My negative overcharging one-star review lead to online and inapposite personal attacks by the "owner" of this veterinary practice. But zero response from them about their rampant overcharges, however. (I was charged $100 for a technician to spend less than one minute, literally, just to administer a shot.) Reveals a lot about them. I.e.: Only give them 5 star reviews - or else. N.B. I had informed them I was terminating my substantial business with them well BEFORE I left any review of them and also well BEFORE they "informed" me not to return. So again their irrelevant response- from Mark K (who on earth is that??) is quite revealing read more

Midway through our weeklong visit to HHI, our 7 month old giant breed puppy, Benny, suddenly refused to bear weight on one hind leg late in the day, cried and whimpered all night. Started calling vets at 8 am in the morning for an urgent visit and while other vets offered us time slots later in the week, 3 days is too long to wait for a suddenly lame dog. This office gave us an appt at 10am. The staff and Dr White were excellent- thorough and careful exam, radiographs, then explanation of problem, meds, and what to do. Even took X-rays without sedation since Benny is gentle and compliant. We were in and out in 40 min. Highly recommend for anyone- local or visiting. read more

Bluffton Veterinary Hospital - Benny happy with care. - Veterinarians Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

Both of my dogs love the people at Bluffton Veterinary Hospital. They usually don't like visiting the vet, but they're treated very well. During COVID times, the team works feverishly to provide safe and efficient service. You'll need an appointment to bring your pet. When you pull up, you're to remain in the car until a member of their staff comes and checks you in. They all keep social distancing and wear masks. You're never to leave your vehicle or enter the facility. It's currently all handled through the technicians. Your pet will be brought inside and treated by their experienced veterinarians. They will mostly come back and update you on your pet's status. Once the pet is released, the technician will bring the pet back to your car. I like that they take safety and precautions very seriously and are doing the right things. Keep up the great work!! read more

Bluffton Veterinary Hospital has been a life saver! We had our little trio of dogs under the care of another hospital, but it was almost impossible to get them in without an appointment weeks in advance. Two of our dogs are older, so they are in the stage of needing more immediate care as things pop up than routine maintenance. Since coming to BVH, we have seen almost everyone on staff for one reason or another. The veterinary staff is top notch. They take the time to listen and really understand what is going on. They consult with you about a care plan and explain the benefits as well as considerations. They also answer all of your questions, no matter how big or small. The support staff is wonderful as well and always quick to help- another pro over our previous vet's office! We gladly make the trek from Beaufort to Bluffton knowing that our little ones are receiving excellent care every time. read more

I had a sick kitty and they worked me in for an appt It was a busy place, but I think I received very good care and attention. I would definitely recommend this vet clinic and I plan to go back! read more

I moved my 2 dogs to this vet after having a bass experience with the forever one. Although I came in today when they were super busy, they greeted me with a smile. When I got my dog settled in the second front desk person asked if I had been helped, which I had. Then the vet tech took us into a room and asked why we were there. We wanted a re-check because our dog has recently been treated for bacterial and worm problem. She was still having loose stools and we wanted to make sure that the problem was gone. We also wanted to find out if she needed thyroid because she has lost all of her hair since we moved here. The vet tech said that she could draw blood and test it while we waited if that's what we wanted. Or we could leave and she could call us with the results. I thought that giving us a choice was awesome. She also asked if we wanted to see the vet, or if she could take care of us. I thought that was really nice because my husband and I are on a budget, and it probably costs more if you see a vet. In any case, we didn't really need to see the vet, and the office was pretty busy, so we declined. We had opted to wait for the test results, in case we needed to buy more medicine. We didn't want to have to come back. Also, even though this vet will give us prescription that we can take anywhere, we don't mind buying our prescriptions here, because they are so nice. That wasn't true with the other vet. We did not want to buy our prescriptions from him, and he actually chose to charge us $25, to give us a prescription so that we could buy our flea medication online. All in all our two experiences here were great. read more

Dr. Rhonda Caudill is the best veterinarian I've ever met. I've been to so many veterinarians in my life and I'm at a loss for words for how amazing she is. If anyone in the area is looking for a vet please consider Dr. Caudill. She has been working hard to aid my chihuahua back into good health. I'm seriously blown away with how much she cares about us. I've never experienced such empathy and care from a veterinarian before. My chihuahua is so happy and has a good route ahead of her, where other vets said there was nothing they can do. The bills only included what was done at the vet- where other vets have overcharged me like crazy. She has called to check up on us and I feel so special. Most importantly, my chihuahua is feeling so much better. read more

