Wonderful caring people! Emily, the vet, has a well deserved reputation in the community as she is highly regarded for her knowledge and experience. If you want great care for your pet, you cannot do any better than here!
Joseph Azar
Everyone at this office has been so amazing. I'm flying to the UK with my cat and they have done everything possible to help me during the process with research, my timeline, and being responsive if I had questions. They've made a somewhat difficult process much easier and I can't thank them enough! I would absolutely recommend them.

We had the good fortune to find Dr. Emily Hoppmann of Elgin Veterinary Hospital when searching for a vet that would treat exotic animals like my chinchilla. With the amazing care she and her staff provided to my chinchilla, it was an extremely easy decision to move all of my pets to her. All my fur kids have been a part of her extended family going on 4 years now and the level of care they receive cannot be matched! They provide honesty, sincere, and through care. You will be provided all the details regarding your pets care plan and the best options they have to offer. If you want the very best care for your fur kids, I highly recommend Elgin Veterinary Hospital!

Dana Moore Pruitt
The best vet experience i have ever had. they genuinely love the pet! when you call them with questions, they are POLITE and don't act like you are bothering them, as i had experienced with the last vet i went to. Elgin Veterinary Hospital is absolutely the best. If you live in NE Columbia, it is worth the drive to come to our little town of Elgin to this Vet! Awesome people and comfortable atmosphere!
Mary Bumpas
This is hands down the best place to take your animals. We have used other vets in the past and Dr. Hoppmann and her friendly and knowledgeable staff are the best, no comparisons. I absolutely love and trust them with our animals because they treat them as if they were their own babies!!
Dr. Emily is family and that’s all we need. She has our ultimate trust and respect. She cares for our animals as though they were her own. We realize that she must make a living in the process and we trust that she does only what’s most prudent and cost effective in treating our “kids”.
John Cochran
This is absolutely the very best, most excellent vet care ever. My opinion is based on pet ownership and actual relationships with Veterinarians, Vet Hospitals and Vet staff over a period of 50 years. Experiences in New York, Hawaii and South Carolina veterinary. My pets are family and as with my biological children, a great Veterinarian is a must for me. Dr. Emily Hoppman, Lori, Molly and all staff members make sure you receive the best care, while giving your pet their best as well. All your medical, surgical, boarding, etc needs are exceeded here. The prices are very economical and in most cases lower than other Vets. If you are serious about your pet's care, Elgin Veterinary Hospital is a 10 plus plus many times over.

Being new to the area and not knowing anyone to ask, I chose Elgin Veterinary Hospital after reading all the great reviews. I was not disappointed! Dr Hoppmann was wonderful with my cat. She is very compassionate and informative. You can tell this isn't just a job to her, this is what she loves. Every one of the employees were super nice, chatty, and happy to answer any questions I had. I feel very relieved to have found such a great place to take my furbabies!
Samantha Putman
I cannot praise this team of people enough. Dr. Hoppmann is a wonderful person who truly cares about my pets as much as I do. She is so knowledgeable, and never hesitates to answer all of your questions. The staff is also friendly and extremely helpful. She has been caring for my animals (two cats and a dog) for a few years now, and there is nobody else I'd trust to take them to. She literally saved my cat's life once - and made it an affordable experience. This cat now has to be on medication for the rest of her life, and Dr. Hoppmann came up with a solution that is both low-cost and low-stress for us and our precious kitty. I highly recommend this veterinary clinic based on their affordability and the genuine, caring nature of the staff and doctor. They really do treat you like family.
Alyssa
Dr. Hoppman took excellent care of our cat and the office has done follow-ups to check on him. I would highly recommend this hospital!
Jeremy Harris
Dr. Emily Hoppman and her wonderful, attentive staff at Elgin Veterinary Hospital make you feel like part of the family! The 25-minute drive from downtown Columbia is worth it to experience the best veterinary care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets in the Midlands.
S Clark
Dr. Emily Hoppmann is a very sincere, devoted, professional vet. She was wonderful with my cranky cat. Not only does she take care of dogs and cats, but her love for all animals took her back to school to learn to work with exoctics. I highly recommend her.
mike mays
My 2 babies were seen other than yearly shots. One had to be neutered, the other is 13 yr old pug that has severe arthritis and I worried about his pain and it being recommended he be kindly euthanized. The Doctor and staff are compassionate and really listen. He was able to come home with me on 2 meds to help him feel so much better. I bring my dogs from Lancaster to go there and a big plus, because my dogs mess have refills I can go online to their site to refill the meds and they mail them here for me. Thank you all for giving me the peaceful decision to take my pug home with me today knowing his pain is controlled and I'm not letting him suffer. Very sincerely, Kelly Floyd

We have been taking our girls (wirehair fox terriers) to Dr. Hoppmann since puppy hood—11 years. She has always been there for the girls—with her and the staff’s assuring tone-you can just rest assured the best care is being delivered Dr Hoppmann is amazing with her knowledge and caring attitude. Her medical and surgical skills are excellent. She is constantly educating herself to ensure she delivers the most up to date quality care. I love and appreciate her conservative approach to the care she offers. The staff that works with Dr. Hoppmann is top notch—one of my girls even wants to be a greeter at the clinic. The drive to Elgin Vet Clinic is well worth the peace of mind we receive for taking my girls to the best vet clinic in the Midlands. I totally trust her and the staff for the care of my girls.
Sharon McCraney
Absolutely love this place! They see reptiles and exotics too! Incredible service, took very good care of my baby. My snake - Pascale.

