We drive 1000 miles from South Carolina to Qi Vet because Dr. Nate provides expert, unequaled Eastern and Western veterinary care and Sophie, our Bearded Collie agrees! Dr. Nate’s approach leaves no gaps, addressing all aspects of her care and maintenance of wellness, including nutrition, behavioral and avoidance of illness. Between visits, the Qi Veterinary staff is outstanding in supporting care, answering questions and providing prescribed Chinese Herbal prescriptions. We would be lost without Qi Vet!

Dr Nate and his staff, who are so fortunate to work and learn from him, are truly exceptional providers of health care for animals. Four paws up x 10 and many tail wags. Yesterday was Tierry's 15th Birthday thanks to Dr Nate. Heartfelt Gratitude.
- Indominia
I'm so grateful for Dr. Nate. We had come from too many experiences with vets and neurologists where practitioners had harmed Obi and we left worse off than when we came. [At Qi], we felt safe and listened to, respected, cared for, and the care was phenomenal.
- Kendra
This was the best experience I have ever had at a veterinary clinic. Right off the bat the staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Sam!! She was thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and compassionate.
- Carly
We couldn't recommend a better animal clinic, they always prioritize exceptional servitude with grace and kindness. They are very detailed in addressing and facilitating customer understanding concerning any issue.

I left with tears in my eyes but not of sadness but of relief! The staff was amazing and very accommodating. Nate took so much time with my dog and truly cared about her. His knowledge on Eastern and Western medicine was so wonderful.
- Susan
Dr. Sam is fabulous. She is great with our animals and has been a wonderful addition to Qi.
- Jen and Cera
Just a quick note to thank you ALL for our wonderful experience there earlier today. Pax traveled home happy and relaxed, and is very taken with his olive stick chew now. And I'm very appreciative for your professionalism and genuine caring. Looking forward to seeing and learning more from everyone there in the coming years!
- Laurie and Pax
Attentive to each of their individual needs, aware of each of their personalities (and quirks), and concerned about all of their well-being – your care of our crew means so much to us.
- Shawn & Melissa
Thank you for the incredible care and love you showed Ginger and us. Ginger’s quality (and quantity) of life was amazing thanks to the thoughtful and wholistic treatment you provided and guidance you gave us.
- Annie and Grace
Our little family cannot thank you enough for the care you provided for Luna during her adult years and the thoughtfulness and support you offered in her final days. Switching over to Qi years ago for her care was probably the best thing we could have done for our old girl.
