Veterinarians near Mills River

“My Chihuahua, Winky needed extensive dental surgery requiring a bone graft, this had to be completed by a dental surgeon out of state. Dr.Weaver was supportive and helpful in getting this referral for me at this very busy dental surgeons office within a month. Dr.Weaver may have saved my dogs life as she prevented a very bad outcome had this surgery not been done. She also put up with my many question's and consternation about this procedure.<br>I think the biggest support was her gift of listening.<br>Dr.Weaver has done the follow up exam and will continue to follow my dog, who is doing wonderfully.<br>Dr.Weaver is an excellent and caring Veterinarian. I cannot say enough about the expertise and caring that she and the wonderful staff have provided. I am in awe I found her and the wonderful folks in the office to provide such quality and care.“

“They were most accommodating. Took us in at the last minute before closing. Dr Lisa is great and kind.“

“Best vet I've ever had. My 10 year old dog, Ziggy, had a bacterial infection on his leg for 5 months. He saw 3 other vets and was given tons of antibiotics and other meds to treat it (of course with side effects). I spent thousands on this issue with the other vets. In exasperation I drove from Asheville to Hendersonville to Dr. Howland. Dr. Howland asked if he could look at the bacteria under the microscope so we could treat the exact kind (what??why didn't the others do that?). He gave Ziggy a cream to treat it and it was gone in 2 weeks. The bill was $170. I literally was jaw dropped in the difference in care, price and customer service (the gals at the front desk are awesome too). Most vets have been bought out by private equity and run from corporate now - ie, have to give an expensive, elaborate "treatment plan" and charge at least $500 per visit but White Oak is a gem that still runs by knowledgeable skilled doctors and excellent staff.“

“We have both dogs and cats. Dr. McKisson and his whole staff are VERY knowledgeable and professional. Every member of his staff is very caring and loving to all of our animals. Dr. McKisson gets down on the floor and talks to every pet. His techniques seem to calm them and makes for a very positive experience. I highly recommend him and his staff to all my family and friends. I KNOW my pet get the best possible care . After a visit his staff or he will call the next day to assure no problems. After surgery or a complex issue I can count on him to call the next day. I have peace of mind knowing my pets get excellent care! They are in the hands of the most competent vet and his staff!! He treats every pet like they are his own!“

“My cat was ill and eventually had to be put to sleep. They kindly discussed medical options and costs. Very understanding that I didn’t have unlimited funds for the care of my sweetie. Professionally and sensitively handled. Highly recommend this practice.“

“We had the best experience with Dr. Matthew and his vet tech. Our dog and her puppies absolutely loved them. We were all treated with great care, attention and love. I would highly recommend Dr. Matthew and his team!“

“Treated like family!<br>Words cannot express the love and care we were shown in a most difficult situation. We were visiting the Asheville area with Farley (dog) and Sylvia (cat) in tow. Sylvia (age 16) became distressed and breathing labored. We needed a vet and quickly. I read a few reviews online and called WNC. They responded to our emergency and got us in quickly. It became obvious that Sylvia would not recover. They were so very kind and compassionate. They cried with us and loved on us. We were treated like family. We even received a condolence card in the mail with notes from all the folks we met there and an ink print of Sylvia's paw print. We will never forget the kindness shown. If I lived in Asheville, WNC would be our veterinarian!<br>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.“

“Dr. Julie is the best! She explains everything to you in detail and when my dog went in for surgery she took pictures and showed me exactly what she did. Very informative and she truly cares.“

“Ted is an awesome vet! We’ve used him for years! He is always so kind and very caring. He listens to what the owners say and does everything he can to make sure everyone is happy… including the animals. He’s made the worst experiences not so bad. As well as the vet technicians who are with him, they are always knowledgeable and friendly. They definitely make it a priority to keep our equine pals in tip top shape! Really can’t say enough good stuff about Ted and his team!“

