On the day that Dr. Marshall watched me sobbing on the floor with my dear dog that she was euthanizing, she sent me a letter telling me not to return to the practice with my surviving pet. No condolences. Just a letter booting me out of the practice. On the same day that she euthanized my dog. This was my punishment, on one of my darkest days, because I disagreed with Dr. Gresham on the course of care for my 14 year old Lab. Dr. Gresham wanted me to give the dog pain pills (without explaining the side effects or risk factors) when my poor Old Girl just really needed me to let her go. My sin was not only to disagree with Dr. Gresham’s course of care, but to express my disagreement to both Dr. Gresham (after conducting an independent research on the prescribed medication) and on a survey that I was sent a few days after the appointment with Dr. Gresham. On the survey, I rated the staff and facilities generally high. I did not rate the interaction with Dr. Gresham highly and I explained “why” in detail in the comment section so that the survey reader would understand exactly what I found wanting. I completed the survey on a Friday. The following Monday I was ejected from the practice. If you are looking for a vet in the Smyrna area, I would recommend finding one with more compassion. If you are currently with this practice, I advise that you NOT disagree with or go against any of their advice. I have been with this practice for nearly 9 years. Over the years the vets have changed and Dr. Sims has retired. It is a very different place now.

Weve only been to their clinic once, but it was a great experience. My husband and I accidentally missed a dosage of flea & tick on our dogs and they developed really nasty rashes presumably from flea bites, on their bellies. Weve just moved down here from NJ and hadnt chosen a vet yet. A friend of ours recommended Chastain and Im very happy with our choice to listen to him. We made an appointment last minute and they were willing to see us even though they sounded pretty booked. When we got there, we only had to wait a few minutes before we were called back. They diagnosed her quickly and efficiently and didnt try to sell us on a bunch of items or medications (like Banfield does for example). She gave us a quote and let us make the decision that was best for us and our pup. All-in-all, a wonderful experience and we will be going back for any future animal needs.

Having recently moved to the Smyrna area, we were in need of a new vet and were referred to Chastain Animal Clinic by our neighbors. We were fortunate to have our dog and one of our cats seen by Dr. Marshall and she was wonderful. She addressed all of our concerns with an incredibly friendly demeanor that helped to keep both of us and our pets at ease. Best of all, she recommended treatment options that were very affordable which is a nice change of pace from our previous vet * cough * Briarcliff Animal Clinic * cough *, who used scare tactics to guilt-trip us into insanely expensive, and likely, unnecessary procedures. Needless to say, well be going back and would highly recommend Chastain Animal Clinic.

After finding blood in my cats urine last night, I called Chastain Animal Clinic as soon as they opened today. Not only did they have an appointment at 10:30am, they were amazing! The cat was not the easiest patient to say the least, but they were nothing but incredibly sweet taking care of him and me. He needed to have X-rays and a urinalysis done, and needed to be sedated to get everything done, and hed already eaten this morning, so they took him back and kept him most of the day. They were fantastic about keeping me updated on what was going on. I hate that he was such a little jerk, but I cant sing their praises enough.

Friendly staff, Well educated Doctors. Dont let the décor fool you. I initially stopped by to get an appointment. When I saw the circa 1979 décor I thought hmm if they are this behind on décor what else are they behind on? Then I started asking for referrals. After three different people recommended them I set up an appt. Have been very pleased for last 8 years. Doctors know how I feel about my dog and would mortgage my home if she needed something. They have never taken advantage of that and I think they logically think through the process similar to what I would do. Im very pleased.

This is the BEST animal clinic! Dr. Jeff Sims is amazing! I have a dalmation and Dr. Sims always treats Jake as if he were his own. The Chastain staff is great, especially Ethel. Jake is now 14 ánd is still in amazingly good health. I owe that hugely to Dr. Sims great care and his helping me make the right decisions when it comes to what Jake really needs. I cant thank everyone at Chastain Animal Clinic enough for all they do.

I left my other vet clinic because of various issues. Going to Chastain has alleviated all the issues I had before. The wait time is minimal and there are several doctors on staff. Everyone (doctors and staff) is friendly and competent. The doctors are thorough and the techs are super with the animals.

I love this place! The staff is always super friendly and helpful. The doctors have a great bed-side manner! They always get me in, even for last-minute/emergency appointments. My dog actually gets really excited when we pull into the parking lot.
