I NO LONGER TRUST THIS VET!!! As a mother to two Boxer dogs, I had been a patron of this veterinary clinic for over 8 years. I started taking my oldest Boxer there as a puppy 8yrs ago. Dr Alvey had always been very thorough and kind as we had a number of surgeries performed there to remove various growths, some of which were cancerous. But, when I returned to have a growth on her lip looked at, a new vet with the practice saw us. Having listened to Dr Alveys advice on Boxer lumps and bumps... we wanted to have this growth removed ASAP. Dr Jennings, the new vet, said that we should try a topical antibiotic to see if the growth decreased in size. Over the course of the next week to two weeks a mass under my dogs chin appeared. So, we took her back in.. hoping to get the issue resolved. Dr Jennings then said that we would need to do oral antibiotics and steroids to reduce the size of the lip growth. After 2 wks of this course of therapy... the size did decrease minimally and surgery was scheduled. But after 3 days off antibiotics and steroids, the lump in her neck was back and had tripled in size. I just walked in the office one morning, a couple days prior to scheduled surgery, determined to have Dr Alvey look at my dog. But, what I got was a diagnosis of lymphoma from Dr Jennings after a chest xray and brief exam. Needless to say, her delivery of the news left much to be desired. She showed me places on the xrays that she believed were metastatic disease and would ultimately lead to her death. I was given two weeks of steroids to "keep her comfortable" and that was that. Although I waited for quite a long time, Dr Alvey never set foot in the room to confirm the diagnosis, to speak to me about the situation, or just to provide some comfort to a long time customer. I immediately took my dog to see Dr Dawn Mason at Harmony Animal Hospital and was greeted sympathetically as she reviewed the xrays from Bridgemill Animal Hospital. She drew some fluid from the mass and looked for lymph node cells on microscope, determining that the mass was a lymph node that could be cancerous or could just be reactive to the growth on her lip. She did not agree that the chest Xray showed lymphoma. Long story short, Dr Mason was absolutely tender and caring and open to just removing the growth on my babys lip to see what happened with the node under her chin. Here we are just a few short days after surgery and my Boxer is doing amazing. The lymph node has more than halved in size on antibiotics and Dr Mason thinks that it may just have been reacting to the lip growth. My concern with Bridgemill Animal Hospital is this... if I had left the growth on her lip and just gone home with my head held low and just set about "keeping her comfortable", my Boxer baby would likely have died. But, as it looks now, she is on the road to recovery and my family has a new vet!! So if you also view your pet as a family member, make sure you get QUALITY care form a CARING vet!

Bridgemill animal hospital did their very best to save my dogs life. They went above and beyond for me, my family, and my baby (Max) and I am eternally grateful. When other vets told me to muzzle my screaming dog with a shoe string(a rottweiler mind you) and attempt to move him myself as he was paralyzed, Bridgemill offered me counsel and comfort and assistance to do everything in the most humane way possible. I will be asking to make another appointment for my other animals for a checkup soon because I trust the judgement of the staff specifically Jeff and Dr. Alvey, without whom, my dog wouldnt have had the best chance at survival. Thank you B.A.H. for everything you did and your selfless compassion.

My parents and I both take our pups here! Have been for years, they are wonderful and really are honest folks that take pride in their work. My parents are local, but I live in Atlanta - I actually make the drive (27 miles - one way!!) to and from my house, which is a good 40 mins, one way, (this is only on that rare occasion of no traffic, usually its a good hour) because these guys are that amazing!! Well worth the drive!! Plus, my dog loves everyone she has interactive with so far (and she hates pretty much everyone)! Great people, good vet and very accommodating to you and your pets!

I have been taking my dog here since 2012. they have always been professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I recently bought and lost my dogs flea medicine and when I went back to purchase another 6 months supply, they taped a free dose on the package. that little gesture goes a long way for me.

Always bringing my fur babies here! They saved my pups life from an adverse reaction to vaccines at another vet; after cautious care and advising me on the best treatment, shes made a full recovery! To the whole staff: Thank you for giving great care and compassion!

I called today to get my three dogs groomed by Jason - a very good groomer... and he was gone. They did not know where he was - Im sure they have a good groomer, but does anyone know where Jason has gone?

AWFUL! WRONG DIAGNOSIS! the doctor there misdiagnosed my dog and I just flushed $250 down the drain when I only make $600 a month
