Veterinarians in Columbia, SC

“Exceptional service, given with compassion and kindness. Thorough examination, I was able to ask all questions without feeling rushed. Reasonable pricing. Highly recommend!”

“I’m always very impressed with this practice! Dr Tomlinson is very knowledgeable and very informative for all our pets (dogs and cats ) care even when it’s not good news. The girls at the front are so helpful and caring.i love this practice!”

“Dr. Lemley is incredible. Both my senior cat and my kitten absolutely loved her. After the experience I had at a veterinary practice after moving, I’m honestly tempted to make the 12-hour drive each way just so my babies can see someone who genuinely cares about them. It’s rare to find that level of compassion and care, and Dr. Lemley truly stands out. Pepper misses all of you 💜”

“Veterinarian Jennifer Ng is Great! The staff is wonderful. She is really good with all animal and is very knowledgeable about Greyhounds. We drive about 40 minutes just to go to her. We highly recommend if you have any further babies to go to Northeast Animal Clinic!
We have White Knoll Veterinarian Hospital just minutes from our house but we didn't feel comfortable with the Vet and the office staff.”

“We had a very positive experience at SCVS. From our initial call, to check out, we were treated with care, concern, and attentiveness. We were able to get the treatment needed for our dog very efficiently. The staff and doctor were excellent. A special thank you to Dr. Kelly, Tamara, and the front desk staff!”

““I had a very good experience at Vetco Total Care. All the staff were very kind and attentive to my dog. The veterinarian explained everything to us patiently and even helped us with the translation into Spanish so that he could perfectly understand the diagnosis and treatment. They made me feel calm and that they really cared about my pet. Thank you very much for your excellent attention. I recommend them!””

“Truly the most incredible vet clinic I have ever been to. I had a short stay in Columbia due to work (6months) and from the time I set my first appointment to the time I left only a few months later, Sandhills had made leaps and bounds in progress with some of my pets chronic issues. Dr. Beard is legitimately the best vet I have ever worked with. He was so patient with my nervous GSD, and extremely knowledgeable on attacking chronic issues with variable treatments to find the best fit for my boy. Their customer service is top notch, always answering the phone and being happy to help. They are extremely transparent and communicative, and on top of everything else, are the most affordable vet clinic I have ever been to. If you want somewhere that the staff treats your babies like their own, meets every case with compassion and expertise, will not charge you and arm and a leg unnecessarily, and makes you feel like part of the clinic family from the first visit, Sandhills vet is your place. I cannot articulate how much I recommend this practice!”

“Midlands Vet Practice is our favorite vet we've ever worked with! After three cities and five vets, I can confidently say we'll be taking our boy to MVP for the rest of his life. They're great people who are great at what they do for a fair price. Quality care, easy to work with, we couldn't ask for more in a vet.”

“We love Gregg Animal Hospital. Wesley has gotten great care since we started with them. Everyone treats as if we are their only client. I can’t say enough about the doctors and the staff.”

“I’ve been bringing my pets here for years and have always had such a positive experience. The entire staff is kind and professional. We’ve seen Dr. Bradley for both our cats and our dog, and she has been absolutely amazing. We’re so grateful for the consistent, compassionate care they provide!”

“If I could give a 100 star rating, I would. Dr. Megan and everyone at this practice took such loving care of our dog, Beau. You could not possibly find a more caring team to take care of your pet’s needs.”

“I love that five points animal clinic is independently owned and not owned by a corporation. Dr Bierman is incredibly smart, patient, knowledgeable, thorough and well spoken. Him and the vet tech have great bedside manners and are very good with dogs. The clinic is always clean and welcoming. The receptionists are friendly and accommodating as well. I would highly recommend making five points animal clinic your vet if you live in Columbia.”

“I had such a great experience with them. Very personable, professional and my 14yr LOVED the nurse who came and brought us the bill. I’ll just say, if it weren’t for this place, I couldn’t help with getting all these kitties fixed. You guys are AMAZING and thank you for what you do!”

“The staff, nurse and veterinarian were very friendly, patient, informative, and caring for the needs of my cat. They earned my trust. I will make The Cat Clinic in Columbia, SC my new caretaker. Thank you!”

“Kim always does a great job with our dog Roscoe! We really appreciate the extra care and time she spends getting it right. He always comes back smelling great as well. Highly recommend!”

“Dr. Weber has taken care of my dogs and cats since the late 1990s. She is an excellent vet, a very good surgeon, and equally compassionate for the animals she cares for and the families who love them. She has shared tears with me when the time has come to free them from pain and struggle. I’m very fortunate to have had such a witness and friend to the animals I’ve loved so much.”

“We travel to this area regularly with our pets and on two occasions several years apart, we have had 2 elderly pets become acutely ill and require care here in a rather emergency-like fashion. The staff here could not have been more accommodating and caring at such a stressful time...open 24/7.”

“Drs Joe and Erin Tremier, the other vets in their practice, as well as their staff members are some of the kindest, most compassionate people I’ve ever dealt with. They’re great, knowledgeable doctors I always knew I could trust. I’ve been taking my dogs to Ambassador Animal Hospital since before they bought the clinic, and stayed with them because I liked them so much. The staff is equally as competent and kind. This week, Dr Joe had to put my precious Schauzer down because she was old and sick. With Covid procedures, I couldn’t go into the office with my dog, had to leave her for him to work her in. He didn’t string me out, examined her and called me promptly to verify what I had felt, that it was time to let her go. He couldn’t have been kinder as I cried on the phone asking him to help her go to sleep. I received the kindest card from the clinic with a personal note from Dr Joe.Not sure I’ll get another dog, but if I do, I will certainly go back to this practice.”

