About Us

Founded in Spring of 2018 by Dr. Damon Padgett, Clements Ferry Veterinary is conveniently located just off of I-526, a short drive from Cainhoy, Daniel Island, Hanahan, and Mount Pleasant. Our compassionate team is invested in forming a long-lasting relationship based on trust and transparency. Courtesy, respect, and patience are values we instill in our well-trained and accommodating staff. Pets are family, and we see no other way to treat them than as our own.

Our Values

Connection

At Clements Ferry Veterinary, we value a strong connection to both you and your pet. Going to the vet should not be a burden or an inconvenience. We want you to feel like a part of the family as soon as you walk in the door. A large part of providing top-notch medical care is the client-pet-doctor relationship.

The home environment is a key factor in your pets health. It is important to us to learn about your family and how your pet fits in. Parents all have their unique way in raising their children and it is no different with our four-legged children. That all plays a part in providing the best individualized care. Communication is the single most important aspect of a long lasting relationship and we are dedicated to provide you with it.

Transparency

]After almost a decade in private practice, Dr. Padgett believes the most important aspect of veterinary medicine that leads to a great experience for you and your pet is transparency. How many times have you been to the vet and left with more questions than you came with? Why did they do that test or what do these results mean? Why does this cost so much? At Clements Ferry Veterinary, we understand that in order for your pet to get the best quality care you not only need to be involved in the process but you need to be well informed too. If you leave the visit confused or misinformed about the care, treatment or recommendations, then we have failed you.

We promise to do everything in our power to prevent this from happening. All diagnostics and treatments will be reviewed on site with you in the exam room (and in most cases the same day). This allows you to ask questions in order to make instant informed decisions without waiting. We are transparent about the costs involved in caring for your pet. We are dedicated to providing you with the best care possible but also realize that this may not fit into your plans or budget.

That is why we are happy to provide you with options that will fit your personal budget. We also have the ability to refer you to almost any kind of specialist if needed.
