VCA Midtown Animal Hospital

"This hospital has saved my dog Oliver’s life numerous times. In 2022 my 13 year old was admitted with pancreatitis and they nursed him to health. More recently he had swallowed a child’s toy and they performed surgery to remove the toy and repair his intestine. The care every single person at that hospital gave was truly incredible! Their techs & front office staff are wonderful people! Dr. Davis & Dr. Seidman in particular worked so closely with our family throughout the rollercoaster of our 2+ week stay. They put up with me too as the overbearing dog mom, which I greatly appreciated! I HIGHLY recommend this hospital to take care of your fur babies!!"

"I highly recommend this facility if your pet needs special attention or experiences high anxiety when going to the vet. My dog requires three different drugs in order to tolerate vet visits, and even then she is incredibly anxious, sometimes to the point of being aggressive. The folks at VCA have been incredibly patient and understanding, and do everything they can to make our visits as painless as possible. It's significantly more expensive than other vets we've seen, but it's totally worth it for us."

"I had not taken my cat to the vet since relocating to Atlanta. He was very crotchety and hated the vet, and it hadn't been a priority to find someone for him yet. Until I woke up this morning, and he was having trouble walking. He had been failing the last few months (he was a big 17 year old cat, so very old in cat years), but this morning, it was time. I called the vet, and they immediately talked me through cost and options as well as offering to allow me to come in when I was ready or to schedule an appointment. It's never fun to put an animal to sleep, but the staff at VCA Midtown were so kind to me and my poor sweet baby, treating him gently and offering me the time and information I needed. For a terrible experience, they made it as good as they could, and they were very transparent about how the process worked which made it easier."

"Amazing animal hospital! Dr. Maness & Dr. Seidman are incredible vets. Dr. Maness saved our sweet Golden Retriever's life and diagnosed her correctly after an incorrect diagnosis at a local vet to us. They both sat down on the ground with us as we comforted our dog and kindly explain care plans. We searched for a vet that was open on Sundays and are so grateful we found this location because they treated us with so much care. Crystal & Gary were so kind on the phone and in person every time we came in to visit our baby in the hospital. They were there for us on the hardest week of our lives and I'm so grateful for their kindness and work ethic."

"I've been here more times than I can count since adopting my kitty 2 years ago. Eye+Ear Infections, Breathing+Skin Issues. I've seen 5 vets. The care and follow up good, (sometim es you might need to call them, but that's true with other vets, too). Responsive to email. A few excellent front desk people (and a few newbies in training who don't always last-staffing issues like any business). I've seen a front desk person rush out to the parking lot and personally carry a huge dog in crisis to the emergency room. If you are willing to see different vets, they can usually get you in within a few days, and if you cannot wait, you can come in without an appointment but the fee is about $50 more. Other vets I've used generally don't have openings for 1.5 weeks +. Open until 10pm (!) and Sat/Sun. This is rare and appreciated, esp. for those of us whose pets always seem to get ill on the weekend. They are absolutely the most flexible option out there! Con would be that they are pricier than other vets I've seen (but given the flexibility and availability, worth it). They have a Pet Plan for $90 a month that includes free check-up/booked visits (not emergency) and yearly physical. Again, not for everyone, but great for pets with chronic issues. They will give you detailed pricing before any procedures. You can accept or not, seek a second opinion, go home and decide. It's not unusual for vets to recommend diagnostics for our pets who can't tell us what's going on exactly. I understand that medical care for a pet is just as frustrating and confusing as it is for humans, but I think VCA does a great job, especially if your pet needs frequent care. They are also always nice about my terrified-of-the-vet kitty, who is not at all nice to them. Also note, they may call you at 8pm, because their end of the day is not 5pm. I go to another vet who is a cat specialist, but it's really hard to see her in less than 2-3 weeks, so VCA is usually my go to, and I'm happy with them. I think some of these low reviews represent outliers (or frustration) rather than the standard care they provide."
