I cannot recommend The Small Animal Clinic enough! They are always available to help us during emergency visits, and regular care. The staff and Doctors there are amazing, caring, and so attentive to our special fur babies. Just recently we had to help my 17 year old furr baby across the rainbow bridge. Everyone was so compassionate, and understanding while I blubbered my way through the process. I never felt rushed, and we received the personal, and professional care that my Luna needed during her last night. Thank you everyone at The piedmont small animal clinic

I've been brining my furr babies to Dr. NOLAN for 8+ years. She did my boston terrier's eye removal surgery. One eye and then 6 months later the other eye had to be removed due to detached retna, and other cornea degenerative eye problems. It's been over a year now and jezel is still thriving and doing exactly as she had been prior to surgery. I was worried about quality of life with her and she has done nothing but continue on being her spunky self. She will be 11 in October and still acts like a pup. Dr. NOLAN left all the muscle around the eye and eyebrow. When jezel "looks" at us which she does :) her little eyebrows still move. It's superb work! Not to mention she did my golden retrievers spay a couple months ago which also was beautiful work. The communication before during and after visits and procedures are always top notch care. I live an hour away and still will only take my pets to this office. The clinical staff are always very positive and caring and go the extra mile. Hard to find that nowadays. Front office staff are polite and caring and work with you in emergency situations and work well with your schedule if needed. My family thanks you all and astrid and jezel do too. 💜

I love this place! I never leave here shocked by the bill; I feel the prices are more than reasonable. My pet was seen by Dr. Thayer twice before we sadly decided to have him euthanized, which was hard but I was so comforted and touched by how compassionate the staff were. My experience was so wonderful that when my family got a new pet, we have returned to Piedmont. Dr. Thayer is so incredibly smart and experienced, and when confronted with something she’s not totally confident on- she reaches out to a network of colleagues- which I personally love. I had the pleasure of meeting a veterinarian student who accompanied Dr. Thayer for my pets exam the last time I was there. I appreciate this is a teaching hospital, and it demonstrates the quality of care your pet will receive.

The folks at Piedmont Small Animal Clinic are simply the best. My dog and her sister are both patients at the clinic and I can’t say enough nice things about them. The dogs are treated wonderfully and everything is explained clearly and concisely to me.

If I could give them 10 out of 5 stars I would! I can't recommend Dr. Chapman highly enough. She takes a look at the entire patient and looks for the root of issues and isn't quick to push a prescription unless it's really necessary. She combines traditional and integrative medicine in her approach to give the best care possible, and takes the time to discuss things thoughtfully and thoroughly, and is very respectful of the owner's knowledge and understanding of their companion animals. And the staff is always friendly and helpful!
