Appalachian Animal Hospital: Cipullo Francis DVM

I 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE!!! If you want your babies in caring and knowledgeable hands this is NOT the place for you! Find out why below...nnBeing new to the area I needed to find a new vet... well before I could get my dogs set up at this office one of my pups got sick... possibly poisoned... I was told they don't have any openings but to go to the Jasper location 40 minutes away! Eventually the understanding receptionist to ask the doc to see if they could fit me in. Of course the doc said yes, but, that'll be the cost of the visit plus all the vet can do is call poison control!?!?! I was shocked!... a vet that has to call poison control in order to know how to take care of my baby... nope, not happening. I can do that just the same and I didn't even go to school to know that.nnI'm furious and could go on for ever about how much I dislike a place I've never been, this office. Needless to say, we took our baby elsewhere and he is now being treated and on the mend... no thanks to this office.

Staff was caring, one vet I experienced was good with my furbaby. I had transferred records for all 3 of my furbabies and unfortunately I experienced multiple incidents of total miscommunication. Techs always giving shots, boosters, etc. The vets I have switched to at Oconee Animal Hospital always treat my furbabies then discuss entire visit and suggestions. To much of negative feelings at VCA, but everyone is different. Thank you anyway for your efforts and continued good luck with all of the pets entrusted to you. We just won't be there.

This place might be really good when we're not in the middle of covid-19 s. But since that started, I can't go in. I can't talk to the vet. I didn't get any follow-up call about the wild animal that I rescued and brought to them. I didn't even get to tell them anything about what happened to the animal. They just had me fill out a rabies sheet. You can't even go in when it's your pet. The person next to me had to wait while the staff carried her dog inside and vaccinated it. Sorry, but this is not good practice for a medical place.

Always very professional and personable. We have nothing but strays that have wondered up and VCA never lets us down when it comes to treatment of these new family members.

Why do I take our animals to Appalachian Animal Hospital, why,why it's the people who are in the hospital and they are my reasons why I take them to get the best treatment and the Doctors visits my animals regularly recieve to get them well and keep them safe and healthy. Thanks for the add....
