Just came from a follow-up visit with Patrick Veterinary Clinic. Still have to get our girl (10 lb. Tortise Shell, Marley) through the medication prescribed by Dr. Patrick. I am blown away with the learned professionalism shown us by Dr. Patrick and his staff, especially through these Covid19 times. She is already better. We are better, also, because we have confidence that this team are on our and our kitty's side. Charges are very reasonable. We are confident that she will recover and so will we. Thank you, Dr. Patrick and staff for being there for us. read more

They are awesome! I'm thoroughly impressed. They have a Great staff. Pricing was very fair. They were able to schedule me right in. The doctor explained all the issues and options. They even made a follow up call to check on things. read more

Came here first time due to recommendation from a colleague. I have been going to another vet clinic(super nice vets!!!)but my puppy's diarrhea has been recurring for 5 months and he has been on antibiotic most of his life, I needed a second opinion. When u walk in, it's not super nice nor super clean, as other reviewers mentioned. BUT I really liked the vet tech and Dr Will who examined him. They seemed caring, thorough, and not out to get ur money. I valued their input more than the other vet clinic, though they were the nicest people ever. The exam fee here costs more than other vet but their lab tests seem more reasonable here. Only annoying thing, they ask that u take the prepaid fed ex overnight animal specimen to fed ex (not the Dropbox)urself but when I went to nearest fed ex office, they would not take it since it's a biological and they told me to drop off at box which couldn't fit the package. I called the office and left a message, since I didn't know what to do at that point but they never called back. I just ended up driving all the way near the airport to drop off at the main fed ex shipping office. There needs to be a more efficient way of doing this read more

I have to say that the folks who care for your family ( pets) at Patrick Vet Clinic are truly compassionate. I have been using them for years and they are so good with both my cats and dogs. I highly recommend them. They are not in it for the $ , they really do care for your animals and I can't say enough about the doctors and staff. If you want to give your animals a veterinarian who cares then take them to Patrick Vet Clinic. read more

I have absolutely no idea how this place gets any good reviews. It's filthy, hurried, and disgusting. I needed a surgery for my cat that my regular vet could not do...so I ended up at this place. 1. There is a problem with cleanliness. Upon opening the door the lobby is filthy and smells. I don't think this place has had a good cleaning since it opened. 2. The customer service is NON existent. (Front desk, vet techs, and the actual Vet) NEVER AGAIN. read more

A new furry friend was added to my family recently and her previous owner chose Patrick's for her puppy shots. She needed a few more vaccinations and I wanted to speak to a vet just to make sure everything was OK with her moving forward. I thought about going somewhere else for the appointment but I decided to head back to Patricks simply because they had my dog's records and I figured it was my easiest option and I didn't want to cause any confusion with what shots she has and hasn't had. A quick search on Yelp let me know it was a walk in clinic so I tried to time my visit during a quiet hour and luckily didn't wait long. The vet was very friendly and let me know that my new friend was perfectly fine. She then gave her the shots and vaccines that she needed and I was on my way. About a week later I returned after my cat got sick and didn't have the luxury of planning out my visit so I did have a bit of a wait. But I had the same great level of care and attention so I definitely would recommend giving them a try if you need a check up! read more

Affordable prices and good care. Yes, they are busy, and you may be on hold, or have to call back, or the staff may be harried or curt on occasion, but it's because they offer reasonable prices and are thus very busy offering great care. read more

Both me and my husband have taken our dogs to this vet on separate occasions and have loved our experience. Staff is super friendly. You can tell they really love dogs. Even though they have a walk-in system, the wait time was reasonable. I only waited about 15 minutes to be seen. I would image wait times would be longer on Saturday. They ran prices by me first to make sure I was okay with what they were prescribing. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful and professional the staff at Patrick Vet is and how I am no longer stressed on my trips to the vet. Cheers to Patrick Veterinary Clinic! read more

======Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're fconnected in any way to the owner or employees.veterinaryI can't imagine bringing my treasured souls to any other veterinary clinic than the PVC! Their staff treats every animal as if they were their own. They share a passion for God's creatures that is remarkable. Ask any of the outdoor cats that they treat and shelter around their building. The staff openly wept when we had to send our cat, the Duke of Marmalade to eternal peace. They rejoiced upon meeting our little Manx, Princess Cuddlesworth. Compassionate and affordable care with walk in service makes PVC, the continual Best of Charleston Winner, second to none! read more

I love the vets here. My collie and I have seen all of them and they are all equally friendly, thorough, and helpful with suggestions. The convenience of walking in is nice because I have a crazy work schedule. Just make sure you come and sign in early so you don't have to wait to long! read more

