How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Savannah Veterinary Internal Medicine & Intensive Care

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Dr. Woods and his staff are extraordinary! From the moment I walked into his office I was put at ease; I just knew that this is where we needed to be to get the help my cat Little Lou needed, I had already heard such great things about them. In speaking to Dr. Woods and his staff, I could tell that they were going to do everything that they could to help Little Lou get better. She was recently diagnosed with IMHA (a severe anemia) she went downhill very fast. We first went to a specialty hospital for treatment, we were told that her treatment did not work and she would not make it more than a few days, so I brought her home, it was devastating! Long story short, I am so grateful that we found Dr. Woods and his team and that they were able to fit her in as an emergency the same week. Dr. Woods has so much knowledge about her disease and explained the disease and different treatments to me, plus he thought that she could get better, he changed around her medications, and we gave it a shot. She is now doing much better and on the road to recovery! I just can not say enough good things about everyone in this office. I will never take my Lou anywhere else!

Dr. Woods and his wonderful staff have been taking care of our pit mix Bella who has Cushing's Disease and thyroid issues. Dr. Woods really knows his stuff, and he goes way above and beyond to take care of his patients. On more than one occasion, he has called me after hours to make sure I had the information I needed about Bella, and never makes me feel rushed on the phone. He is now seeing our cat socks for respiratory issues. We highly recommend his practice! We are extremely thankful for their care and love for our animals. We truly cannot thank them enough.

Dr. Woods and team were very friendly and thorough. They took the time to explain things and made sure we understood what our options were. We (and our cat Peanut) were very satisfied with the help we received and thankful they helped us figure out how to better help our cat and treat his kidney disease. Highly recommend.

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. My Belle, a 10 year old Great Dane whom has pretty much been with me through all of life’s trials and triumphs, and pretty much by my side most days - at work, on the road for work, travel, fun times, etc.. - who is a joy and sun ray to not only my day, but our family’s and to those she meets was diagnosed with a rare lymphoma, bi-lateral lymphoma of her kidneys. I believe this was diagnosed because although I came in with concerns for her cough, Dr. Woods made the decision to do an ultrasound and detected the abnormalities with her kidneys… sigh. After her diagnosis she needed to be immediately seen into an oncologist specialist for the cancer and she was heading into renal failure. I know that she wouldn’t have been seen THE NEXT DAY without them helping to make it possible. Last week we almost lost her..but today Belle is stable and will continue treatments in Charleston as long as she has a good quality of life and SVIM and their team will continue to be there as well along the way as we enjoy whatever amount of time she is here with us.

Dr. Woods and his Staff are phenomenal! They are honest, transparent and genuinely care for your pet. We drove from Bluffton, SC to see Dr. Woods and I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking care in Internal Medicine for their fur babies!
