I had to make the absolutely gut wrenching decision to put my sweet almost 17 year old yorkie down a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately Dr. Tatum was not in that day but Dr. Lewis handled it. I just didn't feel any warmth or compassion from the office staff members at all. Nobody said 'sorry for your loss' or 'she was a good dog' or even looked up from their computers when the euthanasia was complete and I was leaving. I realize that people have to become desensitized to the death of pets when working in the field, however, my dog had been a patient for over 10 years at their office. That was one of the absolute hardest days of my life and nobody was even bothered enough to see a sobbing person and say 'sorry for your loss.' I will miss Dr. Tatum himself but when the time comes to find a new vet, I will be using a different practice. Bottom line: if you're looking for compassionate end of life care, please research this thoroughly as this was unfortunately not my experience with the current staff.

She's great with all of my dogs and their multiple different personalities! Loving, patient, kind, sweet with them. She answers all of my questions, reassures me if I have any concerns. I love the vet techs, front desk staff, etc. * Wanted to add- a response to a previous review about someone's dog being overweight and not liking how it was handled... 3 of my dogs are overweight and Dr. Spence has only been helpful and given me tips on how to get their weight down to their ideal weight range and IT HAS WORKED. Haven't experienced anything like what some of these reviewers have...

We did not want to put him though much more but wanted to extend his life as best we could. We got 2 wonderful extra years out of him with the help of Dr. Sosebee and the clinic. They listened to what we wanted and did not push any treatments just to make a dollar. I am very happy with the work they do and the care they put into their animals. Franklin took a turn for the worst very fast. We had no appointment or anything and they came same day to our home to put him down peacefully in his own bed. I expected to pay a fortune for that service it was less than an exam. They made the entire process very easy for us.

Found this place and from the receptionist to the Dr. to the price I couldn't be happier everyone was amazing, they were able to see her Saturday morning. Dr we met with was trying to see if there was a cheaper option to help us out but decided to go with stitches. It's nice to see someone actually trying to fix the problem without throwing a checkbook at you. Price for: visit, putting the dog under, stitches, medication, and a cone was $110. Other places wanted $100-$200 just to see the dog. Will be talking all 6 of our animals here from now on and gained our business. Wish I found this place sooner. 5 stars every time.
