Dr. Perzak brings to her practice a lifetime love of animals, an appreciation of pet owners and a commitment to a meaningful relationship with them. Raised in Greenville, the Pennsylvania native's road to graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine is an interesting one. Following 15 years in the field of restaurant management, Perzak eventually realized that medicine was her calling. Having worked as a part-time veterinary assistant while an undergraduate student at the University of South Carolina, at age 32, Perzak made the decision to go to vet school and hasn't looked back.
Services
Woodruff Road Animal Hospital is pleased to offer a variety of payment options for veterinary care. We do require payment at the time of service. If your pet must be hospitalized or admitted for surgery, the balance will be due upon patient discharge. We also offer our clients CareCredit No Interest Payment Plans.
Our canine guests enjoy luxury accommodations in our large suites. They receive 5-6 walks per day as well as playtime with our experienced kennel assistants. All of our canine guests get a complimentary bath before check out. For dog boarding, we require that they be up to date on their Distemper, Bordetella, Rabies, and Canine Influenza Vaccinations as well as a negative Intestinal Parasite Exam, and a current doctor/patient relationship. For our canine guests, we now offer the option of adding a busy bone onto their stay!
We do ask for a 24 hour notice for any prescription refill. If you are requesting more refills on a prescription from a local pharmacy, we require you to pick up a hand written prescription. If your pet is on a medication for a chronic illness such as Hyperthyroidism, Renal Failure, or Heart Disease, or if they are on an NSAID for arthritis, we require bloodwork every 6 months to ensure the medications are working like they should. We do not offer payment plans. But we do accept CareCredit and ScratchPay at our office which offer convenient payment options.

Woodruff Road Animal Hospital is one of the best places you can take your pet. My family and I have been taking our pets there for decades and it's amazing how much it has grown! The staff is always friendly, helpful and patient, which is a big relief when your cat has to be sedated just for an exam haha. Their love for animals shows in every interaction you have with them. I highly recommend them for all your veterinary needs!

Dr. Deborah Perzak is a phenomenal vet. Not only is she simply great at what she does, but she will treat feral cats, something many other vets will not do. (We also take our indoor cats to her for care.) We have had to have beloved furry family members euthanized along with sick/injured ferals who needed our help, and Dr. P epitomizes compassionate care.
Her staff, including the techs, is also excellent. Very knowledgeable, prompt in responding to queries. We very much appreciate that we can still do drop-off care without having to go inside, given that we are 65+ and COVID case numbers have increased more than 50% in the past week. Giving clients that option, just having the option, is wonderful. As all pet owners know, vet care is not inexpensive, but with Woodruff Road Animal Hospital and Dr. Deborah Perzak, you will get superb bang for your buck. Highly recommend.

I recently moved to South Carolina from Michigan, and picking a new vet was difficult because I loved our old vet service so much. HOWEVER, the services and care at Woodruff Road Animal Hospital is matched if not more. They are always so sweet to my crazy lover girl Phoebe (pit bull mix), have great communication with their customers via phone call, texting, or in person, and respect their patients and owners choices.
The only downfall is that this vet clinic is a little more expensive, but is worth it for the amazing staff and top tier care. In my mind, pets are family, and keeping my pet safe and happy is priceless. Additionally, they provide grooming services and pet boarding which is amazing because all of my pets care can be done in one place where I know my pet is not only cared for, but feels safe.

I've lived in Greenville for almost a decade and would highly recommend taking your Pets here over others. I took my cat here because I needed to get her Vaccinations done before taking her to get boarded and the Vet I go to isn't open on the Weekends. I also wanted a second opinion on the pain she was "experiencing" in her teeth. The first thing I liked was the option to come in and actually get to see and talk to the Vet about my cats health.
The facility was very clean and the staff were helpful. The previous place I went to told me my Cat was experiencing a lot of pain from her teeth. They advised me that if I wanted I could schedule surgery to have her teeth removed for a staggering amount of money. They said surgery wasn't necessary as far as her living but she would be in discomfort if her teeth weren't removed.
Now fast forward a few months later. I informed the nurse of the pain her teeth were causing her and naturally she passed that info along. After they administered the vaccines the Dr. came by to speak with me and my girlfriend. He was very knowledgeable and went on to tell us that she wasn't experiencing any pain at all. He opened her mouth and showed us that her teeth were fine and if there was any pain she would've tried to claw/bite at him when he gently touched them.
I couldn't believe my previous Vet was trying to tell me she needed Surgery that cost thousands of dollars when there was nothing wrong with them! I'm so happy I took my cat here! They saved my cat from surgery she didn't need and the thousands of dollars it would've cost to remove her teeth! He went on to say that he wouldn't even recommend us getting her teeth cleaned there! They are as honest and as professional as you can get. I'm grateful to have found this place and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone.

Making our initial appointment was easy, the office followed up quickly with a phone call after I sent in the initial information on line. I know that we need to be careful because of COVID, and I am in a vulnerable group (over 65, asthma), BUT we had been to three new veterinary clinics since we moved to Simpsonville 6 months ago because Bentley needed a new vet, needed a specialist to examine his eyes, and needed papers to travel to France.
None of those three practices really was interested in getting to know Bentley or us and our needs the way Woodruff was. Furthermore, first impressions are important, I was asked if I wanted to come in or if I wanted to stay outside (the only vet to do so), and asked to come in so that I could get a sense of the practice. The office was spotlessly clean (it was even being mopped!), it was quiet, we weren't rushed, and both the tech and the vet were very thorough and careful in dealing with Bentley. He's. an excellent patient, but being a dog, his hearing is sensitive, he's small, his back hurts sometimes, he doesn't see that well any. more, and he can get a bit nervous around strangers.
Your tech asked specifically how to approach him, she asked a lot of questions about him, his care, his history, & etc., and she listened carefully to the answers and followed up on them. Then the vet picked up on that information and also spent time with us. I was very impressed and very happy. You are now our regular vet -- except for the. part about not doing travel papers.
