HealthPointe Veterinary Clinic

When most people think about a veterinarian, they're talking about one that does dogs and cats. What do you do, then if you have a ferret, a parakeet, or a lizard? That's what sets HealthPointe appart from the rest. I go there because they do birds and our family has two pet birds. One of them is a little sicker than usual, so he's in to get a beak trim every few months and we want to take the best care of him until he dies. The staff is very friendly and is willing to answer questions. They do complete physicals and - depending on the animal - lab work. Of course they do dogs and cats too. Their prices are pretty good too. I think a beak trim is about $15. One thing to keep in mind: they require that you get your pet a physical exam before they will do anything else, so getting started will cost a little more than future visits will cost. more

Avian Vet Specialist\r Our African Grey Parrot is in great hands. We would not settle for anything less than a specialist for care of our bird and Dr Hurlbert is that! She is knowledgeable and her confidence is sensed by the bird, making it so much easier for any treatments. more

We adopted our Lab mix, Jake, from the Humane Society in Greenville, with the full knowledge that he may develop Parvo virus, which is very often fatal in dogs. He did, in fact, develop Parvo, and we immediately took him to Dr. Hurlbert. She wasted no time in examining Jake and providing her straight forward diagnosis of Parvo virus. When we told her that we wanted to continue with treatment (that can go up into the thousands of dollars), she quickly sent Jake back to begin his treatments, including blood transfusions.\r I can not say enough great things about her. Not only was she professional, but she has an excellent bedside manner in dealing with both the pet and the owner. Her staff came to expect my three times per day phone calls to check on Jake and they were wonderful. \r Thankfully, Jake pulled through and is about to turn a year old on May 1. We continue to go to Dr. Hurlbert and know that she has the best interest of our puppy at heart. I would recommend her to anyone. more
