Preventive care

Atrium is a wonderful place. They were our vet for over 8 years before we had to move away. Hoping we build a relationship with our new vet like we had with them. Both our dogs and our cat thrived under their care; prices are reasonable for a vet in the city and the care is unmatched. Boarding services are also great - it was always a great relief to know our pets were in good hands while we were out of town, especially convenient when we could combine annual services and a bath when they coincided with a vacation Thank you atrium for all your help over the years!

Dr Sarah Krieg is one of the best vets I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have had many many pets over the past 50+ years and I am so fortunate to have her caring for my 4 pups now.

Dr Sarah Krieg and the AAH staff are wonderful. We started taking our senior Golden Retriever for acupuncture as part of a pain management plan, and over the past two years have gradually transferred all of our vet needs over to Dr Krieg.

Dr Belton, Jessica and the team took great care of Brody once again! He can always be a bit of a handful, but they are so calm, caring and understanding! I can't thank you all enough!

My experience with Atrium Animal Hospital was amazing. To begin, we had an issue with our rabbit's eye. She had escaped her enclosure and had an adventure on her own in the wild for almost three weeks. When we found her and got her home, she kept her eye mostly closed (but otherwise seemed fine). It's extremely difficult to find a vet in the Charlotte area willing to look at a rabbit. We finally were referred to Atrium Animal Hospital from another vet, and when we called on a Monday found they were booked for appointments for 10 days (another was 2+ weeks). However, they advised to call first thing the next morning to see about any cancellations. We were able to grab a mid-morning appointment to get our rabbit seen. The new patient and check-in process was flawless. Dr. Morrison was great as well. He carefully explained what he was doing, and gave the impression he was interested in me understanding and learning. He invited me to look as they dyed both eyes to investigate any damage, explaining what he saw in the eye with the issue. We only needed some antibiotic drops, but Dr. Morrison explained how he administers the drops in detail. I appreciate the time and care provided for our rabbit after her injury during her adventure. I'd recommend Atrium Animal Hospital for anyone with exotic / non-standard pets.
