I was hesitant to take my rabbit here but it was recommended by other people I know. The exam took no more than 10 minutes and the issue with my rabbit wasn't even discovered. I left feeling like I had overpaid for very little treatment/consultation. Dr. Gall was not thorough in his examination and the medicine given to my rabbit was medicine made for dogs and cats. I ended up taking my pet to an animal hospital that specialized in exotic pets and had much more reassured consultation and examination. Read Less

Amazing clinic, helpful staff. Dr really takes his time to make sure you know what is wrong with your animal (if anything) and follow up care and make sure you are aware of the medicines being given, what they are for and what the side effects may be, if any. Very patient with all our questions and understands my pet isn't just a pet, it's a family member and makes sure he treats your animal as such. Great clinic! I recommend it to ALL my friends!

Dr Gall has been caring for my pets for nearly 20 years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. He cares immensely for each and every animal and for the owners as well. He's loving in a down to earth fashion that is so refreshing. My animals all vote YES! Read Less

Dr. Gall has been my vet for years, and I would never take my dogs or my birds anywhere else. His knowledge, his compassion, and his wonderful staff elevate this office well above average. From end of life care for my senior dog who died last year to the terrible morning my white-faced cockatiel broke several blood feathers, Dr. Gall's office has been there for me. I would recommend him to anyone. Read Less

Dr. Gall has been my vet for several years now. Not only is he a great doctor for the routine visits with my 3 dogs, he is also a wonderful avian vet to my 2 birds. I will never go to another vet as long as he is in practice. From year wellness visits to end of life care for my senior dog who died last year, Dr. Gall's office is a place where I feel perfectly comfortable discussing any and every problem my animals might have. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Read Less

Love them! I have two rabbits and one had been seriously injured, Dr. Gall was so gentle and helpful! Chewy's armed healed very well and he has full use of it despite all of the tendons being ripped off the bone. He charged me initially for the repair but I took him in twice after concerned about the way it was healing and he checked him for free both times and charged me half the price of an initial health screen on my second rabbit. I will be taking them both to be fixed this week. He is very honest, I trust him with my buns! Read Less

This was the worst, most unprofessional, and uncaring vet I have ever been to. I am from Oregon, but was going to school in Savannah and needed to get my kitten neutered. I dropped him off and was supposed to pick him up that afternoon. An hour after I was supposed to hear from them they called to let me know that his heart has stopped during the surgery and that, while he was now awake, he had been without oxygen for five minutes and would not survive the night. They told me to come say goodbye to him. Before I could get there they called back and said that he seemed to be getting better, not to come since they were closing, and that they would call me in the morning. I waited, but the call never came. So I called them. The lady who answered the call told me she didn't know anything about my cat and couldn't help me. I asked to speak to someone who did. The man who spoke to me next assumed (very wrongly and confusingly) that I was calling to have my cat put down and informed me that they refused to do it. I had never mentioned this and was also offended by the assumption. I told him I had been waiting for them to call me and just wanted to know how he was doing. He laughed and said they were so busy that "sometimes phone calls like that slip through the cracks" and then again told me that I was not "allowed" to put my cat to sleep. I went to visit him the next day (the only day they told me I could) and found him filthy and with all his nails clipped to the point of bleeding or having turned purple. He was completely blind and could not move because of brain damage from the surgery, but cried and purred when he smelled and heard me. They told me he was doing better, but he might never be able to walk or see again. The next time I came to see him they told me he couldn't come home until he could walk and eat on his own. Seemed fair enough until they showed me how they were testing this. They were putting him on a slick metal table and when he couldn't stand (he was newly blind and had no idea where he was or how to balance on a textured surface, let alone metal) and then telling me that he couldn't leave yet. I said he needed to come home and they finally agreed. When I went to pick him up I looked over the bill they handed me and saw that they were charging me for BOARDING him there. They were also charging me for canned cat food but refused to let me leave without it either. I said I would pay for the surgery, but absolutely not for the "boarding". After arguing for a while the lady finally looked at the bill and said "whatever, it's only $150, just give it to her". It was so condescending and rude. I took him home, but him on carpet, and he immediately stood up and walked. I put food in front of him and he ate even though they informed me I would have to mix food with water and force a syringe down his throat. Worst experience I've ever had with a vet. Read Less

Do not use this vet. A one star rating is completely too generous. I started using the services of this vet when my cat was diagnosed with mega-colon. For those who are not familiar with it, it is a feline condition which does not allow the cat to empty their bowels normally. I ended up having to take my cat to this vet nearly every other month. Dr. Gall would say he would not charge for boarding, but it would always appear on the bill. I would say between my partner and myself there was a vast fortune spent on my animal. It never cost less than four hundred dollars a pop for an enema, and was usually a good bit more. Since the bill was usually so large the office stated we would be allowed to write post-dated checks to be paid in 3 intervals. At one point one of the checks was deposited before the date written on the check. This caused a number of financial problems. That was not enough-- this month they did it again, and it was the last straw. Dr. Gall took a shaming attitude, "After all we've done for you..." The office took no responsibility ever for anything that went wrong. To make matters much worse, I never once received one follow up call for the status of my cat. Also Dr. Gall has great difficulty listening. I would often tell him important information which was either disregarded as unimportant or ignored all together. Dr. Gall has very little patience, and his staff will not tolerate working past the little hand on five and the big hand on twelve. We have been sold the wrong food, and you guessed it, it was our fault. Recently Dr. Gall informed me that my cat was not on both medications she would need in order to keep from having enema after enema. My partner and I just looked at each other in disbelief. So much trauma could have been avoided...he then gave me some enemas to take home in case she needed them. Save yourself heartache, headache and a fortune. DO NOT USE THIS VET. Read Less

