They love my kitties and have been able to make a very anxious Russian Blue comfortable. That’s no easy feat!

My family has used all of the veterinarians at Dogwood Veterinary Hospital for over 12 years now. They have cared for numerous pets and rescues that we have taken in during this time. We rely on their expertise, trust their judgement, and appreciate the compassion that they have for our animals and for us. They are wonderful. I would recommend them to everyone.

Drs. Johnson and Morris, and their staff, have taken care of my Schnauzers (and me) for more than 14 years. Their concern and commitment to the care of their patients and owners is unsurpassed. Don't know what we would do without you. Thank you!!!!

I found Dogwood under emergency circumstances: my 16-year-old daughter's beloved guinea pig had injured his leg & he was not walking on it. He was acting lethargic, she was out of town & I was in a panic looking for a vet that treated exotics/small animals at 9 p.m. You guys just don't understand how important this little guy is to my daughter - this was serious.



Dogwood, being local, was literally the first call I made and left a message for. After 15 minutes & 9 other phone calls (all of them more horrid than the last, no one treats small animals, techs were rude with a "its just a guinea pig" attitude, one was quick to say "It's going to cost a lot of money for a guinea pig" - grrrrrrrr) Leslie from Dogwood called back. By this time I was nearly in tears. Leslie was BEAUTIFUL. I think I even began the conversation by saying I know he's just a little guinea pig, but he means the world to my daughter who takes amazing care of him, he's always on her Twitter & Facebook & that he's the world's most spoiled piggy... to which Leslie responded "I understand - even those little guys can steal our hearts." She asked me tons of questions to get an idea of how Weasley was doing, called Dr. Johnson, then called me back to give me detailed instructions of what to do for that night and booked an 8 a.m. appointment for Wease.



Leslie wasn't in the following day, but the staff were INCREDIBLE. She'd let the rest of the staff know to expect us. Mary at the front desk made me feel welcome, Dr. Johnson & Hannah were understanding about my concern for this little guy, & went into detail on procedures & pricing before doing anything. I chose to go aggressive because Weasley is that important to our family (& fortunately I'd put a little away in savings). They were gentle with him & gave me all of the options before doing anything.



Weasley is doing just fine now, & is back to his old energetic self. I owe Leslie, Dr. Johnson, and Hannah a debt of gratitude for taking care of both he & I that night & the following day. Dr. Johnson treats small animals and exotics (one of the few in the state) & the staff appear to respect their work along with their patients. Thank you guys SO MUCH, I tell EVERYONE how wonderful y'all are!

When it comes to professionalism and you want the best, they are the best. Whether it is the beginning of your pet's life or the end, they are compassionate and caring. They give you several game plans and never have they not given us the money run around on anything. I salute them for all their hard work during the downturn of the economy and their staff for keeping the quality of the Clinic top notch.

Watch out esp if your pet has to stay for the day or be dropped off. They may give you a estimate but they do alot of additional treatment without your consent. And if you drop your pet off for a procedure, good luck ever even seeing the doctor when you pick up your pet. Terrible..only seem in it for your money, not your pet!!

I love this place. In 2001 when we had the January ice storm my 14 year old chinese crested was very ill. At the time I was using another vet clinic. They closed their doors 2 days before the actually storm and would not see my Becky. On the day of the storm I was so desperate for her to see a doctor I just started calling vet offices and Dogwood was the only one that answered. They were their to cancel the days appointments but told me they would wait and bring her in. They didn't know me but they had enough compassion to see us. I did go back to my regular vet at the time but was treated very poorly and switched to Dogwood. The best choice I could have made for my 4 legged children. The Front End staff is very helpful and friendly and remembered us from the beginning. The vet techs are very knowlegable and gentle and caring. And we love Dr. Johnson. Besides being a wonderful vet you can tell she genuinely cares about the people and pets that come in to see her. That speaks volumes to me. So Thank You Dogwood!! I will always recommend you.

I've heard good things about this Vet. If you are interested in a Pet Portrait please email me for details: [email protected]. I a local Newnan Artist and the Pet Portraits are 8x10 Charcoals.

When we moved to Newnan from Orlando, FL in 2005, one of our primary concerns was finding a Vet for our 8 year old Black Lab, Ebony. It was very important to my husband and I that our dog be treated as the family member that she was. We were directed to Dogwood Veterinary Hospital by several of our new neighbors. We have been with them and, specifically, Dr. Johnson, ever since. During that time, we, sadly, lost our Ebony to an illness in 2008, but gained a new girl, Misty, in 2009. Dr. Johnson has been with us every step of the way. Her medical care is state of the art. Her love of animals and concern for their families is without question. She wept with us when we lost our Eb and rejoiced with us when we first came in with our Misty. She and her staff have always been very accommodating to us. The staff there is friendly, knowledgeable, and caring and their 24 hour Emergency Service is the best I have ever seen. I would not hesitate to recommend the Dogwood Veterinary Hospital to any caring and responsible pet owner.

