Dr. Amanda was great with our super anxious pup. She was very patient and understanding. The prices were also much more affordable compared to our previous vet. Highly recommended.

I switched over to Hewitt years ago. Since then, I will NEVER go anywhere else with our fur babies! When Oakley got sick, we thought that we would have to say another heartbreaking goodbye. Dr Lewis didn't give up and is still doing whatever she can for Oakley. She saved our baby when other vets would have given up. It's more than "just about the money" with Hewitt. They care about the well-being of all animals. Thank you to the entire staff and may God bless you all! Sincerely, The Lee Family P.S. A special shout out to Olivia Smith. Medicine can be expensive sometimes. She compares online and offline prices to find the cheapest pharmacy. And finds discounts and donations when places offer it. She spent alot of time helping me before our German Shepherd died. Thank you Olivia!

Edited from 1 star to 3: I have used this animal hospital since 2014. We have never had any problems before now. My female dog "Suki" is 6 years old. While at my father in laws funeral in Florida we determined she had pyrometra from her "unusual activity and sickness". We called and made an appointment rite away to be seen the following day in South Carolina. Her surgery was fine and recovery was fine. However when we took her back to have to stitches removed, she was muzzled (unbeknownst to me)in the back and I could hear her whimpering. Dr Hewitt wasn't there for stitch removal. I was told I had to wait in the lobby ...had they let me go back there they would have NEVER put a muzzle on my dog WITHOUT my permission, it has been over an hour since I brought her home and she still has muzzle marks across her nose in front of her eyes. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE !!!!! Especially when the owner is standing right there and more than willing to do what needs to be done to take care of their animal that is a companion pet!! Apparently there was pop on the floor and the vet associate walked through it with no disregard for my dog. She checked her shoes shrugged her shoulders and handed off the leash. Unbeknownst to me, my dog had pop on her feet when she got in my truck.. gross!!! You would think after spending over $800 on just one visit my dog might actually be important to them. She means the world to me!!!!! Maria called and left a voice message after viewing this review. I am glad she did because we can not fix problems we are unaware of.... I returned her call and we spoke for about 10 minutes ( she apologized several times). However, it should be in the training to know better than to muzzle any pet without permission.