I have been going to Dr Gall for years and up until recently I was happy with him, he was always nice to me and my pets and took good care of them but then again I had only been there for either minor reasons or simple yearly check-ups and shots.I had a cat named Binx for over 17 years and he was my little buddy, yes he was old and a few months ago started peeing on the floor just about everyday and occasionally pooping on the floor too.  His poop had recently become very soft, yellowish and had a fowl smell.  I had done my research and found that his age was a factor and could have been a variety of issues including cancer.  I was planning a 10 vacation to visit my family Massachusetts and decided to take him to get checked to see if it was something treatable but not expensive since he was so old and didn't have much time left anyway.  They ran blood work and found nothing that could cause this and explained to me that further testing would be very costly and chances are it could be cancer.  They gave me some medication to give him to help with the very soft poop and gave him a shot of antibiotics and sent him home with me.  Two days later on Wednesday the 3rd his stool problem had gotten worse and I was leaving for my trip early on the 5th and decided it was time to put him down since I wouldn't be here and didn't want to leave him in this condition under someone else care.  All this time his appetite was great but he was drinking an enormous amount of water to replace the fluids he was losing.Dr Gall was the Dr I saw this time and Binx was perky and headbutting me and just being his sweet self and I was holding back the tears as he was checking him out.  Dr. Gall then asked me to leave him with him and that he wanted to try something since he didn't appear so sick except for the stool problem and that he wouldn't charge me for the boarding and only the food since I couldn't afford it.  I was very happy and and left my little buddy in his care.  He told me to call him on Tuesday the 9th for his progress.I called Monday the 8th and Dr Gall told me that Binx wasn't keeping anything down and it was time to do what I had originally went there for, I started to cry because I had wanted to be there for him and told him to go ahead .  I returned on Monday the 15th and went to pick up his body that he had kept in the freezer but Dr Gall was at lunch on the phone with his receptionist and said he would call me the next day.  The doctor on his staff that brought me Binx's body was very nice and when I asked if he suffered he told me that when they are that far gone they don't feel anything.  I asked what he meant by that because he was very active when I left him and he told me Binx was not eating at all while he was there those 5 days.  Dr Gall never called me, I called again and the receptionist said they were busy and he would call me by the end of the day but again he never called.You see Binx got depressed because I left him there and wouldn't eat, they could have called me.  I would have had someone pick him up and bring him home to be with my other cat, he was eating very well at home.   I am so upset at the way he spent his last days and had to die without me being there for him when it could have been avoided.  Dr Gall lied to me about his condition and also the charges, his charged me $24.50 for food that he did not eat and $100 for boarding which he said he wouldn't charge me and 6 days of that was in the freezer.I will never bring any of my pets to him again, I have lost all faith in him.

I'm sorry that so many people had such negative experiences, but mine was quite different. The staff was very friendly and kind. They were sweet and loving toward our dogs. We were in and out fairly quickly. The bill ended up being a lot less than I expected which was great considering we don't have pet insurance. They weren't pushy about tacking extras on. I don't think our vet was Dr. Gall. She was a lady whose name I didn't catch and she was super nice. I'm definitely going back to Chatham Animal Hospital from now on and I wholeheartedly recommend them.Read Less

My experience was quite different than Jessica's from a few years ago.  I went to this vet after recently moving back to Savannah (my previous vet had moved out of the area).  Perhaps I just caught him on a bad day, but Dr. Gall had absolutely zero bedside manner.  My dog had a severe skin condition and was in a lot of pain and, upon "meeting" her (and me), Dr. Gall pointed to the scale.  No hello, no how are you, no let the dog smell you and get comfortable, no kindness, nothing.  I asked, "Do you want me to put her up on the scale?" since he had said nothing at that point.  "Mm-hmm" was his response.  Uh, what?  That's it?  Yup, that was it.  The entire appointment took less than 5 minutes and he grunted out that yes, it was a skin condition (I kind of already knew that, thanks), and here's the prescription.  I had to ask how it was to be dispensed, if we needed follow-up, anything else I should know?  It was like pulling teeth to get any response.  Weird.  And then of course the checkout to the tune of $140.  Great.I would not go back to this place nor recommend it to anyone.

If you want to know how I came to this place just read my review on Banfield!All you need to know is that they never over charge, they are fabulous with animals and the place feels sooo homey that it is, in fact, a vet office that once was a house! Tut can be squirmy, hates needles, and is smart enough to know what's coming and even all that doesn't faze these people. They are always sweet and helpful.In fact, when my friend Monica was in town and needed some meds for her dog, they just agreed to see her and help her out, no questions asked. They were so great to Monica and Giles she even said she wished they were her vet (despite the ten hour drive it would take to get there! Ha haI guess what I'm trying to say is that if you are in need of a vet, check them out. I couldn't be happier with their care of my dog. Read Less
