Goose Creek Vet Clinic

My sister-​in-​law brought her laboring mom canine in because one of her pups got stuck in the birth canal during delivery. The doctors and staff were able to safely and efficiently deliver all the pups through emergency Caesarian section at a cost effective level. Mom and babies went home sooner than what is medically advised due to financial reasons, but this staff worked tirelessly and outside of normal operating hours to ensure mom and pups received all the necessary care (and then some!) even with finances as a key factor. Thank you, all, for your tremendous compassion for the patients. I have no doubt that you have every pet as the priority in mind.

I am new to the Charleston area and was looking for a new vet for all of my animals. My bearded dragon (Zeus) has not been eating right and I suspected some pin worms. So I brought him in to be checked. I had s bit of a wait time, which is not good when you are in a cold waiting room with a lizard who needs to be kept warm. They were all very apologetic about the wait though. All of the staff was very friendly! Dr. Birch. (I think that was her name) was very kind and sweet and treated my Zeus like her own. She was very gentle with him and he didn’t mind her at all. He did come back with some pin worms and I was given some medication and some special food. The care I received from EVERYONE there, the gentleness with my beardie, and the price. I will be coming back and bringing my other pets here as well. My pets mean the world to me and I feel safe and confident bringing them here. Thank you for the wonderful experience and for helping Zeus!

I called today for an estimate for Cat Declawing… $ 600. Are you kidding me? Never in my life have I had an estimate for this much I’ve had plenty of cats and never paid over $ 250. You guys are a rip off…

After reading the Google reviews, I chose to take my dog here since they received 5 stars. I was not impressed at all. They told me on the phone I had 22 min to get there for my appointment and then they took me in a half hour after my appointment time. The vet tech was nice, but the dr did not seem interested at all. He gave me his thoughts and then bounced. I spent more time waiting than talking to anyone. Then during check out I was using my care credit card and had an issue with it being frozen so I had to call them which took over 20 min. The two people at the front desk saw me struggling to hold on to my puppy that I just rescued from being tied to a cinder block and didn’t even offer to help so I could settle the payment issue
Then there was a young women and her daughter in the waiting room with their cat that were there before I got in and when I left. As I was paying she asked how much longer did she have to wait for her test results and the front desk said she didn’t need to wait at all. So she was sitting there for over an hour and they just let her sit there. She was upset and voiced her concern. Once she left, the front desk staff started talking about her and acting rude and unprofessional.
I won’t be coming back. When I pick a vet clinic I expect them to love animals equal to me or more. I didn’t get that feeling at all here.

I would recommend this clinic to people just moving here, looking for a new vet or to someone passing through that runs into a problem. The staff and doctors are all fantastic with the patients and their guardians. They understand that the guardians know their pet the best by seeing them everyday. That knowledge is taken into account when diagnosing and just in general dealing with the patient. They will also try to keep things is cost effective for the guardian as possible.
Very client oriented. I am disabled making it very difficult for me to walk. The staff will come out to get a cat carrier or a dog leash, help you while at the clinic and they will gladly help you back to the vehicle afterwards.
** Update — Dr Davis probably just saved my 13 year old kitty’s life. I took her in for what I mistook as severe allergies. Dr Davis found a growth in her nose which turned out to be a very aggressive fungus that, left untreated, could have reached her brain killing her. She was referred to a surgeon, the growth was removed and she is on the road to recovery.
A huge thank you to GCVC for everything!

Called as a new client with a new frog that was injured. The staff got me an appointment the same day. Dr. Brown took care of the little guy and answered all of my questions and went over everything to ensure I knew how to treat the injury at home. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The price was great too. Excellent service at a fair price… what else could you ask for?

My cat had an eye infection. My neighbor recommended the practice to me.
I’m glad I went there. I was able to get an appointment quickly.
HOWEVER: When I got there, phone calls from (Other patients NOT in the room) took precedence over me and my cat (who WERE in the room)
When I HAD my doctor’s attention, it was good.
However, the operative word is «attentive»
Doctors, the most important being is the patient. You should know this by now.
That being said, I trust your expertise.

Very accommodating staff. Awesome facility! Dr. Brown is great. So are all of her technicians! Affordable, compassionate, and friendly.
I have two Golden Retrievers and a Pomeranian and they LOVE all of my ‘boys’.
They always seem to have room for my last minute indecisiveness and welcome me with a huge smile every time I go there.
Beautiful (human) staff too! Not that I noticed!
On Redbank Road. One mile east of Hwy 52. Near Goose Creek High School and the Naval Weapons Station.
Go get spoiled-​like I did!

I would not trust them with my pets again. It started about 6 weeks ago. My 14 year old cat was not eating as much as he had been. I took him up there and told them that I think he might have a bad tooth. They checked him out (full exam with blood work) and said he had a couple of bad teeth that needed to come out. A k-​9 and one maybe 2 in the back. The blood work came back good so we made the appointment to have the dental. I droped the cat off, a few hours later they called and told me the cat was waking up and did well. I picked him up at about 5pm. The tech was going over what they did, she told me they pulled 7 teeth. I was not happy. Why was I not informed? I delt with it and took him home. He was doped up but eating a lot over the next few days. Then it started, he ate less and less as each day went buy. A week later I carried him for a follow up, they said that everything was fine and that he had lost a pound but she expected this. Just keep him on his meds and he would be fine. Well over the next few days he ate less and less. I called the vet and then took him back. They said the meds were upsetting his stomach. They gave him a shot and said to give him pepcid. Tried this, nothing. Still not eating, and still loosing weight. To make a long story short, After a dozen phone calls and more trips to the vet 4 weeks later they said lets run the blood work again. So we did. He was now anemic, and they now find a mass in his gi track. He started having trouble breathing so I had no choice but to put him down at this time.
The thing that upsets me is why was the 2^nd blood work not done sooner, like when he stopped eating. When my wife took the cat up there for his 3^rd trip, the vet just said that «the cat looked good and from what your husband said, I was expecting to see a sick cat.» The dr. that did the blood work was off when the result came back. I had to call 4 times before I could talk to someone to tell me what was going on. I put him to sleep that evening. His dr. came back the next day, never called, never sent a card, nothing. I guess they figure that my cat is dead and there is no more money to be made from me so whats the point.
The thing is I told them many many times «I dont care how much it cost, I have the money!» but they still didnt do the tests in time.
This vet will never see me or any of my pets agian.
If you do go there, Good Luck, and I hope you have a better experience than I did.
Dr. Lerma, the Dr that finally found the mass and had to put my cat down did send a very nice, hand written sympathy card. If you must go to this vet, he is the only one that I would see.

Very disappointing practice. Appointments are required unless you have an emergency. Understandable but ***each time*** we’ve had a scheduled appointment, it’s been close to an hour before we’ve been seen. Dr. Constantine is obviously an inexperienced vet and seemed afraid of our large dogs. In most cases, when one is so significantly delayed, you’d think that they would spend some time trying to answer any of your questions but she walked out while I was mid-​sentence to deal with yet another emergency. The vet techs are sweet and kind but overall, it’s a frustrating experience to use this vet.
