Veterinarians in Charlotte

“This place is wonderful. We were able to pre check in and they saw us immediately after we arrived. Very attentive to our cat (Chanel) in a prompt and professional manner explaining the diagnosis and treatment plan.
Highly recommend them to treat all your fur babies concerns.“

“Merlot had gastrointestinal surgery due to a blockage. This surgery was done at Wilkinson Animal Hospital and he received excellent care there, however he needed an overnight stay at a 24 hour hospital. He was transferred to VEG and from the moment we arrived it was evident this was a different type of Emergency vet care. First, pets and pet parents are not sequestered away, and pets are not taken off to a treatment area away from their family. Merlot did excellent with all the other animals who were there getting treated. There was a rabbit, a chinchilla, a cat, and several dogs of a variety of sizes and breeds and injuries and illnesses. Astonishingly, they all seemed to understand that this was a special place. There was no barking or reactivity. Just quiet observation from treatment area to treatment area.

Merlot seemed much less traumatized getting his various lab draws and is IV placed. He was curious, but such a good boy.

I was encouraged to stay if I wanted to, but I needed to go home and rest so I could be ready to take care of him. I was also assured that I could call if I needed/wanted to check in on him, but that if there was any change they would call me. I called about 2:30 am and got an update. The doctor called me about 6:30 am with an update and a time that my baby would be discharged. Throughout the process everyone worked to make sure that my furrbaby was top priority with his care team and that I got the support I needed to be his best Hooman Mom.

“Customer service was excellent. When we meet the vet she made us feel confident in her treatment. definitely will retune if needed.“

“My two dogs (a rescued pitbull and a pit mix) usually see Dr. Wood or Dr. Williams and have always had positive experiences.)That’s why I was surprised and disappointed with a recent visit with Dr. Elizabeth Brown for my foster dog, Armani, a 1-year-old pitbull rescue. Armani is very sweet, though he can be excitable and nervous during exams. While Dr. Brown did examine him, I felt the interaction could have been more welcoming and supportive. She did not greet or introduce herself at the start, and her demeanor seemed uncomfortable with Armani’s energy. During the exam, when he was moving around, she audibly expressed frustration by saying “ugh, ugh” and even commented that her back would hurt if she had to keep trying, before sitting on the bench usually meant for clients. These kinds of remarks made the situation feel more stressful rather than calming. She also kept mentioning that Armani “needs a lot of work” and suggested that a certain treatment option might make him “more aggressive.” I have to note he showed zero aggression. And he’s gone a long way since I got him at the shelter, which I made sure to mention. When I asked if she meant “edgy” or “nervous,” not “aggressive” she quickly backtracked, but by then the tone of the visit felt discouraging and gave me the impression of an unfair bias against his breed. As a foster parent, I work hard to help Armani feel safe and cared for, and I hope that all veterinarians he sees can support that effort with patience and compassion. Small changes in communication, such as a warm greeting, clearer explanations, and more positive reinforcement, would go a long way in building trust with both pets and owners, especially with breeds that often face stigma. I share this feedback not to criticize, but in the hope it can be helpful. I know Piper Glen has wonderful staff (including Sienna who was very sweet and kind to Armani) and I want Armani (and other pets like him) to receive the same respectful, supportive care I’ve always experienced here with my other dogs.“

“They are always caring and kind. I appreciate that they take time to explain procedures or medications that are needed.“

“They are amazing! And super receptive, I loved the doctor who attended Luna, and the attendants are incredibly attentive and lovely, we will definitely become new customers of this clinic.“

“I always have an amazing experience here and so do my pets. Caroline was so so sweet to my girl when I brought her there. They made her feel so loved and comfortable. 10/10 recommend this animal hospital!!“

“Very Friendly and caring staff. And I definitely wouldn’t take out anywhere else. Absolutely the best“

“I brought my dog, Holly, to see Dr. Hreiz for a leg injury. Everyone was so friendly and gentle with Holly, who gets extremely nervous at the vet. Dr. Hreiz took the time to explain everything to me and he and Olivia were so patient with her, giving her lots of pets and treats! Holly’s favorite person by far was Jules! They were SO sweet to her and she just loved them❤️“

“The Vet was very attentive to my cats needs and was very gentle while examining him.

They followed up with me the next day .
I would totally recommend this clinic for your pets needs .

