We recently took our family dog, Peanut, to Natchez Trace Veterinary Services in Belle Meade for knee surgery in February. Peanut is a 3-year-old Mastiff. Peanut had fallen down steps, and two vets said she had a torn ACL. She couldnt even walk and would not get up from her bed. Several friends recommended Dr. Marc Smith at NTVS, who gave us his prognosis and the options. We ended up having Peanuts surgery performed at his clinic. We were very impressed with his knowledge and expertise as well as his integrity explaining our options and the realistic potential pros and cons. We were also impressed with the clinic staff and their communication with us and their interest in helping us. They emailed us information about Peanuts medical situation and the different options and surgeries available, and they kept us up to date on how Peanut was progressing through the surgery and after the surgery was over. Peanut is all better now, with no limp or sign of any problem! She is back to normal, walking, running and enjoying life! And acting like she never had surgery! We were very happy with the way the doctor and staff took care of Peanut. They treated her as if she were their own dog! I highly recommend Natchez Trace Veterinary Services for any type of veterinary care, and will continue to use them to care for our pets!

I have been going here the last couple of months the service by dr. Smith is exceptional he has taken great care of me and my pet. This is one of the few holistic and chiropractic services I could find .its a long drive for me but very worth it. My dog has had severe back issues and he has made my dog as comfortable as possible. He also has had great advice for feeding my pet more whole food, and making my own dog food. The time hes took with my many questions and being able to be in touch thru email if after hours has eased my mind during the harder times. I would recommend him to anyone looking for one on one counseling dealing with pet needs. His expertise has surpassed my expectations. I look ford to continuing my relationship with his veterinarian services. The laser therapy, chiropractic and acupuncture along with his own brand of food and organ meat treats was this deciding factor to keep me as a client for years even as I get new pets. just want to say thanks dr. Smith for all you do for us and the animals, your time and consideration is greatly appreciated.

Before meeting Dr. Mark Smith, I had a difficult time finding a vet I could relate to and trust with my animals’ health. I’m a horse trainer and horse owner. I look at animal care in the same why I approach training: A symptom (whether physical or behavioral) is a sign of an underlying problem. I am grateful to Dr. Smith because he doesn’t focus on making the symptom go away. He seeks the underlying cause and then works toward bringing the animal back into a state of health. I love his comprehensive and practical approach that includes the importance of diet, management, and exercise. I also appreciate that he has taken it upon himself to seek knowledge beyond his primary education and embraces a broad spectrum of modalities. Anything that adds tools to the tool belt is an advantage when it comes to diagnosis, treatment, and routine care, and in my opinion, is a testament to open-mindedness and a deeper level of understanding and caring. I turn to Dr. Smith when I need advice and help with my horses. I also happily recommend him to my clients.

We have been going to Natchez Trace for several years now, and couldnt be happier! They are excellent in every way! They gave our senior Berner optimal & active golden years, with several treatments that worked wonderfully for her. Our 3-year old Berner (started with them as a 7-week old baby). and German Shepherd are happy customers, and actually love going to see Dr. Marc and his amazing staff! We just adopted another 8 year old Berner, and he did an incredible job in removing a growth in her eye. They never make us feel that were being sold anything unnecessary or expensive (unlike several of our vets in the past). I have personally recommended them to at least a dozen friends and acquaintances without any hesitation, and will continue to do so!

We are very fortunate to have found Dr. Smith. Our dog had severe breathing issues and after having been to several vets who gave us different diagnosis we lost hope that we would be able to save our pet. With very few options, we continued to search for help and were lucky to have found Dr. Smith. The day that we arrived at the office our pet could hardly walk, Dr. Smith performed an endoscopy to determine the cause of the breathing issue and afterwards performed a surgery to remove the obstruction. Although it was a complicated procedure, the results were outstanding. All of her issues were resolved after the surgery, and she has been given another chance at life. Dr. Smith worked with us closely and understood our needs. So happy we found you!

Dr Smith and his staff form a partnerhip with you & your animal family. They are there for the long-term with you and dont just schedule treatments to generate revenue. They are really amazing, especially given all of our other Vet experiences. When our dog got a grave illness, his compassion, cell phone calls and helping us get closure on the dogs passing was unsurpassed. He truly had become a friend. Plus, he has a side specialty in alternative treatments- amazing!

Dr. Smith has an extensive knowledge in veterinary medicine that I havent encountered with any other vet. He was the third vet I saw for an issue with my dog, and was the only one able to get to the root of the problem. After several weeks of a combination of new food, and herbal and prescription meds, Tinker finally returned to normal. He is great for special diagnoses and alternative treatments!

Dr. Smith has successfully treated three of my pets with extreme knowledge and concern. He has helped my dog to live with the pain of arthritis and overcome a knee injury with surgery. In the past his acupuncture treatments made aging bearable for my senior dog. He also treated my six week old kitten for pneumonia resulting in my awesome now two year old cat of today!

Dr. Smith and his staff are highly dedicated individuals to all animals. They have been treating one of my foster dogs, Marshmallow, who was born with a congenital defect. I am happy to have found them and Marshmallow is progressing with therapy and treatment. Thank you

Dr Smith takes care of our pony and our dogs. At last vet, we saw someone different every time which led to major issues with my dog. Dr Smith takes his time and is so knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. His staff is always wonderful too
