How Seven Oaks Animal Hospital Began?
Greystone Veterinary Associates was incorporated in 1979 and was originally located on Greystone Boulevard. The Seven Oaks name was chosen when the facility was moved, to create an easily recognizable identity for the hospital which was constructed in The Seven Oaks Community on Saint Andrews Road. Since that move in 1981, the surrounding area has changed from an area with just a few retail locations and eateries to a crowded magnet for retail businesses, drawing patrons from all over the state.
After completing a preceptorship at Seminole Animal Hospital in Seminole, Florida, in 1970, Dr. John B. Marlow, Jr. and his family moved to South Carolina. After six and one-half years in a partnership with another veterinarian, Greystone Veterinary Associates was founded and Seven Oaks became a practice where other veterinarians could refer their difficult cases. It also became a respected training ground for some of the most oustanding veterinarians and ancillary personnel in South Carolina.
