VCA Animal Specialty Center of South Carolina

.

Our longhaired dachshund was rehabilitated after disc surgery.  Samantha and Jo, the physical therapists, did a wonderful job getting our little guy back on his feet and he is close to 100%.  And Dr. Waschak, the general surgeon, did an excellent repair on his bilateral hernias.  Everyone at the clinic treated us and our little dog like family.  They all were great.  Definitely miss visiting with all of them.
We would definitely use them again and recommend them highly.

Perfect. They are excellent. Expensive, but well worth it for a member of the family like our Boykin

They are in a huge building, like a hospital, that serves as the emergency place that you can take pets at night or on weekends. They charge a little bit more. The checkup wasn't too much, I think $60.00. I will admit that the episodes that my cat has had have been close to $1000. She has congestive heart failure and so she had had overnight oxygen. She has had EKGs and sonograms. She's had medicine. All kinds of stuff to make sure that she is getting really good treatment. I took her into the emergency service the first time. It was at night the first time but at 8:00 it changes from emergency services to just the veterinarian services. She has a cardiologist there and an internist. They have all the specialties that you have for humans at that place. They saved her life 3 times. Having the individual doctors is something I enjoy about them. Yes, it does cost but you know that they have had extra training in whatever it is that their specialty is. They have all the equipment to run any kind of test. I've not had to use it but I know that they treat quite a bit of cancer. They have a cancer specialist. They have a really good lab that they can do all the work that they need to do. The receptionists are very courteous and very knowledgeable and really keep you up with what is going on with the pets. It's all done very much like a human hospital. A tremendous amount of care is taken there. My cat's heart doctor, while she was there, even called me a couple of times to let me know how she was doing.

He is not just a general vet. He is a surgeon. He is a fine young man. I can't say enough about him saving my dog for me. He is so good to deal with and he is so caring. He went above the call of duty. I credit a lot to him.

Overall, my visit there was a total waste of my time and my $398.00. I was there 3 1/2 hours and it is a hour trip each way to get there. Since I had to use my vacation time from work in order to take my cat there, it was also a waste of my vacation time.
