My vet referred me to Dr. Auvil at Grady, one of only two, I think, dental specialists in town. Having just lost one cat to oral cancer, I was afraid this one might have it too. Grady refused to let me see Dr. Auvil because I had complained 4 years earlier of the compasionless care a cat of mine received there from other vets and staff the day he died. I don't know why Dr. Auvil is at Grady because he was very kind when I had taken my other cat there. And because he is there, he is inaccessible to my cats. I will never recommend Grady. I get bad vibes from there just driving by its expressway exit.

Our guinea pig, Flower, was bloated--a deadly condition for GPs, when we took her in for emergency care. Unlike most vets, Dr. Brown knew how to treat this problem because she had researched and dealt with it before. She warned us that the procedure was risky, and was very compassionate. We left Flower over night and brought her back home the next evening, good as new, healthy and even bathed. A few days later the office called to check on Flower's condition.

Excellent staff, very personable and understanding. open 24 hours, 365 days/year-- I never have to worry I'll ever be stuck with mediocre care with them around the corner. They treated my pet and I very well, and the cost came in below the low estimates of another less-friendly clinic (even though it was still a costly procedure). I will take my pets here on a regular basis, not just for emergency care, and I continue to give them my highest recommendation to all pet owners.

12-15-05: @2 a.m. took my cat in with blood clot blocking blood flow to back legs. First vet said next few days would be critical. At 7 a.m., I called in and was told my cat was given pain medication, but was not told his condition had changed. At noon, my cat was lying on his side, eyes open but unaware, rapid shallow breathing, with heart slowing (I wasn't told that) after second vet had given him maximum dose of second painkiller despite drug manual warnings. I wasn't told my cat was dying. I sat with him two hours. No one checked on him. At 2 p.m. I was told he would die in a couple hours. In shock, I stayed. Two hours later, no one having checked in on him, he seized. Third vet brought second pain medicine that I had specifically told her I didn't want. She argued with me. She left, he died. I was in tears. I went to find tech to turn off the IV machine. Waiting, I turned it off myself. The tech came in, turned it back on, I objected, he turned it off and rudely said "you're welcome." The third vet came back and said only "Are you going to have him cremated or take him with you?" No word of sympathy. I went to call a pet cemetery. When I came back, no one was there. I had to take the IV tape off my cat’s leg myself. The receptionist walked in and I said, in tears, I could not believe that place. She said "Nothing seems to make you happy." I picked up my cat and left, crying. I wrote and called Dr. Grady. He wrote back that they had done nothing wrong.

They are open 24/7 for emergencies. They have saved my cats life a few times. They give TOP quality care. They knew what was wrong with my kitty when another vet said I don't know take him home and wait. Well i dr. quelis at grady vet knew what to do right away and she told me that he was realy bad off but to stay hope full. From what we read on the internet about the type of poising my cat had he should ahave died or had serious organ damage but it has been ever a year and he is PERFECT. NO problems at all Dr. quelis is an amazing vet whom i can't thank enough.
