This was my first visit to Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic with my senior dog, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The ladies at the front desk were friendly, welcoming, and very kind. Dr. John was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to discuss my senior dog's needs with me. He provided valuable information and made sure all of my questions were answered. His assistant was also incredibly sweet and patient, especially since my little dog was very nervous during the visit. I also visited their boarding facility, and the staff there were just as kind and caring. Everyone I encountered made me feel welcome and treated both me and my dog with compassion. It was a very positive first experience, and I would highly recommend Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic to anyone looking for a veterinarian. The entire team is kind, professional, and truly makes you feel like part of the family. read more

Dr. John Busbin, I want to thank you for the compassion you show for Keno, my sister's furbaby and my sister. read more

Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Griffin, Georgia

I would give 0 starts if this was an option. Taking our sick dog into the practice and told that if he does not get better in a few days to bring him back was a POINTLESS statement. Your employee, Liz, was uncaring and completely rude when we called to see if we could make an appointment or come in to have him rechecked because in 2 days he was getting worse. She was only worried about "messing up the doctors schedule" by having us come in without an appointment! She stated to take him to a vet hospital if we could not wait a week to be seen with an appointment! For a sick animal it is unacceptable to be told by our vet of 20 years, "no we are not going to see him, go to an emergency hospital for treatment" during their business hours! I will NEVER be stepping foot into this building with my healthy or sick animals again. This practice only wants to complete routine vaccinations and normal surgeries. We will pray for you employee Liz that her heart is soften for the next pet in need of help. read more

great practice! I had my dogs teeth cleaned and the staff was amazing. I also use the practice for routine care and have not had any problems. read more

I am on a business trip and my father came to my home from out of town to stay with my dogs. My 12yr old, 8lb Yorkie was bitten by a juvenile copperhead yesterday and my father drove her to Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic because she has been seen there in the past and it was the closest vet. Upon entering the empty lobby he was greeted and asked for the pets name. He gave them her information, told them she'd been bitten by a juvenile copperhead. They pulled her file and he was told they would not treat her because he did not have an appointment. He drove her to another vet a half hour away who did treat her...she died at 3am this morning! SHAME ON MEMORIAL DRIVE VETERINARY CLINIC!! You need to remove the line on your website that says "We believe in treating every pet with compassionate care". Your refusal to treat my animal cost her critical moments and delayed treatment. PS: Your response to my Google review is a mere attempt at damage control; the bottom line is that you refused to treat my dog that you've seen in the past, when my father walked into an empty waiting room with a copperhead snake bite! read more

Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic - Lucky at sleep - Veterinarians Near Me - Griffin, Georgia

This vet REFUSED SEVICE to an 8 lb Yorkie bitten TWICE by a Copperhead this week because they "didn't have an appointment". She passed away after SUFFERING for 12 hours because she lost care in that critical first hour. They went to this vet instead of their current vet because it was so much closer and time was of the essence. Vet momma was a previous client of this clinic so they knew who sweet Bella the Yorkie was. My wife is a vet tech and will tell you that Vets, like human doctors, take a Hippocratic oath. They clearly DO NOT CARE about the animal and that is abundantly clear. My friend, Bella's momma is DEVASTED. Bella was 12 years old and their blatant disregard for her baby's life. She was her baby. And now she is gone. read more