They did a great job, treating my dog for a hot spot. They tried to accommodate my dog the day I brought him in. I would highly recommend this place read more

Unfortunately, after going to this vet for years, they misdiagnosed my dog and he ended up suffering a terrible death. I go to a different vet now and trust him completely. read more

i had to put my little dog down last month. the doctor and ppl there were truly compassionet . they were so kind . after my dog passed . they donated 5 treesto be planted in her name GIGI. plus sent us a beautful card. plus when i left the clinic . they gave me a clay paw print . thank you bluffton veterinary hospital . i wish i could give you ten stars . read more

if I could I'd give this place ZERO stars. brought my dog in because he was throwing up and this place did X-rays on my dog and said he had a tumor and needed "emergency surgery right away". $3000 later they said it was a "negative find" and there was nothing wrong with MY 12 YEAR OLD DOG. We trusted this doctor and the x-rays. Thank you for nothing. read more

Update: I've been coming for 10 months and I have to say that they are amazing! Ginger did few weeks of boarding, and they took great care of her. I have no complains. I will be moving again and will truly miss the amazing team of Vet's and their techs. Initially I did not knew about prices! But I will say is not expensive and for the care that they do to our fur babies is really good. You will not regret it! Best Veterinarians in town! First review: I'm new to town, and after looking at all close Vet's review I decided to come here. I don't regret it. The care for Ginger has been amazing. She is a puppy and was presenting a skin allergy and they did all the proper studies on time to take care for her. The medications were given and all side effects were explained. I can't say if they are expensive, or cheap, but looking around they have information about insurance, which is always good to have. Definitely will continue bringing her here. read more

Before doctor check the dog the lady said it will cost 300$ , how can u know how much will it be before proper inspection ? I think they over price completely they said inspection will cost 60$ then they said non of the doctors are available and if I want emergency it will cost 95$ The whole experience was hassle trying to use u in ur most Vulnerable moment read more

I can't say enough about the care and kindness every member of the staff portrays - from the front desk, to the techs and the various veterinarians. I typically take my cats to any available vet here and they've all been great. The follow up after each "problem" visit (vs just a check up or nail trim) is top notch, including texts and calls from the vets themselves. Our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and the staff and specifically Dr. Caudill have been so helpful! read more

Previous Review: Good vets, but I always seem to get "extra" services. I bring in a postcard from them showing what they need to do, but there are always things that somehow did not end up on the postcard. So, I feel like they give good service, but that is tainted by the up-sell I always seem to get there. They do seem unable to answer a question directly. Updated Review: I found a lump on my dog and, after two appointments where the vet DID NOT notice and I pointed it out, I was told it was probably nothing. I was uncomfortable with that and asked that it be removed. The lump was removed from our dog and there was a four inch incision. They closed that with four staples. It kept coming open and we went back several times over the Thanksgiving holidays (and yes..paid for it several times) for it to be closed up again. At one point, I had to take our dog back because it was so open you could stick your finger in it. They seem to think I was irrational for wanting better treatment for my dog. I have since changed vets and I asked for my records to be sent to the new vet. They were not sent within a four week time period and I paid for new tests because there were no records. Their doctor finally called me to "discuss" the issues after my Facebook review. He said he did not want a bad review. He ended up blaming me and the new vet for the issues (new vet should have called his offices before doing new test). During this call, I was also told that the lump I found was cancerous - which I was not told prior. From last Nov 2014 to May 2015, I spent thinking that I caused my dog to have a painful experience for no reason - knowing it was cancer makes me feel better about my instincts at least and our struggle. I finally received copies of the records and it was a running editorial of half of our discussions (the half from the techs point of view). As I read them out to my husband, he kept saying - "that's not what happened." Are they good vets? Mostly. Their customer service and inability to explain charges is an issue. Their communication is an issue. They give you a lot of we can do X,Y, or Z. Their human skills suffer. The real point is that changing vets is a hassle and people do not do it unless they feel they HAVE TO do it. Seeing my dog in pain for months with a slice that they would not close up and their medical advice of keep her still (she is a 100 lb Bulldog) - that was more painful than changing vets, so we did and feel better about their care. read more

