SUNRISE ANIMAL HOSPITAL

The Sunrise Animal Hospital is a good one. We moved and so we had to find a vet and some people were already familiar with the vet and recommended it, and so I did go and I'm also liking going there. Steve Cohen is the veterinarian. They just were really exceptional on price and then service and friendliness. That's a good vet in the Taylors, South Carolina area. I'm paying $280 and that was really good. Previously, I was paying $400 plus to get my dog's teeth cleaned. That was like $450 the last time. So, the average of 400 bucks at the other vet and this guy is $280, so it's really good, and that was with anesthesia. He also has good reviews if you go online. He himself cleaned the teeth instead of a dental tech. At other place, you don't meet the dental tech. You don't know if you get the vet there's a whole cleaning, but this guy did. So, I like that aspect of it also.

The Dr. was very personable and thorough and very "tuned in" to both the my 14 year old beagle and me. Most pleasant vet visit.

It went GREAT! Dr. Steve is very gentle with his patients and it's obvious that he loves all animals.

This is one of the best veterinarians we have ever used. He is always willing to do whatever is needed for the animal.

Dr. Colquhoun is wonderful with my dogs. He's kind and gentle, compassionate, uses common sense in drawing my younger dog out of her shell...she's a bit timid at first when we enter the exam room, even when it's not her turn to be examined...rather than treating her like a child instead of a dog. Actually, this last time was my older dog's turn for the exam and my younger one was not as "shy" as she usually is...she didn't hide in the corner this time. The older dog is very exhuberant when it comes to people...she doesn't care if you're a vet or not...so she's always friendly and self-confident. The younger one wants to be able to "sniff you out" before she lets you pet her (once she accepts you, though, she's as friendly as the older one).
When he draws blood, he does it in such a way that it does not hurt the animal; and he tells the owner/pet parent (or "guardian") ahead of time why he is drawing blood. Once he gets the results back, he calls to advise of the results and if necessary schedules another appointment to discuss the results/treatment options.
My older dog has some arthritis in her hip, and Dr. Colquhoun always checks that hip first (after the initial "greeting") to get a feel as to whether or not there has been a change for the worse. He asks questions about how often I give her the pain medication, whether or not she appears to have difficulty walking, running, playing, jumping, etc. He also gives her a quick massage on that hip before he continues the exam.