Patrick Veterinary Clinic - Patiently (sorta) waiting! - Veterinarians Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Best vets in town. Hands down. They take care of your animals as if they were there own. All the staff is friendly and helpful as they could be. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog. read more

If your dog needs shots, a quick check up or breaks there leg etc. Okay, bring them to Dr. Patrick Veterinary clinic. If at any point in time you think there is something inherently wrong with your animal DO NOT. My dog wasn't feeling well for 3+ months and the vets at Dr. Patrick misdiagnosed HER on 3 separate occasions. Didn't help each time we saw a different Vet as well. The most concerning visit was actually with Dr. Patrick himself. He seemed like he was in a rush - didn't want to take the time to fully examine my animal. Looked at the charts and claimed "oh he has xyz give HIM (It's a she mind you - Pretty scary if you can't even determine sex) these pill's and he'll be good to go." Well fast forward. My dog DID NOT have the said issue Dr. Patrick claimed she had. We opted to go to another vet for additional advice/evaluation(s). Multiple times during my visits with the staff at Dr. Patrick I claimed "Gosh, there is something wrong with her I just hope it's not cancer." They told me not to worry. I just received the results back from the other Vet today, my dog has cancer and probably has less than 6 months to live. So again, everyday quick fixes - Dr. Patrick is a go - If you feel like it could be something else - go elsewhere. read more

We recently had to put our golden retriever to rest. I was very sadden about this. Britney was excellent.and very empathic. She couldn't have been better. I will recommend Patrick to my friends and family. read more

Love the vets and techs at PVC. Have recommended to lots of my friends! They truly care about my fur babies!

Yes, I have had a few pretty long waits here. But it is a walk in clinic so that is not unexpected. I have been extremely impressed with the techs and the vets. They are empathetic, caring and professional. The prices are also reasonable. So for me a long wait and a crowded waiting room are definitely worth receiving great and thorough care for my pet. read more

I love Dr. Patrick Sr. I have had 7 chis since I started going to him and every single one he has treated with love and patience. He always got diagnosis correct. He is such a sweet man. I am not saying other drs are not awesome as well, but I dont go unless it's the days when Dr. Pat is there. I will miss him when he completely retires . I went 2 weeks ago, he was on vacay and I decided to being back my babies that's how much i trust him! And unlike others he doesnt charge me for the cotton he uses lol! Every little item that is. He realizes that the pets are just as important as the money, if not, more. And to a parent of many fur babies that speaks volumes. God bless you Dr. Pat! And thank you for all the years you have put in to our babies, I hope you will continue part time for many more years to come! My babies And I send you hugs! read more

I cannot believe it has taken me so long to review this vet clinic. I have a greyhound named Frida and we LOVE this vet: from the people at the desk to the vet technicians to the vets - they are all amazing and so caring and meticulous in what they do. I usually see Dr. Coco as she is the most familiar with my "problem child" Frida & I could not trust her more with my dog. Yes the wait time can be long, but that just shows you how much people love them (and let me tell you, the wait is definitely worth it). Also, my dog gets so excited when we pull into their parking lot. What dog gets excited about going to the vet? Highly recommend this vet!!! read more

Years ago my cat ran away and a kind soul found her weeks later, very sick, and brought her to Patrick Vet Clinic. They called me and we tried everything: they hooked her up to fluids, gave her oxygen, he even came in over the 4th of July holiday to give her meds and check on her! Ultimately, Mamacita did not make it. But they helped her go peacefully and comfortably and for that I am grateful. They were all so wonderful. He barely charged me anything considering all they did over several days. On a more uplifting note, Dr. Patrick is also the ONLY vet to ever physically examine my cat Albert without gassing him! He was a total pro and gently but firmly handled my angry cat. Albert growled and was wide eyed but Dr. Patrick was hearing none of it! It was so awesome! Albert was grumpy all day about it but at least his UTI got better! read more

Great staff. Kind and compassionate. Just put our dog down and they were great. They even made a donation in his honor (which I imagine they do for all pets). Such a sweet gesture. Made a difficult and sad time as easy as possible. read more

I have been taking my furbabies here for over 25 more years,hands down Best Veterinarian In Town,just love them and their compassion for the animal and not the Money in it! Bunch of Great Vets under one Roof! read more

Incredible Place. All the Doctors and staff are so attentive, I have had my 13 yr old Tortie cat in for teeth extractions and it could not have gone any better. She is up and playing like nothing happened. So take you pets here. They are great...... read more

