Meet the Team Behind the Care

Charleston Heights Veterinary Clinic has been part of the local community for decades, and that history shapes how we care for pets today. Our animal hospital has the feel of a small family practice, where conversations are personal and decisions are made with your pet’s comfort in mind.

Dr. Katherine Benton, owner of Charleston Heights Veterinary Clinic, has been part of the practice for close to 27 years. That kind of long-term presence matters. Many of our clients appreciate seeing familiar faces, working with a team that remembers their pet, and knowing their veterinarian is deeply invested in the clinic and community.

Our building also reflects who we are. With three exam rooms in a converted house, our space feels cozy, approachable, and far from corporate. We believe that friendly, steady care can make veterinary visits easier for pets and the people who bring them in.

We Bring the Clinic to You with House Calls

For established clients, Charleston Heights Veterinary Clinic offers house calls in and around the Charleston area when scheduling allows. This service can be helpful for pets who are anxious, have mobility challenges, or are more comfortable being examined at home.

House calls must be scheduled in advance and are not available for same-day urgent requests. Because our veterinarians also see in-clinic appointments, our team will help coordinate timing based on availability and your pet’s needs.
