My family and I have been using Dr. Powers since 1988. He is the absolute best Vet in the area. So wonderful that my immediate family travels an hour to for Vet appointments with their pets. He has taken amazing care of all of our family pets. Dr. Powers is able to determine with minimally invasive techniques the majority of our pets ailments. When needed he will send us to a specialty vet and ensure while under their care that our pets are receiving the appropriate treatments. Dr. Powers and the staff at Southside Animal Hospital have been with us through the fun puppy phase to the hard ache of losing our pets. He handles all of the situations with class and provides the moral support when needed. Dr. Marrow was a great addition to the Southside Animal Hospital family and is equally as great as Dr. Powers.

I'm not a person that typicaily post. I would like to share my story. Over the past 60 days I have been going to Southside. My dog Odin is under their care. Dr. Morrow took him with open arms after regular vet wasnt able to help. This issue started with the prior vet in February. I feel just like you. My Odin is part of the family. He had a hematoma that my regular vet was not about correct. This was after $1000.00 and several visits. Not knowing what to do I was referred to Southside. I dont wont to share the preivious vet. I will say this, Dr Morrow and Sothside has a customer for life. I cannot thank them enough.

Great staff, reasonable pricing. Came here from a friend's recommendation and have never thought about switching vets since.

Love this place! Our dogs see Dr.Morrow and she is knowledgeable, so nice and she takes great care of my pups. She impressed me from the get-go when she called me while she was away at a conference to walk me through a dental procedure my dog needed. All the techs and receptionists are great, too. We were referred by a friend and we will definitely refer others!

We've been going to this practice for over 10 years and highly recommend it.Dr. Marrow, Dr. Powers, the techs, and front desk staff are all top notch, are great about talking through care options, and addressing urgent and emergent needs as they arise.