Very seldom have I ever written a poor review for anything, but due to our most recent bad experience with Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic and Kennel, I felt it necessary to do so. As a businessman, reviews often help me in my corporate travels, purchases, as well as in my personal life and family decisions. When the owners of our long time Kennel retired and moved to Savannah, Georgia, we began to search for a new Kennel for our boxer, Capt. Jack. Boy, we were going to miss our kennel and friends there. We asked neighbors and friends. We read reviews, etc., and we decided to bring Capt. Jack to Memorial Drive. We were pleased with the initial welcome and visits. As a businessman who travels, I was glad to know that the clinic also had a kennel side to it. Initially, we were pleased. We left Jack several times, and each time we were told how much of a treat Capt. Jack was with everyone including the other dogs. We were told he was a great dog and that they had no troubles with him. We were always told, "See you guys next time!" This leads us to this past New Years Eve weekend. With confidence, we booked and left Capt Jack for the weekend as we traveled to St. Augustine, Fl for a long weekend celebration. We had an amazing time. When we got home and picked up Jack, we were told by the staff that Jack did not do well on this visit, that he snapped at the staff, that they were heavily booked for the weekend with many dogs, etc. The staff stated that they had experienced some bad storms during the weekend, that a water pipe in the ceiling burst, and that it caused the ceiling to collapse in the veterinarian office. They stated it was a pretty traumatic event for dogs and staff alike.We were also told that Jack was a completely different dog once we were there. Needless to say, we were shocked at the news. Capt. Jack (if you know anything about classic boxers) is a great family dog, playful, loving, and his former kennel described him as "Mr. Social Butterfly" among the other dogs and staff. He had never responded bad to anyone or any other dog. I do know that dogs will communicate when treated well or poorly. When we got home, we noticed Jack was very sick. Not just sick, but throwing up solid dog feces for two and a half hours. It was his own feces from his kennel stay. Boxers are very smart and clean dogs and he was basically left in his kennel where he ate his own feces in order to clean his area up. We're sure his experience those days were pretty traumatic. It was a perfect storm for Jack and I'm sure other dogs, pets, etc. With an upcoming business trip, we didn't want to think poorly about Memorial Drive, and giving them the benefit of the doubt, we decided to drop by the clinic with Jack to book another stay. Upon arriving with Jack, one of the girls who works at the kennel came out from around the back, sat down on the floor in front of Jack, and preceded to love and pet Jack. Of course Jack was doing what boxers do. He was giving her kisses and being his typical boxer wiggle butt. After this fine welcome, we were told that Jack has been marked as a 'caution dog' and that they wouldn't allow him to stay at the kennel any more. Once again, we were shocked again, this friendly loving dog, greeted by one of their staff members sitting on the floor with him loving and kissing her was marked as a 'caution dog' and not allowed to stay there any longer. Our initial thoughts were ... why would a staff member go and sit, on the floor, in front of a 'caution dog'. This was a huge contradiction, but spoke volumes of the inconsistency of care from the clinic and kennel. With all this being said, in good conscience, we can not, and will not recommend Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic and kennel. Interesting enough, read some of the other reviews. In the mix of good reviews are similar bad stories that we overlooked attempting to think the best of these folks. It's nothing personal. We liked many of the staff, but the bottom line, it's about our pet and family member, Capt. Jack. I mark this business as 'A Caution'. read more

Great professionals I would not take my babies Keebler Canup anywhere else been coming here 10 + years thank yall

I am updating this review because my constant and well loved companion dog appears to be much worse. Please read my review from Saturday. I am waiting for our new vet's office to open in six hours. Dogs, cats, and other beloved pets deserve the best we can do for them. I cannot understand why a person in another part of the clinic could prevent my husband and me from talking to the front office and obtaining the information we needed. My first attempt for help was at just after 8:30. I could have brought him in even if I had to wait for an extended period of time. We pay the entire bill each time, we are grateful for the help from the vets and the vet techs, and ONE person who appears to want to have power that she shouldn't have prevented us from obtaining help. If this doesn't change, I would suggest you consider your options although the vets, techs, and front office are wonderful. However, one person can damage a business. read more

We tried Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic for July 4th holiday weekend which was a horrible mistake! We normally use another place for boarding which was booked. The lady mentioned the clinic was closed on Monday, July 4th. I didn't think much of it until I picked up my fur babies on Tuesday, July 5th. They were sick, pottying non-stop they had not being out of the crates in days, throwing up, and had bites on their back. We paid nearly $350 for this horrible service! If you don't care about your animals take them here! We will never use again! read more

Your visit is dependent upon the Dr in the office. Sadly, a couple seem as if they are just doing a job and you wonder if they even like animals. Gone are the days of the old school vet. They are no better nor worse than others. We use them for the convenience of the location. read more

Lack of customer focus and not really seeing any improvement has been declining for a while. My wife and I have been using thus vet for 13 years..time to look elsewhere, I advise you do your homework..they use to be the best ..don't feel like they really give a care but for the dollars read more

We were traveling through town and our 15 year old Labrador's cancer had come back with a vengeance. it was time to let her go and Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic was the closest vet around. We went on a Friday afternoon. Even though we had never done business with them before, they did not require us to have an appointment. They handled everything with grace and compassion and gave my family and I as much time as we needed with our pet. I appreciate the the staff and am thankful for their compassion during this extremely difficult moment for our family. read more

This is a terrible place of business that nearly costed my animal it's life. Prescribed my animal acepromazine, and while having a consultation during the process of getting the medication they told me there are no side effects I should be aware of. My animal later that night collapsed with shortness of breath and lose of blather control. I later find out that the prescription prescribed is said to be DEADLY to the specific breed of my animal. The careless act on their behalf nearly costed my animal it's life. This a extremely unprofessional business who simply does not take the time to do their job. read more

