9278 TX-31 W, Athens“I have frequently found going to the vet with my dog somewhat stressful with all the dogs in the waiting room, and my dog wanting to make acquaintances by pulling on her leash, the whining, uncomfortable hard benches, concrete flooring that makes all the noise reverberate, and at times rude staff that don't acknowledge you waiting while they make unnecessary banter amongst themselves. This veterinarians office was different. I walked in with my Misha limping along side me and there was only one other furbaby parent in a small quiet waiting room. The staff was attentive and polite. The chairs were comfortable and the wait was comfortable and reasonable. My reasoning for bringing my Sharpai/boxer, 11 year old furbaby was to get a 2nd opinion from Dr. Richardson for my dog's ongoing eye irritation and paw inflammation. After a year of treatments from her previous doctor and without any appreciable progress, i was almost without hope. Getting a 2nd opinion was my last ditch effort. Dr. Richardson was kind, thoughtful in his approach, and thorough. He acquired a cytology sample that led us to a different diagnosis and we now are treating her swollen feet from a new and fact based approach. He evaluated her eye and found a small growth causing cornea irritation and has scheduled for the growth to be removed. All in all, for the first time in a year, I am hopeful that my Misha can live out her final days in comfort. Something, I had all but given up on.
Today, I feel like I found a hidden gem of Henderson county with this vet office and only regret I didn't come here sooner. If you're still reading this long review, if you like small offices that don't rush you, kind and polite staff thoughtful in their approach and treatment, thorough in their communication, look no more. Just call these guys.”

9728 State Hwy 31 W, Athens“First time there for my registered dog having gut problems. Dr. prescribed a medication to control the problems she had. A very good experience with the doctor and staff. Took my girl to Athens Hospital and was diagnosed with a small intestine being damaged. Surgery went well, and I am waiting for more post pardom results. I can't down this doctor for trying his best when a second opinion always counts elsewhere.”
“I love this place. They are helpful, friendly, very reasonably priced and really nice. They care about your pet. I also have used their boarding services and my dog is happy there.”
