Description

Where excellence in medicine meets coastal living.

Mission:

To support and nourish the human-animal bond and healthier communities by providing exceptional veterinary care in a pet-centric environment with a positive, knowledgeable, and compassionate team - one pet, one person, and one veterinarian at a time.

About Us:

Live Oak Veterinary Specialists (LOVS) is an independently owned veterinary specialty and emergency hospital that was founded by Dr. Jason King DACVIM (Neurology) as a neurology/neurosurgery practice in 2015. We are expanding into a purpose built 11,000 sqft facility with multi-specialty and emergency services this month. Our growth is fueled by the demand of our clients and supported by our amazing veterinary referral community to meet the need for an independently owned veterinary specialty and emergency hospital in our rapidly growing greater Savannah region.

Our hospital is built around collaboration, innovation, and balance — offering advanced medical care without the constraints of corporate oversight. At LOVS, 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.

Why Savannah?

Savannah, Georgia, blends historic charm with modern living — where cobblestone streets, coastal breezes, and vibrant arts meet a lower cost of living. Enjoy days off exploring the city’s rich history, dining under the oaks, or relaxing on nearby Tybee Island. With Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport minutes away, travel for conferences or getaways is easy.

Here, career excellence meets an exceptional quality of life.
