The team was great with my cat, Hazel, and the staff and vet answered all my questions. Emily even helped Hazel with a little grooming since she’s... been too sick to groom herself. So grateful they went the extra mile.read more

Went here to get a second opinion on my dogs tumor on his head. From now on, this is the only vet we will go to! Dr.Iyer agreed that the tumor needed... to be removed but he was able to do it without anesthesia since it was small (my dog has a history of seizures so I was worried about him going under). Our last vet wanted to put him under and charge almost double the price.They did it that same appointment (a Saturday) the next day, while they were closed, I got a message from Dr.Iyer asking how Marshall was doing, this impressed me so much! To know that he took time out of his day off to check on my baby meant the world to me! They got him in fast, his wound is healing great, and the incision was very clean! They were able to get the whole tumor off and it was sent off to be tested. Amazing doctors and staff!read more

I’m so glad I chose this place as my go to veterinarian for my new dog Bella. They are compassionate, understanding and very knowledgeable. They took... great care of Bella when she had to be hospitalized due to her getting into something she shouldn’t have. They put my mind at ease by being telling me what needed to be done and being upfront. I definitely recommend this clinic, Dr. Iyer and his staff.read more

I can't recommend Buckwalter Veterinary Clinic enough. Dr. Iyer and his staff are remarkable, patient, some of the easiest people with whom to work.... They're not only attentive to your animal, but they're prompt and respect your time when you have an appointment, which is easily my second most important criteria for a vet visit.We recently took our 10 year old Doberman/Rottweiler mix to Dr. Iyer for a CCL repair after not being particularly enthused about some of the local treatment options in Savannah. They took great care of our dog while she was in their care. Every time we came in for therapy or a follow-up, we were treated like a member of their family; from the front desk-staff, to the techs, to the doctors, everyone was kind and patient with us. My wife and I are incredibly grateful for everything BVC did for our pup, and for us.read more

A blessing that this vet was open Christmas Eve until 2:30 pm. My 15 yr old dog was behind me & I tripped backwards over him. Dragged him out from... underneath me and he was limping badly. Wanted him checked out & I got appt right away. He was checked & given pain medicine. It took a few days for him to get back to normal. He is fine now. Staff friendly & concerned. Dr was wonderfully kind & understanding. Highly recommend this vet.read more

He has even had a few accidents in the clinic and they are always very sweet and understanding. Dr. Iyer is the nicest, most authentic person and I really appreciate everything they do for the pets of Bluffton. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for our beloved pets ❤️🐾read more

I cannot boast enough about Dr. Iyer or the staff at the clinic. I could really tell how much Dr. Iyer cares for the animals and that this is more... than just a job to him.

My husband and I, along with our three furry kids were visiting Hilton Head Island and had to seek medical care for one of our girls, Lillie. If I... could give more than four stars, I would! What an awesome practice. Not only was Dr. McGinnis amazing, Marley deserves kudos for being so empathetic and caring to Lillie. And.....I received a personal text message from Dr. McGinnis on her day off checking in on Lillie. We visit HHI regularly and have found our home-away-from home veterinary practice without a doubt.

Dr Dickler has been the only doctor to get these allergies and ear infections under control.Dr Iyer has also been treating Abby for shattered ACL as well as patella issues. He has performed surgeries on both Abby’s legs. The staff is so caring and very responsive to your needs. They communicate with you every step of the way and always there for you and your pet. Love them all lots. More importantly Abby loves them too and trusts them. I do not hesitate for one minute to call them when Abby needs them.read more

We were visiting Hilton Head from out of town when our dog ate a cooked chicken leg (she grabbed it off the counter... bad girl!) About 20 hours... later she starts showing signs she needed to be checked out. We called about 9 veterinarian clinics until we found this awesome clinic. The others wouldn’t help us or wanted to send us an hour and a half away. This vet office accepted us at short notice, worked us in, and took care of our Molly! Luckily, she is fine and should recover. We are insanely thankful for veterinarians like this one who help in times of true need! Thank you so much!read more

I recently moved back to the area and needed to find a Veterinary Clinic that could assist in grooming my 18-year old cat. His fur was matted and... needed attention. Buckwalter Veterinary Clinic was able to give us an appointment the following day. Additionally, due to my cat's age they took the necessary precautions to ensure he would be fine with the process. He has been groomed and appears to be doing well. The care and concern they showed from the moment I walked through the door to completion was very welcoming and the facility was very neat and clean.
