I don't know why I waited so long to write this review. Last summer during a visit to Charleston, the team here literally saved our beloved Beagle's life. The doctors were able to diagnose a relatively obscure chronic illness (Addison's) based on his symptoms and subsequent tests. As soon as they started treating Biggles, the recovery was incredibly fast. After his first night there, he was like his old self again. It was nothing short of a miracle, and we have never been so relieved! And now, at 8.5 years old, he's like a ... read more
We just went back for a follow up to the procedure we had done last month. Everything was excellent from that but while we were there we were talking about our cats kidney disease. We had them run a full panel on her blood. That turned up some concerns. Her potassium was dangerously low. They gave us option to take her home and administer a program or admit her and they would. We had them keep her and get her levels right. These people are fantastic. Dr Welch and her team are great. She is the most knowledgeable ve... read more
My Boxer was spewing blood at "that" end while on our nightly neighborhood walk. Of course it was at 7 pm! I was referred to this place by a friend who said they were trustworthy. No waiting, took my baby directly to be examined while the Vet Tech asked me a handful of quality questions. Everyone was super nice. Vet took his time explaining what was going on & what to watch for. They didn't want to wrack up unnecessary expenses or unneeded X-rays etc. Told me what they thought it was (Colitis from stress & recent move) ga... read more
Absolutely wonderful after hours emergency doctors and staff! Everyone is very helpful and friendly. They never rushed me with my questions and decisions, and despite what you might expect, everything was reasonably priced. They even called over the next few days to check on Legend, and spoke with his regular vet about his condition. Should you ever be in need of an emergency vet, this is your place!
The facility speaks for itself. Top notch doctors, staff and equipment. Cannot recommend enough!
After coming here and experiencing the wonderful staff and vets, I will no longer be taking my dogs to their current vet office. They have everything you need and would expect when you're forced to face an emergency situation with your child (pet?). They have a keurig, free wifi, free phone chargers, water, and of course, TV. Their staff is amazing and so kind. They are all so thoughtful and patient and caring and I can't say enough about them. It's so refreshing especially coming from W Ash Vets, who are nothing but rude an... read more
I highly recommend this center. I have brought 4 dogs to this team of skilled veterinarians and each time our pups went in ill and came out in tip top shape. The place is very clean and the most professional vet I have ever seen. I especially like that everyone there genuinely cares for the animals and will go everything necessary to ensure excellent medical care of your pup. On July 12th I brought my rescue pup Ozzy there in poor condition and he left there a new happy and healthy pup. :) Dr. Torres and Dr. Welch were his ... read more
I cannot say enough good things about Oncologist, Dr. Kerry Rissetto, and her assistant, Suzanne. My dobie, Dutch, was diagnosed with lymphoma. He was seen by Dr. Rissetto 1 to 2 times a week for 3 months. She was completely upfront about the process, truly cared about him, and easily accessible (even on a Saturday evening). When none of the chemo treatments could prevent the cancer, they came to my home to euthanize. He was comfortable (in his surroundings and with the people he knew) and in his own bed when he passed... read more
Long story short CVRC and Dr. King saved my 5.5 year old Boykin Spaniel's life. He was experiencing paralysis of his hind legs and our regular vet was unable to diagnose the problem. After performing a spinal tap he was diagnosed with e-coli. Dr. King and the CVRC staff were amazing. Our dog had to spend several nights there and they were so accommodating. We came to visit him every day, sometimes twice a day, and they never minded. They fully understood that our dog is a member of the family. Dr. King was also aware of the ... read more
