Ruger had an amazing first Vet visit at CPVH! As a first time dog owner I didn't know what to expect, but the whole team was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, they exceeded my expectations!! From the receptionists helping with itemized quotes, to vet tech, Bailey, & Dr. Bamonte, taking their time to thoroughly explain and answer my questions and examine Ruger, we felt comfortable and not rushed!! Ruger had a perfect checkup and didn't even flinch for his vaccines while they distracted him with some cheese whiz, excellent appt.!! We even got his test results back next day via text!! Highly recommend CPVH to everyone!! read more

Central Providence Veterinary Hospital - Ruger sitting like a good boy after his 1st Vet visit! He was spoiled with all the loving by the tech & Dr. Bamonte!! - Veterinarians Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Both of my dogs are patients of the practice. We started with Dr. Booker years ago, and stayed throughout the transition. Speaking about the "new" Central Providence, all of our interactions and experiences with the different veterinarians, techs and office staff have always been positive. They are consistently responsive to my requests for information, records, refills, etc. I am always able to get an appointment. I trust everyone there and know that my pups are well taken care of and in good hands when they go there! Thank you for all of your hard work and love for our fur babies. read more

I recently went to Central Providence Animal Hospital for the first time, and was extremely impressed. The receptionist and technician were so very friendly and attentive to myself and my dog. Dr.Taboni was gracious, welcoming and gentle with my dog, and as well, competent and knowledgeable. She explained everything very carefully and gave me multiple choices for the diagnostics needed. I would recommend this hospital without reservation to anyone who loves their pet. read more

DR BOOKER HAS RETIRED AS OF JANUARY 2023 - I went here in the PAST only because they were near my home and my cats hated the car ride. Maybe the new vets are more Up To Date on current pet health modalities. I would not use them for cancer or gut issues. read more

We have been taking our fur babies to Dr Booker since we moved to Charlotte in 2008. He is knowledgeable, caring and practical. Even though we have since moved further away we still use Central Providence Vet. read more

I have known Dr. David Booker for ages. I wouldn't take my precious 13 year old Dachshund, Buddy, anywhere else. Dr. Booker is a Dachshund person. He is kind, considerate, compassionate, knowledgeable, gentle, and human. My dog, Buddy likes him and isn't afraid of going to the clinic. He does have great staff that love animals. I give Dr. Booker a 10 star rating if I could. Buddy has seen him over his whole life. I'll always use Dr. Booker as my Veterinarian. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING TO THIS LOCATION!!!!! I don't usually post complaints like this about a business, I just won't go back to the business, when I am not happy with the service provided. But as an animal lover I feel it is my duty to report this to people who are thinking of taking their pets too this place. This location was good until the new people took it over. The new people were more concerned with bilking us out of money, than treating our pet. We took our cat in for surgery, which cost close to $1900. The price was no problem, if they at least took the time to care for the pet and do what ever possible to help the pet for the money we paid, but they did not. They did not provide us with verbal instruction or antibiotics for the pet after the surgery and the surgeon did not even come out to speak with us. The receptionist just gave us paperwork and took the payment. THEY DID NOT PROVIDE OR PRESCRIBE OUR PET WITH ANTIBIOTICS AFTER THE SURGERY, which we did not know, was a necessity. I understand surgery is a gamble, but when the Doctor is clearly negligent and then wants to charge you to fix their screw up, that's a problem. As stated before, the surgeon did not come out to talk to us and provide us with any type of instruction on what to do, they did not provide us with a follow-up visit and did not prescribe antibiotics to our animal, which again, we did not know was needed after surgery. A week after the surgery our cat became much sicker and was losing ounces of weight each day. Also, her body was radiating a significant amount of heat. She was clearly infected when we brought her back to them a week and a half after surgery, instead of taking her in because she was infected after recently having surgery, they wanted to run more test and charge hundreds of more dollars. When we told them we paid enough this was clearly an infection, involved with the surgery they told us the cat was fine, she'll recover and this was normal after a major surgery like this. This advice came from the office staff and not the surgeon. The surgeon could not find the time to get back to us. Again, the cat felt hot to the touch, couldn't stand, and was extremely bloated around her belly, she clearly had an infection. Two days after this visit, her symptoms worsened and we took her to a specialist. The new Doctor extracted a cup and a 1/2 of puss from a now 6 pound adult, cat and provided her with ANTIBIOTICS. When asked if her surgery had anything to do with the infection, the specialist asked was she given antibiotics and the answer was "No". When told, we brought her in two days prior to the previous Doctor, who said the cat was fine, the specialist said she was severely infected and had been infected for much more the two days. After a round of antibiotics the cat is doing fine now. The specialist referred us to a new vet for a follow up, who also said the cat should have been prescribed antibiotics after the surgery. We will not be bringing our animals to Central Providence Veterinary Hospital anymore. I am not somebody who has a ridiculous complaint because they were unhappy with a meal at a restaurant and I am not upset about the the money spent, I am someone who would pay any amount to have our pet spend another day with our family. Our family are people who love their pets very much and almost lost their pet, who is a family member due to the negligence of Central Providence Veterinary Hospital. If you love your pets don't risk it. TAKE YOU PETS SOMEWHERE ELSE, it is not worth the risk. With all the competition out there I'm sure you can find a place that cares about your animals, while making a profit. WE DID. I understand this is a business and needs to make money, but you have to provide the proper service for the money people are paying. With the new vet we are using, our cat is doing fine. She gained weight, plays and has a hardy appetite. NO THANKS TO Central Providence Veterinary Hospital. It was worth the $900 extra we paid the new specialist and Vet to save our cat, who remains happily with her family. read more

