Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that High Ridge Animal Hospital is a 2019 award winner for veterinarians in Connecticut!

If you’re looking for compassionate, professional veterinary care in Stamford, look no further than High Ridge Animal Hospital.

High Ridge Animal Hospital has received hundreds of reviews with an average rating of 4.94 stars, earning them a phenomenal Rating Score™ of 97.44 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five veterinarians in all of Connecticut!

Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“We have been bringing our dogs to High Ridge Animal Hospital for over 20 years. The staff are some of the most caring people you can ask for. They treat your animals like they are their own, and they advise you on treatments, or not, accordingly. They are very informative, and I must say that, over the years, we have been bringing our dogs there, and I have received quite an education. If you love your animals, I don’t believe you can find a better place for them for treatment and boarding.” – Skip A.

Not Your Average Veterinary Hospital

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Michelle Miller, Hospital Manager of High Ridge Animal Hospital.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Michelle about what makes High Ridge Animal Hospital unique compared to the many other veterinary hospitals in Connecticut. Michelle pointed to their atmosphere and culture, and said:

“We also do a lot of community outreach; we participate in Bark in the park and help rescues and abused animals with free check-ups and exams to help them get adopted into good families.”

We also asked Michelle about the High Ridge Animal Hospital mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“The mission of High Ridge Animal Hospital is to provide quality veterinary services to our clients and community. Our commitment to high standards and continuous quality improvement is evidenced by: recruiting and retaining excellent staff; affiliating with renowned institutions and specialists; communicating with our clients to improve our services in response to their needs; keeping on top of today’s and tomorrow’s technology and education (no matter how fast it moves) to ensure our patients always have the best tools available to them, and finally, to promote wellness, relieve suffering and pain, and to restore health as swiftly, safely, and humanely as it can be done while practicing veterinary medicine in adherence to the Veterinarian’s Oath.”

Building Success With the Right Staff

Michelle credits High Ridge Animal Hospital’s strong online reputation to their staff:

“We’ve had doctors here for over 30 years. We really care about our staff and treat them all with respect. In terms of the reviews, we use Demandforce to reach out to our patients after they have an appointment asking them about their experience.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, High Ridge Animal Hospital has grown through DemandForce and by posting pictures of puppies and animal memes on Facebook.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Michelle’s expert advice for them:

“Be consistent. Be truthful. Be transparent. Show them you care.”


Congratulations to High Ridge Animal Hospital for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Michelle, for taking the time to speak with us!
