I recommend folks bring their pets here for general vet care, but avoid having Dr.Kuhn being your vet. The staff is great and very caring. Dr Wilson specifically took great care of my dog when I urgently brought him in after getting attacked by a bear near the parkway. My follow up visits when Dr Wilson was off left me with Dr. Kuhn. He was curt, abrupt, and seemed annoyed when I had questions to ask him. Annoyed that I would bring my dog in to him when I'm just following doctors orders. Once he was done speaking at me, he abruptly turned around and left the room, forcefully closing the door behind him. I was left in the room stunned and confused as to what just happened - did he really just speak to me and act that way?! The next follow up visit he didn't even bother to come out and speak with me at all. As a regular vet clinic, this place seems great. They are also AAHA certified! But maybe stay away for emergencies and definitely Dr Kuhn.

My husband and I moved to Asheville in June with Wally, our beautiful, 14-year-old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. A few weeks earlier, Wally was diagnosed with lung cancer. We looked at several veterinary practices in Asheville and decided to make an appointment with Dr. Tom Kuhn at Animal Hospital South. It was a good choice. We will always be grateful to Dr. Kuhn for supporting us in our decision to not subject Wally to major surgery that would be unlikely to extend his life (at age14, he already had reached his life expectancy). Wally went home on powerful anti-inflammatory and pain medications to control his persistent cough and any pain he might have. He had another 6 months of full life. He went with us on hikes, swam, fetched, ran and enjoyed good sleep and healthy appetite. And we gave him treats at our every meal - something he was not allowed before. In the meantime, all we needed was just call the practice to extend Wally's prescriptions, adjust doses and pick up medications at either location. We saw Dr. Kuhn or Dr. Welsh for Wally's ongoing health needs, always receiving excellent advice, care and kind words of support. When the inevitable came, Dr. Tom Kuhn gave Wally his immediate attention. We said goodbye to our Friend at Animal Hospital East. We could not have asked for more support, kindness and compassion that everyone at the Clinic extended to us. The practice also took care of all the arrangements for cremation and delivery of ashes. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Doctors, veterinary Nurses and the most kind administrative Staff at both East and South practice locations. We highly recommend this practice, especially if you need expert and compassionate help with your pet's terminal condition.

What a positive experience I had at this hospital! I was from out of town and was visiting family during the holidays when my dog got VERY sick. The hospital allowed me to come in first thing in the morning, with no wait. Dr. Willson was phenomenal. Kind, thorough and took a lot of time with us. She followed up later in the day with us, at no additional cost, and then again the next day. The amount of concern was comforting and genuine. Every employee that worked was just as thoughtful.

My cats are comfortable with the vet and staff here. The staff are always so kind, helpful, & shower my cats with compliments. I’ve been a customer since 2020. I’ve moved to the other side of Asheville but this is still the best vet in the area so the 20 minute drive is worth it.

Always very kind staff and fast scheduling and almost never have to wait past my appointment time, even then it’s only by ten minutes at the most. I take all four of my cats there and have since I got them. They are also very good and caring with the animals under their care. Can’t recommend them enough!