We have been going to this vet hospital for many years before Dr. Booker retired. He was a superior vet!! Ever since he's retired, this place has been a disaster with a lot of turnover - vets and vet techs. I made an appointment for my dog's physical and it never got recorded in the system. After taking off work today, they wouldn't accommodate me in any way even though it was their mistake. That wasn't the first time that an appointment wasn't recorded and I took off work. It seems to be a pattern. They also didn't understand the type of drug my dog has been on due to her anxiety. It's a very common drug used for dog anxiety. Then they insisted that the only way a dog can get a Bordatella inoculation was up their nose. Total lie. There's a Bordatella shot which they were unaware of. Really???? The good thing is that Charlotte is a big city with a lot of vet choices. We are changing vets for both of our dogs before a true tragedy happens. read more

Dr. Booker is the best vet I've ever seen. I've been taking my dogs to him for over 10 years for various issues. He's very caring and takes as much time as necessary and will answer all your questions. The staff is fantastic. He's also very affordable. I'll never take my pets anywhere else. read more

I should have started coming here sooner. Dr. Booker & his staff are very professional & caring. The office is clean & in a great location.

LOVE this clinic! We've been going to Dr. Booker for at least 10 years now and he is fantastic! He's got tons of experience, is incredibly knowledgable, and if there's a less expensive home remedy that's a possibility, he encourages you to try it and save some money. Honest and caring, couldn't ask for anyone better. read more

We complained to a neighbor about getting sticker shock every time we go to the vet and she recommended Dr. Booker and Central Providence Vet Clinic. We've been a couple of times and the last was an emergency. They dropped everything to help my Yorkie with a breeched birth, saving the Mom and the baby and charged $54 for doing it. The whole staff enjoys their job, and it shows. Dr. Booker loves his patients and knows his stuff and takes as much time as is needed with you. Best vet I've used in 60 years. read more

What a great experience! Yesterday I tried this vet for the first time and boy was I impressed! We saw Dr.Bamonte and she is very knowledgeable! Answered all my questions and some! They were very sweet with my dog and handled him with love and care. You can tell they love their jobs! Even the vet tech has experience in dog training which is very helpful for my sweet playful pit bull mix! They took their time and thoroughly examined my dog Chevy. Chevy is very playful and loves going to vet. He gets excited and can be hard to control but they did a fantastic job with holding him and distracting him with kisses to examine him. They even sent me the results for his tests the next day via text! Love the quick communication! They understand that our pets are our children and handle them with love and care! Over 24 hours later and I can't stop gushing about the great experience I had! I will definitely be returning! read more

