All Creatures Veterinary Clinic

So I was traveling through Monteagle, TN I stopped at the truck stop for food and rest. A horrible accident happened as I was walking my dog, he was struck and run over by a tractor trailer. He seemed slightly injured, with road rash on his hind legs and tail, but his lethargy and lack of thirst and appetite, got me worried. So I took him to all creatures vet clinic. They answered the door and told me they weren't opened yet, but when I explained what had happened, they rushed me right in and began a cursory exam, reassuring me the whole time. They explained that the doctor hadn't arrived yet. But had been notified about Lucid, his injuries, and current state. The staff was so pleasant and professional they really helped ease my worries. They took him in the back and sedated him for x-rays, to determine if any internal injuries had occurred. They told me to come back in an hour and a half and they would have the results. I returned as instructed and promptly met with the Vet Dr. Gordon Bijvoet, who assured me that Lucid would be just fine. A small fracture on his pelvis and tail but no major organ damage or trauma. He said he would be sore and gimpy for a few weeks but I could expect a complete recovery in a month. He prescribed some pain medicine, and antibiotics and sent me on my way..... So it's been week and Lucid is doing great. He still has the road rash but the recovery has been remarkable. He's walking a lot better. Eating and drinking like before, I would like to thank all the staff, who are nameless to me, but are remarkable individuals, who worked as a team to provide my Lucid the best care imaginable. I recommend All Creatures to any and all pet owners, who want excellent veterinary care for their animal friends/family. Try them you'll like it, I guarantee.

First time to get established and my cat had a respiratory sickness. Dr Gordon was absolutely wonderful. We reviewed all history, asked and answered questions. Was very gentle and through on exam. Price was very reasonable.

I may not know how to pronounce his last name, but Dr. Gordon is fantastic! Empathetic, professional, kind, thorough. I’m sure the other doctors are also good, but he’s the person we’ve seen, so I stick with him. The staff are ALWAYS kind and efficient. Barring emergencies showing up while you’re there, the schedule is maintained so that the wait time is reasonable. (If I were that emergency, I’d appreciate the patience of other clients!) Everything you’d want in a Veterinary Clinic. Our new home base for maintenance, and when my boy is feeling puny.

Great visit. My dog is feeling much better. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Love it here, I definitely recommend!

By far the worst Veterinarian in the 3 states I have lived in. Makes it impossible to get Rx through chewy because they are mad we’re not paying them for their incompetence. Can’t get the prescriptions right, including correct medications and dosages. Chewy contacted us stating the dosages are too high for our 13 year old with congestive heart failure. Luckily Town & Country in Dechard, TN took us back in after we expressed our horror stories at this facility, and ordered our prescriptions through chewy with no issues. If we would have stayed here , we would of had to get paper prescriptions from All creatures, wait a week for them to print them out for us to pick up. Then they would have been wrong, wait another week. Drive back , pick them up. Then mail them to chewy, wait another week. Order pills through chewy, they don’t go through, call chewy, they tell us to contact All creatures, they blame chewy, chewy blames them, wait another week, then do it all again the next month , and the next month ,and the next, until you find a different veterinarian.
