That was way too expensive for me so I called around and was going to switch to a new vet for half that. Dr Gamble called me and had figured out the exact amount that the exam was going to cost ($175) and wanted to see if I wanted to stay with them since they had all his records and they know him. I decided to stay since she took the time and effort to go out of her way to call me. It lets me know that they care more about our pets than making a dollar, and that's hard to find.

The first vet, an older guy, was wonderful! He walked in, GREETED my docile dog, PET my docile dog, SPOKE KINDLYto my docile dog, got on the FLOOR with my docile dog. Today, the vet walked in, didn't GREET my docile dog, didn't PET my docile dog, didn't SPEAK to my dog. Not an ounce of attention. Vet is awful. My sweet dog then growled and snipped at the vet. The tech was equally as uncaring. I put a muzzle on my dog, they walked him to the back. Came back and said he was too aggressive to exam or take blood from. The tech stated that he was scared. Well, NO WONDER! They didn't want to spend even a few minutes to get my dog warmed up to them. Just throw the damn muzzle on him. These people don't care about your dog, they just want you in and out, like a herd of cattle. They wanted me to BUY meds and bring him back drugged at a later date. Rather than THEY take a few minutes to make my dog feel secure, they wanted ME to sedate my dog and bring back. That first vet had my dog loving him! I take my dog to my brewery, around dozens of people. He's NEVER been aggressive with anyone. These people can't relate to dogs and shouldn't be in the biz. $50 wasted on THEIR unprofessionalism. Never again. THIS IS THE HONEST TO GOD TRUTH. THEIR RESPONSE STATING ANYTHING DIFFERENT IS BS.

My niece just graduated from N C. State where she rode for the equestrian team. I graduated from UNC Asheville. I brought my pup to get her shots and to be fixed. I had rescued the puppy from a horribly abusive situation. I also looked like I needed rescuing. Three months prior to that I was in involved in a catastrophic head on collision that left my shoulder blade shattered, twenty ribs and my breast bone broken, my right hip was broken, my knee was mush and had to be totally replaced. The same leg was compound fractured. My ankle, the top of my foot and my toes were broken into a million peices. I looked like I had gone through the windshield of a couple of cars and to be honest my attitude reflected it. They took excellent care of my pup and received their money. What happened next was outrageous. Accusations of a puppy mill, a dog fighting rink, and just general abuse of an animal. No one believed me about the origin of the pup and nobody had the guts to accuse me straight out. Inuindoes and back biting was the order of the day. The experience was truly unbelievable, profoundly disapointing, and was indicative of a group of people that thought way to much of themselves. It was beyond hurtful. In fairness I was supposed to meet her in private and discuss this but she certainly didn't afford me the same courtesy. All in all it is a good vet practice but also quite a bit holy than thou. P.S. Just about the time I was getting my pup tended to my Father and our farm (Seven Meadows Farm) in Brasstown were being inducted into Western North Carolina Farming Hall Of Fame for sustainable farming. I wish things had gone differently to say the least.

I had an issue with a horse last year , hoof issue. He again responded quickly and provided me with medication and treatment needed daily twice a day. Now we have sold all our horses. We are full time residents in Young Harris now and we will use him for our 3 dogs, German Shepherd, A Chowski, Husky-Chow mix and our older Terrier . He's efficient, knowledgeable and just a all around great vet.

My husband heard through where he works, several people recommend AVS. My Golden had a small lump on his head and I wanted a 2nd opinion as my previous vet wanted to surgically remove it. Doc B took one look at it, asked what I was feeding my dog, told me to change to another and healthier brand of kibble, and it would likely go away in a few days. IT DID. She saved my dog the pain of surgery not to mention my pocketbook! She also found a low grade heart murmur that the other vet missed. Told me about a supplement for the heart I can get on amazon and it has lowered his murmur! The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful as well. Love Dr. B!
