Just brought our newly adopted senior dog here and had a great experience! We had to wait a bit due to a busy afternoon but it was worth it. The doctor made me feel like he truly cared about my dog and I felt he knew what he was talking about. I was confident in him within minutes. My last vet never called to check on my animals after any appointments, Swift Creek did and they will follow up later on..this is very important to me. Everyone at the front desk was warm and friendly. Definitely recommend!

I took my 14 year old pup to Swift Creek Animal Hospital for a work up for her pain. Dr. Meeler examined her thoroughly from head to tail. She performed chiropractic work from her pelvis to her neck as there were many misaligned vertebrae that were causing her pain walking and holding her head. She did a blood panel to check for any abnormalities.My girl walked out a much happier girl and I have seen big improvements in her walking with me in the woods and around the house. I have been using Swift Creek Animal Hospital since Dr. Gintis first opened it in the early eighties. I love all the care that they have given to my dogs in the many years I have known them. They give the best care and I would not use anyone else.

We've been taking our good good girls to Swift Creek Animal Hospital for 3 years, and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Everyone we have ever had any contact with, on the phone or in person, has been so friendly and helpful. It is always a pleasure to go there. We've got a recurring issue with one of our ladies and her inability to clear her own... well, let's just say it's a messy business and she needs a monthly visit with a vet tech to keep her from chewing around her hindquarters. So I know whereof I speak when I say these guys are ALWAYS friendly, always helpful, and always happy to see Alice even when they are going to have to deal with her anal glands (oops, sorry Alice, didn't mean to embarrass you!) We see Dr. O'Brien, and she's just fantastic. I really feel like she cares about my sweet neurotic doggo just as much as I do. Can't recommend Swift Creek enough!

I can’t say enough good things about the entire staff here! They are all so kind and loving, I trust their judgement and value their opinion for best options. I have a new puppy and had some concerns, they made time in the day (as a new client) to see me and thank goodness they did, he was very sick. They loved him back to health and shared information with me every step of the way. I couldn’t have had a better experience.

Swift Creek seems to be the Animal Hospital we prefer over any others. We just keep coming back despite a longer commute. Customer Service is immediate - as soon as we walk in the door. They are friendly despite it being a Monday or being busy. I use them for boarding (same day and weekends when needed) Bath, nail trim, all shots, and food as well. I've never had any issue and I appreciate having them take great care of our dog. I'm able to relax while on vacation.

I usually avoid vet offices like the plague. Doctors are rude and everything is overpriced. I always go to affordable mobile clinics in the area. My baby girl had a hematoma and needed immediate attention so I brought her here. Dr. Meeler is amazing. She's super easy to talk to, very friendly, and cares so much about her patients. She even called me on her vacation to talk about surgery options. If I ever need to bring my kiddos to the vet again, I'll always go back to Dr. Meeler.
Would have given 5/5 but Dr. Bost (other vet) is extremely rude, and only cares about money. If you're new to this office, request Dr. Meeler! Most of the vet tech staff are very friendly as well. It was a long 5 or 6 weeks, but my girl is healthy and that's all that matters. Thank you Swift Creek!

Love these folks. Dr. Gintis is wonderful and all the other vets and personnel are just terrific. We have been going to Swift Creek for years and have never had a bad experience. They kindly and lovingly helped us through the loss of our two elderly dogs within the past year. We now have a new puppy and she actually likes going to the vet. They also do boarding and we always take Kenzie there when we go out of town. The fact that she is happy to go there shows that she is always treated well. I 100% recommend Swift Creek Animal Hospital.

I am a Swift Creek convert! I had been using another local vet for the past 5 years, and over the last year my cat has been sick and no matter what, she wasn't getting better. A friend referred me to Swift Creek for a second opinion. When we left the country for a week and needed to board our cat since she wasn't well, we left her in the hands of the staff at Swift Creek and by the time we got back, she was like a different cat! Healthy and energetic! The staff kept in touch with me and got my authorization before running tests, administering meds, or doing procedures, and they seriously did more for my cat in one week than the last vet could do in 5 years. I am so thankful to Swift Creek and their amazing staff for giving me back my happy, healthy cat. They treated her like she was their own and she was so comfortable with them. Since then, we have switched to Swift Creek and will never go anywhere else. The staff continues to check in about my cat between appointments and this clinic is much more concerned about the well-being of these animals than about making money. Their costs are affordable compared to many others in the area and the people are so kind and compassionate. I highly recommend if you are looking for a new vet in the area.

Horrible Experience.
The doctors are ok, but the administrative staff and technicians are horrible. How this place has such a high rating is beyond me. I've been here a few times but this time brought my pet in for its shots and I waited almost a half an our after my SCHEDULED appointment. I understand that it can be busy but at least keep me updated on what my wait time is going to be. Beware of the receptionists and don't come in during 'lunch time'.

