About CVETS

CVETS, Columbia Veterinary Emergency, Trauma, and Specialty, is a rapidly expanding specialty/ER hospital in Columbia, SC with an urgent care clinic in Lexington, SC (approximately 20 minutes away). Our goal with this clinic is to help with the growing demand for urgent care treatment of mild cases in the area. Emergency departments are continuing to struggle with critical case volume and our patients experience extremely long wait times when our Critical Care Department is busy. We want to provide our patients with the ability to be seen and treated in a timely fashion.

About Lexington, South Carolina

• Prime Location: CVETS (our main hospital) is located in Columbia, SC which is South Carolina’s capital city. Our Urgent Care is located in Lexington, SC (approximately 20 minutes away) which is a county outside of Columbia. 
• When it comes to choosing a place to live, you've got the best of both worlds. If city life is what you're looking for, you'll love living in Columbia. There, you can go kayaking on the rapids of the Saluda River, check out local artwork at the world-class Columbia Museum of Art, try out the craft beer at some of Columbia’s breweries, or attend a Carolina Gamecock football game at Williams Brice Stadium to get the full experience!
• If you're more interested in relaxing, suburban life, you'll love Lexington! In the heart of Lexington is Lake Murray. You can enjoy boating, paddle-boarding, kayaking, or just lounging by the water on Lake Murray's shores.  Lexington also has a brand-new amphitheater, which hosts year-round concerts and events for local residents.
