Dr. Branch is the best! And his staff takes such good care of my pooches. We're so grateful!

Dr. Branch really doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to cats, but he'll make sure to charge you an arm and a leg for piss poor results. He loves to recommend the Hills Z/D diet as the "cure all" solution even when it's not necessary. When you try to suggest other options since it's a VERY expensive food (and the cats weren't even eating it), he'll dismiss you and insist that he knows what's best. He also loves to play fear tactics, gaslight you, and has a guilt tripping mindset, and that gets old very quickly and becomes quite annoying to talk with him when he does it.
Had to leave after that since I was paying a fortune and my cats were in worse health than when they originally came in; even the new vet I transferred to couldn't understand why he was doing what he was doing.
In addition to Dr. Branch, the other veterinarian there saw my cat for the first time when she had a nail that ripped off. Came in because it got infected and I needed some antibiotics for her. She recommended amputating the toe. I genuinely, with every brain cell that I have, cannot understand or comprehend why amputation was the first option out of her mouth or why she commented that antibiotics was a very conservative route to take. I'm not sorry, but that's a very logical first step to take and that shows you're in it for the money and not for the animals well being.
The only positive thing about this place is the vet tech Keesha. By far, the top tier level of care from her. I absolutely loved her and it was the only thing that made me want to come back until I just couldn't anymore.

Dr. Branch and his Staff are the best. They always make time for our 2 dogs! Yesterday, our sweet lab and been feeling bad for a few days and we called in the morning to see if she could be seen. They were able to make a spot for her. Dr. Branch determined she had a very serious infection and needed immediate, emergency surgery. He was able to help her and give her the surgery she needed which probably saved her life. I am so thankful to have such a great vet office in our community.

Dr Branch has taken care of my 10 dogs for the last 3 years and he is amazing!!! So caring and kind. I'm a paranoid mom and he always calms me down with his explanations in detail so I understand. My dogs also love him. My dogs range from 3lbs to 91lbs & he is excellant with all of them, I would recommend him to anyone !!

Doc Branch has been taking care of all my animals for longer then either him or I would like to admit. His staff is both caring and professional, with a genuine love for their patients. With a down to earth approach to animal care, Doc Branch, balances quality animal care with affordability.

Still 5 stars! 2 years+
I posted this on yelp today but I thought I could update here too:
I am so pleased with the care Dr. Branch and his staff give to both my pup and me. Before this office opened, we went to a vet on the island. My dog was always very upset going there and it seemed like the vet techs might have been rough with her because she ended up getting muzzled - that's when I said no more (this was during the pandemic when we could not go in with the animals). My dog is extremely gentle and mostly a big fraidy pup. The techs at Amelia Pointe are so loving. The space is clean and everyone is so friendly. Dr. Branch is personable as well. My dog had an injury that was taken care of swiftly today and as my dog is returned her tail is wagging. That's an A+ in my book.

Original post 2 years ago: Dr. Branch is wonderful. I really like how his office is very clean and my dog actually comes out wagging her tail after they bring her to the back for treatment. I was trying to switch vets for a while and it took maybe 6 weeks to finally get in to Dr. Branch but he immediately diagnosed my pup's situation and with one xray he confirmed it. My experience here has been nothing but wonderful and I look forward to great service. Be very careful with your veterinarian choice if you decide to go with one on the island.

If I could leave 10 stars, I would.
We had what we thought was a life and death emergency this morning with our Little Dog. She had lost the ability to walk, or even standup and instantly seemed incredibly sick. We called our usual vet and they didn’t have an appointment available, 2 others who couldn’t see a new patient. We called Amelia Pointe, explained the emergency and they were as compassionate as they possibly could have been. The staff- everyone we encountered were awesome. The veterinarian, Dr. Branch spoke to us in plain english, but with such confidence that you knew you were in the right place.
I know we have Robinson Emergency here, but I just didn’t have a good experience. I’m so thankful we have such a great vet so close by.
Kudos Dr Branch and staff! Thank y’all so much for today.
