Last week I had to bring my guinea pig, Kirby, to the vet for the first time. He had been peeing what appeared to be blood for about a week. I l ive right by University of Pennsylvania Animal Hospital-one of the best in the country, but of course incredibly expensive. I am a grad student on a budget, so unless it is an emergency, Id prefer to travel a little further for a good vet if the prices are more reasonable. I took Kirby to the Hopewell Veterinary Hospital in Jenkintown, PA. The staff was friendly, including the receptionists and the vet technician. I saw Dr. Rutkowski, one of the FEW vets outside UPenn who actually specialize in small/exotic pets. He was very good with Kirby and you could clearly see that he enjoys working with small animals. He took his time to look Kirby over and listened to what I had to say regarding my observations over the past week. Dr. Rutkowski explained to me different avenues we could take and I chose the more conservative approach first, taking into account my grad student budget. He completely understood and did not force me into costly procedures right off the bat. The bill was a fair and budget-friendly price, especially considering the positive experience that I had. Kirby is currently on antibiotics and seems to be doing well! I highly recommend Hopewell Animal Hospital for other guinea pig parents in the Philly area.

Scheduled to just get a rabies shot for my dog. Verified cost with person on phone as $22. Arrived at appt. and left waiting. Started wondering if I was going to have to pay for exam as well, which my dog didnt need. I asked desk person. What I had feared was true...only doctor could give him his shot per desk person and had to charge $50 (prices went up) for exam, which my dog didnt need. I canceled appt. and left. Wont return there again. Had been happy there before this visit. Maybe someone else is running this vet office more like a business rather than healthcare for animals. I donated a ton of clean towels for the office. I wish I had given them to SPCA now.

I would not recommend Dr. Rutkowski for rabbits. I brought my bun to see him for an oozing, sticky fluid coming out of my bunnys eyes. The medicine he gave me ($58) did not work. I needed to find another Vet at which time an eye culture was taken, and the culture came back positive for MRSA! Dr. Rutkowski should have taken this route, and cultured his eyes. He was put on different eye drops plus an oral med, and the situation cleared up. And may I say that the second round of drops and oral med were less expensive than the med that Dr. Rutkowski put him on....which did not work.

We have a border collie who is afraid of people. She chased a squirrel 2 years ago and broke her leg. We took her to our old vet and were told she needed surgery at CARES in Langhorne and would cost about $4000. We had 2 kids in college and could not afford this. A friend recommended Dr. Rutkowski and Hopewell. We went there. He did the surgery for a lot less and she is running and playing now with no problem. She also likes going to the vet. She runs across the parking lot to get inside. She didnt do this at the last vet. We recommend Dr. Rutkowski and Hopewell.

I brought my 4 and a half year old budgie for a check up because she seemed lethargic and had diarrhea. The front office staff was so nice and welcoming. Dr. Rutkowski was so gentle and kind with my budgie, and was not at all impatient when I asked him A LOT of questions. He took the time to answer me thoroughly and tell me exactly what was going on, and what steps will be taken next. I walked in a nervous wreck and left completely at ease. I highly recommend Hopewell.

Weve been going to Hopeful for about 12 years now, with our current dog as well as our former dog. With our former dog we went through two other vets in the area. We had small problems with each. Zero problems with Hopewell. Dr. Rutkowski is great -- hes the vet we know best -- and the techs and receptionists are great too. Everybody is caring and competent. We recommend Hopewell to our friends and neighbors, and I cant recommend them highly enough here.

I was with my last vet for 15 years. Very unhappy, Hopewell fell in my lap. It has been awhile since the vet was a great expirence. The dr was WONDERFUL. He cared about my dogs and that felt good. I will continue to follow up with them. Very happy to have finally found comfort with my vet. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HOPEWELL TO THOSE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CARES FOR YOUR PET. THANK YOU

Inna loves pugs

I have been with Hopewell for 4 years and loved every minute of it. The staff was really nice and we even got our little baby there. When she died Hopewell was very simpletic, and the whole staff knew who she was when I carried her in. I felt like I had support and care around me. I will never go anywhere else but Hopewell!

The staff here are extremely caring and loving. You can tell they love animals and its not just another animal for them. I love it here. The medical care my dog receives here is very good. I take her here for her checkups and whenever I have a question they are always professional and very informative. Thank you Hopewell.

The vets and staff here are amazing. They are polite, helpful and knowledgeable. And most of all they listen, answer questions patiently and simply "get" animals (and their people).

We love Hopewell for our two dogs! Dr. Rutkowski is gentle and takes his time examining and speaking to the owners. Staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable too! Highly recommend!

Hopewell is a wonderful animal hospital. We have been taking our dogs there for years. I cannot say enough about the doctors and employees. Wonderful care without over charging.

Caring doctors, supportive staff, reasonable prices and multiple options. Theres not much more we need to ask for from a health care provider, for people and pets alike.