In have two fur babies that I take to them. Their vets treat my dogs like their own. They offer Saturday hours and their rates are very reasonable. My smaller dog I have also boarded with them. I have always been treated well and the ladies behind the counter love on Buster and Ollie to the point where I think my dogs actually like to go to the vet read more

Dr. Busbin and his team are the best. They have cared for mine and my family's dogs for several years. He helped to diagnose and prolong the life of my dog Sky. Sky in 2008 was diagnosed and was placed on a treatment for Polycythemia by Dr. Busbin. This was after months of her having seizures and fainting spells that couldn't be figured out. Once she started treatment she improved and the seizures/fainting spells stopped. Earlier in 2015 she had a growth on her foot resulting in her at the age of 15 going through surgery to have her toe amputated. She came through with flying colors. On November 27th, 2015, Helped me with my toughest decision in the 16 years of her life to finally say goodbye to her. She was loved by everyone she met. He is the best vet I have ever used and Strongly suggest you use him. Sky will be greatly missed by me and my family. I know losing this dog hit him hard too. Thank you Dr. Busbin for all your work. Sky owed many years added to her life due to you. Sky Wright 11/1999 - 11/2015 read more

Fantastic staff and Doctors. Dr. Busman really seems to care about the animals, and listens to pet owners. I have been to other veterinary clinics where they just diagnosed and sent me out the door. It is different here. They pay attention to each patient and are great at explaining how to care for / follow up with injuries and illness. read more

First I have to say they deserve a minus star but it wouldn't let me post without at least 1 star, I have always liked the groomer and the male Doctors at Memorial Vet, I had taken my dog there and was Quoted by the female Vet $524.00 to $612.00 Upon looking at the estimate I elected not to have it sent off so this reduced the cost by $150.00 so I leave thinking I will owe approx $375.00 so we decided to get the mastectomy surgery yesterday and I received a call stating that she had repaired a massive hernia in addition and spent 2 hours repairing it as well so she was giving me a deal at an additional $175.00 and stated she still came within the quoted price ! my husband called her to tell her we run the dog daily never any sign or symptoms of an inguinal hernia. After waiting to discuss this with the Dr who said she would come to talk to me but never did, after waiting 30 Min I paid the bill and they took us back to where our dog was being held, She stood up and was laying in so much water that she kept shaking it all over us I asked both techs why she was wet both shrugged their shoulders and said they didn't know as we are walking to the door I notice water puddles all over the floor, I went back in and told them we needed a towel as we drove home I called the office and asked if they hosed the room down because my dog was soaked and laying in a puddle of water but the majority of the concrete around my dog was dry other than puddles throughout the room the lady said she could have urinated to which I told her I checked and it was water, now I'm thinking she had to have been laying in the water a good while and that it was unable to dry underneath her because she was laying on it I explained that I put a clean white towel on the floor and assured her it was water to which she said well they have to get their work done before 6 I told her that there work was more important and getting out on time then letting my dog lay in water she had to have been in long enough for the majority of the water to have evaporated around her and the post op instructions said not to get wet for 10 days. they have the last of my money and trust all because of careless people who take no pride in what they do unfortunately the few good vets that work at Memorial Vet loose as well I will do my best to warn others of the careless actions and the lack of care for the health and well being of the pets that are entrusted to their care BEWARE read more

We recently visited this vet clinic for my puppy's first vaccines. I've never had a dog before therefor had tons of questions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They seemed caring and not bothered at all with my many questions. The price for the service received was very affordable. I will definitely visit them in the near future and recommend them to anyone seeking good quality service. read more

Awesome facility! Great care & customer service!! Unfortunately, our family dog of 11 years sick, and we decided to put him to sleep. The staff, especially Dr. John Busbin offered excellent care- top of the line bedside manner. They made this difficult experience go smoothly. read more

I took my cat Toki here for the first time yesterday. He hadn't been eating or drinking for a few days, had infectious blood tinted drool and was in obvious pain. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly faces and he was seen immediately with no appointments made. He also hates the vet and was hiding and growling but they didn't shy away from the challenge. By this point I knew I had taken him to the right place. Turns out he had to be sedated and have a couple teeth removed. I was expecting to have my soul removed as payment but it was actually a very reasonable bill. When I picked him up they made sure to take time and talk to me and answer any questions I had, which was quit a lot. Now, the day after, my Toki is back to his old self. He's not being a jerk face, quit the opposite. He's eating and drinking a lot better and he's even playing now. This vet is officially going to be my family vet. Thank you for taking care of my furbaby! read more