Have had 4 dogs and 2 cats that have seen Dr. Booker since we moved here in 2007. He is the perfect mixture of caring/compassionate and practical. He explains things well and answers all my (many) questions. Has seen our pets through all the life stages. Best vet I've had in my 61 years of being an animal lover. read more

If Dr Booker is not your vet and you are Unlucky enough to get Dr Wolfe GO ELSE WHERE. Our family went to Dr Booker for 20 years. He took care of both our dogs. One which was gotten in 2009. A German Shepard named MAJOR that was bought as a gift for me after my brother passed to help me get through college and help my mother deal with the loss of her son. DR WOLFE, told me I was Paranoid and my Shepard just had spinal arthritis. After 2 YEARS of me saying something was wrong a NINE POUND TUMOR WAS REMOVED FROM MY BOY. NOT by her but by another animal clinic GOD BLESS THEM for giving me 11 more months with him that could've been prevented had she taken the precautions needed. I will never forget what the loss of that dog did to my family and has continued to do WITH NO APOLOGY. Booker is an amazing vet but the woman that has attempted to take over his clinic is a pure failure. If she is whom you are referred to GO ELSE WHERE. HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD a nine pound tumor is able to grow without detection is beyond me. Pets are family and that woman treats them like trash NOT TO MENTION MOST OF THE STAFF THAT HAD BEEN THERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS LEFT. read more

I took one of our dogs to Dr. Booker after he was recommended to me by numerous ladies in my neighborhood. He was very personable. Further, the office was very accommodating and was great about seeing us, even fifteen minutes late. read more

We have taken all of our fur babies to Dr. Booker and his fantastic team for over 15 years. I can not imagine going anywhere else. His genuine care of animals, expertise and patience are unmatched. You will not be disappointed with the care and support that they provide. read more

Top notch, everyone there is so friendly. Dr. Booker is great and the dogs love him

I have been taking my dogs to Dr. Booker when he first opened the clinic I guess more than 10 yrs ago. He is a very informative vet and will spend good quality time with you and your animal. His services are very fairly priced. HE DOES NOT DO ANY UNNECESSARY TESTING. In other words he will not talk you into tests for your animal that you really don't need. One of the most important things in todays busy society is time. When you have an appointment, you will be seen at that time. His staff really works very well at you not having to waite. If you want good care for your loved pet then Dr. Booker is the one I highly recommend. read more

I took my cat in as her appetite had decreased and I could tell something was wrong and she's also had a bit of weird cough/wheezing. I am new to the area so was a first time visit. I saw Dr. Booker and he noticed her breathing and said it was a respiratory issue and after running blood work and not seeing an infection, he gave her a steroid shot. I took her home and a few days later noticed her breathing was heavier and she was not eating at all. I took her back in and he did x-rays finding "congestion in her lungs" and gave her an antibiotic shot and some pills for me to start after that wore off. A few hours later she was open mouth breathing and I called them again and brought her into the office and he gave her a Lasik shot for her breathing. A family vet in another state told me it could be heart disease based on a video of her breathing I sent. He said he considered it but on the x-ray her heart looked fine and sounded good. About 2 hours later I took her to the emergency vet where they told me she was in heart failure and the "congestion in her lungs" was actually fluid and was seen on the x-rays Dr. Booker took. I do believe if I had not taken her in that night she would have suffocated. As she did have a heart issue, the steroid shot he gave her exasperated her condition. I called the next morning and I left a message about what happened and I was extremely disappointed that Dr. Booker or someone on his team did not reach out to see how she was doing or to offer an apology. I understand things happen but I had a very disappointing experience with the misdiagnosis and wish I had found somewhere else sooner for my cat that could have made her more comfortable from the start. The staff was very nice and accommodating especially for some of my quick trips in and they were reasonably priced (even though I paid for 2 visits and multiple shots that did not help and 1 that made it worse) I have found another vet in the area to monitor her treatment. read more
