Hammond Hills Animal Hospital saved our dog's life and her leg…read more Four weeks ago today, our Labrador, Luna, suffered a devastating injury while fetching a ball. She deeply cut her front leg on a glass landscape light and the injury was severe with profuse bleeding. Because she was bleeding so heavily, we did not have time to make the 45-minute drive to our regular veterinarian or call ahead to find one nearby. Instead, we rushed her to Hammond Hills Animal Hospital, just a couple of minutes from our home. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. While my wife held pressure, I ran inside to ask for help. They immediately sent Morgan to meet us in the parking lot. She applied pressure bandages to help control the bleeding and helped us get Luna safely inside. The staff dropped what they were doing and rushed her into surgery. After a long and complex operation performed by Dr. Rutt and the surgical team, we learned that Luna had severed two arteries, numerous veins, muscles, and a tendon on the back of her front leg beneath her carpal pad. It was a serious injury, and we knew her recovery would be a long one. Over the past four weeks, the team at Hammond Hills has been with us every step of the way. Every injury--and every dog--is different, but they continually adjusted Luna's treatment plan as she healed. They patiently taught us how to change her bandages at home, offered new ideas when challenges arose, guided us through home sedation, infections, complications, and were always available to answer questions and make changes when needed. Their expertise, compassion, and encouragement gave Luna the best possible chance to recover. Today, four weeks later, Luna is making wonderful progress, and we couldn't be more grateful. We feel like we didn't just find an outstanding veterinary hospital--we found a team of people who genuinely care about their patients and the families who love them. We now have complete confidence in Hammond Hills and they now care for all of our pets. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Rutt, Morgan, Jennifer, Brooke, Christine, Kent, and especially Karen. Your expertise, kindness, flexibility, patience, and dedication have meant more to us than words can express. Thank you for helping save Luna and for being there for us throughout her recovery. We deeply appreciate everything you have done.

I feel like it's due in large part to the staff's ability to think outside the box.

Before we found a permanent living situation we were in Airbnbs and our older cat was having some serious health issues and we really thought she wasn't going to make it through the holidays last year. We went to another vet in town that at that time was closer for us and I was just constantly disappointed in the care she got and how they treated me (who was also dealing with a 7 month old baby at the time). Fast forward to our new house closer to north Augusta and a nearby stray cat colony with kittens that started appearing out of nowhere. The old vet got increasingly worse so I desperately searched for a new vet closer to us and found BFAC. They seem fairly new and I went in expecting disappointment again but Dr Santos was a godsend. We'd been battling parasites in the foster kittens that somehow transmitted to my other cats and I was in a stressful season trying to keep my toddler and cats all healthy. Dr Santos listened to my concerns, was so kind and respectful, and ultimately helped resolve our issues within a week (where the other vet had been dragging things out for weekS). I also had Dr Santos reassess our oldest cat and she explained why she wanted to do certain blood panels and try a specific treatment plan. No others vets had done that for me despite me asking for explanations. Our cats health issues aren't totally gone but they have dramatically improved and I'm very thankful for that. The receptionist ladies (Lauren and Michelle, I think are their names) are both awesome. They are so kind and love to see each and every animal (and even my toddler) who walks in that door. They have called to follow up on things and are quick at getting back to me when I have questions. The techs have all been great as well. Most recently we've seen the new doctor, Dr Mele, and she is great too! The clinic is super convenient for me and has a nice waiting room. Their prices are pretty average compared to other vets in the area (I have called a lot asking for prices so I've done my research). I like that they are willing to prescribe things for ordering on Chewy as I use Chewy a lot but they sell many things in clinic and can order things for you too. Overall I am very satisfied with BFAC and will continue to recommend them to anyone needing veterinary care in the CSRA.

I wish every town I've lived in prior to this had a CSRA LifeSaver type clinic! In the last three…read moreyears I've spent probably thousands of dollars and many trips to the vet for various cat ailments and check ups. Some in Pennsylvania and some here in the CSRA. At almost all of them I've been disappointed in the cost and lack of expense disclosure before a service is done, but it's also just a hassle to get scheduled for things that aren't super emergent but also can't wait for a month. CSRA Life Saver is a low cost preventative vet clinic. That means they do not treat sick animals, and they can't prescribe much other than some preventative flea/tick/heart worm medicines and dewormers. What they DO offer is walk in appointments (they do not schedule ahead except for spay/neuter surgeries), vaccines, microchips, pet health maintenance (like ear mite cleaning, deworming, nail trims, etc). Their prices are listed clearly online and in the office, and they require that you fill out a form ahead of time and clearly mark which services you want that day. When you arrive, you fill that out first (or you can print it at home and bring it in) then go in to the desk and sign in. By the number of chairs I saw, the wait can get long at times but both times I've been so far there was very little wait. Because they do minimal services, appointments don't last very long and they can see a lot of people. Their prices are the lowest I've found by a LOT and they seem interested in just doing what they can to help animals and owners in a timely manner. The office itself is pretty simple- it's an old house type building converted to an office. There is some indoor waiting room area but many chairs on the porch for overflow. I did not accompany my cat into the exam room and didn't see other owners do that either, so just be ready for that. They take cards and cash. The only issue I've had is the microchip I got on my kitten seems to have moved from the shoulder blade location I assumed they inserted it at, but I think that's more likely my kitten being a little underweight for his age (a recent stray we took in). I wish they had mentioned prior to the microchipping that you can't bathe the animal for a few days, and now with the movement of the chip I wish I'd waited to get that done til they neuter him or something but it's too late now. Overall, the prices cannot be beat and they offer helpful guidance on saving money and getting what's best for your pet.

