Very happy and appreciative for the excellent service I received for my kitty. Dr. Theus answered my questions and explained a plan for getting my kitty feeling better. The assistant was wonderful and staff very pleasant. Good experience.

Absolutely nothing could have made our appointment better. It exceeded my expectations so much. Dr. Theus was by far the most kind and pleasant vet we have ever seen. She explained everything so well even my kids could understand what was going on. She was provided a humane treatment for our boy while respecting out one Income situation. We agreed on a plan to help our dog get better. So happy we found this practice. Prices are definitely reasonable.

They did a great job helping my puppy. They even took us in unexpectedly while still having their original appointments. I was so worried, but they really set me at ease. The veterinarian was really really nice and knew exactly what he was doing. I will be sure to return to get my pup her shots. I can't thank him enough! Such a calm environment as well, highly recommend this place.

We've been taking our dogs and cats to WAH for 15+ years, always getting professional attention, and never feeling like we were being dismissed without action to our pet's concerns. or being upsold on unnecessary treatments of medications. Dr Duffy and his team are kind, thorough and professional. I trust them and will continue to take our most beloved pets to their office.

I absolutely love this place these people are so sincere, very friendly and professional. Dr. Duffy took Harley in today with a booked schedule and did a biopsy. I will never take my dogs anyother place.

It's been a long time since I've owned a pet, and they have made me feel at ease. I appreciate the great customer service, attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. They call to check on my kitten. They fit you in for urgent needs.

Ago Brought my baby here a year ago for a dental cleaning. They told me she had a heart murmur and they were so hyper focused on that and her periodontal disease that they didnt give her a thorough examine. How do i know? They didnt discuss none of the other issues my dog has that was told to me by previous vets. Her bloodwork showed slightly abnormal and she directly blamed it on periodontal disease. Knowing that my dog has perio she didnt prescribe any meds to hold her over, I HAD TO CALL AND ASK. moving on, Well now ive gone to another vet that did a thorough exam and i find out my dog has an infection that couldve been prevented with antibiotics a year ago but now she has to have emergency surgery or shes just going to die. Im saying all this mainly bc i want the vet to see, you dropped the ball with this one-- from healthcare professional to another Please do better.

After being referred to this vet by a good friend. We drove from oconee to winder Saturday morning at 9:30. We arrive with only 2 cars in the parking lot. When we get in, there is one lady waiting and one person in a room. The lady at the front desk went back and ask Dr. Duffy If we could be seen. The lady at the front desk returned and informed us we needed an appointment and they had couple of emergencies so they could not see us.

And that they only had one doctor working. I informed her I was referred there by a current client and had drove 30 min. And we were new to the area and was looking for a new vet. So needless to say we went to another vet after being turned away. All the years of using vets I never knew you needed appointment on a Saturday. Especially when your dog is injured and needs attention.

I would never use this group again very in professional. Another note I would have not minded if I waited a couple hours to be seen. However this let me know what kind of service they would provide!

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR PET DO NOT BRING THEM HERE! My dog was diagnosed with a simple pain in his back hips. He was given meds and told he would be fine in a couple of weeks. They could not have been anymore wrong. After two weeks he still was in pain, so we went to Dacula Animal Hospital. We found out he actually had a bulging disc in his neck. Hopefully it hasn't been to long and the right meds will fix him. If not he'll have to have a $3500 surgery to correct it. Thanks winder we'll send you the bill.

Well this morning, we had to have our 4 legged baby put to sleep due to all the pain he has had to live with due to this Dr. Removing a anal gland and botching his bottom. Pain meds no longer was working and the other major surgery from a real surgeon, no longer worked. Oh yes, the pain was not in his head as we were told several times! All about the money!

We've been coming to WAH for 10yrs now, through 4 dogs. They can be a little pricey but for good reason the quality of service has always been outstanding. Every time we go, they always make a big deal that we're there, especially Andrea, she is awesome! Dr. Duffy is so great at explaining things and takes his time doesn't rush or make you feel rushed.

Never really had any issues looking back. We had to put our boxer down, he had lymphoma, they were so respectful and patient with us. I've read through some of the other reviews and am shocked because everything has always been so great for us!

Yesterday morning around 7am my family said goodbye to our 2 year old golden retriever, Gracie. Gracie had epilepsy and would have frequent seizures. WAH prescribed her 3 different types of medicine but the seizures never subsided. Over the past few months Gracie's nose became extremely dry, very abnormal for a dog. Of course, common sense tells us that when a dog has a dry nose it usually means the dog isn't well.

My mom took Gracie to the WAH and they told my mom that her nose was dry due to digging and it was nothing to be concerned about. Last Friday Gracie's nose began to bleed and then her mouth started bleeding, this continued for 48 hours straight. My parents immediately brought her into WAH on Monday where they held her to "watch" her and diagnose the bleeding.

When my mom went to pick her up at 4pm Gracie's two front legs were bandaged up and her leg was extremely swollen. When my mom took Gracie to WAH she was able to stand and walk, when we brought her home after the visit she was unable to walk at all. Shortly after, Gracie stopped breathing while at home and she passed away. My family did some research on our own and it clearly states that dry nose on a dog is a serious matter, but WAH didn't take the time to actually diagnose the issue which could've prevented her passing.

This place is unprofessional, inconsiderate and an embarrassment. I will never recommend anyone take their pets here! We lost a family member yesterday and WAH hasn't even called to send their condolences. Words cannot describe the anger I have towards this facility.

If I could give them no stars, I would. Winder Animal Hospital is heartless and unprofessional. Two days ago, we brought my dog Gracie to the vet because she was having issues with blood clotting. Other than that, she was still walking, eating, jumping, and being her usual self. After taking some blood, the vet advised us to take Gracie home and we would receive the test results in the morning.

When we got home with Gracie, her front leg was purple and swollen- 3 times the size of her normal leg. Additionally, her hind leg was swollen and purple. The vet never advised us what to do once we got home, she made it seem as if Gracie would be back in the morning after the test results returned. That morning we were suppose to receive the test results, Gracie stopped breathing and passed.

My mom called and left a voicemail to ask for the test results and advised them that Gracie passed. The vet still has not returned our call and never gave us the test results. She didn't even show any sympathy for our loss. Again, Gracie was only 2 and a half years old and PERFECTLY fine before we took her to the vet. But as soon as we took her to Winder Animal Hospital, she couldn't walk.

She stopped eating. She couldn't even use the bathroom. I don't know what they did to her and I really hope she wasn't in pain when she passed. We paid $400 that day just for her to pass away and get no test results back. Also, Gracie's nose was dry and cracking for several months and up the her last day, so we brought it up to the vet.

They said it was nothing and just a result of her "digging". If you even google "dry dog nose", it clearly brings up in big, bold letters that this is a sign that something is wrong with your dog. You only care about money and you have no sympathy for your customers. The least you could do is give us answers. But all we know is that we will never come near this place again and taking our two other dogs somewhere better.

Winder animal hospital is not just a business they are family. They saved both of my cats lives. They have welcomed my Rottweiler in for pain management of hip dysplasia. They are always so kind and welcoming when I come in. Doctor Fowler is awesome. She is always patient and makes sure that every need is met and every question is answered. The environment is clean and comfortable.

The techs are gentle and helpful. Andrea and Stacie are outstanding with customer service. You can tell that they enjoy working in this family oriented animal hospital. Five stars isn't enough for this review. I can't see myself going anywhere else.
