Southern Veterinary Partners

This, I'll be kind, conglomerate has bought out nearly every vet in the Suwanee - Buford Georgia area and absolutely gutted them. They've all halved their services, tripled their prices, brought in complete imbeciles to run them and destroyed vets that were absolutely brilliant. It's gotten so bad I've resorted to going to Petco to get away from them.

This corporation has been purchasing many of our local vet practices in North Georgia. One of them I formerly used with my dogs, and another used by a friend. But they purchase each "local" clinic quietly and anonymously so as to not be noticed by the clients and local customers. Once they purchase the practice, the prices are drastically increased and care will dramatically decline. Two examples, my dog died as a result of inadequate and lack of care from my former vet, and the friend's dog just died as a result of inadequate care at a different SVP vet. Everyone needs to "vet" (pun intended) their own vet and inquire whether they are owned by SVP. IF they are owned by SVP, you should change vets immediately. This company is only in the veterinary practice for the profits.

Hoping to help others honestly; but I just left Cedar Animal Hospital, Richmond Hill GA I have been with them for at least 7 years and have always gotten a military discount and with three dogs it makes a difference, so I definitely noticed not only was my invoice a decent amount higher then last year, but no discount even though I was told I would be given one. I checked out after doing the annual wellness plan for our three weeks and then purchasing their Seresto collars and noticed the amount was much higher (which I get everything is) but nearly 300 dollars higher is quite a difference, when I showed my ID and asked if that was with military discount I was told “yes” that it reflected that and was discounted. I double checked my receipt when we left and called back because it didn’t reflect on my invoice and we didn’t get the usual discount and it did not reflect any discount after I had been told it would. Again, I was told it was on the invoice and it wasn’t. When I called, I was told by someone named Jessica that they never discounted the package because it was already discounted and then I explained that I have paper work for the past seven years for all three and at one time four dogs and that all have military discounts on them for every year and I was told that she was looking at my past records and that there were no discounts listed, when I actually have my invoices and the records and that show that there are. Then they changed stories and said that they changed the rule more recently. I also explained that when someone is dropping nearly 700.00 on care that it would be more Professional to let someone know of policy changes or price differences and I was treated rudely. Be aware, Funny how this discount has somehow recently disappeared after seven years of always being given to us and not that it’s a huge amount but principal of the matter is I didn’t feel cared for and I am trusting you with my fur babies, and being lied to matters. I was given several different stories and have past invoices that prove that who ever I was on the phone with had zero compassion, was very rude and just did not want to do their job. When I mentioned how I loved my vet there but was unhappy with this I was told it was over the vets head and also did not matter. I’m not sure that I will go back, I love my current vet but I feel as if the staff were irritated, rude, and not friendly on any level from the second we walked in and on top of that I feel as if now we were dismissed and taken advantage of. Hope I’m the only one that has this awful experience.

This company is one of the few Veterinary Corporations that practice what they preach. The Regional and Home Office Leaders are exceptional almost to a person.

Expect the services at your local vet's office to rise significantly after they partner with SVP. Also, there's literally zero people of color on their leadership team in 2024 like???