We have entrusted the care of our Westies to the BVH since we moved here almost 6 years ago. Everyone there is wonderfully caring, technically competant, embracing and ministering to pet parents as certainly as they fully care for our four legged family members. We have never regretted entrusting our babies to them!!! read more

We've taken all family animals here for years and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. The staff and vets are always so kind and genuinely helpful. Extra shoutout to Grace for going above and beyond when we needed help with doggie daycare documents! Couldn't recommend them more. read more

Great Vet caring reasonable professional extremely clean. Really care about animals.My forever vet. read more

So much heart and soul here. My cat had 7 teeth removed, I was feeling like a bad mother and they soothed my nerves. Also, it was affordable. These guys rock. read more

Bluffton Veterinary Hospital is excellent. The support staff is warm and helpful. The practice hours make it easy to get an appointment when you need one. The veterinarians we've seen have been wonderful. Particularly Dr. Dana Resetarits, who has always taken the time to answer our questions and explain everything. We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Dana. And our aging Labrador Retriever absolutely loves going there! read more

My pups love this place and so do I! Very, very clean and smells that way! Organized set up, very friendly staff. My pups are still babies and a little jumpy with strangers but they never feel uneasy here and are very comfortable with all the staff. They love going here! I wouldn't trust my babies with any other veterinary hospital. I strongly recommend this place for anyone's fur babies! read more

Bluffton veterinarian is an excellent place to bring your loved one. I highly recommend them they treat your pet and you excellent.

They take such good care of my golden retriever Cooper! The staff is very helpful and always willing to help! I couldn't have asked for a better vet and team to take care of my puppy read more

Absolutely the BEST. The most caring employees; the most caring and knowledgeable doctors. I take my dog, a Sheltie with failing kidneys, every day and the love they show her is phenomenal. It is, by far, the best Vet Hospital in the area. My dog can't wait to enter the facility to bark her entrance and get the acknowledgment from the entire staff. It's a fun "ritual". The best place to take the "4-legged loved one". I have been a customer for about 7 years (when "wintering in the Low Country from the North...now a permanent resident) with other dogs as well and have never been disappointed. read more

We have had excellent service from everyone there. We had a special procedure done there for our cats thyroid. Dr nance is the only dr in area to be trained up do this. It went well but it was all due to their skill. We have several cats and have been there from after hour emergencies to routine check ups and they are the best. We would not think of going anywhere else. read more

Cannot thank the entire staff of this facility for the care given to our seriously ill dog. We are visitors from New Jersey and everything here is top notch. Our daughter in law was here with us; she is a vet tech in NJ. She thoroughly read all of the evaluation and care reports and she said that they were top of the line. Highly and gratefully recommend. read more

Front desk staff is not the friendliest and they like to shame you if your pet is due for something that you haven't done yet. Maybe have a little more compassion while we are in a pandemic. Cancelled our appointment and will be finding another vet read more

I have two dogs and used to have them enrolled in Banfield, but after running into a few problems, I switched over to Bluffton vet. I love them! On our first check up, they took us right into a designated room. Soon after the vet came in and performed the exam right in front of me. I was impressed because Banfield never did that. He also gave my pups their vaccinations in front of me too! This made me very happy because he seemed genuinely interested in my pups, I could see that as he administered their shots. I am very happy with their services and would recommend to anyone! read more

Truly amazing place. They care so much. Thier kindness and professionalism are outstanding. I have had vets on the island and they were horrible. I love them so much I dont mind the drive! read more

Dr Rhonda Coudill removed two masses that had been tested and were known to be benign. The surgery was on a Friday, and on Sunday, I pulled back the shirt to take a look. The incision was 2X as large as it should have been, and the stitches looked like they were done by a 3 year old, learning to sew. The stitches were loose, too far apart, and the middle of the wound was left wide open. I took her back in on Monday, and a second vet tried to close the wound using several staples. Of course, it was too late, the damage had been done. I now spend every day feeling terrible about letting this vet put my dog through this horrible 3 weeks +. And, I am not sure what the long term damage will be. I will take her to a qualified vet this week to see how to mediate this mistake going forward. If you are using Bluffton Vet Hospital, you want to make sure Dr Coudill does not do to your pet what she did to mine. Be careful!... read more

