We couldn’t be more pleased with the personal and professional relationship we’ve had with Buckwalter Veterinary. They are like family and cared for... our dogs the same way. They were there for us when it was time to let our loved ones go - and they helped us through those really hard times. Highly Recommend!!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. He was so helpful in late December when I brought my guinea pigs in with a UTI. He listened diligently to my concerns for my boys and helpful in more ways than I can describe. It is very nice to know that I have found a reliable vet office with a genuine staff!read more

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. Thanks Buckwalter for doing what you do, the Clark family is appreciative!read more

The DR’s and staff at Buckwalter Vet Clinic are very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. We moved to SC about 1 1/2 years ago. Our dog Abby has chronic... allergies and ear infections. 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 was visiting the area (former local) and had an emergency happen to one of my dogs. Dr. Iyer and his staff took wonderful care of my dog especially... given the severity of the situation. He and his staff treat each animal as if it was there own. I was truly amazed when Dr. Iyer checked in the day following the surgery to check in on Scout. This level of care and dedication is unsurpassed and this has been one of the best vet visits I have ever dealt with. Thank you all so much for the hard work and care!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. Highly Recommended.read more

Think of everything that a dog could get, my dog has had it. We have been going to Buckwalter Veterinary Clinic for years but in the last six months... they’ve become a second family. Never have I ever seen a Doctor and Staff be so invested in helping a patient (canine or human). Dr. Iyer is absolutely incredible and my family and I owe him so much for all that he has done. Thank you thank you for all that you do!read more