“Dr. Barnes rocked! She was very sweet and professional. She even had her kids at work when I was there with all the crazy weather we had and school closings yet still did a great job. She was complimentary of my dog. Even the little things she did like kneel down to get to eye level with me while I was sitting on the bench go a long way. My pup and I are looking forward to our next visit with Dr. Barnes!“

“Amazing staff and veterinarians who truly care! Dr. Magelinski was wonderful with my dog, Dixie—making her feel safe, explaining everything clearly, and providing top-notch care. I wouldn’t trust my fur babies anywhere else!“

“Thank you to Dr. Wheelock, Megan, Ashley, and the team for making our first visit such a pleasant and seamless experience. Dr. Wheelock was attentive, informative and took his time with us. We never once felt rushed which I really appreciate. It’s clear how passionate he and the team are! Left feeling relieved about some lingering uncertainties and much more confident moving forward, which means a great deal. We'll be back!“

“Dr. Richar is one of the most compassionate, professional and kind veterinarians you will ever meeting. She showed extraordinary patience and guidance with my senior parents when they had to make the decision to put down their beloved dog of 15 years. It is impossible to convey the peace my parents felt on such a sad day because of the care and kindness displayed by Dr. Richar, and her team, Yader and Pam. If you need a veterinarian to care for your family pet, Dr. Richar can't be recommended enough by our family.“

“The Vet and assistants are so kind and attentive! They take great care of our 2 cats, and do a great job of guiding us through their diagnosis and treatment options“

“I can't say enough good things about the people here and the hospital! They were so thorough with my very sick young cat. They're looking into all what can be causing her problems. I'm so happy I was referred here for help. The tech and dr spent so much time discussing her problem,testing.,explaining everything and ask8 if I had any questions. Thank you so much for everything for my fur baby. I finally feel she'll be on the road to recovery soon !“

“Dr. Moses is a wealth of knowledge and is willing to share that in order to help you understand what is going on with your kitty kid. I love that she has dedicated her life's work to Cat care and she is excellent at it. You can't go wrong in entrusting your kitty's health to her and her practice members.“

“Thankfully we don’t have to visit often, but we always have had a great experience when we do. We had a bit of an urgent situation that they were able to get us in for. I was comfortable with Dr. Wes knowing he listened to my concerns and was able to rule some things out, while also making sure my dog was physically comfortable throughout her exam and tests. I’m not sure of the front desk associate and vet tech names that I interacted with, but they were just as pleasant. Dr. Wes even called later in the week to follow up on how she was doing. Those small things mean a lot to pet owners. Thank you all, again!“

“I can't say enough about how caring and empathetic the folks at this place are. I'm newish to Charlotte and hadn't found a vet yet but my sick dog needed to be seen. I did not receive good news about his health and while giving us this news Dr. Pressley sat on the floor with us and gave us the sad news, explained it in detail, and shot it to us straight which I really appreciate. We had to make the devastating decision to go back a couple days later so they could help our dog pass peacefully and Dr. Skinner helped us that day. She was so sweet and kind. I feel like the doctors and the staff treated us like we had been patients for years. The compassion they all had was really heartwarming. This was a terrible time but everyone I encountered was extremely kind. I appreciate them so much!“

“My fur baby and I (Bobbi) just moved to Charlotte and have been looking for a vet. I am very particular about where I send Bobbi because he can get so scared.

Uptown vet was amazing. It was very easy to make an appointment. They are all so sweet and professional and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Jenn was amazing and explained everything to me. Bobbi did great and didn't want to leave. If you love your dog like it is your own child, I would not trust anyone else but Uptown Vet Hospital with your baby. They are amazing!“

“I switched to Cotswold Animal Hospital for my 2 dogs this year and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provide. The vets and all staff have been so kind and friendly-they really care about my dogs having a comfortable and positive experience. It has been easy to get appointments for problem focused and well care visits, and we have gotten in and out without long wait times. The office runs very efficiently and I love being able to request appointments online with a timely response. I appreciate that the vets don’t immediately jump to doing a bunch of tests and procedures immediately when one of the dogs has a problem-one of my dogs recently had an issue and Dr.May recommended watchful waiting. This saved my girl a painful procedure and me money because the problem resolved without any need for treatment. I highly recommend this practice!

Update 4/7/23
I continue to love this Vet practice and their approach to the pets and parents they serve. The sweet front desk staff, the vet techs/assistants, and the vets all work together to make our visits as stress free as possible. We were worked in for an urgent visit on a very busy day and we felt like we were the only ones they had to take care of. Dr White and his assistant Michelle did an amazing job taking the time my fearful dog needed to have the best possible experience. I have now met all 4 of the vets here and I can’t say enough about their kindness and care if my dogs and me. I am so grateful for my Vet Home.“

“Minnie el chapo spent the night and came home beautiful and happy due to wonderful staff!“

“It is a long process, but they know what they are doing and helped our baby a lot. Everybody seems to be very enthusiastic about their profession in the office“

“The staff are so friendly and helpful with answering all my questions. My little guy loves making friends every time we visit.“

“I have been going to Dr. Hanes for over 20 years. It’s a family business and we get treated like it. My pets have been getting excellent care because Dr. Hanes really does his profession for the animals and not just for the money!“
