Inman Park Animal Hospital

Inman Animal Hospital misdiagnosed my dog. I brought him in because he had a cloudy eye. They didn't see it and charged me and now he's basically blind. They refused to see him again without charging me a second time. Please don't bring your beloved pets to these people. Read Less

Having utilized Western medicine years ago to treat arthritis for two of our senior dogs (resulting in meager improvement to their quality of life), when our latest 12-year old German Shepherd could no longer make it down our deck stairs to relieve himself in our backyard, I decided to go the holistic route, and try doggie acupuncture.  After six weekly sessions with Dr. Kumar, daily walks, and Chinese herb supplements (prescribed by Dr. Kumar), I am proud to say that Oliver is back to his youthful sweet self!  He pulls when we walk him, he trots when he sees other dogs, he is alert and participatory, and he has even regained his confidence to carefully make it down the 12 steps from our deck to the backyard. Ever since our first session with Dr. Kumar, her bedside manner has been amazing. Oliver was not nervous in the least when she stuck the needles in him; in fact, he fell asleep. Since then, I usually drop our dog off in the morning (kudos to the reception staff for expediting drop off appointments!), and in the afternoon, I receive a call from Dr. Kumar on his status. She asks me how he has been doing since the last session, and is willing to provide alternative suggestions when asked.  I wholeheartedly recommend being open to trying out a minimum 6 acupuncture sessions with Dr. Kumar for your arthritic pet.  Not only does she display immense warmth for our pets, but she is passionate about introducing Eastern Medicine into veterinary care. Oh, and your fur baby will thank you for it, too. Read Less

Could not be happier! Dr. Kumar is an answer to our prayers for our sweet 14-year old pup Millie. She has taken such good care of her; from her teeth to a minor surgical procedure of removing a benign mass from her head.Additionally, the administrative (Sydney) and technical staff (Jamie) at Inman are amazing; so very caring and interested in the well-being of our pup.

I've been coming to the nice people at Inman Park Animal Hospital with our westie puppy, Wallace, since May when we brought him home. They've been nothing but helpful and professional for all our visits. I feel totally confident with trusting the care of my pup to them! Read Less

The kind folks at Inman Park have taken care of Jack and Dodger for the last four years. They are not only great vets, they are great people. The best I've ever met in the vet field.  On multiple occasions, they have undercharged me for their work. Where visits to other clinics would've cost $500 or more, visits to Inman Park have cost less than $200. This includes an emergency "stomach pump" on rascally Jack.I can not recommend them highly enough. Curt Mueller Read Less

I can not say enough nice things about this place.  Dr. Fowler is very kind and knowledgable.  Bill is my favorite and is my babies favorite too.  He goes above and beyond every time we step foot in the clinic.  I could not be happier with they vet we chose for our baby.  Def going to be using and referring everyone to this vet for a long time.

The reviews are right - this place is the BEST! I couldn't believe how much they all cared and loved on my puppy when we came in for a mysterious illness. They took such good care of him and followed up by phone to make sure he was okay. Truly have never had a better experience anywhere else with previous pets. I will never go to another practice, even though we are moving an hour away. Read Less

Dr. Kumar and the rest of the staff at Inman Park Animal Hospital are so kind & experienced. They were amazing with my Blake, and have helped us through a truly gnarly ear infection that two previous vets could not properly treat. We have a new family vet! Thank you =) Read Less

I called ahead of my first visit to get information on what the visit and services for my 2 cats would cost and booked an appointment. When I checked out, the total was almost $200 higher than what I was told on the phone, though no additional services were administered. I was willing to make an exception because they tried to address it during that visit. I called for another appointment/information for an unwell cat, called when I was on my way and was told I couldn't come at that time because they don't take animals after 9am, though I called at 820am to talk about my pets issue, asked if it was ok to come by after traffic died down, and was not told there was an issue or a cut off time for animal drop off. Overall, I won't go back because the level of service is not what I expect. The information is inconsistent and inaccurate, the animal care providers were fine, at best. It just seems like they're more relaxed than works for me when my schedule requires accurate information, organization, and customer service. Read Less

