We found Dr Keller and his team when one of our Guinea pigs needed to be seen ASAP. No regular vet or emergency vet had someone on staff who sees “exotics”. Dr Keller got our Princess Pickles in the day we called! We also had another one of our Guinea pigs start dragging his legs, turned it his back was fractured from his cage mate climbing on him. They got us in next day, did X-rays, gave meds, and called the next day to see how Mr Brown was doing! We have been taking our animals there ever since. The staff is friendly and helpful. Dr Keller is AMAZING and we are so thankful we found him! We live out towards hwy 60 and hwy 58 Harrison/Georgetown area and make the almost hour drive to Lookout Mtn because this team is worth it! They are affordable and they do it because this is their passion! I could go on and on but if you are looking for an affordable and loving group of Vets and staff this is the place to go!!!

Brought one of my chameleons here for a checkup. Got checked in (was about 10 min early) and was immediately placed in a room. Within just a few minutes, the vet was in and started his exam. Super friendly, knowledgeable staff. Asked lots of questions to get a full understanding of what was going on as well as answering any questions I had. Highly recommended!

Dr. Keller and his staff are incredible. My dog was very sick and required surgery. Dr. Keller made her feel safe in his care and she is finally on the path to healing. I could not be more thankful for them.

I have a 6 year old iguana, that was due to lay her 3rd clutch of eggs (not fertilized). After she had passed the last 2 clutches over the years with about 2 weeks of limited eating, this time worried me as she was not eating at all for about a month. I had actually been referred to see Dr. Keller by Dr. Linderman over at Standifer Gap Pet Hospital for a hysterectomy procedure, as she was more than likely egg-bound. Dr. Keller scheduled for me to bring her in later that same day that I called, and had a great treatment plan in place to help her along with the process, as opposed to just putting her directly into surgery (this would have created a lot of stress for her, and could have had horrible repercussions). After keeping her for a couple of days, the surgery was scheduled, and turned out to be a lot more involved than anticipated. The procedure was completed with success, and she was well looked after by the staff to make sure her recovery was going well. Dr. Keller actually had left for the day after the surgery, and came back in the evening to check up on her and called me with an update. The level of respect that I received at this clinic was astounding, as was the level of care that she received. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone that deeply cares for their pets. I am happy that I found a vet that could help me with my iguana, and I am pleased that Dr. Keller did this procedure for me. The staff was very attentive as well, and were very helpful when I brought her in and set up her enclosure, as well as when I had to pick her up and take her home. She is doing well, and I am looking forward to her check up in a couple of weeks.

Mountain Hospital for Animals scheduled us for a same day appointment as first time clients when our pet rat, Skipper, began developing symptoms of pneumonia. Skipper had never needed care from a vet before, so I was concerned about the experience being fearful and traumatic for him, but it was immediately clear Dr. Keller and his staff were very experienced with rodents and that he was in good hands! It's reassuring to know such an experienced, well established, and affordable office is available to rats (and other small and/or exotic pets) in the Chattanooga area, and we were so grateful they were willing to schedule us so quickly as it does not take long for a symptomatic rat to succumb to pneumonia. Skipper is doing much better, and feeling happy and well today thanks to the antibiotics prescribed at Mountain Hospital for Animals. We will definitely return if Skipper or any of his brothers need vet care in the future! Thank you Mountain Hospital for Animals, and Hwy 58 Animal Hospital for the excellent referral!
