Hiawassee Veterinary Clinic

I love Dr. Palm and the whole staff. He's very knowledgeable and cares deeply about every pet that comes in. My cat is a spicy little thing who was especially grumpy from being in pain from bladder stones, and he took care of her like she was his own. One of the things that's really important to me is that I'm in the exam room with her all the time. It makes me and her much more comfortable, so she's easier to treat. She's so comfortable there she'll bathe herself! We've been seeing Dr. Palm for 4 years and I won't take my cats anywhere else!

Dr Palm is truly the best vet, and his office & tech staff are superb. Throughout Belle's struggles, they were so sweet and loyal to her well-being. All the way up to her last second with us, she was taken care of and loved with dignity. 🐾

We’ve been going to this practice for several years and I’ve spoken highly of this practice, recommending the business on social media. Wednesday I took my dog in for wellness visit and she had a vaccine shot. I asked during the appointment about the side effects and they said these are normal vaccines. No more info on side effects or what to look out for. Wednesday evening she was not doing well and lethargic. She did not want to move around and same for Thursday morning. I was so worried and we took her back in Thursday to which Dr Palm said it was probably a pinched nerve. She had a low fever and was in pain. The entire time they were pushing that it was not the vaccineor their fault in any way. Mind you, I didn’t ask or say anything. At that point, I didn’t care, I just wanted my girl to feel better as I was so worried. She was given medication and she is doing better. However, I had to pay $215 plus $162 for both visits. Super disappointed as it’s clearly something from the vaccine or the way it was administered . My girl has no health issues and the vet commented many times on how healthy she is. We’ve never had anything like this happen after a vaccine shot. We will have to reevaluate if bringing her to this office is in her best interest.

I left a review about a year ago but wanted to leave another because I had another amazing experience today. After my dog suddenly fell ill they were able to get me in within the hour. Dr. Palm was amazing and was so good with my baby. He was honest and strait to point and explained things very throughly. He determined that the likely cause was toxic chemical from a recently treated lawn that my dog may have ingested. He told me about how wonderful my dog was and he even gave me his number since he was going to be out of the office. To check in and ensure all is ok. With squeezing me in last minute as well as all the test they ran (and waiting for results) i was in and out in less than an hour and a half. The ladies at the front desk are always so nice and pleasant and I love how they run the business. You stay in your car until you are ready to be put in a room. It’s very organized and not chaotic with animals running all over. I’m so glad I found this vet a year ago!

I wanted to bring awareness to this outstanding veterinarian, tech and front office staff. My two mixed breed pups have been seeing Dr. Palm for years but i have a 14 year old with special needs. My 14 year old chihuahua mix - 17 pounds - has a rare disease - Addisons and Dr. Palm diagnosed him and saved his life. My dog requires monthly injections to withstand stress as his body does not produce the hormone needed. Bottom line is i regularly bring my animals in and the staff just treats them so well and accommodates our needs. If you want a trusted and caring vet, highly recommend this family friendly clinic.
