Johnson Veterinary Services

My family has taken our pets to Dr. Johnson over the years and he has always treated each of them as his own pet. He has treated our dogs and cats of all ages with great knowledge, skill, and compassion. His prices are much better than other vets here but his expertise is priceless. The staff are friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable as well. He’s the best vet around by a long shot.

Doctor Johnson and staff are great. I've known Doc Johnson and Heather for years, and as always they are top-notch. Their professionalism combined with a true love for all animals sets them apart from the crowd.

So happy to have found Dr Johnson! He saved my fur baby from kidney failure a couple of years ago. He is still taking care of all the health issues but offers affordable options. Saved me hundreds on insulin by switching to WalMart pharmacy. Staff is friendly and professional.

I, Raddles's mom, am giving Doc Johnson's Vet 5 full stars. HOWEVER, my big boy Raddles is super annoyed with Dr. Johnson. Raddles feels it was a total invasion of his personal privacy and possibly a HIPPA violation for Doctor J to tell Raddles's mom that he's 31 lbs overweight and to provide no more than 2 cups of food each day. Raddles wants you to know that Doctor J actually suggested eliminating the yummy bone marrow bones from the butcher's and giving salted, uncooked frozen broccoli as a treat. Raddles is definitely not pleased with Doctor J, but his mom sure is! I appreciate the fact that we never have to wait long in the waiting area after arriving because being at a vet's office can be traumatizing for both Mom/Dad and pup/cat. At the annual visits, if there is going to be any additional charges from the previous visit, it is discussed beforehand. One thing I really appreciate about Dr Johnson is he will tell it to you straight. I was first introduced to this Veterinarian office in 2018 when I offered to take my disabled friend's dog to Dr. J because her dog had a small growth on his eyelid that she was concerned over. Dr. Johnson diagnosed it as a harmless cyst, and while he said he could remove it under anesthesia, he also said that it would currently be a total waste of money. He showed me (to pass on to the owner) how to drain the cyst at home every 8-12 months, saving quite a bit over the cost of surgically removing it. Dr J seems to be much more aware of the cost-consciousness of veterinary medicine than any other vets I've been to -- including another well-known vet in Marietta where my daughter summer interned while studying animal prosthetics at UGA. I noticed a review saying that they don't/won't provide prescriptions to other pharmacies. This is not really accurate. They will not forward prescriptions to online pharmacies, BUT they will call-in any prescription to any local pharmacy. Since most of the prescription medication given to pets, particularly dogs, is the same as given to humans, getting prescriptions filled at Kroger or CVS can be a lot less than paying for the convenience of a vet's office. Medication, esp generics like antibiotics and anti-anxiety pills, are available at local pharmacies and usually save costs. However, prescriptions that are dog/cat-specific and unlikely to be carried by human pharmacies, like a monthly heartworm chew, can be purchased at this Vet clinic or called into another, local vet clinic as pet-only medication is unlikely to be available at Kroger, Publix, etc. since there's no human equivalent. In summary, I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend Johnson's Veterinary Services... and although he's unlikely to be FULL in the near future, I'm sure Raddles will be giving his full endorsement 31 lbs from now.