“Dr Erin Trimmier is an exceptionally good veterinary doctor. She is compassionate, extremely patient oriented, caring and highly proficient in animal care. She has a wonderful rapport with owners, listens to and addresses their concerns and keeps owners informed. She treats all animals as if they were her own. Her clinic, Ambassador Animal Hospital, is second to none. I trust her judgement and skills implicitly. I highly recommend her. This recommendation is based not only on past visit to her clinic but on the extraordinary steps she recently took to save our family cat, a process she was personally involved in everyday over the Christmas holiday. She's good; really good.”

“I can't recommend SWAC enough. We first came to them because of their generous urgent care hours. They are open 7 days a week, and late into the evenings during much of the week. We stayed because we were incredibly impressed with the care our pets receive. We have seen and liked every vet in the practice. I have found most of them graduated in their recommendations, offering suggestions for conservative approaches as well as more exploratory ones. When we've needed to get our pets in, they're usually able to see them in 1-2 days. All of the vets and their staff have been great listeners and incredibly gentle with our pets. I have to give a special recognition to Dr. Harris, who we see the most now, and who helped us say goodbye to our beagle mix Violet. He was so gentle with her and with us--showing her affection, listening carefully to our concerns, narrating what we could expect at each stage of the euthanasia process. He knew her background well even though he had not seen her in some time. It was one of the most difficult days of our lives, but Dr. Harris's kindness and respect for Violet's dignity continues to be a source of comfort among otherwise painful memories of that day. I would also recognize Dr. Otis who guided us through a torn CCL with our older dog Luna. He helped us managed her pain and walked us through a more conservative wait and see approach, because we didn't want to put our elderly dog through a surgery she might not need. Under his care, she healed up smoothly in the time-frame he told us to expect. SWAC is expensive--can't sugarcoat that--but the cost of care is well worth it for the quality and compassion of these vets and their staff. Bonus: a separate, quieter wing for cats! Our cat has never had an easier vet experience. Also: we've been impressed with their pandemic precautions. They did full curbside service for the first 18 months, and since had placed people and pets in rooms right away. All business including settling up is done in the room, and as of Nov. 2022, if they see you enter the practice with a mask, their people mask up around you too.”

“Literally the best animal clinic in Columbia. Dr. Weber is an angel and saved my dog's life when I thought she was nearing the end. Cannot recommend enough!”

“Had excellent experiences with 4 Paws when I lived in Columbia.
2.5 years later I called in to get records for my cat and it only took about 30 seconds. Thank you 4 Paws staff!

4 Paws is very well organized, extremely efficient and staff are friendly and empathetic.
This place is well worth your time and investment. They are wonderful 👍”

“We have been bringing our dog her e for more than 7 years!! The veterinarian and her staff are amazing! They always take the time to listen to any issues/ concerns that we have with our fur baby ( corgi). Our corgi loves coming and is comfortable with the services and calming atmosphere.”

“Dr. Ng is so wonderful with our greyhound that we drive an hour to see her. She spends time, and gives us options with prices so we can stay within our fixed budget. My husband is retired and our Gigi is his companion and motivation to go for walks every day. We want Gigi to be happy and healthy and Dr. Ng makes sure that is possible. Thank you!”

“We took one of our cats to see Dr. Griffin for the first time. She provided a prompt diagnosis and compassionate care. The staff is wonderful. Each person at Griffin Animal Hospital exhibits a desire to care my pet and make me feel valued as a customer.”

“We just moved to the area. Found Pet Friends Veterinary Clinic. It was the best decision we ever made. Bringing our two pups to the clinic. The whole staff is welcoming, caring, and was so wonderful with our pups. I wouldn't take them anywhere else.”

“Dr. Griffin is a truly compassionate and thorough veterinarian. I appreciate her straightforward and thoughtful approach in explaining issues and treatment plans for my pets. The staff have always been welcoming and courteous.
I am perplexed by the recent negative review of Kim Boxley. It seems odd that if she had concerns with the care at Griffin Animal Hospital over the course of two years, why she would not explore other options for the care of her dog.
Anxiety is a disorder that presents in different situations and perhaps did not present in the dog's visit to the groomer. From indicated in the review, the dog had a history of panic attacks during car rides and sometimes a better option is not to take our furry family members with us on car trips. And, it can take time to figure out the proper medication and dosage to treat anxiety. Dr. Griffin does refer to specialists when an animal has a special or unusual medical problem. Also, without performing a necropsy, there is no way to definitively know the cause of death.
Through the years and with many pets, I have used several local veterinarians where I never experienced the level of care that I have from my many years at Griffin Animal Hospital.
I have been in the horse industry for over forty years. I have worked with many world -renowned large animal veterinarians and clinics across the country, including Hagyard- McGee in Kentucky and New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania. The care and communication from these clinics and veterinarians is exemplary.
Dr. Griffin is equally as impressive and she is ALWAYS accessible. She has called me on weekends to give test results and even spoke with me on the telephone as my beloved, Edgar Alan Purr, was in an emergency care clinic.
I have never had a veterinarian call me after the loss of a pet and I think it is more appropriate to send a sympathy card. It is emotional for the pet owner and our veterinarians are human and pet owners as well. Not receiving a telephone call is not indicative of the lack of sympathy.
I highly recommend Dr. Griffin and feel grateful that my kitties, Circe and Piper are under her care. My mother's kitties, Aesop and Artemis, have also thrived under her care.
I cannot imagine a more thorough and caring veterinarian than Dr. Griffin.
Thank you to all of the staff at Griffin Animal Hospital!”

“Dr. Gianna and the staff here are one of the greatest resources for active duty and retired veterans fur family members. Their prices are very low, and they don’t try to upsell any services not needed.”
