So I thought I would do a review because I have looked for years to find a vet who actually CARES. I have found that vets are all about one thing- the money. I can honestly say that Emory Hospital seems to care enough to take the time and interest that it takes with my dog. I have went there once, and have called in twice and each time they have not disappointed. If my opinion changes I will be the first to update my review- but right now I am super pleased!

Until recently, our dogs had been patients there for years. Once, when Dr. Skellys wife worked there, she volunteered to stay late to see us, because our dog was sick. Now, she is no longer there, and Dr. Skelly shows much less patient interest and concern.

Kim seems to make it her personal mission to ensure we can never get in at a time convenient for us. I swear, if we said we could come in any day next year, except Nov 19th, Kim would have no problem saying, with a straight face, "Mmm, I cant get you in any day EXCEPT Nov 19th." She takes customer disservice to a whole nother level, and puts the entire practice (which is mediocre, at best) in a much worse light than it would be without her unsmiling face, and unhelpful attitude.

Add to all this, that they are one of the highest, if not THE highest clinics around, and you can see why we've found a more customer friendly, patient assisting, affordable, agreeable, and all around better clinic.

So far I have been very pleased with this hospital. Have not had to have any surgery or dental cleaning, etc. yet. Dr. Andrew Skelley and his assistants, Cris & Bridgette, are all very kind & attentive to my dogs. They spend time discussing your animal's health issues and consider your wishes. I am impressed with Bridgette's skill at drawing blood (have seen so-so to awful from other clinics). Receptionist staff are also very helpful & friendly. Have received very good care for what I have needed so far. Doctor is more on conservative side - meaning not TOO aggressive. Only downside, one of highest priced clinics I have ever been to; however, if service continues to be this good, will tolerate the prices. Higher OR lower prices does not necessarily equate to good care.
