About Goose Creek Veterinary Clinic: For 30 years, Goose Creek Veterinary Clinic has been a cornerstone of the Goose Creek area. Our state-of-the-art facility, established 14 years ago, has been recognized with an award for best hospital design. Over the years, we have built a reputation as the leading veterinary hospital in the region.
Our practice is equipped with advanced ultrasound technology, and our doctors have received extensive training in abdominal imaging. We also collaborate with a local cardiologist to provide on-site echocardiograms, saving our clients both time and money.
Goose Creek, South Carolina, is a city rich in history and natural beauty, located just 20 minutes from historic Charleston. The Charleston area boasts diverse neighborhoods—Historic Downtown, North Charleston, West Ashley, Mt. Pleasant, and Summerville—each with its own unique atmosphere, and offers abundant outdoor activities such as golfing, tennis, fishing, boating, diving, and shopping.
We are committed to work-life balance, offering a 4-day workweek with every other Saturday from 8 AM to 12 PM. Our supportive team environment fosters camaraderie and cooperation, creating a pleasant and professional yet informal place to practice medicine.
What sets us apart? At Goose Creek Veterinary Clinic, we are dedicated to the early detection of serious illnesses through preventative care methods, such as annual wellness bloodwork. This proactive approach consistently yields positive results, enabling us to manage health conditions before symptoms arise and helping pets lead longer, happier lives. Early detection also makes treatment more affordable and less inconvenient throughout a pet's lifetime.
We are passionate about client outreach and organize a variety of events throughout the year, including open houses, client webinars, workshops, and holiday events benefiting local charities. Our hospital is decorated for the holidays and designed to be a comfortable, welcoming space that doesn’t feel like a traditional hospital. We believe that a pleasant environment enhances the experience for both pets and their owners.
Additionally, we partner with Berkeley Animal Center, our local shelter, to support their efforts through events and a free initial exam program for all new adoptions. This program allows new pet owners to bring their adopted pets in for a comprehensive checkup and the first month of preventive care at no cost, helping us give back to the community and provide essential guidance to new pet owners.
Mentorship for New Graduates: At Goose Creek Veterinary Clinic, we offer a time-tested mentorship program for new graduates. Two veterinarians who joined our team seven years ago have thrived under this program, with one recently being promoted to medical director. This individual is committed to customizing the mentorship experience to meet the unique needs of each person, whether they are new graduates or experienced veterinarians.
