I can't really say enough about Dr Tom Sheridan and his staff. My dog was "diagnosed" at another hospital to the tune of $2500 and they never figured out what the issue was. One visit to FAH and Tom discovered the malady. Unfortunately my old boy needed to be put down. He and his staff were always caring, compassionate and professional. They were kind enough to mail out a card and I'm forever grateful. A+ staff and service.

We found an injured bird and drove to several vets on James Island and none of them would help. I want to give a shout out to Folly Rd Animal Hospital!!! They took the little guy in to save his life. So, if theyll do that for something they arent getting paid for I am impressed. No other vet on James Island that we went to before them even cared they all sent me away!

WORST VET on james island! i made an appointment for my dog who had an ear infection. upon arriving home i noticed the ear infection had not been treated so i called the office to see if we could swing back by since they forgot no big deal mistakes happen but on the phone i was told by the doctor that i had refused treatment for my dogs ear infection and that i could not have the ear treatment even tho i had already paid for it. in addition the doctor was pretty rude in general and there was a lot of rough treatment toward my dog if i could give no stars i would

I'm from out of town. At the last minute, my dog needed a vet visit. They arranged an appointment right away. Staff friendly. My dog loved them. Will definitely use them again if needed when in Folly.
