I highly recommend Dr. Pressly. His approach to veterinary medicine is both efficient and clinically effective, and his compassion is evident in every interaction. He prioritizes the well‑being of animals above all else, offering affordable care and selecting cost‑effective surgical packages that best meet the needs of his patients. His integrity and dedication make him an exceptional veterinarian. His staff too are always pleasant and helpful! Thank you! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Pressly. He is truly exceptional. As someone who has had some very difficult and disappointing veterinary experiences in the past, I was honestly nervous about bringing my cats anywhere. But from the very first visit, Dr. Pressly completely changed that for me. You can genuinely tell that his heart and mind are fully invested in what he does, and most importantly, in the well-being of the animals. That level of compassion and dedication is rare and incredibly reassuring.The front desk staff is always friendly, welcoming, and quick to respond, which makes every interaction smooth and stress-free. The care, professionalism, and kindness shown by the entire team are simply outstanding. I would recommend this practice to absolutely anyone. The care here is truly amazing, and I am so grateful to have found a veterinarian I trust with my pets. read more

It started with an emergency call on Wed, May 6, 2026. My dog Kygo is not a regular patient of Pressly Animal Hospital and this Hospital was highly recommended by Miller Animal Hospital whom we have used in the past. We have had a wonderful experience by both staff and Dr's, especially Dr. Bellomo, who has explained to us step by step the surgical procedure that our dog was going to have and made everything comforting and assured us that Kygo will be alright. I honestly wish this facility was closest to where I live in Cleveland County, I would bring all of my dogs there. Thank you again for saving our Kygo's life. Cathy A read more

Dr. Pressly has always taken nothing but the best care of all of our animals. His knowledge and the care he and his team deliver is understated, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I took my dog Henry here for his annual round of shots and exams. $300 later I was happy he was updated with everything. Thought it was a little expensive but ya know, whatever. 24 hours laters he's thrown up 7 times and had diarrhea twice. I thought, maybe it's just vaccine sensitivity. He tends to throw up when he's nervous anyways. 4 days later it's nonstop. He can't keep anything down, the house is a mess, he's not drinking anything. So I call the vet and ask what I can do. He suggests I bring him in for another appointment. I'm a 26 yo single income girl, I can't afford another appointment. So I asked if he had an over the counter method. He suggested a clean diet (which I had already started him on myself) and Imodium, which he explained is an anti diarrhea medicine. Awesome. So on the way home from work I google how much I should give Henry, since the vet didn't tell me at all. THE FIRST THING I SEE ON GOOGLE: "Never give Imodium to a dog with the MDR1 gene mutation (common in breeds like Collies, Australian Shepherds, and Shetland Sheepdogs) without explicit veterinary instruction and supervision. This mutation affects how a dog's body processes certain medications, including Imodium, and can lead to serious neurological side effects." And what is Henry? An Australian Shepherd. So this vet told me Imodium, no dosage specification. No supervision. Probably did not even look to see what kind of dog I had. Thank god I checked because I don't know what I would've done if something worse than diarrhea and throw up happened. I'll never trust another vet again, but thanks for the $300 vaccines. read more

I was recommended Pressly Animal Hospital by a family member who had spoken very highly of Dr. Drake. Since I've taken my dog there, starting about a year ago, I've been extremely pleased. I was at a different vets office when my dog developed a severe cough. The vet he was seeing came up with several possibilities and treatments and none worked. I decided to get another opinion and went to Dr. Drake at Pressly. He immediately checked a couple things and found the cause. (Something I would've never expected). Got us in for surgery immediately and my boy has been fine ever since. The whole staff at Pressly is genuine and warm. I've enjoyed every visit we've made and will continue to recommend them to anyone in need of a great vet. They always reach out to check in on my animals after procedures which I find amazing and very uncommon for other vets. 10/10 recommend these wonderful people! read more

Awesome vet! Very attentive! You leave with the peace of mind you pet has been well taken care of and not being sold to. Easy scheduling and the staff are excellent with their communications and very friendly! read more

We started bringing our two boys to see both Dr Pressley and Dr Drake about 3years ago and have been very happy with the care. One of dogs has been recently diagnosed as diabetic and they have been on top of his meds and educating us on how to treat him at home. Our other boy has developed skin issues since moving to Charlotte and they were on the ball about trying to determine the etiology and made the appropriate referral to the local veterinary dermatologist to ease his discomfort. FYI, our boys are littermates from a shelter in Washington state and are going 10 years old. Excellent care!!!! read more

Will no longer use daycare or vet services. Disappointed. Rushed through vet appointment. Playcare does not communicate well.