Very displeased with their service... especially when receiving a return call to address my concerns about my dog and the Vet was giving advise that had nothing to do with my dog it became clear she never looked at my dogs records before she called. To me it's the Vet people rely on for their professionalism which would include checking the pets record so you can advice their owner properly. They claim it was a miscommunication between the Vet and an assistant... which stresses the importance of checking the pets records. read more

This Vet is fantastic, I am beyond impressed. We moved here a few years ago, and in the meantime we obtained two kitties. We read the reviews and decided to try them out. What a great experience we have had. One of our kitties was very sick, and Dr. White left no stone uncovered to help us with her diagnosis and treatment. They are very knowledgeable and up on the latest trends. The staff is awesome! Everyone is so kind, compassionate, understanding, friendly and accommodating, and they are always happy to see you. The way they have handled the Covid-19 situation has been really professional and have maintained their good nature throughout. The prices are reasonable--they have great hours. I just cannot say enough nice things about this practice and our experience with Dr. White. read more

We were in Hilton Head on vacation and had an emergency with our Shih Tzu. There wasn't a single office on the island that would see him, some because we weren't a client, some were double booked and some we'd have to wait for few hours to be seen when he needed immediate care. We called to the Bluffton Animal Hospital, they were the nicest and said they'd see him as soon as we could get him there. The staff and doctor that seen him was wonderful, if we have any issues while there again we will definitely call them. read more

I can't not express enough how wonderful the entire staff is!!!!!!! Vets are amazing. Dr. White is one of the most understanding, compassionate, and caring vet I have known in a very long time. My dog has a terminal condition and Dr. white is doing everything to keep him comfortable. I highly recommend Bluffton Veterinary Hospital. If your looking for a vets office, please use them. read more

We are in the process of moving to Okatie. We will be here full time by mid-late summer. We travel with our 2 cats from VA periodically. One of our cats, Alphie, is in renal failure and on SubQ every other day. We noticed after we were in town less than 24 hours that she had developed what appeared to be some sort of growth that has ruptured which ended up being a anal gland abscess. We called around and only Bluffton Veterinary would take here immediately. We were on the phone at 2:08 and she was being seen at 2:40. We can't say enough about how we appreciate Dr. Nance and Bluffton Veterinary Hospital. They treated her and then Dr. Nance followed up with a call the following morning to check on Alphie's condition. I called with questions later in the morning and Dr. Nance returned my call. Then we had another medical issue unrelated to the anal gland surface 2 days after the 1st appointment. I called at 8:00 a.m. and Alphie was being seen at 8:40 a.m. We rescue the cats no one seems to want and because of this, we visit vets often. I'm very pleased that Alphie was able to be seen by Dr. Nance. It worked out very much in our favor that Bluffton Veterinary Hospital was the only vet able to see Alphie that day. We felt comfortable with the practice personnel, vet tech's, and with Dr. Nance. I read another review about doing extra services. We couldn't disagree more. My husband and I are suckers for doing "too much" for our pets. Dr. Nance gave us options and then he said "if it were my cat this is what I'd do". The services provided were just right and not too much. We also like receiving medical options so we can understand the recommended course of treatment. 5 Stars for Bluffton Veterinary Hospital AND Dr. Nance! read more

My family has been taking our Labs here for nearly 10 years. From puppy to death these folks have given us the red carpet treatment always. We recommend everyone to this clinic and they have given our five labs the best care ever!! As I read the other reviews, I am saddened that pets get sick and have health issues. I currently have a Lab with elbow and hip dysphasia. That's the luck of the draw. Health care and Vet care can be a little pricey but as a pet owner... That is my responsibility and my responsibility alone. Pet ownership is a potential expensive proposition if done correctly. Day or nite, sick or healthy, the Bluffton Vet Hospital provides top quality care for the community and deserves the respect and a big "thank you" for all they do for the community. Thank you!! read more

This office is only interested in jacking up the bill and upselling their services. Two years ago told me my cat needed a $1,000 blood transfusion. Asked what the alternative was and he said we can wait and see how she does with the meds we just gave her. Guess what, she was fine! Offered to cut and drammel my dogs nails and then charged my $35 for it on the bill. More than I pay for a pedicure! My husband keeps taking our dog here bc they have Saturday hours but they are only interested in seeing how many add ons they can include on the bill. Do not trust them for this reason. My dog has allergies and they keep offering the same meds and services but nothing is helping. They don't care bc they are still getting paid. read more
