We had gone to FRAH for years. My wife was heavily involved in animal rescue, so we have thrown business their way for many, many years. So it was completely disheartening for the events that unfolded the other day, to say the least. Our cat had been operated upon a couple of days prior and had surgical implanted drains just under his skin as well as several stitches to close the deep incision. We took our cat to get the drains removed and his vet tech took out all the stiches as well. The wound was deep and open and we were about 8 days away from removing them. We had a friend pick up our cat after the procedure and were shocked and HORRIFIED to what we came home to. We had to make an emergency trip to Bees Ferry the next day to make sure we weren't overreacting. The vet on duty was equally shocked and horrified. She also mentioned that she didn't see it possible that a vet did the original stitches in the first place, as the area looked so bad and not prepped for surgery at all. She ended up having to remove a little of the skin and use surgical staples. We faxed over the bill and report to Dr. Sheridan's office who only would not apologize, but would not pay for the bill, or admit fault. In fact he said (and I quote) ""The only reason we use stitches is because people don't like to see open wounds."" We were heartbroken, but at least our cat is still alive (thanks to Bees Ferry). If you are looking for a vet in the James Island/Folly Beach area and are put off by the cost of Bees Ferry, I would recommend Ohlandt.
Pros: Most of the office staff is friendly
Cons: Dr. Sheridan is a terrible vet
