Or she said I could leave her overnight . I told her the cat litter would not be possible because I have a cat rescue and a total of 14 litter boxes .I told her I'd like her to give antibiotics right away to take home to get my cat out of pain . She said she needed to know what kind of bacteria first . I told her to give me a broad spectrum antibiotic . She got offended and started an argument . Then she left the room , and I could hear her gossiping about me in the hall . In all the years I've had animals , I've never had a vet want to delay treatment, and cause an animal longer discomfort . On top of that I did not receive a print out of the exam she supposedly did , when she took my cat in the back room . Not even taking her temperature , but charging me 80$ for an exam . Very unprofessional and uncaring about my cat's pain .

I grew up in Barnwell as did my parents. I currently live in Florida and needed a vet to see and…read morelikely euthanize my baby girl. I called many vet hospitals in the CSRA, many did not have availability but were concerned and helpful in trying to get me pointed towards a vet that could help me. Only one veterinarian office made me feel worse than I did, was unprofessional, and honestly should not work in the veterinary field. I don't want to name names but you know who you are. I called and was told they were double booked. I asked please I am in Barnwell I can come anytime and I really need to get her in. Now I understand not every vet is an emergency vet. It's hard to get in last minute. But the way I was talked to was awful and rude. I was asked, "Who is your primary vet?" And I said I live in Florida I am here because my father was in the hospital so I had to come home and now my baby is very unwell. I asked please can you help me or give me some resources. I was told and it is a quote, "Well yeah if you were an established client we would see you." WHAT?! My 15-year old dog suddenly cannot control her bowels and bladder, is leaning all the way over and won't stop panting. It is an emergency situation. But I WAS NOT told they don't take emergencies. I was basically told they won't take me because I am not an established client. THIS IS BEYOND INHUMANE. To flat out say if I was a client they would see me, but I am not so they won't even though my dog is basically dying. You need to have a staff that cares about animals. I called a dozen or more vets and every office was compassionate and understanding and trying to help. Not dogwood. This place is not a place to take your loved baby. They care about planned appointments and money making. Don't take your baby here. Of all the raves I am telling you when I needed someone, they were curt and dismissive. I called Dr. Mitchell in Bamberg. He was closed but his voicemail had a cell number. My mother texted him the situation and he said come on now and I will meet you there. THIS is a vet. THIS is someone who cares about the animal, not just the bottom line. He came during his personal day to meet me and my family, assess my baby, and compassionately put her down giving me all the time I needed. Don't go to dogwood. Even if you live in Barnwell. The best around is Dr. Mitchell and I will always highly recommend him. I will never recommend dogwood. Don't take your babies there. Knowing what they did to me and the situation they put me in, they deserve NO business and NO babies to take care of.

Thankfully we have been make the trip out to Dr. Gradous for almost 9 years now so that wasn't an issue. I do use the word "trip" because it is just that. Depending on where you are coming from, it can be anywhere from a 30 to 60 minute drive. But it is worth it. The building and parking lot are small, as is Dr. Gradous. But don't let that fool you. He is straight forward in his instructions (i.e. "no Ole Roy") and has been known to treat animals much better than humans on a regular basis. And that's why we don't go anywhere else. He will speak softly to them and treat them with the utmost care when they enter his presence. This reputation has preceded so much that getting an appointment can be a challenge, so plan ahead. He does this because for the animals, as he has attempted to retire twice already but obviously is still there. His costs for medicine, shots, and appointments are the lowest you will find. Also, right next door his daughter runs the grooming and boarding. The entire team is top notch. I honestly have no idea what we will do when he stays retired.

We also took my daughter's dog here when he had Parvo and they gave him excellent care in 2020 and he came home. When the Aiken vet that my husband's family has used for 20+ years, proved it was not a worthy vet, I decided that All God's Creatures would be the place that we would go, no matter how far I had to drive. He had dental surgery scheduled yesterday morning and I called them on Friday to ask if they would be reaching out to let us know of any changes in operating hours on Monday because of the weather. I was assured that they would let me know. Drove 45 minutes and I arrived for surgery at 7:40 AM and nobody was there. I called the only phone number that they have with no answer, knocked on the door and I sat there until 815. There was no way I was going to drive home immediately so I went looking on Facebook to see if there was somebody, anybody that I could reach out to to find out what was going on. I don't follow them on Facebook. And right there was a post saying that they were not going to open until 10:00 AM due to the weather and they would reach out to reschedule via their Facebook page and email. I checked my email and there was nothing. Nohing in junk mail, no phone calls, voicemails, texts. Nothing. Drove another 45 minutes to take my dog home and get myself to work. I'm at work for 30 minutes and I get a phone call asking me to bring him in "now" at which time I explained to her what happened and it was completely blown over. I left work and I went home and got my dog, drove to Augusta again and I took him in. While there I explained to someone else what happened and it again was completely disregarded. "They were supposed to email the cancellations". BUT YOU DIDN'T! And WHY would an email be a sufficient means in which to cancel a surgery??? Not only do I not get notifications for my emails, I don't look at them daily. So even if I had gotten one I wouldn't have known. She tells me they're gonna start the surgery in about 30 minutes and I should get a phone call around 2 PM. Updating me about how it went. I didn't receive any phone call anywhere around 2 o'clock so sometime around 3:30 I started calling to see what was going on. ALL DAY FROM THE MOMENT I TRIED TO DROP HIM OFF I MADE 22 calls and not one was answered. No compensation, no sincere apology, NOTHING. Well, I have a big mouth and I will run it about this interaction until the end of my days when anything involving veterinary care comes up with anyone I'm talking to. For seven years, I've told people about the amazing visits that we've had there and that's over. The staff that you had is clearly not the staff that you have now. My husband also said when he picked him up that the girl at the front was not friendly at all. Also, at our pre-surgical appointment the tech that came into the room was grossly picking food out of her back molars with her fingers after she walked into the room. Gross. And maybe don't do that. On a positive note, it was cheaper than the quote we got at the overrated Aiken Vet and my dog is alive and doing well today.

Since Gradous retired and the new veterinarian couldn't keep up, all appointments were redirected to Burke County Animal Hospital. So I was house and dog sitting while my daughter was on vacation in August. Her dog Remi had a hole in her hip from an old injury and she needed to get looked at immediately. I'm talking open wound oozing out of a 10 yr. old Pitbull mix. She was hit by a car when she was a year old and had a metal plate held on w/screws put in at Columbia, SC emergency surgery. So 9 years later these foreign objects are pushing themselves out. I called Burke County and explained why and what and they told me I could come in the next morning and take X-rays and that's what happened. When I got there, they were busy. But everything went pretty swiftly(2 hrs) and I was given medication for Remi and ultimately ended up having to take her to Columbia for another surgery to remove the screws and plate. She's doing fine now and I appreciate the service I got from the whole staff. Especially the women at the front desk. They even called Columbia for me and set everything up.