Came across this vet when we adopted a puppy. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. I would recommend this location due to their knowledgeable staff, compassion and fair pricing. read more

I spent 200 for an annual exam and shots . A few days later, the vet office sent an email saying my dog was due to come in. I called and explained we had just been there. She went on to say, they did not get a stool sample and I should bring one in for testing and there would be no charge. So I drop it off as requested, get a phone call from Dr Drake, the vet, asking what I want done with it.. I explain to him what happened and there are email to verify. He was extremely rude, acted like he didn't believe me, and said they didn't do anything without charging. This DOC needs to get his facts straight before calling a new customer that just dropped 200 bucks on an annual exam and shots. Overpriced, overrated, and a bully for a vet read more

We where told we had to put down our baby boy, he was almost 12. He was very sick and on his way to heaven, it was the hardest thing to go through, but couldn't of done it with out Pressley hospital. The staff and Dr's where very helpful. I now bring my boxer Gia and RR .... Dexter read more

Let me begin by saying my dog had been going to another vet her whole life but had recently been referred to a specialist. I was told she had pancreatitis and sent home with a bundle of medications to administer. After about two weeks of treatment I was getting increasingly worried about my dog's progress. I chose to bring her to Pressly Animal Hospital for a third opinion. Within 10 minutes, Dr. Pressly had diagnosed my dog correctly. Unfortunately my dog was too far gone and didn't make it but I am so grateful for the expertise and compassion I found at Pressly Animal Hospital. The staff even took the time to make a paw and nose print of my dog as a keepsake for me. I will definitely be taking any future pets to Pressly Animal Hospital!!! read more

Pressly Animal Hospital has a dedicated and informed staff that makes getting your pet treated a real pleasure. I take my dog and cat there. My dog is 12 years old, has some arthritis, and the veterinary team suggested acupuncture (every two months) to give him relief. It worked beautifully and I'm happy that Pressly Animal Hospital offers alternative treatments to medication, which may only mask the actual problem and not resolve it. My dog needed a cleaning and teeth extracted this week. Dr. Drake and Abby worked with me starting last week so I could prepare for his recovery. The day of the extraction, Dr. Drake called me several times with updates and instructions on what to keep an eye out for and how to make sure my dog was comfortable and healing well. You can't beat the excellent communication, excellent treatment, and super friendliness of Pressly Animal Hospital. Drop off and pick up is very convenient and COVID-friendly. Thank you all! read more

Was in the area visiting for the holidays when my 10 year old girl started demonstrating a lot of pain and sensitivity to touch. Despite not being a regular, they got me an appointment the same day and took great care of her, diagnosing her with Spondylosis and a fractured bone spur and prescribing medication to control her pain and help her heal. I appreciated the compassion and next-day callback when I had some concerns about reaction to medication. Would not hesitate to bring Daisy here regularly if I lived in the area. read more

Brought my dog here because it was required as a foster, we had an instance where he was either around an azalea bush or pollen from the bush (which we didn't know at the time) and he was very ill. I brought him in lethargic, barely able to walk, and falling in and out of sleep. He had a head tremor which I showed them a video of and they told me if could be his behavior because he's a puppy. When I got there he was peeing on the vet assistant and threw up in the parking lot. They told me he was "car sick" and gave him a vaccine for that. They gave me no information on what the vaccine was or if there were side effects. They evaluated him and said that he was fine. This vet is an absolute joke and with a google search you could realize he had all of the symptoms of plant toxin. We took him to a REAL vet instead and got everything figured out thankfully. Please for the sake of your animal do not come here, they tried to tell me his sudden peeing on himself could be stress from coming to the vet often. We had to bring him for his vaccines and for a couch he had which they also tried to tell us he never did in office, yet I sent them countless videos of him coughing..... "Dr" Drake was who saw our dog and I hope to god he isn't who sees yours. He literally said that my dog was becoming a celebrity around here, as if this was my vet of choice or as if I was enjoying that my dog was sick? Mind blown. read more

