My sweet girl Kenzie means the world to our family, so when she came in from the yard limping I knew we would need to take her to the vet. I couldn't get an appointment at our regular vets office, so we decided to take her to First State Urgent Vet which recently opened in the Concord Pike shopping center. Through their website, we were able to get on the wait list prior to leaving the house. When we arrived, they got us in an exam room quickly and before we knew it a technician and then a doctor came in to examine Kenzie. The doctor recommend x-rays, which we approved. The results came back showing that she had torn her cruciate ligament and would need something called a TPLO surgery that typically only is done by a board-certified surgeon. To our surprise, this urgent care clinic was able to offer the TPLO surgery the following week because they've partnered with a veterinary surgeon that can do the procedure. They quoted us a flat fee of $4,950 for the surgery which sounded expensive until we called around to other specialty hospitals. The 2 places we called each quoted us over $6,000 for the surgery; so we scheduled it with First State. When we came back for the surgery everything was organized and ready and they were able to discharge Kenzie later that day. Though her recovery will take many weeks, we are confident that she will be back to chasing her tennis ball in no time. We are very pleased with the overall experience and Dr. Lawrie was fantastic. We highly recommend this urgent care vet clinic if you find yourself in need of their services! read more
