“JJ my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ingested a rare highly toxic life threatening poison. We I called Welcome Waggin staff promptly relayed to Dr. Worthington who said she would see him as soon as I could come. (Today was a surgery day for her so she wasn’t normally scheduling appointments.).I arrived in 10 minutes, quick check in and JJ taken to the back. Dr Worthington came and spoke with me with a compassionate comprehensive plan - she had already conferred with ASPCA Poison Control. She articulated the gravity of this poison (Size of a Tylenol tablet can kill) but shared cautions optimism that due to a rapid treatment she might be able recover some of the poison from his stomach and supportive care may be successful. (There is no antidote). She called me with a detailed update - success with interventions - and that JJ was resting. He might need to be transferred at the end of the day to Emergency Vet and spend the night. :4:30 in the afternoon I was able to take my baby home!!! Dr Worthington instructed me on home care follow up appointments and provided medication for his liver. Many thanks do Dr. Worthington and her kind staff.“

“Dr Olson is fantastic with my exotics. I have a degu who has diabetes and I was having to drive to Raleigh every few months for sedated bloodwork. Dr Olson said "let me see what i can do" and took it upon herself to reach out to the vet i see there and do her own research on how to conduct the glucose testing for him. Not only that, but she got it done before i even left the clinic and didn't need to use any sedation at all. The staff there are so knowledgable, helpful and always super sweet and ask me questions about my exotics. Thank you guys so much for all you do! Will definitely be bringing my Oakley back here for his glucose monitoring from now on :)“

“I would give Dr. Stewart and his team 10 stars if possible. You can see how much they truly care about your furry babies. He saved a previous stay that came to me a few weeks ago after getting hit by a car. He saved Clovers life by amputating her back legs. I cannot believe how much he worked with me with price! We NEED people and places like this. Thank you so much!“

“I love 10th Street Animal Hospital, have used them for years with all my many animals. Saw Dr. Geyer yesterday as she is monitoring my Casey for bowel disease that is being managed well under her care. All the Vets, techs and staff are caring professionals who go above and beyond for the care of the animals that come for care.

Drs. Geyer and Smith, animal care techs Jess and Ned, the whole staff at the front desk and that is just yesterday’s visit. We love the practice regardless of who we see, who the animal tech is and who checks us in and out. Just a great group of people!

We have taken our animals to different vets through the years but once we decided on 10th Street Vet Hospital, we have never looked back. The Vets are topped notch, the vet animal techs are professional and personable, leaving the office staff that field a wide array of questions, clients and their pets.

August 2021
10th Street veterinarians and staff are a very competent, and highly professional, group to take care of all of our dogs and cats. I could not think of ever leaving their care of our animals to anyone else.

November 2021
I cannot thank Dr. Geyer and Paige for helping my Jack Russell, Casey, over the rainbow bridge. Dr. Geyer had been instrumental in getting our Casey diagnosed with chronic bowel disease 4 years ago, Casey was quite the pup at 14 years old but loved her vet, Dr. Geyer. Thank you 10th Street for taking such good care of her.

Later November 2021
Dr. Smith has been following our cat Max for the last two years when he developed diabetes. We have had him tested every 3 months, adjusting his insulin as needed. Now his glucose is in control so his insulin is now 2 units twice a day, from a high of 8 units of insulin twice a day. Max is a Hoss weight-wise but reducing the insulin is exceptional!

February 2022
My animals have always been treated well by staff and veterinarians, Their care has been the best and professionalism is always on point.

Max, my diabetic cat, goes in every three months to check his fructosamine level for insulin adjustment. Dr. Smith is very knowledgeable and keeps Max, and his owners, compliant.

January 2024
All of our animals are well taken care of at 10th Street Veterinarian Hospital, whether they are sick or going in for vaccinations and checkups. The staff are very caring and the animal techs are personable and knowledgeable as to how to get the best out of our pets. We have some like our Max, diabetic cat, who is none too thrilled to go since he goes for glucose curves. This time he did not hiss at anyone, progress is being made. I cannot thank Drs. Smith and Geyer enough, the animal techs: Ned, Dia, Alyssa, Kendall, Paige, Selena and Jess just to name a few. The office staff is very attentive to what is going on in the waiting area as well as answering the office phones. Good people who really care!

