Animal Hospitals near Waxhaw

“What I like about these folks at Providence South Animal Hospital mainly is how they treat me and my pet like we actually matter to them. They have gone out of their way several times to ensure my dog (who has terrible allergies) gets the meds she needs to keep those allergies in check. They were kind and non-judgmental when I missed giving Pinky her heartworm meds, they just took it in stride without lecturing me. We got her back on track and that was that. Also, when my truck wouldn’t start last winter when it was in the teens and I had to reschedule literally 5 minutes before the appointment was to start-the staff was chill about it and didn’t make me feel terrible about wasting their time and missing the appointment.
It’s things like that that give me good vibes every time I drive past their doggie mailbox.“

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

“Staff will help you and your pet every step of the way! Everyone is kind and helpful. They were able to help us make the right choices for our elderly dog.“

“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.“

“This was our first visit with Curtsinger Animal Hospital. We just got a 9 week old Shih Poo puppy and i could honestly say Dr Dane Curtsinger went above & beyond our expectations answering all our questions & then some. We left there feeling that we picked the right Animal Hospital because all the Veterinarians in the practice come very qualified to take care of your precious babies.Happy we chose them and know you will be too.?“

“had some questions about an issue I’m dealing with. Gabbie/ Gabby Helped me on the phone with excellent info. Would recommend.“

“Drop-off was easy and phone call was received in time period I was told they would let me know how the procedure went. I met with Dr. Hill at the end of the day for going over the procedure and how it went. Check-out was speedy and very pleased.“

“They’ve been great with our adopted German Shepherd who can be quite timid at the vet. Our previous vet was so rude about our dog and gave me anxiety just bringing her in. Glad to have found Weddington instead.

We also had to put down our 15 year old dog and they were phenomenal. Took their time letting me have a moment, gave him a final treat of chocolate and cookies (all the things he never got to have), took paw print molds. So kind and understanding.“

“The staff at Ballantyne Vet Clinic are always so kind and compassionate with my elderly dog. They always follow up to check on him after his visits. Dr. Humphreys is thorough in his exams and takes time to explain his rationale for treatment choices and answers all questions. I never feel rushed and he does not make you feel pressured into anything you aren’t comfortable with. With an older dog, I choose to keep testing and medications to a minimum and he allows me the freedom to do that. He offers me the option to do what is necessary to keep my dog comfortable without causing him undue stress. I highly recommend Dr. Humphreys and this clinic!!“
