I honestly can’t believe I haven’t written this review sooner, because Dr. Nick and his entire team have been such an important part of caring for my kitties for years. I first met Dr. Nick when I helped my Grandmother-in-Law bring her cat in when no one else was able to take… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

I took my Goldendoodle, Bear for his first visit. The staff was very sweet, the facility was clean and Dr. Nick seemed very nice. They all have a love for animals, which shows! It was a quick visit, but first impression was good, and I definitely feel comfortable taking Bear… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Came here because my dog was having a reaction to fleas from the local boarding place. The doc & nurse was nice & explained everything thoroughly. Got us taken care of quickly but didn’t carry the flea meds there. So they wrote me a prescription, I order the meds online & the… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

There is only one vet. Dr Mike. If you ask any questions you get push back and called argumentative. He thinks he’s a god! He will not answer questions and gets upset if you ask. Then they told me to go somewhere else after my dog was neutered. Really good on care… not. Don’t go… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
My kennel misplaced a shot record. I called Southern Wind. In less than a minute I had the shot record emailed to me. Way to go! Thanks View on Google (opens in new tab)
My first time at this clinic, I have nothing but great things to say about them. My cat had a UTI, they got her in right away (even though I wasn’t an existing client). They immediately brought her back to feel if there was any urinary blockage. Thankfully, there wasn’t and I… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
Owners beware! Dr. Nick more often than not will tell you to go spend thousands on a specialist and then bash you and fire you as his client when you can't afford to go see a specialist. I felt judged the entire time I was there. Staff is rude as well and uncaring. Very… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
I had an emergency with one of my fur babies this morning, where she had difficulty breathing. I called them and even though they're not a Vet ER, they got me in within 20 mins of calling. The doctor, which, among the chaos and the worry for my baby, I regrettably didn't get the… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Moved to the area from out of state and was very nervous about picking a vet for my dog and cat. In my home state my small vet office was good, but definitely more on the expensive side even for an annual exam. Super pleased with chosing Southern Wind. My dog HATED going to the… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
Dr Nick is one to be noticed! My father was getting up there in age and had some underlying health issues. He called me one day and said I can't do the litter box and can't give him all the love and attention he deserves so can you take him and I said absolutely Dad… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