My wife and I have been taking our animals to Dr. Hoppmann for a little over a year, and have always received excellent care. One of our cats recently had a very difficult auto-immune problem, and it's no exaggeration to say that this animal hospital saved the cat's life; furthermore, the price of care for this disease at other vets' offices were so high that we would not have been able to afford it, but the prices at the Elgin Veterinary Hospital were low enough that we could get our pet the care she needed. I hate to think about what would have happened without Dr. Hoppmann.
Spencer Robinson
Dr. Hoppmann and her amazing staff all have kindness and love in their hearts. Everyone works together as a team to help get your pets feeling better. I've been using Dr. Hoppmann for years and don't ever plan on using another vet. No cat, dog or exotic animal is too big or too small to be seen!!
Taylor Branham
Excellent and friendly staff and doctor. Love that they educate and give you options. So glad I found them and am making them our new vet. Also love that they call to remind you of appointments.
David Jennings
we met Dr. Hoppmann about 6 months ago after our ferret spent an extremely expensive evening at the emergency room. she quickly diagnosed our Popeye as having an insulinoma and went thru all of our options. she was extremely thorough and honest. we knew that there was no permanent fix, but her course of treatment gave our pop an extra 3 months of happy living. when it did come time for the hard decision to be made, she showed so much compassion to our pet and my husband and I, we felt like she was part of our family. we have since started bringing our other pets to her, and trust her and her staff 100%. we live in Irmo and have no problem driving the 30 minutes to see her. she is the only vet there, so you know exactly who will be seeing your pet. her staff is extremely courteous and helpful. they even send you pictures of your animals in recovery after surgery so you know they are ok! and the prices here are about 2/3rds of most of the vets I've visited in Columbia. Dr. Hoppmann, we love you!!!!! I would highly recommend taking your pet here:)
Justin Johns
By far the best Veterinary Hospital in South Carolina! Friendly staff and Dr Hoppmann is top notch, always continuing her education to ensure the best health care for our animals. Dr Hoppmann compassion for our exotics is incredible, at Elgin Veterinary Hospital your not just a client, your family. We are so happy we found her. Cesar and Donna Pinillos
Cesar Pinillos
Dr. Hoppman is the best! Our pets love her and the employees are amazing too! They really care about animals and what is best for their well being. Highly recommend Elgin Veterinary Hospital!
Mandy Bumgarner
I struggled finding a good veterinarian around Columbia, until I found Dr. Hoppmann at Elgin Veterinary Hospital. No one could figure out what was wrong with my 6 week old chocolate lab puppy until a friend recommend Dr. Hoppmann. She knew exactly how to get him feeling better at a fraction of the cost of the other places in town. I will trade a short drive for superior care any day.
Patrick Spotts
I take my java macaque to Elgin Veterinary Hospital and he is a patient of Dr. Emily Hoppmann. She has done everything from a basic exam to surgery. Not only is Dr. Hoppmann down to earth but she is very knowledgeable. I know that when I take my pet to her, he is getting excellent care. The staff there is also wonderful. They are all very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Hoppmann.
Victoria Akers
Emily and her staff take the best care of my puppy. They go out of their way to help anytime I have to go out of town or have any questions. Despite having an Elgin address, it is VERY close to Columbia and is a very short ride. I am a customer for life!
Mark Schnee
Dr Hoppmann actually cares about you and your pet. She is honest, kind and not just there to take your money. She is without doubt the best I have known in my many years of being owned by furbabies.
Ginger Jackson
My entire family and I take our fur babies to Dr Hoppman. Her staff is always friendly and inviting and Dr Hoppman is knowledgeable and is always happy to answer any questions and give your pet the best care possible.
Diana Rivers
On this visit, the Veterinarian there, in absence of Emily Hoppman, helped me learn that my cat, Diesel, is in fact allergic to her cat food. Now that she has no chicken or chicken meal in her food, she is no longer agitated, the hot spots have all healed, her hair is growing back and she’s gaining weight!
Krystal Scott-Rhodes
I always have a wonderful experience here, and learn so much about taking care of a puppy! All the staff are really friendly. I highly recommend going here to take great care your family pet.
Helen Carr
Dr. Hoppman took care of our bunny, Harmony, for eight years. Bunnies are very fragile and under her care, Harmony lived a happy and healthy life. When she got sick, Dr. Hoppman was kind and knowledgable and the bunny came back from severe illnesses four times. When her end time came, Dr. Hoppman treated Harmony as a member of her family, expressing sorrow and strength that I wish all medical professionals would have. Highly recommended for rabbit care!!
Cassie Premo Steele
Great vet. We have taken our 3 dogs and ferret here. Very nice staff. Very reasonable prices.

Greg Kyle
They are great with my dogs, but a little on the expensive side. The staff is very caring and informative !
Jennifer Farr
We love Dr. Emily and her staff!! Everyone is so kind and caring. I recommend Elgin Veterinary Hospital for all your pets.
Judy Branham
Thank you for taking care of Bray during her dental work. I think she loves coming there more than home. She has been asleep since we got home this afternoon from all the attention she received. You know Bray is my little girl and I trust her with very few people! You guys are great!!!
Les Boan
Always go above and beyond here. Think this is my second review. I won't take my fur babies anywhere else but here unless it is an emergency and they are closed. Highly recommend them.
