I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Rushing and her fantastic staff. As far as I'm concerned they are family. Monica always has a smile for me and my boys, when we walk through the door. Keri makes me laugh at every visit (and Keri, if you read this, Steve says "NO WE DON'T NEED A CAT"!). Alexis will be out the door and have my huge bags of dog food loaded in the car, before I can finish paying. And Dr. Rushing is not only proficient and dedicated, but she also has a heart of gold when it comes to her patients. Thank you Live Oak Animal Hospital LLC - we love ya all!

Our cat was sick recently and we thought it was on the brink of dying. They took us in on short notice and treated the cat for a very reasonable rate. Dr. Rushing is very friendly

I love them. When I walk in the door, they know my pets' names. They are all very friendly and caring. Dr. Rushing is great. She's knowledgeable and compassionate, and it shows.

OMG they saved My chi'wennies life. they were so sweet and gentle with Him after he was atticked by someones black lab. they are very nice and caring , will always go back to them .

My entire family takes our pets to Live Oak Animal Hospital. The staff is very friendly with both their patients and the family. However, when I brought my cat to get declawed, I was very disappointed. His feet looked like they went through a turbine and it was aweful. I have had numerous cats have this procedure without having such a bad outcome. For this reason, I will never take an animal to this clinic. Also, my grandmother brings her small dog to stay at the clinic when she is out of town or has a family emergency. In late 2007, the dog was injured by a larger stray dog in the neighborhood and due to Dr. Rushing not putting in drainage tubes where the deep wounds were, the dog had to undergo further surgeries and suffering when bad infections set in. When we consulted another vet, she was disgusted with the initial treatment of the dog. On a separate incident, when the dog was left there overnight, she was sent home with feces all over here that had dried and turned her fur yellow. When we complained, they "bathed" the dog. However, she still was sent home dirty and the only apology we received was none - we did not receive an apology. Only an "oh well". Many people can be nice to animals...but if you lack the medical skills to treat/perform surgery on an animal, you should not be granted a DVM. I highly recommend using another vet in the area for the care of your animal. You would not go to a doctor or dentist who was nice but incompetent....why put your pet through that?!
