spot on with diag and therapy. One thing that I really appreciate is that he is not like other vets I meet before. Most of others when you tell them that your dog is on raw diet will try to sway you towards " HILL SCIENCE" kibble. Dr. Raja did not do that instead he gave me some supplement advises while feeding dog raw. Not only that but his treatment is already working on my dog. Dr. Raja is a new vet now for me and my family members. Sasa

Finn Hill Animal Hospital excels in providing exceptional care not only to their patients but also to pet owners. They exhibit prompt and friendly communication, ensuring your animal receives timely attention. I was introduced to this animal hospital by a friend years ago, and as a devoted and cautious dog owner, I’m content with my choice to switch veterinarians. Your pet will be in excellent care!

The kindness and efficiency of the staff here are unrivaled. We were recommended this place by friends who swore by them and they were SO right. After being met with failure and frustration trying to find a new vet after moving, this place took our kitty on an emergency and gave us the care and peace of mind we needed. Awesome place. Can't wait to bring our dog in, too!

Caring, compassionate , informative veterinary care! Dr Raja has been caring for our 2 dogs for over 8 years and we think he's the best. The dogs like going, and we always feel well informed, listened to, and professionally guided through our pets current issues and future preventative measures. I would LOVE for Finn Hill to bring back grooming services, they were sooooo thorough and there's nothing like the piece of mind and convenience of having my dogs groomed at their Dr.'s office. My only critique is of the front desk staff, they can be a bit cold, yet they are accurate and professional which I much prefer to warm fuzzies!

Dr. Raja has been taking care of my dogs for many years. Both are cheweenies, one has had a bad back off and on. I know that my dogs are well cared for by Dr. Raja and he has also been very kind to me when I am panicked because my dogs back had flared up again. Dr. Raja is the best!

Dr Raja is amazing! Came from another vet to get a second opion, he agree, but also found a life threatening condition that could have been really bad if it was not addressed. Amazing staff, and always busy which tells you everything. People trust him and he is honest and a fabulous Vet.

Dr. Raja is awesome! It doesn’t matter how busy he is, he takes the time to talk to you and listen to you. Our boy was sick. We were able to get him in the next day. Dr. Raja gave us his diagnosis and put him on a couple of different medications. He told us he would call us on Saturday to see how our boy was doing. And he also said that we should call him on his cell if we had problems. He did call us so we didn’t have to call him. And his diagnosis was spot on and our boy is doing better. We have been through several vets over the last few years. One became corporate and the good vets left. One was fine but because they were good, it was impossible to get an appointment. I don’t see us ever going to another vet after the care our boy has received at Finn Hill Animal Hospital. Their phones stay busy and that can be a challenge but patience pays off and it is always worth it because of their care and compassion.

This place gets our full recommendation!We have a 13 year old cat and a 13 year old reactive Cattle Dog.Everyone is compassionate to our animals. We have had two cat emergencies and both times they fit us in the same day. I appreciate their front desk staff so much. Organized and super kind. The people who work in back are always kind and have been gentle and show their expertise in animal handling.Dr. Raja is a natural with animals. Our reactive pup hates new people but Dr. Raja just took the leash and led him back to the room without any hesitation. Having that confidence around a dog who is anxious and reactive is incredibly helpful.Our cat got a spinal injury, and when he examined her, he demonstrated finding the sore spot, but also empathized with how much she was hurting and apologized to our cat when needing to move things around. He also gives two handed handshakes. Love that.Their rates are very competitive. Dr. Raja has only recommended what he thinks is best and will give you the price and doesn't pressure us when we say we need a day to run our budget to make it fit. I find him smart, competent, and gets straight to the point.A lot of good people, doing good things, and I hope they love working there because we love going when our animals need them.You Guys Rock!
