At 2:20 p.m. on a random Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Cifranick and his assistant were driving on…read moreBoundary Creek Road in Beaufort and saw a flash of fur, and stopped the mobile vet vehicle. A seven-year-old Australian Shepherd was running across multiple properties, so the Dr. and his assistant came out with treats and a slip lead. A man waved and the Dr. confirmed that he was the owner. However, the owner requested assistance. For 5 minutes, in between regular appointments, Dr. Cifranick and his assistant assessed and helped corral the uncollared dog with expert and kind care, being sure to watch for roadside traffic. He allowed the owner to walk the dog to the man's house, and just gave a wave when the slip lead was returned. As a 40-year-old-man who's owned dogs all of my life, I was horrified. As that dog's owner and the idiot dog owner in this story, I cannot speak to how grateful I am that a vet and his tech stopped immediately, spent 5 minutes and kept working with me as we tried to herd a dog that was herding us. He didn't upsell or see it as anything as part of caring for dogs as a whole. I doubt he'd even assume I'd remember the name on the truck. He and his team care when no one else is watching, when no invoice is passing and with no one "watching". That's the kind of difference that matters when looking for care. He didn't have to. He certainly didn't have to when he knew I had eyes on my dog. But he did and made sure that the dog was safe. Thanks, Doc.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS TO AFFORDABLE PET CLINIC OFF OF PAIRS ISLAND GATEWAY, THE OLDER VET DR. SMITH, IF YOU CAN CALL HIM A DOCTOR IS AN ANIMAL KILLER! My mother in law took the 13 week old puppy we gave them for Christmas to them for the third round of booster shots. The puppy had a hair lip and the vet said there was something stuck in it. He had the vet tech hold the puppy while he tried to clean it out. The puppy began to struggle, they let the puppy rest for second then continued. The puppy this time peed and pooped on the table while struggling yet the vet continued until the puppy started vomited, stopped breathing and then died. They asked my in laws if they wanted the dog cremated, while they were still in shock. When I went to the office the next day to confront the vet he was cold and showed no remorse. When I told him I was reporting in him to the licensing board and an attorney, he then said he couldn't release the body of the dog until he took pictures. When asked why he didn't do that before freezing the dog, he stated well the dog was to be cremated but now with legal matters being taken he needs to take pictures. The vet through out the whole encounter was cold and showed no empathy. I told him that he should not be in practice if he doesn't understand animals. When asked why he did what he did, the vet could give no answers nor any apologies. The vet kept repeating that the puppy had a cleft palate.

These people are fantastic! We took our very sick Mini Dachshund to Affordable Pet Clinic December 2014 and saw Dr. Smith Sr. It appeard she was suffering from Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (very serious issue). He gave her two specific medications which stopped the diarrhea within about 12 hours and knocked out the infection quickly also. Dr. Smith saved her life! Mykita is doing just fine now thanks to Dr. Smith and the wonderful staff there! Thank you. In Janruary 2015 we got our dog spayed by Dr. Smith Jr. The operation went very well, the stiched area looks great and there is no sign of infection. We love these people here and it is clear they really love animals. We get the care we need for our pet at prices we can afford; hard to find now-a'days. Thank you Greg S. read more

Buckwalter is quite literally negligent, incompetent, rude and clearly only cares about money. Poor client communication, poor management, poor customer service. But then it just spiraled downhill- care was given within 5 min without pricing info and consent which ended up being $350 (astronomical) Then we had to go back 2 weeks later due to no information and the issue coming back. Dr. Iyer relinquished his "voice" to his office manager Marlee who is one of the most unprofessional and rude office staff we've ever dealt with in the entirety of having animals- We tried to reach out to Dr. Iyer to where he blocked the email thereafter- if that's the case- remove your email from your website. If you must go here- only see Olivia and Dr. Rushing. Otherwise- steer clear. You'll leave with no answers, incompetent front office staff communication and a massive bill. I'm absolutely mind-blown at my experience for a "luxury" facility. This place is a complete disaster and takes advantage of all of the Sun City people. Either way, avoid at all costs.