Dr. Patrick, Sr is one of a kind. I had a mastiff that was like my child who had difficulties after her spay. Dr. Patrick (who is not a young man) walked me to my car and helped me put her inside himself. She was 135 lbs and feeling bad. I must've called him a million times because she wouldn't eat and she kept ripping the stitches. Dr. Patrick, Sr. was always caring and concerned, and returned my calls HIMSELF. When she came in for a follow up to check her stitches, he didn't charge me. He didn't do these things because he had free time, the place is always packed. He's just a nice guy. I left Charleston for a few years, and my poor mastiff died while I was at work. I had no idea what had happened, and I had no idea what to do because she was too big to move. It was heartbreaking. Her new vet offered no help whatsoever. They wanted nothing to do with it and had no advice. So I called Dr. Patrick's office. I spoke to Dr. Patrick, Jr. He was able to suggest a possible cause of death by description of the environment and her remains. He also referred me to a cremation service that could come and transport her. To me, that is just above and beyond. read more

I stopped taking my dogs here when they failed to diagnose a tumor on my older dog's thyroid. It was initially suspected as being cancer by a vet who happened to visit our home, when she pet my dogs to say hello. She immediately suggested aspirating the mass and having it tested, so we scheduled an appointment with her. It was indeed malignant and had already metastasized from where it first appeared many months earlier, when the younger Dr. Patrick dismissed it as a swollen lymph node. I liked and miss the walk-in / no appointment necessary policy, but I'm happy to schedule appointments at our new vet to ensure my dogs are getting the best care possible. read more

I didn't realize how good I had it when I lived in Charleston. Patrick Veterinary Clinic always took great care of my dogs and always charged a fair price. Once I went in one time with a "new pet owner concern" that turned out to be nothing and they didn't charge me a cent. read more

I always receive horrible customer service when I attempt to purchase my dog's flea medication. I am African American and I feel as if it is an issue. A few of my African American co workers have complained about the customer service they received and we have concluded our treatment is based on our race. The actual vet is pleasant and very accommodating but the front staff are two short of witches. read more

My sister and I have been taking our dogs to Dr. Patrick for about 7 years. I had a couple of bad experiences with other vets in the Charleston area, and I was thrilled to find him! The entire staff is so great... They are so friendly and personable! Throughout the past 7 years, we've had all kinds of dogs: puppies, elderly, big, small, and they were all treated very well. A few years ago, one of my elderly dogs was very sick. He spent the weekend at the emergency vet, and after $2000, they were still convinced he was going to die. Monday morning, I took him to Dr. Patrick, where he stayed for four more days. They nursed him back to life and my bill was only $40! read more

Everyone is more than friendly. Luckily only been in for checkups and shots, but everyone seems very competent.

I have always received the best help at Dr. Patrick's office. He did a surgery on my dog for about half of what I was quoted at another vet. That was several years ago and the dog is great. The office is always packed with people and pets when I go there. It seems a lot of people feel the same way that I do about Dr. Patrick and his staff. read more

I don't care where you go in this country, you won't find a better veterinary practice, ANYWHERE. Friendly staff and vets, great and warm service, and reasonable pricing. TRUST me when I say this is the best vet in Charleston. Only caution, good + affordable = BUSY! Get there early and be prepared to wait a bit. They do offer a dropoff service, however, so you can leave your pet and pick him up later on - great for busy folks! read more

My husband and I just adopted a cat, and I wish I still lived in Charleston so her Vet could be Patrick Veterinary Clinic! I adopted a cat about 3 years ago in Charleston and took her to Patrick Vet Clinic and my experience was wonderful. When I adopted her she had a respiratory infection and I had been giving her medicine for it, and took her to Patrick for a basic exam and get her information in their system because I wanted them to be her primary vet. Plus they give free exams within 10 days of adopting a pet from local shelters. After the medicine I gave her was gone she was still sick, so about 5 days after I had taken her to Patrick I took her back. They did a full exam again and gave me another medicine for her, and only charged me about $10 for the medicine, I wasn't charged for the exam, and I decided to buy some Revolution from them for about $25. My experience was great, the staff is wonderful and know how to treat animals. Gidget was all better after the medicine they gave me was gone. Right now I'm looking for a Vet in Norfolk, VA but I'm afraid I won't ever find a place as good as Patrick Veterinary! read more

Fabulous service, great doctor. The walk-in aspect was great instead of having to get an appointment. Inexpensive.

