Athens Regional Veterinary Services

Dr Smith came out to our place and vaccinated and dewormed our 4 goats. He did not hesitate to answer all our questions and gave us helpful info about breeding!!

Dr Vincent Smith has always taken excellent care of our animals, I would say over and beyond. Vincent is a very caring and knowledgeable veterinarian. Our family would not choose any one other than Athens Regional Vet Services.

Staff very nice. No problem getting appointments. Place is clean and pet friendly!!!!

Wish I could give a lesser rating. Tried to set up an appointment over the phone and was put on hold for over 15 minutes - I had to hang up and call back because I was forgotten about. Upon entering, you’ll soon realize there’s not a single friendly face in the entire building apart from the cognitively declining elderly front desk woman who is singularly tasked with answering calls, checking in patients, taking them to rooms as well as getting weight/temp etc. Yet is somehow still noticeably distracted by other conversations being had in the waiting room, to the point you need to repeat yourself several times throughout the process. Needless to say that even with an appointment, you and your pet will be waiting nearly an hour before you’re in a room, one with such thin walls and doors that everyone in the adjacent lobby can hear every word being said. You’ll be stared at by other employees who won’t even smile back at you because clearly this place is miserable. If the lack of a paved entrance didn’t make it obvious, this place cuts corners in every conceivable fashion and to put the cherry on top, they don’t even pretend to care about your animals. I’ve had several cats get bloodwork done before and I have never, ever seen so much fur unnecessarily shaven off in order to get a sample - if my testament to this isn’t enough, feel free to read other reviews where people have complained about the exact same thing. These people make it so clear that they do not care about the well-being of your pet even in the slightest. The vet I saw was apathetic, impolite, unprofessional, completely inconsiderate, and not in control of her emotions in the slightest. My experience was so poor in so many ways that I refused to let them continue and chose to seek out another vet immediately, because I had absolutely zero faith in their abilities to treat my pet with dignity. If you love your pet, look elsewhere for a place that actually makes an attempt and doesn’t blatantly disrespect you and your babies. Their prices were cheap but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Have been going here for years, for everything from check ups and vaccines to surgeries. Dr. Vince is amazing, as is every other doctor and staff member we’ve met. Definitely the ones to trust with your animals