June 2024
Max went in to get a weight check, thyroid and fructosamine tests since developing hyperthyroidism. His weight had dropped by 3 lbs in the last month when seen early May, thinking it was due to his diabetes but ended up having a good glucose curve, then thyroid was suspected. Testing confirmed it and was given some cream to rub on inner ear. This was the checkup and he is normal for now.

August 2024 is checkup month for our pets, so in three days, 4 pets got seen. Max was in for his weight check, senior blood chemistry panel, thyroid results, and fructosamine level. Pooky was in for a senior panel, Pete was in for senior panel, weight loss and diarrhea, Molly was in for blood work, Bordetella vaccination, and has an ear infection. Given antibiotics and ear drops. All got rabies shots. Max and Pete will get an ultrasound soon and be assessed based on results for weight loss. This practice has been so good to our pets, esp Drs. Geyer a“

“Excellent care. This was the first visit, so I can update if anything changes. Otherwise, I recommend them.“

“Dr. McLawhorn is one of a kind. Over the years, I have seen many veterinarians for my dogs. None even come close to the knowledge and expertise he has. He truly cares for the animals he treats and doesn’t prioritize profit over their well-being. It will be a sad day when he retires!“

“Dr. Catherine Geyer is easily one of the best veterinarians I've ever had the pleasure to meet, and I've met dozens due to lots and lots of moving. She is not only highly intelligent and clearly experienced, she is a truly lovely person. Her diagnoses have been spot-on every time, and her gentle intuitive approach puts our pets at ease (and us as well) while more serious things may be going on. This is exactly the kind of vet you hope you find when you first move to a new place. We trust her with all of the furry ones. My entire family would like to thank Dr. Geyer and the entire team for how lovingly they helped us as we recently had to say goodbye to our Sebastian. Grief is an extremely personal feeling. Everyone's compassion and kindnesses meant so much.“

“I usually do not write reviews, but they are very deserving of one....This clinic is AWESOME!!!! I can't tell you how satisfied I am with Dr. Mercer and Staff. We recently got a new puppy and got all of her shots there. We went there because the "other" vet would not get us in for a couple of weeks....we have been going to the other one for about 15+ years.... Let me tell you why...... A couple of weeks later, "Sandy" had an ear infection and we took her in. They explained and then provided instruction on how to clean the ears and put in the medicine. The following day, I received a text from the Dr. who was checking in on her. Several months later we had her spayed. Once again, the Dr. texted us at the end of the day and again the following day to see how Sandy was doing. I have NEVER experienced this with any of the vets I've used. I can tell you that we won't be using the "other" vet for our cats any longer!!!!. The Dr's and the staff care and go above and beyond to let you know that they are thinking about you and your furry friend! Thank you very much! God Bless East Carolina Veterinary Service! Edward J.“

“I have taken my baby Finley to Dr. Heath now for about 3 years. She is so wonderful. Her staff has taken such care of her. On the 30th of July we had to say goodbye to our girl after Dr. Heath did everything she could to save her. They were so great in our time of sorrow. I wouldn't take my baby anywhere else.“

“Always friendly and helpful. You can tell the people that work there love our fur babies as much as we do. So glad I found this place. Both of my babies do not mind going for a visit.“

“Just had my first visit - Baxter came with to keep me safe. They were so nice! I think they are keepers!“

“I love this vet and their employees so much. Sadly we just had to lay one of our babies to rest and they were so amazing through the entire process. As you can imagine, it's very emotional to do such a thing but they never once made me feel uncomfortable and their staff were so kind and caring yet professional. Highly recommend- every vet we've had there has been so caring and kind and you can tell they love their jobs. Great vet all around!“

“Having pets since I was a young boy, I can honestly say that the Firetower Animal Clinic is in a league all its own. I've done multiple reviews on this facility, and I will continue to give five stars. Rudy is now a senior canine which in itself presents new health issues. My wife noticed a spot on his back which had an odor. She took him in, once again, as a walk-in. The Staff worked him in to be seen. Sure enough, what we suspected was ringworm was verified. He also had a bloodshot eye. Medication was prescribed and Rudy went home. Please support this facility! You won't be disappointed.“

“I had the difficult choice of letting my dog Apollo go and the staff was more than understanding and kind in my grief.“
