I'm incredibly grateful for the care my cat received at SAVES…read more I brought my cat from another emergency practice in Tennessee that was closing overnight, as I felt he needed monitoring at a 24-hour hospital due to a urinary obstruction. I called ahead, confirmed that his records had been sent, and when I arrived, they were already expecting us. I spoke with the doctor right away (Dr. Wedig), who clearly explained the treatment options and the need for hospitalization and extended catheter placement. I was extremely distraught at the time, and the entire team met that energy with compassion and calm reassurance. I also shared my concern about avoiding opioid sedatives due to a suspected link to the obstruction, and they were very open and respectful of that discussion. During his two-and-a-half-day hospitalization, I received daily calls from the doctor. When I called for updates myself, I was always able to get timely and helpful information. My cat was released promptly once appropriate, and I'm deeply thankful for the care that helped him recover. I hope I won't need emergency care again, but if I do, I would not hesitate to return here.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO SAVES ER!!…read more I was told by my vet to go there because they are 24/7 and have a neurology department that could perform an MRI. When I arrived I told the intake desk we needed to see a neurologist. The intake person literally wrote some notes on their hand and took my dog through a door and told me wait in the lobby. After 2 hours of no communication, I was moved to a room where a Dr. was supposed to come and tell me what was going on. After 45 minutes of waiting for the doctor, to come talk to me I went back to the front desk to ask what was happening. After another 45 minutes they put me back in the office and a Dr. finally showed up only to tell me that the neurology department is not 24/7, and that there were no neurologists on sight and that we would not be able to get an MRI, and that neither the front desk staff nor the ER Doctors could set up an appointment for my dog to see a neurologist or get an MRI the next day; They told me I could have my dog spend the night there for $1000 and MAYBE we could see a neurologist the next day and maybe get an MRI but they couldn't guarantee it. I TOLD THE INTAKE DESK WHEN I ARRIVED that the dog's issue was neurological. After 4 hours of zero care, the dr. told me there was nothing they could. The ER Dr. told me there is something wrong with his larnyx and that was contributing somehow to his hind leg problem. They provided no resources for how to care for a dog whose hind legs were no longer working and actually claimed that he WAS able to walk even though every time he walked a few inches he collapsed to the ground.. and that there is no treatment for his issue. Bottom line, he arrived unable to walk and left unable to walk. His hind legs are no longer functioning, and I had to take him back home. DO NOT take your pet to this ER! Truly horrible and traumatic experience all the way around.

I actually live in Asheville, NC now. I moved here from VT a couple of years ago. While I have had…read moreexcellent vet care for my dogs in VT and in TN in the past, most of them were not better than the folks at Animal Hospital South! I've only ever known one veterinarian who can't be topped and she is in Knoxville so I cannot go there now. The doctors, as well as the staff at Animal Hospital South are friendly and exceptional people and the clinic is very neat, clean and nice. I would highly recommend Animal Hospital South for excellent care for your pet!

I have been taking my dogs here for a couple of years. First I'll say with the exception of 1 young…read morevet that the staff are great. They are for the most part very caring people. The reason I am giving them a 1 star rating is because their pricing has become simply outrageous. I recently asked for a quote to do a dental for one of my dogs and the quote was over $1000 and any extractions would be additional. I felt this was outrageous and was given some advice to call the Animal Hospital of Marion where I got a worse case scenario quote of $518. I took my dog for an initial exam that cost me $38 and returned a few days later so he could have his dental. He is an older dog and had (3) difficult extractions. The total for his dental was $360!!!! That's right! $360.00. This included an ECG, bloodwork, (3) difficult extractions, dental, pain shot, antibiotics and pain meds. Animal Hospital South was going to charge me $330 for the bloodwork alone! Going to the Animal Hospital of Marion saved me over $700!!! Animal Hospital South should be ashamed of themselves for charging outrageous pricing such as this. Every pet owner wants to take care of their pets but when vets charge insane prices it makes it unattainable for most - this is GREED at it's absolute worst!

Compassionate, Knowledgeable, and One of a Kind Care : Thank You, Dr. McMillan and Pinnacle Animal…read moreHospital I truly cannot express my gratitude enough for Dr. McMillan and the entire team at Pinnacle Animal Hospital. When we moved to the area over 10 years ago, he immediately earned our trust by taking such tender, thoughtful care of our senior pets. When it came time to say goodbye to them, the compassion and empathy he and his staff showed us will stay with us forever. Last year, we experienced the heartbreaking loss of our 2 1/2 year old Doberman. Dr. McMillan once again went above and beyond, guiding us with care, taking time with us, and helping us through the grief. To this day, they still talk about him. That kind of connection and remembrance is something you cannot put a price on. Dr. McMillan is not just a vet. He is a caregiver who truly knows his patients and their humans. He remembers names, answers every question without rushing, calls personally with updates, and ensures we are always prepared, especially when traveling with our pets. For him, it is never about the money. It is about the life, comfort, and longevity of the animals he treats. There are plenty of veterinarians closer to where we live, but we gladly drive over 35 minutes each way to see Dr. McMillan. We simply would not trust our pets with anyone else. We are so thankful for him and his amazing team.
