Client Testimonials

We have proudly served clients and their pets in Savannah and
Hilton Head Island for 10 years. See what our clients have to say.

Dr. Woods, Dr. Richmond, Rachel, Nikki and the entire staff were absolutely amazing. Never hesitated to take my 100th call. Never flinched to try a potentially life saving treatment. They went way above and beyond. They were truly an incredible blessing and we're so grateful that Beau was in their loving and supportive hands. They never lost hope, they were willing to help when others couldn't or wouldn't. We are forever grateful. They even went as far to ask about our children, how they were holding up, etc. Everyone was so kind, even at 1 AM, I never once had an unpleasant exchange. We are fur-ever grateful for the excellent and cutting edge treatment Beau received!

Dr. Woods and his team were very professional and compassionate. I was very worried for my dog's well-being and they took on his challenging case with enthusiasm and hope that things could be better. I felt like they were on our team right away. Dr. Woods was easily accessible to me and spent a great deal of time discussing options. His staff fell in love with Bailey and his sad face right away and loved him when I couldn't be there. I look forward to continuing Bailey's care with this team and highly recommend them.

Dr. Woods and his team are extraordinary at what they do and are all around kind, compassionate and hard working human beings. From the minute you start services with them it is as if they’ve committed to be with you along the journey to better health and well-being for your furry family member, not just for that single appointment, but “in it” with you.

I am a Veterinary Technician for almost 20 years and I do not trust just anyone with the care of my fur babies. My Tyson has been a patient of Savannah Veterinary Internal Medicine for years now, and Dr. Woods and his entire staff have been nothing shy of amazing when it has come to his care. They are professional, compassionate and loving.

Our Beagle, Bela, has been under the care of Dr. Woods since earlier this year for complications of IMHA. Had it not been for his expert care and the care of Jordan, his Vet tech, we would have lost our precious girl. Dr. Woods has a gentle bedside manner. His knowledge of IMHA and related complications is second to none.
