Dr Hodges & Dr Malphus are phenomenal. Very professional and very knowledgeable. They take care of all 4 of my dogs like they are their own. Super kind and caring. My boykin got sick and had to stay with them for 12 days. They kept me up to date every single day and helped me understand what was going on every day. Kudos to both of them. I couldn’t recommend better people to care for your pet. The entire staff is excellent. Thank you Clanton Malphus Hodges for taking care of my best friends.

Came here to neuter my bulldog and do a sperm collection and everything was quick and to the point from start to finish. They knew I lived a hour away and made sure I knew everything that was going to happen before I left. The staff was very helpful and called me to assure me of my pups results and I got from the doctor himself saying his surgery went well too. He even gave my dog an extra medication for his skin allergies which was not part of the appointment. I greatly appreciated it because my pup had to stay overnight and I was already nervous…I don’t like leaving him with anyone feel won’t take proper care of him. 10/10 experience thank you CMH.

Wonderful and caring professionals. From the time you walk in the office until you leave it is clear they are there to ensure your pet is healthy. We see Dr. Malphus and we have never felt rushed or foolish for our questions. We also used emergency services and they were quick to respond and waiting for us when we got there. Excellent veterinary service.

Lost my 8 Year old cat at this facility. I didn't think it was anything deadly serious. He just hadn't ate for a day and seemed lethargic. After running labs and asking questions, Becky said she was going to feed him because that's what he needed to help stop what she assumed was fatty liver disease, but as far as I know, he didn't get fed until 24 hours later. The articles I've read said that cats need to be fed aggressively to turn this disease around and that lack of calories is what causes it. She basically even said that to me when I brought him in, but didn't follow through with it for 24 hours. She also said she would take X-rays. Didn't happen until 24 hours later and she didn't even scan his liver directly. The day after admission, she said she thought he was going to die overnight. I truly believe she made up her mind about my cat and when he didn't die overnight, she decided to finally do her job, but it was too late. I was never given any real answers about what caused his death either. I don't feel like his death meant anything to her. She just shoved it aside and said oh it's a cat and they hide their symptoms very well. I'm going to find a more cat friendly place for my other cat, even if it means I have to go to Tallahassee or Valdosta. I'm so devastated about losing my cat as quickly as I did. Something about it just doesn't sit right with me and I don't want to risk losing another cat at this facility due to negligence.