I work closely with several of the area's dog rescue groups and have taken my foster dogs to Pressly Animal Hospital on several occasions over the last couple of years. Dr. Pressly always makes himself available to help at a moment's notice in an emergency. Dr. Pressly and his staff are very friendly & knowledgeable. You will also see Dr. Pressly and his staff at community events. I highly recommend them. read more

Professional and immaculate, this veterinary hospital also has extra charming decor. I brought my chocolate lab, fudge, in for a toenail trim to check it out. They did an excellent job, were super friendly, super efficient and we can't wait to go back! read more

My dog had successful surgery here which is the only reason I don't give them 1 star here but after paying $5000 I am very disappointed with the way they treated me. Almost seemed racist. The reception people where completely rude and the vet didn't even say hello and was very dismissive. If any of my other dogs ever had an issue I wouldn't come back here. read more

If I could give more stars, I would! Got me in very quickly and although I was worried about my dog having a bowel blockage and was ready to do any test needed, after taking an x-ray, they assured me there was no blockage and he had cleared his bowels quite well in their office. I thought their fees were very fair and much better than many vets. A few days later, I noticed my dog was limping on his front leg, so back to Pressly. Again, I was ready to do x-rays or whatever else was needed. After examining him, the Doctor said he thought it was just a pulled muscle, so wanted to try giving him a muscle relaxer for several days before doing any further test. Again, the Doctor was spot on and he was walking normal a few days later. I cannot say enough good things about the Doctors and staff and Pressly Animal Hospital. Friendly, no waiting when you get there and the Doctors take plenty of time to answer your questions and examine your pet. They also do NOT recommend unnecessary test to run up your bill! read more

I respect that you can't make all people happy all of the time, so negative reviews are a reality. I have been very pleased with the care given to my growing puppy. I rescued an 8 week old boxer pit mix & she has received excellent care & ZERO judgment! Quite to opposite. She has been "ooow'd & ahh'd" over every visit-& with a puppy, there have been plenty. read more

I took my boxer mix to Dr. Presley recently with a small knot on his neck. After a very cursory exam, the vet stated it was most likely cancer and needed a very expensive biopsy. I was devastated. We cried and felt so bad for my dog. After leaving, we got a second opinion from Indian Trail animal hospital and found out the knot was just a small lesion from the training collar that was quickly healed with antibiotics. The front desk staff is awesome but can only give 1 star due to incorrect diagnosis. PS our dog is happy and healthy a year after the incorrect diagnosis. I will never return. read more

I would give zero stars if it was possible. Took my bulldog mastiff mix in with after a simple google search and another vet was an obvious yeast infection. Here's a list of disappointments: 1. His main priority was to get me to submit my dog to $500 worth of allergy testing, the next vet diagnosed his problem in 30 seconds just by looking at him. 2. After declining the test he reluctantly prescribed an antibiotic but the dosage he recommended was barely enough for 40 lb dog, my dog is 65 lbs. 3. Also prescribed steroids but didn't recommended a dosage that would ween him off slowly, just 2 pills a day then cold turkey. 4 days later he was in worse shape than before with his neck bleeding, ear infections, and raw skin between his toes. 4. Our 20 lb terrier mix also went in with anxiety issues. Drug Pusher Pressly prescribed a freaking tranquilizer ( at about $50 of course) w/ a dosage for a dog twice his size. He took one pill and 20 minutes later he literally couldn't stand up, was hobbling around dazed, and bumping into the walls like he was drunk out of his mind. It was heart breaking. A simple Google search found us a herbal calming supplement that works like a charm for about $7 a month. This Pressly guy is nothing more than a lab testing and pharmaceutical salesman that does not care or does not have the ability to truly find out what is wrong with your pet. read more

