The practice is convenient to both Greenville (just a few miles away from BMW) and Spartanburg.
I went to her when my 4-yr old male was getting worse (ended up going into GI stasis) after being on Bactrim (prescribed by a different vet from a different practice) for 3 days for a UTI. She specializes in exotics and immediately knew what to do (changed and added meds, ordered x-rays). She explained everything to me and would not release him until his GI output was improving. She encouraged me to come visit him, stay as long as I wanted to and answered any and all questions, as silly as they were. She called me on a Sunday to check on him and didn't mind me calling her at home (and I did).
There's another vet there as well, Dr. Lauren Johnson, that took over for one day and she was just as excellent. She also currently owns 2 cavies as her personal pets.
The vet techs were excellent. They all fussed over my pig, didn't mind my tears, and would go outside to get him grass to tempt him into eating.
Excellent and knowledgeable care.

- I found Dr. Hoppmann through the South Carolina Guinea Pig Rescue, and she also strongly supports rescues. She is a very caring vet. She knew a great deal about all different exotics (yes I own several!) and is always willing to learn. I didn't have to wait long for my appointment, everyone was nice and I felt like Dr. Hoppmann really spent a great deal of time with me and my guinea pig. She is wonderful!

Not an absolute expert on pigs, but is very willing to listen if you bring printed out things from GL. She trimmed and filed my adopted pig's teeth when they were trapping his tongue. Knows what meds are dangerous for pigs. If I have an emergency with a small animal they are willing to fit me in that day because they know how fast these guys can go downhill. She has called a vet in Atlanta when she was stumped on one of my pigs. When I was convinced Morrison had a heart problem, she did an X-ray and said she saw nothing except a lot of gas and that if I wanted to try heart meds, that would be fine. (The heart meds worked and she was very happy!) I have never used her for surgery, but she has put my pigs under to check their teeth and they always come back fine!
