How to Save Money at Hospital for Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery - Mount Pleasant

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Queck and her team! They were all very knowledgeable and kind to work with throughout the process of addressing issues with my dog’s teeth. I appreciate their professionalism and approach and highly recommend their practice. Thanks!

After an emergency with my young kitten, a trip to the ER vet, then a trip to the Specialty ER vet, it will decided he should be seen by a Dental Specialist. I frantically called and was greeted with a VERY kind and helpful team that got me scheduled for the following morning with Dr. Reynolds (who was already full for the day). Willie was see right away and treated with utmost care. After a traumatic couple of days, I was filled with relief and gratitude for the entire team at The Hospital for Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery. THANK YOU!

I want to make a public statement to worn others to think twice before doing any major canine dental work here. However, I cannot go into depth and details I would like to, at this time, for the obvious reason…. Veterinary dentist Queck was hired to put crowns on two minor tooth fractures. Against the advice of two vets who referred me to another in town dentist I decided to go with the older dentist in town: Queck. She called mid surgery and said she found two more teeth which shockingly had hairline fractures but if I allowed her to prep them for crowns then she would give me a big discount. I agreed but I was so skeptical. After the crowns were on I was supposed to pick him up however for hours I was told he couldn’t be picked up due to a bad reaction to anesthesia. All my calls on my two numbers are recorded. As a business owner this is necessary. To put it lightly he was sick. As he woke up it became clear there was something HORRIBLY WRONG. HE COULD NOT SHUT HIS MOUTH. Queck had given me her cell because of the anesthesia overdosing and so I texted her a video where he kept chattering and couldn’t close his jaw. She said I needed to make an emergency trip to Charlotte the next day from Charleston!!! I own a business and she has caused the dog to be in complete distress- yet she makes me find a driver, lose thousands not being at work, and get there in time before she catches a flight for her vacation. She said the crowns were not salvageable and blamed it on the lab. Said she would be on the phone with them and she personally would guarantee his teeth for life (luckily all phone calls, texts emails and statement made anywhere in my office or on my phones are recorded and I saved all of hers. He was under anesthesia for hours instead of minutes so she could make it possible for him to close his mouth. The ride back was miserable. It took many weeks to build up the courage to let him be sedated again for the new crowns to be set. I was told 30 minutes. It took hours. She had someone bring me back. He had diarrhea. I couldn’t care less about what she was talking about. She was making another excuse for herself and talking about the lab I’m sure. When he woke up he had more diarrhea and the nurse commented that he had it the whole oroceedure. While on this, I’m not a vet, but I don’t think he was asleep. His anxiety peaked for days. Two days later he stopped eating and I thought he was sick. He wouldn’t even eat. Checked his temperature. Thought of all scenarios. But didn’t think his new replaced tooth would have fallen out two days later. Only a few days after the procedure I find out his new molar fell out. Queck said she would fix it and needed a new imprint. When I told her she had one she said she would call in two weeks when the tooth was ready. I said please because he was having trouble eating and drinking. Months passed. She made no contact. I reached out to her and she said she needed to see the tooth in person. She didn’t realize I downloaded all the old calls and our messages. We went in. She had the tooth made. This is the final note: she promised warranty work. Like the replacement crowns. Her horrible practice and saving money using a “human” lab to make crowns cost my dog going under anesthesia about half a dozen extra times in a year. Then the last visit replacing the tooth that fell out within 2 days, she sedates him. Then comes back in with an estimate of the days costs. I look as her and she immediately shuts up and doesnt say anything other than this is all to make him comfortable implying that I have to pay for him to be comfortable. The unprofessionalism of this practice is unmatched. I should have asked him to reverse the sedative and taken him to another dentist and sent her the bill like I should have all along. This will now be a long drawn out litigation over several years. I hope someone heeds this warning. And listens to the vet’s when they send you to Shannon!

Just want to reach out and say thank you Dr Queck for seeing our Shirley Girl today. Her vet Dr Coker of Kingtree SC referred you and so glad he did! You and your team are amazing there hands down! Finally after so many surgery’s on her nose from a veterinarian hospital I won’t include, we have found the right team to help her little nose and teeth. Was an awesome experience there today as Dr Queck took charge of our Shirley Girl. Many thanks again and so appreciate all your help!
