I second the Village Vets. Dr. Draper and staff have taken care of my dog for almost 9 years, and treat her as if she was one of their own. They go above and beyond with regard to her care (she has anxiety issues), and I appreciate that I can contact them via email if I have questions.

Dr. Tyler (Lilburn) saw our Nutmeg immediately after we rescued her from the street 10 years ago, and Dr. Draper (Decatur) was kindly when we first rescued Peanut likewise four years ago. Dr. Prather (Lilburn) has handled all three of ours (Cheyenne included) through several crises in the last year or so. The entire staff is always attentive, friendly and understanding - and maintain a regular open line of communication. Could not ask for a better crew all the way around !!

I disagree. Village Vets lost my dog on the operating table, and we were misinformed / not informed of the seriousness of his situation until it was too late. I didn't even get to say goodbye. They don't have my vote.

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!

I whole-heartedly agree with nomination of Dr. Kim Roberts, DVM. She has not only taken care of our 5 four-legged children for the past 10+ years. She has seen us through two losses with unfailing compassion and comfort. Additionally, I chaired a pet-related fundraising event for the American Cancer Society and Dr. Roberts served as the veterinarian for the event. She did so as a volunteer and received no compensation for the Saturday event despite the fact that her practice was open that day. She's a gem!!

Dr. Woody has saved a number of our pets' lives. He has gone above and beyond to help on a number of occasions. He has a thoughtful and gentle way about him and has such a wise philosophy about cat's personalities that is so dead on we often find ourselves quoting him at home. The staff at the Ansley Clinic is equally as wonderful.

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.

Dr. Nath at Peachtree Hill Animal Hospital! I've never known a vet to follow up on the well-being of my pet and stay in constant communication via email about home treatment. She's pretty great. Even my grouchy cat likes her.

Dr. Adam Calcutt at The Village Vets in Decatur! After my pug ate wild mushrooms and suffered several (terrifying) seizures, Dr. Calcutt kept us both calm and kept her from going into liver failure. He called/emailed to keep me posted and check in on her post-visit and was always mindful of costs. Despite her ordeal, she LOVES going to The Village Vets, and I'd have to agree!

The Village Vets in Decatur has quality medical care and incredible vets. Over the years my pets have been seen by Dr. Stacy the majority of the time and she is phenomenal - very very thorough. She literally saved my dog's life. Dr. Miller is also wonderful!

Terri Burns

The Village Vets in Lilburn absolutely ROCKS! Everyone is fantastic from doctors to staff. Their prices are reasonable and devotion / love for animals is their first priority. Recently I told them that I wished PEOPLE got such great healthcare! Seriously, you should try this practice at any of their locations around town. Their website is thevillagevets.com.

Good point Rick. I would think any vet that did not diagnose your tabby with a rare form of feline whooping cough that costs 6-7K to cure and forces you to fly her first class to Baltimore for treatment would be a good vet.

Clicker, is there really such thing as a rare form of whooping cough in tabbies, or were you just being facetious? Funny (or maybe not), because I'm about to bring the Lynx point (Tabby Point) Siamese cat we rescued to the vet for his checkup after being neutered at Lifeline Animal Clinic & he has this strange intermittent coughing thing going on!

Virginia

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!

Dr. David Lloyd at North Dekalb Veterinary Hospital on Lawrenceville Hwy in Decatur.. He is definitely the "cat whisperer" in the Atlanta area. He absolutely adores felines and is excellent with diagnoses and treatment of cats. That is a rarity in the Atlanta area!

Susan Litton

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.

Dr Melissa Braver at Cobb Emergency Veterinary Center. Working with animals in crisis is a special skill. It requires the patience and dedication that all animals are treated with respect and love. I strong suggest that she be given the title "Favorite Veterinarian" because of her interest in extending quaity care to animals.

I second the vote for Duffy Jones. He is special and has assembled a great staff to help with all the bumps and scrapes and "what do I do know" questions. Dr. Jones spent a lot of time getting to know our pups on their first visit and listened to our concerns and aspirations for them. And what could be better than a visit to Santa Jones in time for Christmas! Great guy, wonderful staff, all you need is a dog.

Brigitte Jacobs

7:06 pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012

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.

