    If I only need shots or check ups, I use John Shaw at Palmetto Vet Clinic. For anything major, especially hip x-rays, I use Check Hewitt in Florence.

    Been using Dr. Bell for the last year. Been real happy so far. Used Hawkens before that and didn't have any complaints. One of the vets at Hawkens stayed for almost 2 hours after closing on a Saturday afternoon when my wife's dashound poisened itself.

    Dr Bell. Been using him for 20+ years. He is expensive but you get what you pay for IMHO.

    Mother Tucker once went to him and told his receptionist (his wife) that he needed to get an OFA x-ray. She asked, "what's an OFA?". Needless to say, MT didn't stay.
