About
Welcome to Lake Marion Animal Hospital
Our story began when Brad and Becca, a husband-and-wife team, decided to return to Clarendon County, where Brad grew up, to meet the community’s growing need for quality veterinary care. After getting married in February 2019, they opened the doors to LMAH just a few months later. Since then, the practice has continued to grow, adding endoscopy services in 2022, joining the Chamber of Commerce in 2024, and expanding into orthopedics in 2025. Their dedication to excellence has been recognized year after year, earning LMAH the title of Best Veterinary Clinic in Clarendon County.
