Comment/Review

S.H. I was on Vacation in the Asheville area when I discovered red spots that looked maybe like ring worm on my 10lb Havanese girl dog's belly and leg. I called around and Animal Hospital East were very friendly and able to get her in the same day. The Doc examined her and explained that she probably just got bit by something because there were no.. a lot of medical words.. just give her some Benadryl and keep an eye on it. I paid for the doctor visit with no additional expensive veterinary medications. The Benadryl worked well. AND.. I was shocked and so pleased when they called the next day to check up on her progress.. Great Experience.

T.N. While visiting from out of town our dog took a stick across his eye on a hike. We called ahead and were able to get right in. They did an eye exam and flushed it out and educated me on next steps. A great customer experience. Whole heartedly recommend!

C.D. Always very kind staff and fast scheduling and almost never have to wait past my appointment time, even then it’s only by ten minutes at the most. I take all four of my cats there and have since I got them. They are also very good and caring with the animals under their care. Can’t recommend them enough!

K.M. The team at AHE know are fantastic. They blend kindness with wisdom and expert skill. They are compassionate, clear communicators, efficient, and focus on the animal's wellbeing while treating clients with respect. They welcomed me in when I called with an urgent situation, and they worked quickly to treat my very sick cat. Dr Kuhn, Amy, Vickie, and entire team: thank you for everything you do to help pets and their people!

K.W. What a positive experience I had at this hospital! I was from out of town and was visiting family during the holidays when my dog got VERY sick. The hospital allowed me to come in first thing in the morning, with no wait. Dr. Willson was phenomenal. Kind, thorough and took a lot of time with us. She followed up later in the day with us, at no additional cost, and then again the next day. The amount of concern was comforting and genuine. Every employee that worked was just as thoughtful.

K.L. My husband and I moved to Asheville in June with Wally, our beautiful, 14-year-old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. A few weeks earlier, Wally was diagnosed with lung cancer. We looked at several veterinary practices in Asheville and decided to make an appointment with Dr. Tom Kuhn at Animal Hospital South. It was a good choice. We will always be grateful to Dr. Kuhn for supporting us in our decision to not subject Wally to major surgery that would be unlikely to extend his life (at age14, he already had reached his life expectancy). Wally went home on powerful anti-inflammatory and pain medications to control his persistent cough and any pain he might have. He had another 6 months of full life. He went with us on hikes, swam, fetched, ran and enjoyed good sleep and healthy appetite. And we gave him treats at our every meal - something he was not allowed before. In the meantime, all we needed was just call the practice to extend Wally's prescriptions, adjust doses and pick up medications at either location. We saw Dr. Kuhn or Dr. Welsh for Wally's ongoing health needs, always receiving excellent advice, care and kind words of support. When the inevitable came, Dr. Tom Kuhn gave Wally his immediate attention. We said goodbye to our Friend at Animal Hospital East. We could not have asked for more support, kindness and compassion that everyone at the Clinic extended to us. The practice also took care of all the arrangements for cremation and delivery of ashes. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Doctors, veterinary Nurses and the most kind administrative Staff at both East and South practice locations. We highly recommend this practice, especially if you need expert and compassionate help with your pet's terminal condition.