I took our cats here for the last 5 years after we moved to the area and they were the closest to our house. They weren't nearly as thorough as the cat-only vet I used to go to, but they were fine for just doing routine exams. Then as my cats aged they started to need some surgeries and the vets here also informed me that one of my cats really needed to have two teeth removed. Even after having some major procedures done here, I never liked the fact that every time I took my cats in I was seeing a different doctor and different technicians. They didn't know my animals like my last vet did, and I felt like I was constantly starting over telling them their medical history. They don't keep good records here and they don't do a great job of explaining what they are doing or giving the cat. I didn't much like the fact that they take the cats out of the exam room via a back door to give them their shots, as I have no idea what is going on when they leave me in the room. The last straw was when I had both cats get a 3 year rabies vaccine, which luckily I kept my receipt and have both their tags, but they kept sending me a card claiming that one of my cats was due for a rabies shot only 6 months later! This proves they do not keep good records.

Very clean place with great people that really know their stuff. I can say that I haven't had the same experience as the others that took time to write a poor review and I strongly urge you look past their own personal experiences with this place. I have visited a lot of vet offices/animal hospitals this year and have not felt more welcomed anywhere else except Swift Creek Animal Hospital. I also liked the fact that is located on a very safe road (crime-wise) and is in a well-wooded lot. Like I mentioned before, I have visited a lot of different places trying to find the right location for my two dog. I do not enjoy conflict/conformation for my own personal beliefs when it comes to my animal's health and well-being. They didn't try to stomp down my ideas, but were rather very intelligent and gave me the opportunity to be myself. The staff is very intelligent and skilled (compared to 10 plus veterinarians I have talked to) and operate in a very clean and beautiful place. I strongly urge you to give them the try. If it wasn't for me turning down the "wrong" road, I would have truly missed out.Please visit their facebook page for more updated reviews!facebook.com/pages/Swift…

The ""only"" thing I don't like is the entrance and exit, expecially during highpeak traffic hours. GWE

You could not find a more caring or dedicated group of doctors and staff. These people all love animals and it shows. We've been taking our cats here for 11 years and the service level has always been great - rarely spend any time waiting (how unusual is that at any kind of doctors?), everyone is always so gentle with our pets and they always take the time to explain exactly what they find and any courses of treatment that are required. If our cats could talk they'd tell you that though they still hate going to the ""vet"", these are really fine, caring people.

This is such an awesome animal hospital. Good, honest medicine is practiced here--no gimics to make you buy goods or services you don't need. Dr. Gintis really takes his time to treat the patient and educate the owner. And he's not afraid to refer if a specialty procedure is needed. A great place to bring your pet!

Just brought our newly adopted senior dog here and had a great experience! We had to wait a bit due to a busy afternoon but it was worth it. The doctor made me feel like he truly cared about my dog and I felt he knew what he was talking about. I was confident in him within minutes. My last vet never called to check on my animals after any appointments, Swift Creek did and they will follow up later on..this is very important to me. Everyone at the front desk was warm and friendly. Definitely recommend!

I took my 14 year old pup to Swift Creek Animal Hospital for a work up for her pain. Dr. Meeler examined her thoroughly from head to tail. She performed chiropractic work from her pelvis to her neck as there were many misaligned vertebrae that were causing her pain walking and holding her head. She did a blood panel to check for any abnormalities.My girl walked out a much happier girl and I have seen big improvements in her walking with me in the woods and around the house. I have been using Swift Creek Animal Hospital since Dr. Gintis first opened it in the early eighties. I love all the care that they have given to my dogs in the many years I have known them. They give the best care and I would not use anyone else.

We've been taking our good good girls to Swift Creek Animal Hospital for 3 years, and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Everyone we have ever had any contact with, on the phone or in person, has been so friendly and helpful. It is always a pleasure to go there. We've got a recurring issue with one of our ladies and her inability to clear her own... well, let's just say it's a messy business and she needs a monthly visit with a vet tech to keep her from chewing around her hindquarters. So I know whereof I speak when I say these guys are ALWAYS friendly, always helpful, and always happy to see Alice even when they are going to have to deal with her anal glands (oops, sorry Alice, didn't mean to embarrass you!) We see Dr. O'Brien, and she's just fantastic. I really feel like she cares about my sweet neurotic doggo just as much as I do. Can't recommend Swift Creek enough!

I can’t say enough good things about the entire staff here! They are all so kind and loving, I trust their judgement and value their opinion for best options. I have a new puppy and had some concerns, they made time in the day (as a new client) to see me and thank goodness they did, he was very sick. They loved him back to health and shared information with me every step of the way. I couldn’t have had a better experience.

