I took my cat Galleta here a couple months ago because his primary vet suggested a second opinion from an Ophthalmologist to examine his eye. Dr. Stacy Andrew diagnosed his condition as Entropion, we came up with a plan on how to treat his condition and was able to get surgey for my cat. The staff and Veterinarian's are absolutely amazing and helped treat Galleta's Entropion. He is able to open his eye again ＼(^_^)／

I brought my dog, Brick, to see Dr. McDougall to evaluate a fast-growing mass on his hip. Unfortunately, he has soft tissue sarcoma that would take extensive surgery, radiation and chemotherapy to treat. I cannot afford his treatment, and I am heartbroken 😭. However, I would like others to know that this is a great place with caring staff. I was very impressed by everyone from the reception desk to the doctor and assistant in the back. I highly recommend this animal hospital.

Our beloved Fidget got a TPLO done by Dr. Cross, assisted by the incredible vet tech AJ. We're in week 2 of recovery, and we are so amazed by how quickly her movement has improved! AJ and Dr. Cross provided exceptional, highly communicative care. They texted us throughout the day of her procedure and later that week to check in as we started the recovery process. We haven't had to reach out to VSGA with any follow-up questions, but we know that they're highly available and eager to address any worries that could arise. They were so sweet to our dog and to us! The pricing of the procedure was very fair for the Atlanta area, particularly given the exceptional care. While we hope to never have to get surgery again, we'd certainly return to VSGA in a heartbeat.

We brought our bestest boy Grover in for a mass that was found on his liver after his bloodwork came back showing an issue before his dental cleaning. I can’t say enough good things about the staff at VSGA. They are all very warm and genuinely kind animal lovers and it shows. I knew we were in good hands from that first phone call making the appointment for the consultation. Dr. Lori MacDougall was very thorough when going over the surgical plan for Grover in language that was easy to understand. It was very clear to us that she was exactly who we needed to be taking care of our boy during a very stressful time. Her assistant was wonderful too (I was very stressed and don’t remember her name). We received a text letting us know when Grover was going in for surgery, and she called after to let us know the details of the procedure and that he was doing well. We picked him up the next day and then waited for the biopsy results. Dr. MacDougall was kind enough to text us the results on a Sunday as well as email the pathology report. ALL CLEAR! Woohoo!

My dog, Rio, tore his cruciate ligaments in his left knee and due to the nature of his bone structure, he had to see a "Special" Specialist to undergo a CCWO procedure instead of the typical TPLO. Dr. Cross is that Special, Specialist in more ways than one. He is not only one of the best orthopedic veterinary specialists in the country, but his bedside manner is just as fantastic. My dog is not the best patient, he is terrified of being examined, which translates to fear aggression, but Dr. Cross and all of his staff were wonderful at working with him. He is 3 days post surgery and doing great! The facility is beautiful and every, single staff member we spoke to was friendly, energetic, and seemed to enjoy their job. Shout out to Jessica for remembering me and my previous dog, Bimini, from many years ago at another vet. It was a nice, happy surprise that she popped into our room to meet Rio and say hello! That is the kind of love and attention nervous pet parents need. I can't say enough good things about VSGA. I wish I could bring Rio here for his routine veterinary care! Edit: We took Rio for his 7 week check-up and X-Rays. All looked good! We are extremely happy with the results and absolutely love coming to see Dr. Cross (although, hopefully, we won't have a future need to see him!) Again, I wish we could do our routine vet care here. We would pay triple the cost just to receive the same attention and care we receive here!
