The care and tact from the entire staff is so appreciated. Specially during difficult times. They didn't rush me and they discussed all options, provided me with time and patience. They've handled my babies as if they were theirs. read more

Social Circle Veterinary Hospital - my baby - Veterinarians Near Me - Social Circle, Georgia

We normally board our German Shepard at Wellspring Animal Hospital in Covington, but they were full for the time that we had requested. They recommend that we try their sister hospital in Social Circle. After using Wellsprings boarding service twice with no issues at all, it made sense to use Social Circle Veterinary Hospital. This turned out to be a very bad decision. On Monday, we took our dog over for a walk through 5 days before leaving him for boarding, to see if he would have problem. No issues were noted and they said that he was ok to stay there. Saturday, we brought him to start his stay. They ask me sign a letter permitting them to give him Trazodone to use for relief of anxiety. I signed it thinking that it would not be needed, nor was it used during his previous stays at the sister site. During our trip I called them on the Wednesday to see how he was doing, they put me on hold to check his status. They came back to the phone and said they he was ok, he was eating ok and had just been out side. No mention of any issues or problems. Came back to pick him up on Thursday, and they told me they had to use Trazodone starting the day we brought him in Saturday. We never received a call on Saturday while we were still here, now anything during our trip. They did not contact our son who was listed to be contacted if something should happen. When I called, they did not mention that they had been giving him Trazodone starting the day we dropped him off. GSD are known to be active; they apparently were not prepared for this and decide to use this as an excuse to do a money grab. They added a doctor office visit $78.00, 100mg Trazodone $39.50 and jacked up the boarding stay from $29.00 a day to $50.70. I talked with Maggie about this and she said that there was a problem with communication and that she was going to look into it. Lesson learned the hard way make sure you know where you are boarding our pet and don't sign any medication waivers. I'm very disappointed at the recommendation that Wellsprings made. Their sister hospital leaves a lot to be desired, clearly, they are not operated, equipped or staffed the same. read more

Social Circle Veterinarians were open and available on a Friday afternoon when all other veterinary offices were closed or didn't have a veterinarian available. Our border collie was badly injured at a kennel and we were calling every veterinarian in the area. Social Circle veterinarian offices were open and gladly assisted us with her care. All the technicians and veterinarians are kind and helpful. We are changing from our previous vet to Social Circle. The offices are clean and tidy which often indicates behind the scenes practices. read more

Now, three of my fur babies have had the pleasure of being treated by Social Circle vet They're the best. Educated, affordable, most importantly: caring read more

Sorry....Dr Vella gave me "her" cell number. I bet Dr White does it at Conyers, too! One other thing on a review before...always check your bill before leaving..everyone is human. I caught a mistake once at SS and they double checked with the back (techs) and erased it from my bill...it was a mistake. This goes for all business transactions...not just vets. read more

Kind and caring doctors of veterinary medicine. Outstanding practice of medicine! Love all the staff. This clinic has affordably taken care of my dogs, cats, and goats for many years with love, kindness and compassion. As for the poster who made a negative review regarding pricing, if you called and made an appointment with Dr Vella, you would have been charged an office visit. As for your follow up calls to other vets, of course they are going to tell you why you want to hear... they want your business! I'm sure if you had called and told the staff of Social Circle Veterinary Hospital that you had a budget, or really didn't need to see a veterinarian, you would have had no office visit. That is what's called a "Tech Chart", wherein a technician takes your pet back, draws the blood for a heart worm test, and runs the pet by a veterinarian to administer the Rabies vaccine. I've worked for many veterinary clinic and this is the standard protocol. As for heartworm testing, it is required, by law, that all dogs get tested every 12 months prior to administration of heartworm preventative. If a dog does not have a negative heartworm test on file at the clinic you are visiting, it is customary that a staff member would call your previous vet to get a verbal confirmation that the pet was negative on its heartworm test, followed up with a fax of that documentation. As for nail trims, I've never seen a vet not charge for one except in the very rare case that just a nail or two needed to be clipped. Cut ALL veterinary staff, veterinarians and technicians a break, many of them school longer than physicians and nurses, run the risk of being bitten, scratched, or otherwise injured on a daily basis, let alone have to deal with people who neglect their pets and then bring them in on death's door. Just my .02 read more

I thank they are great! I take my dog(WonTon) and cat (Mr. Meow). I just started going back to the Vet in Social Circle after a few years. The only thing that bothers me is the cost (but I'm still going to take my pets there). They are really that good. read more

I started using this vet in June. I was more than pleased with the service I had received from Dr. White. I had finally thought, "Wow, I've found a Vet I can handle." This has quickly made a turn for the worse. Since June I've spent approximately $1200 on my dogs at this clinic. Reason ranging from having my female spayed, and male neutered, to snake bites, to heart guard prevention. I am not sure if the doctors have changed, but I took my male to be neutered this past Friday. Unlike when I took my female I had to go out of my way to keep checking up on him. I made a call at 11:30am to see his progress. I was told he was going into surgery, and they would call me as soon as he was out. So I waited, and waited, until 2:00 when I called back and couldn't get through on the line for 30 minutes. Once getting through I spoke with Jacob (who is one of the very personable and nice reps here). He stated the anesthesia had worn off and I could come pick him up. Wow, so no call after I was told they would call me. Ok, I'll let it slide. This morning I had an appointment for my two females. They needed a rabies and heart worm test, along with one needing a nail clipping. The visit went fine, I dealt with a doctor I've never seen before, Vella I believe. Upon check out she stated my total was $289.00. I wondered but didn't question it at the time, because I have two 60-80 dogs pulling on my 8.5 month pregnant body. I just wanted to get back home. Once getting into my vehicle and looking at the invoice. I have a $38.00 annual exam fee for each dog, plus $28.00 heart worm test, $17.00 rabies, and $14.28 nail clipping. The testing and the rabies I asked for, and the nail clippings, even though that seemed rather pricey. I've never been charged for a nail clipping on any of my dogs anywhere before. I went back inside to asked why I was charged $76 of unnecessary exam charges. I was given several excuses which all don't add up. One was bc they have to check them before the rabies unless I sign a waiver. Well no one gave me that option, and last month I took my puppy in for a rabies signed the waiver and bam $17! Done. They couldn't back that excuse up anymore. The second was that it's because I was prescribed heart guard. Umm that's not true because I paid for the heart worm test. They're only required to be tested yearly. So does that mean you're going to charge me another $38 for each dog when I come to get a new box of heart guard in 6 months? I think not. Upon getting nowhere and several excuses later I called several other vet clinics to make sure I wasn't crazy. They all stated for just rabies and a heart worm test there is no office visit charge. So after spending mass amounts of money with the clinic and still feeling like I've been screwed I think I'm going to take my business back to Sigman. Thanks for teaching me to be too trusting with who I trust taking care of my pets. read more

I had been going to Dr. Jackson for several years. This year the practice was bought out by Conyers Animal Hospital. Of course it is right at this time that my cat became very ill. So, even though I was dealing with the same office staff, the doctors were new to me. With my concern about her and a weekend coming up, Dr. White gave me his cell phone number and when I texted him with a concern, he called me back (on a Sunday) and spent plenty of time discussing her symptoms with me. They always fit her in for appointments even when very busy. As it turned out, my cat was very ill with cancer and we had to euthanize her. Dr. Vella was in the office that day and she and the entire staff went out of their way to make the process less painful for both my cat and myself. I highly recommend them. read more
