Savannah Veterinary Emergency Clinic

I have to say I been to this vet a few time over the years. When my american bull dog had cancer in his heart. We always seem to arrive when Dr. Janet was on duty. She is the most outstanding vet at this place. Not that she has an easy job what so ever. She is the must understand person I ever met, you can tell she puts here heart in her job. I love her.
Now I am not going to lie I have seen other vets at this same place who I will be renameless but you can tell they want the money and offer expanse opportunity, that are not needed. Just listen to them and ask a thousand and one questions, to the vet techs and the doctor, you can pretty much read between the lines and get the truth.
I know what ever reason you have to come here is stressful. Hang in there.

I’m a little late in giving my review but nonetheless. I took my 6yo German Shepherd here after being bit by what they think was a cotton mouth on her back leg (june 2015). Dr Goldberg was fantastic and they had her back for a work up and anti venom before I could even complete the paperwork. He was great about explaining everything and (trying) to ease my anxiety. Today, minus a small healing necrotic area on her leg, she’s back to normal! Very grateful!

As another reviewer said, they are the only ²⁴⁄₇ vet around. With that, they are able to charge whatever they want. My puppy got into the trash and used my husband’s discarded gillette fusion razor as a chew toy and swallowed 3 of the blades on a Friday at 11:40. We rushed her to this clinic and paid an after hour fee, a weekend fee, and weekend boarding fee for the surgery when they opened her up to remove the razors. In all, we paid about $ 2,000 for their service. It kinda sucks that we had to pay all the weekend and after hour fees when it’s open ²⁴⁄₇. But in the end it’s worth it because they did help fix our problem and Daisy is worth every single cent.

I’m going to have to say that I didn’t experience the bad service that everyone else has gotten. Mine was quite the opposite. My dog, tyson hasn’t been feeling good for couple of days now. Its Memorial Weekend and my regular vet is closed till Wed and I have become concerned that tyson wasn’t feeling any better. Around 10:30 that Sunday nite, I noticed that a rash had broken out all over tyson’s belly. So I decided to take him in to the Emergency clinic to be seen. Amy who was working up front was so sweet and understanding. She talked to me and listened to all my concerns. She looked tyson over and gave me some good advice. She bent over backwards to help me. I was so glad they were there to help us. Thank you Amy for being so helpful.

After a long and traumatic day at the regular vet with my dog needing blood transfusions, fluids, and a lot of love/​hope from others to pull through he needed to be monitored and remain stabilized through out the night.
My regular vet left me with a sense that he needed to be taken care of urgently. When I arrived at the E clinic there was no urgency. I stood at the front desk waiting for someone to even ask me if I needed help for about 15 minutes. I stood there and watched a vet tech make a personal call before helping me.
They finally took my dog back, and I gave them the notes from the day that my vet had provided. When I was taken back into a room to talk to the vet she began criticizing the work that my vet had done for the dog all day. She was doubting the validity of the procedures done and their relevance to the diagnosis that was given to my dog.
Furthermore the vet tech continued to tell me similar things. Finally my vet came in to check on Ferris and see how he was doing. After going back to see the dog He took me aside and told me that he wasn’t pleased with how they are treating him.
The vet tech continued to tell me that he didn’t know what he was talking about right before I was about to agree to the payment of $ 750 to keep my dog there over night. She also told me that she would strongly suggest that I transfer him over to the vet clinic that exists there during the day, because they simply know what they are doing but there is a $ 500 dollar starting rate. This is ridiculous and extremely uncomfortable. She told me «if I wanted to do the right thing I would transfer him to their vet clinic in the morning. .. »
I feel as this put me in an extremely uncomfortable situation. And it was unethical for them to share with me their opinions of one another. interestingly enough what the vet at the emergency clinic was doubting about the procedures from my regular vet she actually performed through out the night. Quite the contradiction.
Needles to say I picked him up in the morning looking pretty bad, drove him over to my regular vet and within 8 hours my regular vet was able to get him to a point where he was able to come home.

They say this clinic is the only ²⁴⁄₇ game in town.
With that being said, if my dog fell ill on a Sunday, I’d give her the courtesy of allowing her to die at home, rather than to take her here.
The staff are cold, callous and lack even the slightest illusion of bedside manner.
What’s more, is that based on my own experience, and those of others that I’ve talked to, the fatality rate amongst patients of this clinic seems awfully high.
More like a slaughter house, than a vet’s office.
