About Us
Live Oak Veterinary Specialists is an independently owned specialty hospital that began in 2015 as a neurology and neurosurgery practice, founded by Dr. Jason King, DACVIM (Neurology). This month, we’re opening a purpose-built, 11,000 sq ft multi-specialty and emergency hospital. Our growth is driven by demand from our clients and the support of the referring veterinary community in the greater Savannah area, who have helped us meet the need for an independent multi-specialty practice offering caring, compassionate expertise to the region.
Our hospital is built around collaboration, innovation, and balance, offering advanced medical care without the constraints of corporate oversight. You’ll join a growing team of board-certified specialists and dedicated technicians who believe that excellence in medicine thrives in a positive, supportive environment.