Swift Creek seems to be the Animal Hospital we prefer over any others. We just keep coming back despite a longer commute. Customer Service is immediate - as soon as we walk in the door. They are friendly despite it being a Monday or being busy. I use them for boarding (same day and weekends when needed) Bath, nail trim, all shots, and food as well. I've never had any issue and I appreciate having them take great care of our dog. I'm able to relax while on vacation.

I usually avoid vet offices like the plague. Doctors are rude and everything is overpriced. I always go to affordable mobile clinics in the area. My baby girl had a hematoma and needed immediate attention so I brought her here. Dr. Meeler is amazing. She's super easy to talk to, very friendly, and cares so much about her patients. She even called me on her vacation to talk about surgery options. If I ever need to bring my kiddos to the vet again, I'll always go back to Dr. Meeler.
Would have given 5/5 but Dr. Bost (other vet) is extremely rude, and only cares about money. If you're new to this office, request Dr. Meeler! Most of the vet tech staff are very friendly as well. It was a long 5 or 6 weeks, but my girl is healthy and that's all that matters. Thank you Swift Creek!

We have entrusted all of our 4-legged family members’ care to this wonderful group of vets for 20 years. They are caring, understanding, and respectful. I’ve never felt pushed into any treatment, and have always felt like our animals were in good hands. They’ve cared for us and our pets from the first treatment for a stray cat, to a home visit to put down our beloved dog. They are honest, down to earth pet people. Can’t give a better recommendation!

Great vet, so far. I moved my cat from Gentle Care Animal Hospital to Swift Creek because I felt I was getting absolutely gauged at Gentle Care. These folks took the time to explain to me what my kitty needed, and how much it would cost so I wasn't blindsided by unexpected bills. It's clear they definitely care for the animals, as well.

Love these folks. Dr. Gintis is wonderful and all the other vets and personnel are just terrific. We have been going to Swift Creek for years and have never had a bad experience. They kindly and lovingly helped us through the loss of our two elderly dogs within the past year. We now have a new puppy and she actually likes going to the vet. They also do boarding and we always take Kenzie there when we go out of town. The fact that she is happy to go there shows that she is always treated well. I 100% recommend Swift Creek Animal Hospital.

Always helped me make decisions and always was honest and never just gave me a fluff answer Dr Gintis and his staff are truly elite and fair trustworthy and no one should give anything less than a 5 star to them-- if they did it was probably Bc it was a rough time for them and they had to blame someone I have brought cats kitten puppies dogs friend dogs even a turkey there and they helped us without hesitation !

I am a Swift Creek convert! I had been using another local vet for the past 5 years, and over the last year my cat has been sick and no matter what, she wasn't getting better. A friend referred me to Swift Creek for a second opinion. When we left the country for a week and needed to board our cat since she wasn't well, we left her in the hands of the staff at Swift Creek and by the time we got back, she was like a different cat! Healthy and energetic! The staff kept in touch with me and got my authorization before running tests, administering meds, or doing procedures, and they seriously did more for my cat in one week than the last vet could do in 5 years. I am so thankful to Swift Creek and their amazing staff for giving me back my happy, healthy cat. They treated her like she was their own and she was so comfortable with them. Since then, we have switched to Swift Creek and will never go anywhere else. The staff continues to check in about my cat between appointments and this clinic is much more concerned about the well-being of these animals than about making money. Their costs are affordable compared to many others in the area and the people are so kind and compassionate. I highly recommend if you are looking for a new vet in the area.

Horrible Experience.
The doctors are ok, but the administrative staff and technicians are horrible. How this place has such a high rating is beyond me. I've been here a few times but this time brought my pet in for its shots and I waited almost a half an our after my SCHEDULED appointment. I understand that it can be busy but at least keep me updated on what my wait time is going to be. Beware of the receptionists and don't come in during 'lunch time'. The girls up front like to rudely eat in front of you.

I took our cats here for the last 5 years after we moved to the area and they were the closest to our house. They weren't nearly as thorough as the cat-only vet I used to go to, but they were fine for just doing routine exams. Then as my cats aged they started to need some surgeries and the vets here also informed me that one of my cats really needed to have two teeth removed. Even after having some major procedures done here, I never liked the fact that every time I took my cats in I was seeing a different doctor and different technicians. They didn't know my animals like my last vet did, and I felt like I was constantly starting over telling them their medical history. They don't keep good records here and they don't do a great job of explaining what they are doing or giving the cat. I didn't much like the fact that they take the cats out of the exam room via a back door to give them their shots, as I have no idea what is going on when they leave me in the room. The last straw was when I had both cats get a 3 year rabies vaccine, which luckily I kept my receipt and have both their tags, but they kept sending me a card claiming that one of my cats was due for a rabies shot only 6 months later! This proves they do not keep good records.

