Lake Murray Animal Hospital has been a fixture of the Batesburg-Leesville/Gilbert community for over 45 years. Founded by Dr. William Howard Giddens in 1965, the veterinarian practice has continued to grow and provide service to our surrounding community. Dr. Heyward Boyette and Dr. Ginger Macaulay purchased the clinic in 2000, where it continued to operate in the original building that was first used as a service station for truckers. In 2008, a new facility located a few miles from the original building was opened, which has enabled us to improve our quality of care for our patients.