So I call for an appointment and get in within a reasonable amount of time. Once I arrived my poor cat in his carrier is out numbered by all dogs waiting. Luckily for us they get us into a room. There we are seen at first by an assistant who takes my cat in the back to clean his ears. Since he has breathing issues they had to give him air. I would have preferred to have had the option to be with him so I could keep him calm so he wasn't needlessly stressed. They gave me eardrops and a bill for $220. which included the required rabies shot for an indoor senior cat. Makes zero sense but they say it is a state requirement. When we got home I was unsure if they even medicated his ears there so I had to call them. Let's see how future visits if any, work out. So far at least the shot didn't kill him but he had a difficult night. Not in love with this place. Definitely would prefer a place that was more cat centric.

We decided to wait until Thursday morning to see if she improved. unfortunately she did not so we called the vet. The first call the receptionist accidentally hung up on us. The second call we were put on hold for 20 plus minutes and could not hold any longer. We finally took her this afternoon and after blood work and a unrinary check we were told there is nothing wrong with her except she was borderline dehydrated. They gave her some fluids and sent us on our way. The next thing I know I'm paying a $511 dollar bill for an issue that was most likely caused by the shot they gave her. Really feel like this was excessive and has prompted us to research another vet for our services. I would definitely ask questions about cost. It appears this group are in for the money. Not building lifelong relationships. Working with a customer on the bill is not something they are interested in.

This place is NOT dog-friendly, and their staff is beyond unhelpful. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this was going to be a bad experience, and should trusted my gut and left. To start, the office smelled awful, which was already a red flag. But it only got worse from there. When it was time to weigh my Great Dane (who is 150 pounds), they told me their scale was off when weighing large dogs! It read 132 pounds, even though I knew she was closer to 150. Instead of trying to fix the issue, they guessed her weight, writing down whatever I said I thought it was. This is a HUGE red flag, considering weight is such a critical part of a dog's health, especially Great Danes. Once we got into the exam room, things continued to spiral. I suspected my dog had a UTI, so the vet tech, Alexa, followed us outside to collect a urine sample. When my dog finally peed, Alexa startled her by rushing over too quickly and barely managed to collect any of the sample because she wasn't paying attention. To make matters worse, when I called ahead to ask if I needed to bring anything to the appointment, no one mentioned that I should bring her first pee of the day for accurate results. They only told me this after the test was done, explaining that the sample collected during her 10 AM appointment wasn't accurate because it was her second pee of the day. So now I'm out a lot of money and still don't know if my dog has a UTI. But don't worry, they told me to come back and pay for another test on Monday (today is Friday). Truly unbelievable, and completely avoidable if they had just informed me when I called multiple times before the appointment. Then Dr. Kristina McGuiness joined us back inside, and things somehow got even worse. I had also brought my dog in to remove a tick from her face. I showed them a clear photo of the bottom half of the tick I removed earlier, but they insisted it was a skin tag. Dr. McGuiness picked at the spot, caused my dog to bleed, and then sent us home with the tick still embedded in her face--no antibiotics, no cleaning, just left her bleeding. Who does that?! When I asked about my dog's hips, Dr. McGuiness barely examined her. She quickly felt my Great Dane's hips, didn't offer any explanation, and then just left the room without saying a word. I thought she was going to return with more information, but instead, she went off to see another patient without any follow-up or closure on my concerns. I was left standing there, waiting for answers that never came. In my opinion, Dr. McGuiness seemed very distracted during the appointment. She came off as somewhat condescending, and extremely loud, and gave the impression that she didn't care about my dog or my concerns. I was shocked that she just walked out mid-appointment and never returned. I left feeling confused and frustrated, still waiting for some kind of explanation or help, but she was already on to the next patient. To top it all off, I left the clinic with a $170 bill, NO ANSWERS, and a useless topical medicine that won't even address my dog's issues. I'm honestly shocked that this office has such great reviews and has been open for so long. The clinic staff was doing the bare minimum and it was very disorganized. If you want a vet office that actually cares about your dog, DO NOT come here. 0/10. This was a truly HORRIBLE experience from start to finish, and I'm incredibly disappointed and frustrated that we wasted time, money, and stress here. :(
