The After Hours Veterinary Emergency Clinic, PA (AHVEC) is the longest standing emergency veterinary clinic in Greensboro. AHVEC was started by a board of local veterinarians in 1976 in an effort to provide services for their patients in need of critical care after hours. The clinic was originally located on Spring Garden Street in Greensboro and remained there until 1996 when the practice moved to a brand new state of the art facility specially designed for the needs of an emergency and critical care veterinary practice. The practice remains at that location at 5505 West Friendly Avenue in Greensboro, and it is the site of the childhood home of Dolly Madison, wife of the fourth U.S. President James Madison

What reviewers say
This emergency and specialty hospital provides 24/7 urgent care, handling critical cases, surgeries, and end-of-life services with dedicated compassion during difficult moments. The medical team often takes time to thoroughly examine patients, explain care plans, and offer comfort to anxious pets and grieving families. However, the facility experiences high patient volumes that lead to extended wait times, and communication between staff departments can occasionally falter. While many visitors appreciate the availability and supportive environment, others note that billing practices can feel opaque and costs can accumulate quickly during extended stays.
