CVRC is the absolute best veterinary experience we have ever had, from specialists to end-of-life services. We were forced to use a different emergency vet for one of our other animal's end-of-life and it was a horrible experience, whereas the two times we have been to CVRC, it was the way it should be. They were caring, kind, and empathetic; they never made us feel rushed...

Charleston Veterinary Referal Center is wonderful! My dog lacerated her stomach open and they immediately calmed me and her down and took immense care in suturing her wounds. They talked me through everything and took the time to come up with multiple treatment plans to find the best one for me and my Luna Lou.

Extremely impressed with CVRC, their doctors are top notch. My dog had surgery to repair her ACL a few years ago by Dr Garnett-she healed amazing and was able to walk and run again like a normal dog! This past week I ended up back at their office because my dog was very sick. Dr. Schmeck was the emergency doctor who figured out the issue quickly, laid out all of my options...
