I have been taking my beloved mixed breed pup Dita to see Dr. Maples since 2014. When I adopted her in Charleston, SC in 2011, we got a complimentary vet visit and I got so incredibly lucky to find an amazing independent vet right behind my neighborhood in Johns Island, SC. When I moved back to Charlotte, I was worried I would be stuck with a "big box" vet or a larger animal hospital where she might see a different vet each visit. Finding Dr. Maples and South End Vet was such an amazing blessing! The entire staff truly treats my dog like she is their own, and they are equally caring and patient with people. Dita had a lump on her ear last year and my mom and sister took her to get it checked while I was out of town. It turned out to be a mast cell tumor, and my mother was devastated. When i talked to her and my sister after their visit, she said she was so impressed by Dr. Maples compassion and patience with her when she got upset at the office during the visit, despite her fact that he had never met her before. My sister agreed and said he was professional, honest, and kind during the whole visit. He told them I could call with any questions or stop by when I was back from my trip, and I took him up on it. He didn't charge any kind of visit or consultation fee for all the follow up he did with me personally after her initial diagnostic visit and was very honest about her options and supportive of my choices. It was a long road that also included a special veterinary oncologist and surgeon, but sixteen months later, Dita the one-eared wonder dog is kickin' it cancer-free with the help of South End Vet! We are proud to be extremely satisfied clients and highly recommend them to everyone we know! Read Less
