Agree with the nomination of Ansley Animal Clinic! LOVE Dr. Brandley, who has always ben wonderful with our older dog and was incredibly kind and compassionate with my daughter when her dog had to be put down.

Dr. Miller of Village Vets is awesome. He made me feel very comfortable that we were getting the best possible care. He put my concerns at ease with his very thorough exam. He explained what he found and what my options were helping me make the best decisions for my pet's treatment program. This did not surprise me as I got the same fantastic care at Village Vets in Decatur by Dr. Draper and his staff prior to moving to Smyrna. I would not go anywhere else.

I would have agreed with you, Rick, since I usually just take whatever vet is available at the clinic. But then by luck of the draw I got Dr. Hedge at Briarcliff Animal Clinic. I've liked all the vets there, but she's now my favorite. Very practical and reassuring. In fact I'd like to also give a thumbs-up to the nail-clipping techs there because they were always very forgiving about my mean cat!

The Village Vets are absolutely the best!! I speak with tons of experience because I have a dog who has had some serious health issues. Dr. Stacy has gone over and beyond what I had ever experienced before coming to the Village Vets. Everyone is always personable and caring. AND, having them open 24 / 7 ...omg...what a godsend!

Every vet and the staff at Decatur Village Vets is awesome. Their vet care for our rescue group, Animal Action Rescue, is the best. And all of my personal dogs and cats give a paws up to their vet, Dr. Stacy Stacy!

Village vets in Decatur :-) they get two thumbs up from me for helping me with a sick dog I found on the street two summers ago. When no one else would help they went out of their way to help.

I'll toss my vote in for Dr. Bullard's office. Though I like some of the other vets in his office more than him.

I nominate The Village Vets of Decatur for the many ways in which they have assisted me in rescuing animals, in addition to their exceptional medical care and personalized customer service. Because of them, I get to do what I love most -- improving the quality of life for the animals in my city. The Village Vets has set an unprecedented example for other animal hospitals when it comes to fostering continuous improvement in their community. They have exceeded all of my expectations.

Dr. Starnes is a good vet, but the office is overly booked. When I first moved here I went to East Atlanta and would have to wait for at least 30 minutes for my appointment and any phone call would put me on hold for at least 10 minutes. When they moved to online prescriptions, there would be lapses in medication for my dog that needed heart meds. I think they need to pay more attention to their booking and long range effects on their clients.

I recently started taking my dogs to Ormewood and love it there. Dr. Price is an amazing animal lover and makes me feel like my kids are hers. When I arrive for an appointment, that appointment is ON TIME (awesome!!!!) and when I take them in for a nail clipping it happens right away. Love the people and the customer service. Thanks Ormewood!!!!

Paws Whiskers and Claws in east Cobb. Went to several that didn't have the passion prior to these folks. These people know their stuff and put time and effort into their customers. I have two other friends who use these guys exclusively, regardless of travel time.

We agree! Not only do we love Dr. Nath, but also Dr. Jones at Peachtree Hills Animal Clinic. Their follow-up and personal communication is unlike anything I have ever experienced.

Agree! Dr. Duffy Jones is excellent. Saved our pet from a terrible episode of pancreatitis, gave us his cell phone for weekend contact as needed during a health crisis, and is in touch with us on email as needed. Personal care and attention like we've never seen before.

Clairmont Animal Hospital. Dr. Hiro, Dr. Bradley, Dr. George, they are all great. The Vet Techs and the staff are all so nice and professional. I just love when the vets come in the room and let our dogs lick all over their faces as if they were their own. I feel lucky to have found this vet practice.

The Village Vets of Decatur entire staff is amazing. I am personally partial to Dr. Brigit Villines, who works so dilligently with local rescue groups through the Decatur office. She has personally cared for my Cavalier, Lily, and has always openly taken my suggestions in courses of action for treatment. Everyone there works tirelessly to provide quality care for all animals they come in contact with on a daily basis! Wouldn't take my pet anywhere else!

Definitely Dr. Lloyd - definitely a cat whisperer. When we take our Myst in, he'll drape her around his shoulders and walk around the office for awhile, just to calm her down before he begins the exam. I've never seen ANYONE able to do that with Myst - not even us, at times. And when we lost our dear Whisper, he made a special trip in to see us. I really think he was almost as sad about it as we were.
