Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

The best full service veterinary clinic in the area. Got my cat seen immediately with an emergency. Dr Durden was great and really cares about his patients/clients! Also let me come see my boy during his 3 days stay😩

STAY AWAY!!!! I'd give this place minus 100 stars if I could! I had taken in my elderly cat who was having skin issues caused by fleas some time ago. Dr. Martin prescribed Simparica, and Chewy called his office to verify the prescription. I questioned his choice, as the box clearly says it's for dogs 3-11 pounds, but was assured by his office that it could also be used for cats. Thankfully my little girl had no problems with it; she passed away from renal failure at over 20 years of age. I adopted another cat, and he developed a serious flea problem - when I bathed him the water was actually red! I still had half a box of the Simparica left, so after his bath I gave him one of the pills. By the next morning he was uncoordinated and couldn't stand up. I called Dr. Martin's office and was told I couldn't bring him in because they were having emergency surgery. I ended up taking him to the ER, where the vets couldn't believe that a DOG flea treatment had been prescribed for a cat! Apparently dog flea treatments contain ingredients that can be FATAL to cats, yet that idiot is prescribing it for cats purely based upon the weight listed on the box! There is NO excuse for that - Chewy has every pet medication you could ever need, and there are plenty of products he could have chosen, but no - he chose to prescribe a product made for dogs. I've spend hundreds of dollars so far on treatment for this poor baby, which - being a disabled senior citizen I can ill afford. Is Dr. Martin going to reimburse me for that, seeing as it was his ignorance that caused the problem? I wonder how many cats have died because of his stupidity! You can be sure I'll be reporting him to the Georgia State Board of Veterinary Medicine!

Dr. Durden has been the doctor for my cats and dogs for a number of years, and he is THE BEST. I could write pages on everything that he has done to make my pets' lives better and he has even saved the lives of a few of them. He is kind, patient, gentle, concerned, honest, and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the health and well-being of both cats and dogs. The facility is great, and Dr. Martin and the staff are very welcoming and friendly as well.

My regular vet, Dr Jones, with Hixson Pet Wellness Center, referred me to one of her colleagues, when I took my senior pup, Bambi, to her, because my pup could not stand up on her front legs. Due to Bambi's blood work being all over the charts, the choice to use medication was not a good choice. Instead, Dr Jones told me about Laser treatment, something I had never heard of. She said Dr Jones has the equipment to do this treatment, and she sent me to him. After the first treatment, I could tell that my girl, Bambi, was trying to get her mobility back. She's had 4 treatments, along with chiropractic treatments, and it's AMAZING at what Bambi is able to do, now. She's up, walking, going up her doggy stairs to HER place on the couch. I have my girl back, and Bambi has her mobility back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr Martin and his staff for your pet care needs. And if you've never tried the laser treatment with the chiropractic treatment, for inflammation, in your pet, consider it ! It's AMAZING ❤️

This is a fantastic clinic and I highly recommend them. Even if you live a ways off, the love and care your furry family member will receive is worth the drive. Dr. Martin and the entire staff go out of their way to ensure you understand exactly what is needed to keep your pet healthy. Ashley is always kind & patient answering any questions or concerns when I call to schedule. I couldn't be happier with the care my girl received, and the education I received to keep her in good health. Five stars for sure!