The Village Vet is my all time #1 favorite vet. They are so caring and friendly! I have had several sick pets in the last year and the service and professionalism is amazing. i was referred to Dr. Amy Matthews by my former employer–who was also a Vet. Go by for a visit and see for yourself.

Powers Ferry Animal Hospital is our favorite. We've been going there with our dogs for the past 17 years. Every doctor is knowledgable and compassionate about animals. This practice is owned by Dr. Andy Smith and each of his associates are caring and understanding. We've had to put two dogs down since we've lived here and they have been so understanding through this sad process. They seem to know what you are going through. Kuddos to Dr. Scott Miller and Dr. Meg Wright for being with us on this last go around of losing a beloved pet. Did I mention they not only have a great receptionist staff of ladies but also wonderful technicians helping "in the back" too. I highly recommend them.

Dr Ellington and all the vets at Dearborn Animal Hosptal (we miss you Dr Jackson). I've met a more dedicated group of people, not only with their paying customers but also with all the hurt and sick strays who have no one to help them. It's nice to have people for whom money is not the first priority caring for my pets.

Dr. Gary Bullard, Austell Animal Hospital. Dr. Bullard was involved with the first K9 Austell purchased. He provided the health care and food. Then as Austell PD added more K9's he never waivered the health care and food was provided for each K9. Wonderful vet and man he gets involved with his city, too.

Dr. Ellington at Dearborn truly loves animals, is dedicated and pet health is more important than "paid in full". They will treat your pet and permit a payment plan if you are unable to pay the entire amount. They give a discount for the first visit of "rescues" and want to help all of the animals that they can. Great group!

I respect the Veterinarians at Village Vets both in Decatur and Buckhead. Dr Landrum from the Decatur office saved the life of REED a Jack Russell Terrier, Reed was rescued from a north Georgia Shelter only days before meeting Dr Landrum. Reed was on the verge of organ failure from not getting oxygenated blood to his organs. Dr Landrum make a quick and accurate diagnosis about Reeds condition in the wee hours of the morning, Dr Landrum had the skill, knowledge, courage and confidence, do go through Reeds jugular to pull from REED, the worms blocking the flow to his small body, saving his life. Dr Landrum, is a remarkable veterinarian.
REED is thriving today, getting ready to start the next phase of his heart worm treatment. Reed says, thanks Dr Landrum!!
Many Blessing to the talent here at the Village Vets.

I applaud the Lifeline Animal Project and Clinic for all the work they do to offer low-cost spay/neuters & vaccinations, their incredible adoption network to save animals from being euthanized, as well as all of the advocacy efforts to increase awareness regarding the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) method to keep feral populations from exploding.

The favorite vet question was posed on the Brookhaven Patch so I assume that most of the responses are from those that live in Brookhaven, correct? Most of the responses are from vets far outside of Brookhaven. Do people really venture to Decatur (not too bad), Smyrna and Johns Creek for veterinary care? That seems like quite a commute.

Hi, Rick. This is a contest for the entire metro area. We want to find the best vet in the region, so this story is posted across many Patch sites. That's why there are nominations in Decatur, Johns Creek, Smyrna and Brookhaven.

Rick,
A lot of Vets have a specialty that pet owners will travel any distance for and that is how we wind up changing Vets. After going To Dr.Woody's at Ansley with nothing but good things to say about it I now drive all the way from midtown to Sandy Springs (Centre Court Clinic) because I added a French Bulldog to my brood.

btw, you're right that the Cat Doctor is expensive but a few years back when I had a cat with cancer, they seemed worth every penny!

Dr. Steven Winokur and Dr. Sherry Almand at Pharr Road Animal Hospital.

My vote is for Dr Linda Ellington and the other wonderful vets at Dearborn Aminmal Hospital. I have been to other vets where you have to sign a payment agreement before they even look at your pet. Dearborn is a place where you know the welfare of your pet is first, not expensive facilities and big profits.

I am definitely voting for Dr. Miller. He was fantastic. He took great care of my dog Charlie and I would never think about seeing anyone else. He had a great personality and was very kind and thorough. I feel comforted knowing that Charlie is in great hands! - Annabelle Shiver

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.

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 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.

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.

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!