Very clean place with great people that really know their stuff. I can say that I haven't had the same experience as the others that took time to write a poor review and I strongly urge you look past their own personal experiences with this place. I have visited a lot of vet offices/animal hospitals this year and have not felt more welcomed anywhere else except Swift Creek Animal Hospital. I also liked the fact that is located on a very safe road (crime-wise) and is in a well-wooded lot. Like I mentioned before, I have visited a lot of different places trying to find the right location for my two dog. I do not enjoy conflict/conformation for my own personal beliefs when it comes to my animal's health and well-being. They didn't try to stomp down my ideas, but were rather very intelligent and gave me the opportunity to be myself. The staff is very intelligent and skilled (compared to 10 plus veterinarians I have talked to) and operate in a very clean and beautiful place. I strongly urge you to give them the try. If it wasn't for me turning down the "wrong" road, I would have truly missed out.Please visit their facebook page for more updated reviews!facebook.com/pages/Swift…

The doctors are ok. Nothing special, but they get the job done. But this place is a factory - there's no personal care at all. The administrative staff is terrible. I call to schedule vet time with my dog due to dementia issues. They schedule a tech appt for a vaccine and the vets can't see her because they're "slammed". They also use a contact mgt service that will annoy the s*** out of you with confirmation and reminder emails and texts. I wish they respected my time as much as they want me to respect theirs. There's much better service available in this area.

We switched to Swift Creek for our 3 animals after a number of bad experiences elsewhere where vets were constantly pushing unnecessary and expensive tests, procedures and examinations. We have been so happy with Dr Riddle and the staff. No nonsense care. Affordable and courteous. Dr. Riddle was able to diagnose a troubling condition with our Golden that was corrected early and has led to a completely normal life style. Recommend them highly.

I've been going to SCAH for a number of years. First with my little Poppy - a Chihuahua mix I actually adopted by seeing his picture on SCAH's bulletin. He had seizures and then developed a heart condition. He got first rate care and attention and they were able to find a medication to stop his horrible seizures. Later when I had to have him put to sleep due to age and heart condition, it was done with care and sympathy. Then I got Ohso, another Chihuahua, and he too was treated with the greatest of care. Now I'm taking my little Chihuahua Rudi to them. From personal experience, I can highly recommend this vet hospital. Jean

I have been going to Dr. G and the other vets in the practice for 20 of the 21 years he has been in practice. Very knowledgable and caring. I have had mixed breeds and full blooded basenjis and he has been very good about researching my dogs symptoms to provide the best treatment for them. Two paws and two thumbs up.

I have had several pets over the past 35 years consisting of tarantulas,ferrets rabbits and dogs to name a few. I have used several vets in the Cary/Apex area. I have had only one negative experience at one emergency vet clinic. I can say with confidence that the vets and staff at Swift Creek Animal Hospital are the most qualified and caring you will find. I recommend this facility to every friend and my family members trust their pets with these doctors and staff.

My pet children have been going to SwiftCreek for 16yrs. I and my babies feel safeand taken care of. The Drs. and staff couldn't get any better. Smart,Funny,hardworking always willing to go the extra mile. When my babies are sick or had to go to heaven, the staff genuinely felt sadness for me and my babies. They do it for the right reasons to help the animals the don't charge high over priced fees, and try to talk you into something you or your animals don't need. Very honest,safe,clean,well run facility. Would never want to go anywhere else. Dr Creech and Dr Ginitis are wonderful and all of our boxers and cats agree!!!

Dr. Gintis & Dr. Creech saved my little poodles life 5 years ago! I am forever grateful for their love, care and concern for her, and myself, during that horrible ordeal. They have always spent quality time with us during our visits, I never feel rushed, and they explain things to where ""I"" can understand without using all the big medical terms. I LOVE this vet, the doctors, and the front desk staff - they are ALL very friendly, helpful, and quick to serve. The ""only"" thing I don't like is the entrance and exit, expecially during highpeak traffic hours. GWE

You could not find a more caring or dedicated group of doctors and staff. These people all love animals and it shows. We've been taking our cats here for 11 years and the service level has always been great - rarely spend any time waiting (how unusual is that at any kind of doctors?), everyone is always so gentle with our pets and they always take the time to explain exactly what they find and any courses of treatment that are required. If our cats could talk they'd tell you that though they still hate going to the ""vet"", these are really fine, caring people.

This is such an awesome animal hospital. Good, honest medicine is practiced here--no gimics to make you buy goods or services you don't need. Dr. Gintis really takes his time to treat the patient and educate the owner. And he's not afraid to refer if a specialty procedure is needed. A great place to bring your pet!