I would not recommend this vet clinic ever!! They work closely with Greater Charlotte SPCA. The problem is if you adopt from SPCA, you are told to take the dog here for spay/neuter and heartworm treatment in order for the fee to be paid for by SPCA. The SPCA told me my dog had "mild heartworms" and had appointment set with Pressly. The dog had seizures and breathing issues. I took the dog in for the appointment, my first impression was the receptionist there is not friendly or helpful at all once she knew I was bringing in rescue dog w/SPCA. I thought that was very rude, as I could have been a future client for all she knew. Once I took my dog in and relayed she had breathing issues/seizures, they did a chest Xray and found she had an enlarged heart with bullets actually from the previous owner. They moved forward and did the heart worm injection as well as spaying her. They gave me a bottle of heart medication she would need to remain on and sent me on my way. No further instructions as to do I have my vet follow up with this dog? Do I keep her on this heart medicine? etc. Nothing just a get in and get out attitude w/her. I took the dog in to be checked out after another seizure and my own personal vet explained the dog had "high positive heartworms" she did not have a "mild" case of them and she would need further treatment. My vet also mentioned that Pressly should have taken into account her enlarged heart issue. 3 weeks later I had to put the dog down, as she went into heart failure. The problem with this clinic is when they get a rescue dog from SPCA they need to be looking at the individual dog's health not just running the dogs through a mill with spaying and heartworm treatment because they have a contract or agreement to offer free services to the SPCA. Another outside vet also told me this dog was a candidate for "slow kill heartworm treatment" that takes place over a year's time using medication because she had other health issues going on, that actually this heartworm treatment killed her. This vet told me she had done this process with many rescue dogs and was very successful. After this experience I will NEVER adopt from SPCA nor would I EVER take an animal to Pressly. read more

The prices are just not competitive to Brown Creek , I'll drive a little to save . $45 just for doctor to look at my dogs testicles , $50 for medication even when he stated the look fine ??? Giving 3stars bc they are nice read more

We had just adopted our dog from animal control, he had burns on his back and they sent us here. The staff are very friendly and took wonderful car of our boy. They showed so much compassion and support. They kept him for 2 days to get him fixed, clean the scabs and give laser treatment. I don't know what we would have done the other vets just wanted us to put cream on his back and Dr. Pressly truly helped us heal his back and make it look 10x better than when we first brought him in. All the staff where nice and very sweet and loving to our boy. read more

Love this place. My dog was limping and I took him to see Dr. Pressly. After doing X-rays he concluded he had a torn ACL. Instead of trying to get me let him repair it, he recommended that I go see a specialist and did all of the blood work and forwarded the x-rays in order to save us money. Not only that, but they have a program that for every ten dollars you spend you get credits that you can use to deduct from your next bill, food or meds. The staff is awesome. They have a customer for as long as I am a pet owner. read more

The employees at this office have zero compassion for your pet. My first visit there, no one introduced themselves, the tech grabbed my dog and literally dragged him into the room even though he was very nervous. Then the vet just hoisted my pup up onto the table and started examining without speaking to me. The vets are very cold and cut and dry, so if that's what you're looking for then they are fine. My dog had surgery a few months ago and although they are good surgeons and did a good job with the procedure, they have zero people skills. Also when I finally took my dog to another vet, I found out Pressly was going to make my dog vet a vaccine that wasn't even needed. So, I assume they were probably just trying to make money off of us. I would never take my dog here again. read more

One of the worst businesses to work with and will never take any of my pets to this guy. If you want to be pressured to do unnecessary testing and medication, and if you decline to have you treated like an idiot, then go ahead and go to this place. I still gave them a second shot with another animal, and had actually have them hung up on me when trying to get more information about the procedure they were offering over the phone. Called another vet a little further drive with the same issue and had a completely different (positive) experience. read more

This is the worst experience I've ever encountered with a veterinarian! Megan, who works at the front desk, was the only pleasant part of dealing with Pressly. The doctor and other staff don't seem to care about the needs of our pet, or about our fears and concerns! read more

This is the BEST veterinary practice! Dr. Pressly and staff go above and beyond to take the best care of you pets! I'm helping to foster a dog and Dr. Pressly gave her extraordinary care, as well as helping us defray the cost and absorbing much of it himself! He really has s heart for animals and the people trying to help them. read more

I am very glad I chose Pressly Animal hospital. Everyone is very knowledgeable and they make you feel part of a family. Meagan and Ryan are great. (Ryan gets cold so he wears a hat. Don't get offended.) Dr. Drake has been fantastic in caring for our dog, who came in with kidney failure. They respect you as the pet owner and work WITH you to provide the best care possible. They are very direct and do not sugar coat. read more