My wife and I want to thank the doctors at Dogwood for the wonderful care and concern they had for our dog Dale. From the day we adopted her until her untimely death they have provided excellent care and support. We especially thank you for helping us through the end of her illness.



We appreciate everything you and your kind staff do. While we miss our beloved Dale, we were proud to have her as member of our family.



Thank you again for your help and kindness!

When I relocated to Coweta County in July 1999, it was very important to me to find an AAHA accredited vet clinic for my then 6 year old doxie. I found that in Dogwood Veterinary Hospital and Laser Center. Through all the wellness visits and emergency visits, the staff and doctors at Dogwood have been very understanding, professional and always available to see me in my emergencies. When my doxie was diagnosed first with congestive heart failure and later renal failure, the staff and doctors were so patient with my many questions. My youngest doxie has IVDD and had to have emergency surgery at Auburn. When she was improved enough, Dogwood agreed that I could bring her back to Dogwood for continued recuperation. She was then local and I could visit her each day. I believe it accelerated her recovery and I know it helped my anxiety. Then that dreaded day came when I was faced with giving my oldest the ultimate gift, that of letting her go and cross that Rainbow Bridge. I couldn’t have asked for any better support, caring, sympathy and kindness than I received from the doctors and staff at Dogwood. They were the greatest!!! If you are looking for a clinic for your companion animal that is professional and truly cares about your critter and you, then I would highly recommend Dogwood!!

My cat got hurt bad and my regular vet was closing for lunch and said my cat didn't look that bad and to come back after lunch. My cat was bleeding! My friend that was with me uses Dogwood so that's where we went next. They got me right in, didn't care that it was lunch. Sasha got helped right away, but she didn't make it. I'm switching over all of my pets to Dogwood. At least they cared enough to see her.

This is not your typical 'vaccination only' hospital. The doctors here really believe in practicing 'good medicine'. You aren't just a number or a dollar sign at this vet. They not only believe in treating your pet for any problems but they also believe in 'preventive medicine'. Looking out for your pets future. Along with having skin issues - my 7 year old lab was showing early signs of arthritis. I only brought 'Lucky' in because he was itchy. Along with addressing Lucky's skin issues Dr. Johnson talked about signs of arthritis and what to look out for. One very easy thing I did for Lucky was put him on a glucosamine supplement, Dasuquin, (just like humans do) to help protect his joints and slow the damage that may be occuring. It's nice that a doctor takes the time to see beyond the original issue that brought you in and talks to you in depth about what else may be going on with your dog. You wouldn't find that in human medicine, that's for sure. If your pet is like a child to you - which mine is - You want the best!! It's at Dogwood Veterinary Hospital and Laser Center.

I see from reading the 2 and ONLY other reviews of this clinic that they are replying on how they received "EMERGENCY CARE" and that obviously their pet turned out okay, that TOO would make me want to give ANY Vet 5 stars if they saved my pets life. BUT my experience as a regular consumer with this Vet did not prove to be so "Great"



I took my puppy in for kennel cough, he had acquired it on the flight to me from the breeder in Colorado, I was given medicine and I must say that the kennel cough did go away with no problems at all, but I HAD intended on using this vet as my PRIMARY vet based mainly on the fact of their certification and the fact they were only a couple miles away from where I lived. BUT during my visit with the vet, she asked me if I was going to Neuter my puppy. (HE WAS ONLY 12 weeks old) and I said I was unsure, because I thought i might want to show him, then all of a sudden she said he might have this and that, things that a couple weeks later after another vet visit in Peachtree City I was told my puppy had no imperfections at all medically. NO ONE can say for sure until about at 1 yr whether a dog is going to turn out to be a show dog or not, and I am not displeased because that is not what they told me. What they did say to me made me feel they were PUSHING for me to Neuter. I also found the Doctor herself to not have such a great attitude. I didn't get a good feeling when meeting her with my puppy. Her assistant however was WONDERFUL, but her assistant is not going to be the one treating my dog. I am now VERY PLEASED with The Animal Medical Center in Peachtree City, GA where Dr. Rip is wonderful to my puppy and gives me confidence in him as a veterinarian.
