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.