I…read morehave not yet used them for their veterinary services, but I plan to in the future.* I have moved 5 times in the past three years and have gone to 4 different vets and 2 additional boarding facilities. VHA is by far superior for boarding my two rescue pups. The facilities are huge, clean, and just look very sophisticated. I rest assured that when I'm traveling, my dogs are receiving the best possible care, evidenced not only by the happy tail wags when we pull up to the vet, but by the way the staff members treat and play with my dogs as they're taking them back to the kennels. Also, this is one of the most affordable places I've seen in the entire CSRA area, at only $17/night for my 45 lb dog and $19/night for my 60 lb dog. Science Diet food is provided free of charge, or you can bring your own. They've also been able to work me in on very short notice a few times now. And if anything were to happen to one of my pets, I know that she would be in the best possible hands for a medical emergency. You're truly getting the best quality for the best price at VHA. If you're in North Augusta, Augusta, or even Aiken, I highly recommend boarding here. They make sure your dogs are exercised and loved on, without all of those ridiculous fees that so many boarding facilities in the area like to sneak in just to meet your pet's basic needs. The only critique I can come up with is that they do not allow Sunday pick-up at all, but I didn't feel that was enough to dock them even one star.

We also took my daughter's dog here when he had Parvo and they gave him excellent care in 2020 and he came home. When the Aiken vet that my husband's family has used for 20+ years, proved it was not a worthy vet, I decided that All God's Creatures would be the place that we would go, no matter how far I had to drive. He had dental surgery scheduled yesterday morning and I called them on Friday to ask if they would be reaching out to let us know of any changes in operating hours on Monday because of the weather. I was assured that they would let me know. Drove 45 minutes and I arrived for surgery at 7:40 AM and nobody was there. I called the only phone number that they have with no answer, knocked on the door and I sat there until 815. There was no way I was going to drive home immediately so I went looking on Facebook to see if there was somebody, anybody that I could reach out to to find out what was going on. I don't follow them on Facebook. And right there was a post saying that they were not going to open until 10:00 AM due to the weather and they would reach out to reschedule via their Facebook page and email. I checked my email and there was nothing. Nohing in junk mail, no phone calls, voicemails, texts. Nothing. Drove another 45 minutes to take my dog home and get myself to work. I'm at work for 30 minutes and I get a phone call asking me to bring him in "now" at which time I explained to her what happened and it was completely blown over. I left work and I went home and got my dog, drove to Augusta again and I took him in. While there I explained to someone else what happened and it again was completely disregarded. "They were supposed to email the cancellations". BUT YOU DIDN'T! And WHY would an email be a sufficient means in which to cancel a surgery??? Not only do I not get notifications for my emails, I don't look at them daily. So even if I had gotten one I wouldn't have known. She tells me they're gonna start the surgery in about 30 minutes and I should get a phone call around 2 PM. Updating me about how it went. I didn't receive any phone call anywhere around 2 o'clock so sometime around 3:30 I started calling to see what was going on. ALL DAY FROM THE MOMENT I TRIED TO DROP HIM OFF I MADE 22 calls and not one was answered. No compensation, no sincere apology, NOTHING. Well, I have a big mouth and I will run it about this interaction until the end of my days when anything involving veterinary care comes up with anyone I'm talking to. For seven years, I've told people about the amazing visits that we've had there and that's over. The staff that you had is clearly not the staff that you have now. My husband also said when he picked him up that the girl at the front was not friendly at all. Also, at our pre-surgical appointment the tech that came into the room was grossly picking food out of her back molars with her fingers after she walked into the room. Gross. And maybe don't do that. On a positive note, it was cheaper than the quote we got at the overrated Aiken Vet and my dog is alive and doing well today.

Now 10, and lots of money to treat with no guarantee of surviving, we had a decision to make. I wish I had gotten everyone's name, but from the techs to the vet, everyone was so patient and kind. They assisted me through the process, they offered me perspective and support. While they cannot make a decision for me, they definitely made me feel supported either way. Ultimately, we made the decision to allow our pet to pass with dignity and without risking him going through the treatment again. They were so patient as we spent time with him before and after. They are an emergency vet, but you would have thought we were the only family there. While i left devastated because my boy was gone, their support was more than I ever would have expected.

My heart is broken to pieces, but I would have been broken sooner had it not been for the love and care of SFAH. Thank you, always. It would take way too long to write how much I love this place. I know everyone here, they all know my pets and me by name, and I feel like I'm a part of their family. I have made friends here, found my pet sitter here, they have gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is cared for when she comes in, and they have even helped me make flexible payments when I was struggling to pay from another country. Dr. Landes is another important part of the team, and she and her staff do chiropractic adjustments and red light laser therapy on my dog for her arthritis. I so appreciate her intelligence and resourceful ways in tackling all available healing methods. Dr. Garner is especially brilliant, invaluable, and a core part of the foundation of this business. Anytime I bring my dog in, he comes out and sits down with me and explains everything to me for quite some time so that I can make an informed decision based on my financial ability and the fact that I love my dog and want to keep her as happy as possible for as long as possible. I am so grateful for him and for the whole team. This is my forever primary vet for as long as I live in the CSRA.
