Animal Emergency & Specialty Center of Chattanooga

Dr. Miller and the oncology team here are simply wonderful. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is searching for treatment options and a care team for their pet. I don't normally write reviews, but I know first hand how hard it is to have your pet receive a cancer diagnosis and not know where to start. My Welsh Corgi, Sully, was diagnosed with lymphoma. Dr. Miller walked me through all the treatment options, time frames and cost. I chose to do the CHOP protocol after extensive research of my own. The staff were always a pleasure to work with. Adjustable with drop off and pick ups and always treated my boy with love and kindness. Dr. Miller was very upfront and honest with prognosis which was looking good for him since I had caught his enlarged lymph nodes early. After his first treatment, Sully went into remission. He returned to his happy playful self and had wonderful quality of life. A little over a year after his diagnosis, his lymphoma returned which I researched is quite common. Dr. Miller again reviewed treatment options. We tried CHOP again however the lymphoma did not respond, so we switched to another drug. Unfortunately we were never able to fully get his lymphoma to go back into remission and 3 weeks after it returned, his spleen gave out and I had to make the devastating choice to put my boy down so he wouldn't suffer. Dr. Miller told me early on we would keep fighting as long as he did and we did. I can't thank her and the team enough for giving me another year with my beloved Sully. ❤️ -Niko

I went in to this clinic with my 8 year old dog gator who had been shot by a neighbor, the vet staff could see I was I terrified and so was gator, they treated me like family the doctor who treated him was absolutely amazing! She was so gentle with him and very reassuring to me that he would be ok. His leg needed to be amputated and she took care of him as if he were her own 💜 he's still recovering but the love and support they have shown me has really blown me away and i will forever be grateful. Hopefully we don't have any more emergencys like this again but if I ever do this is the only place I will bring my pets... Thank you guys again for everything you do!

I have an elderly French Bulldog, and I knew our move to New York (15 hour drive) was going to be problematic. Within 3 hours on the road, my sweet Fromage was having a full blown panic attack. She was hyperventilating so badly she couldn’t catch her breath at all. I was terrified I was going to lose her. I searched for an emergency vet on our route and found this place. I called and immediately was treated like my baby girl mattered. We showed up and they were ready for us and got my baby on oxygen immediately. We were back on the road in an hour and a half. She was calm and sedated enough to finish our trip. Thank you for saving my girl and helping her get to our new home. This is an emergency vet, so you’re going to pay more, but I went from worrying my dog was going to die to being able to finish our trip. Thank you! Photos from after treatment. She was very sedated and finally able to relax and breathe.

Sadly, we had to bring our kitty in to be euthanized. Everyone here was so compassionate. The staff went above and beyond with a wonderful card filled with paw prints of our cat. The company that they use for cremation is amazing and they did a wonderful job with the clay paw print and gave us a beautiful urn.

Staff was caring, efficient and professional. Before arriving for the visit, a link was sent so some paperwork could be completed through a portal, which prepared the clinic for the problem ahead of time. Both technician and vets handled my dog with gentle skill. I was given a treatment estimate, which was explained. I felt the price was very fair. My dog's surgery was completed successfully and she recovered well. I've dealt with several emergency clinics over the years and this will be my choice if I have another sick pet in the future.
