Dr. Mangum is far more than a veterinarian
he is a calling in motion. His expertise in exotic and traditional veterinary medicine is extraordinary, but what truly sets him apart is his heart, his faith, and the way he loves both animals and the people who care for them.
I have monkeys, dogs, cats, and a whole little “zoo,” and there has never been a time
day or night
that I could not reach Dr. Mangum when something was wrong. Whether it is the middle of the night or a busy day full of emergencies, he always responds, follows up, and truly wants to know how each and every one of my animals is doing. He doesn’t just treat symptoms
he stays invested...read full review
Dr. Mangum is truly one of a kind. I have entrusted him with the care of some of the most precious beings in my life
my animals
and I can say without hesitation that he is exceptional in every way.
Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but he is also deeply compassionate. He treats every pet as if it were his own, with gentleness, patience, and genuine care. Whether it’s routine care or something complex and stressful, Dr. Mangum takes the time to explain, to listen, and to make sure both the animal and the owner feel safe and understood.
I have animals with very unique and specialized needs, and Dr. Mangum has always met those needs...read full review
Saved our puppy. Came in on his day off and did emergency surgery on our puppy and saved her life. Very knowledgeable, very nice Vet. Was the total price the ER wanted just to look at her and run tests. Not even the surgery.
I'd disregard any negative reviews as he should have a 5 star rating and does for us.