The first reviewer is definitely spot-on about Dr. Patrick. I used to take my cat to All Creatures, since it was right down the street from my house. After I had her spayed there, she got very ill, the area around her sutures swelled up to the size of a large egg, and her stomach was pink and hot, and her incision would not stop bleeding. After All Creatures charged me another $170 to draw off some of the accumulating fluids and give her antibiotics, and my cat only got worse, a friend recommended Dr. Patrick. He brought her right in, treated her, and kept her over night-- FOR FREE all because he felt so bad that someone would botch a routine procedure so badly. Dr. Patrick saved my cat's life on my very first visit, and has continued providing me prompt, inexpensive treatment ever since. He's a man who really cares about animals and really understands that they're our furry little best friends (not to mention how seasoned and competent he and his whole crew are). read more

Patrick Veterinary Clinic genuinely cares about the animal, and not about money. I work closely with a local rescue, and we take almost all of our animals here for many different types of health issues. They always work with us and guide us in the right direction. A couple of vets have given me their personal contact information, just in case there were any problems. One of the vets even adopted one of our dogs. Needless to say, I am very happy here and I will always recommend Patrick Veterinary Clinic to any pet owner. read more

There are tons of vets significantly closer to me that take reservations. But going to Patrick veterinary clinic, I know my babies will be taken care of. These doctors aren't here because of the money. They are here because they LOVE animals! They do not take reservations and the wait is long. But when you get in, you will see why so many come here. The only time I would ever go anywhere else is because they were closed and I had an emergency. The staff is the same. I went today and the line was out the door. You walk in and the staff can be grumpy being so busy but they are the friendliest staff ever. As for price, again they are obviously not in this for the money because I am always surprised at how reasonable my bill is. read more

Love this vet and the convenience factor of being able to go in on my schedule. The drop off option makes it really convenient too. They are so sweet to my golden retriever (who sometimes still acts like a wild puppy). Prices are fair and reasonable and they waive the cost of the annual office visit for the dr fee. And give discounts for more than one dog too! read more

Whether it's humane advice about the last days of an old friend, or the joy of a new puppy or kitten, Dr. Patrick's clinic is the most affordable and supportive vet in town. I've occasionally tried someone else because Dr. Patrick's is downtown and I'm not, but in the end I return to Dr. Patrick. The charges are all reasonable. This practice doesn't gouge clients with unnecessary tests. When my cat became gravely ill, I had to be referred to a specialist at another clinic. Even though my cat was now officially in the care of another vet, Patrick Vet Clinic continued to advise me and assist me in the decision making process, even helping me sort out what I might expect in terms of costs of one type of treatment versus another. I don't know that what I experienced is what others should expect -- this has been my preferred vet for a long time -- but I know that everyone will receive competent care at fair prices. Dr. Patrick, the senior, is now assisted by his son and a variety of other vets. I find it reassuring to know that the practice benefits from vets who are fresh out of school as well as Dr. Patrick, who is seasoned and practical. Be prepared to wait. Patrick Vet Clinic sees patients as they come through the door, unless there's an emergency. Take a book. Once you're taken back to see the doc, though, it's a matter of minutes. read more

Growing up Dr. P was always our vet for our dogs. So there was no other place where I would think to take our newly adopted Mazie than Patrick Veterinary Clinic. Unfortunately we did not get to see Dr. P, rather Dr. Deason who was just as nice. Mazie loved her, and Dr. Deason was very thorough. It can be a little inconvenient that no appointments are taken, but I truly think they are worth the wait. read more

My cats have been patients at Patrick Veterinary Clinic for some time. Just recently, I brought one of my girls in to be examined for sudden bowel/intestinal issues, with a sample of her bloody stool. I had to drop her off in the morning and pick her up later that afternoon after work. The vet tech who brought her out to my car said they could not find anything wrong with her, that the x-ray did not show any obstruction, that there was nothing abnormal with the fecal sample, and that the medication she was handing me was an appetite stimulant. I was confused because this cat has never had any problems with food. I asked - So there's nothing wrong with her? She just repeated that they didn't find anything. Well I didn't give my cat the appetite stimulant because she doesn't need an appetite stimulant, and she didn't have any more blood in her stool after that instance, so it seemed like everything was ok. Now, two weeks later, my cat has awful diarrhea, and when I called the vet, I was asked if I had given her the antibiotic. I told them that I didn't receive an antibiotic, just the appetite stimulant that I had not given her because she doesn't need it. After many long minutes on hold, it turns out that the medication I was given for my cat was an antibiotic for intestinal bacteria, but I was misinformed by their employee. Neither the office manager I spoke to, nor the doctor I had to repeatedly tell the office manager I wanted to speak to, seemed the least bit alarmed or concerned about the fact that their staff member gave me the wrong information about a medication my sick cat needed. Instead, I was told to come back if my cat needed more medication, and then I was dismissed without so much as an apology, let alone sympathy for my cat's continued distress. Goodbye Patrick Veterinary Clinic. My cats deserve the attention and compassion of a kind and caring veterinary staff. read more

the greatest people ever. They are the nicest vets and techs, and won't ever up-charge you or rip you off. My dog was not nearly as nervous here as he's been at other vets. Dr Patrick was incredibly kind and helpful, and there's no reason to take your pet anywhere else. read more
