At River Oak Veterinary Clinic, we believe exceptional veterinary medicine starts with great people, strong relationships, and a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

Located in the thriving Five Forks community of Simpsonville, South Carolina, River Oak is a locally owned, veterinarian-led companion animal hospital founded by Dr. Brandon Adley in 2023.

Dr. Adley and Dr. Aaron Pate each bring decades of experience, along with a calm, thoughtful approach to patient care. Dr. Claire Wigington rounds out our team with strong clinical skills and a collaborative spirit.

Our doctors enjoy discussing cases, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another. Mentorship happens naturally here, and we believe even the most experienced veterinarians benefit from having trusted colleagues to collaborate with.

We're looking for more than another doctor on the schedule. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of what we're building.