“I have been seeing Sweeten Creek Animal and Bird for medical care on my senior dog for the past 3 years. I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, which helped keep Bone calm.<br><br>Dr. Bolt is exceptional. He took the time to thoroughly examine Bone and explain everything in detail. I appreciated the way they handled Bone with such care and patience, making sure he felt safe throughout the visit. They also provided clear and helpful advice on Bone’s diet and overall health.<br><br>I have seen several other practitioners at the office and all have been caring, communicative, flexible, knowledgeable, and honest. Special thanks to Dr. Foster for her help in Bones end of life care.<br><br>A special shout-out goes to Michelle, who always goes the extra mile for us. She remembered Bone from our previous visits and always greeted him with such warmth that he instantly felt at ease. Michelle’s attention to detail and genuine concern for Bone’s well-being are truly commendable. Whether it’s helping with scheduling, providing updates, or offering comforting words during stressful times, Michelle consistently makes our visits smooth, personable, and pleasant. Words cannot put into place how grateful I am for her assistance through the years.<br><br>It's clear that Sweeten Creek Animal and Bird prioritizes both the comfort of their patients and the quality of their care.<br><br>Overall, I highly recommend Sweeten Creek Animal and Bird to any pet owner.

“Always a great experience Took both my pups in there and my older one was excited to be there My other is a puppy and had a great first time visit“

“My YorkiePoo has been enjoying personalized attention for over twelve years. The premises are spotlessly maintained by Mary and Forrest, who are the owners.“

“I have been going to Animal Care Clinic for over 17 years. Dr. Carman is the very best. I would not trust my dog with anyone else.“

“Great vet. Love taking our dogs here. I feel like they present all options and warn you if something would be expensive.“

“Always great service. Everyone is pleasant and they will spend time discussing your situation.“

“I love these people! My pets have been going to Dr. Davis for decades! The staff is very kind, knows each pet by name, and is never too busy to great each one with a smile and a bit of petting. No wonder all of my dogs actually enjoy their visits to North State! Dr. Davis is always current on new medical practices as they become accepted, and she treats each animal with the same care, concern, and skill as if it were her own. She does not leap to expensive treatments unless they are really necessary, and I have the utmost confidence in both her knowledge and her skills. I refer my friends to her and they are equally impressed. I trust the life of every pet I own to Dr. Davis and her wonderful staff.“

“Dr. Tim and his staff were awesome! They were able to see my Bella the same day I called. Everyone was friendly and informative. They kept apologizing for the wait...I was just grateful they could see my dog that day!!“

“I moved away 5.5 years ago. I walked back into Pinnacle today and it was as if I had never left. Dr. McMullan and team were kind, patient and made sure I understood everything going on with my aging babies.“

“Initially, my pet rat was referred to Dr Bolt by my regular vet due to a worsening condition. Dr Bolt's knowledge in treating exotics is second to none. His practice has the specialized equipment necessary for diagnostics and medical treatment of very small pets. Dr Bolt's exams are thorough and his knowledge immense. After a detailed explanation of the issues he found with my rattie, he presented me with several treatment options depending on what I felt comfortable with. Dr Bolt is now my go-to veterinarian for all three of my rattie boys. I cannot recommend him enough. And huge hugs to Michelle and LeighAnn at Sweeten Creek Animal and Bird Hospital for being the sweetest, most caring ladies!! A friendly voice on the line and bright, welcoming smiles in person mean a lot to me, especially when my rattie boy is having a difficult time.“

“Wonderful doctors and staff! I trust them all with my five dogs! The staff promptly greets me and cares so well for each of my dogs. I know they are in great hands when I bring them to Haywood Animal Hospital!“

“Dr. Foote and Dr. Taylor are exceptional doctors! I have been bringing my pets here for the last 4 years. Last year, our senior cat was diagnosed with cancer and we were devastated. Dr. Foote was amazing at helping us treat her and make sure she had the highest quality of life until the end. She checked in to see how our cat was doing even while she was out of the office. When we brought home a new dog, the whole staff did everything to make an unexpected ER trip a good experience for her. They truly make you feel like your critters are part of their family. We purchase flea/tick, heart-worm, and have previously gotten steroids from Fletcher Animal Hospital and I have never felt like I was being overcharged for a product or a service. The front desk staff is incredibly friendly and remembers our pets by name. We will never be taking our animals anywhere else!“

“We've been using this Clinic for over 35 years. Always received excellent care for all our animals. Dogs, cats, and horses. Dr. Carrie Carman is a very caring and knowledgeable vet. We trust her implicitly.“
