When most people come to Georgia
Veterinary Specialists, their first impression is often one of surprise. Inside
the large brick building is an advanced specialty referral hospital that
mirrors the most progressive of human hospitals. As one of just a few dozen
hospitals of its kind in the country, GVS is indeed unique. Once you come in,
you’ll immediately get the sense that this is the place where your pet will
have access to the most advanced medical care available.

We start with our contemporary and
spacious waiting area, which is designed to be a pleasant environment. Your pet
(and you) may already be a bit nervous about being in a strange place. We try
to reduce the stress as much as possible through comfortable surroundings and
friendly staff throughout the entire 30,000 square foot facility.
If you have an appointment with one
of our specialists, you will be taken to one of the private exam rooms and
diagnostic suites. If you have arrived
at GVS with an emergency, our staff will quickly assess your pet’s condition so
that he can been seen within a time frame appropriate to his condition. We share
your concern and assure you that care will be administered efficiently.

Due to the critical and complex
nature of the pets we see here at GVS, many will need to be hospitalized. The
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the "hub" of our facility. This unit ,
which is also part of our emergency services, functions much like a human
hospital ICU – with all the necessary technology to allow the doctors and nursing
staff to closely monitor and treat your seriously ill or injured pet.
GVS also has a fully staffed
radiology department, supervised by a board-certified radiologist. With
multiple machines in the department, including digital radiography capability,
a range of diagnostic procedures – from the complex to the routine – can be
done here. In addition, GVS has a CT machine and MRI on site for more detailed
scans of patients. We also have comprehensive ultrasound capability, as well as
endoscopic diagnostics.

For your convenience, GVS has the
capacity to fill prescriptions at the time of your visit or when a refill is
needed. We also have an in-hospital laboratory furnished with state of the art laboratory equipment, which
allows our doctors to quickly obtain test results. We are able to perform blood
chemistries, complete blood counts, and urinalysis and tests for feline
leukemia, heartworm, and parvovirus.

The state-of-the art surgery suites
are equipped with monitoring devices similar to those used in human hospitals.
A skilled technician is always present, working hand-in-hand with the surgeon
to monitor and report all vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure that
your pet’s surgery and anesthesia meets the highest medical standards

| Just minutes off GA 400 on Abernathy Road, GVS is convenient for most of the Metro Atlanta
area. The grounds also include a pristine and peaceful five-acre nature
preserve that will promote a peaceful sense of place -- you may forget you are so close to the hustle and
bustle of the city. Our commitment to your pet and you
is not only to offer extraordinary care, but also to make the visit or stay as
comfortable as possible. We think GVS is a special place. We believe you will,
too.