Inman Park Animal Hospital is by far the most compassionate and knowledgeable veterinarian practice I have encountered since moving to City of ATL 20 yrs ago.  Dr. Fowler has worked with my animals in years' past and most recently, I took my small dog to Dr Kumar for a chronic condition with variable symptoms that can easily result in death.  I can tell you both of these veterinarians are amazing!  I should also let you know that the techs and admin are SUPERIOR to others (no offense intended) in every way.  I can't remember the most recent tech's name but she was really good about spoiling my girl with love and with a fragile fuzzball, it meant so much to me that she was. And no review of Inman Pk Animal Hospital would be complete without telling you how Dave and Sherrie really make it a pleasant waiting room experience (but never more than 15 mins or so in my experience) even if it's busy and the patients are eager to see their doc!!  These people are in business for all the right reasons from what I have experienced.  I'm so grateful for the services received here.  I drive across town to get the BEST VET care in ATL here even tho there is probably 20 other vets along the drive.  ALL of the staff @ Inman Park Animal Hospital have my utmost respect and gratitude.  Don't hesitate to take your critters here.  I'm confident you will agree with my review.

I started going to Inman park animal hospital with my two cats when I moved to Lake Claire and started taking my new puppy there as soon as we got him. They always provided us with great service. They really earned our loyalty when my puppy needed some emergency medication. They did not have it because it has a short shelf life and isn't often needed, but they had three staff members and a vet who dropped what they were doing to call every other vet office in Atlanta to find it and help us figure out what we needed. One of the staff members then actually went with us to an emergency vet where they were able to locate the medicine to pick it up so that we wouldn't have to go through and pay for a whole new exam at another vet office. They are always a little too busy and a little zany, and it may not be the most organized or quickest place in the world, but none of that matters when you know the vets and staff really love animals, and when it really matters will drop what they are doing to make sure your baby is ok.

I'm really pleased with the care my cat received today. You could tell everyone there cared about her and Dr. Ellard was great. I thought the front desk staff was helpful and I really appreciated that I could set up an appointment over email. I was even happier when they told me the amount due. Extremely reasonable for vaccines and meds and the exam fee was much lower than any vet I've taken her to before.I'll be back and may even consider switching my dog's vet as well! Thank you. Read Less

I'm really glad my friend referred me to this vet. Dr. Kumar is amazing. She has been incredibly thorough and transparent throughout treating our 15-year-old cat, Smokey. She was the one who discovered that he had spleen cancer, which had spread to the lungs. She is intuitive, kind, and, patient. She spells out all of your options and makes sure that you have all the information you need in order to make a decision. Because she offered steroids as an option, Smokey is still thriving, though he has cancer. We never thought he would live this long. It is because of her tenacity and commitment to the details that he is still alive. The staff does get slammed from time to time, but if you're patient with them, you will get to meet the very kind, very talented Dr. Kumar. Read Less

Dr. Kevin came highly recommended by both my groomer and girlfriend when I was searching for a new vet for my puppy. I have taken Ernest Money to them for his vaccines and well puppy care. Each time I am greeted by the fabulous, Sydney, who just ooh's and aww's over my baby. They are professional very caring and reasonably priced. I'm happy to have found them. Dr. Ellard and Bill are also delightful human beings! Read Less

Everyone here is awesome! So good to be able to stay with your pet during exam. Techs are super as well, and Sherry in the front office is lovely and has so many helpful tips. I have a dog and a cat in their care, and they are always willing to talk about the best plan for the long and short term care. They don't over treat and I really appreciate that. Read Less

Absolute Disgrace to the Vet community. You have no business providing healthcare to animals much less trash in the street. I WAS a client of this clinic until this morning when I urgently called the clinic at 9:20 am and explained that I had been at the 24-hour ER vet in Decatur until 1 am (this morning) with my St. Bernard who had knicked an artery in his nasal septum where it had been cauterized, and he was now "bleeding out again, " and I needed emergency help to stop the bleeding because I was alone,  and driving to this POS clinic, which is close to my house, & attempting to compress the nose of a 155 lb dog.  The front desk woman called me back on my car phone and stated, "Dr. So and So, your dog has not been seen at the clinic in a year, and the vet thinks you need to go back to the ER vet". At this point, I started to scream that  "This is a crisis- the dog is bleeding out of an artery in his septum- you have the (simple products) to stop this situation in a matter of minutes to stabilize him!!!" As a physician, I am stunned that these unprofessional idiots (vet & staff) who were made absolutely clear WHAT the problem was (an arterial bleed from the nasal septum), HOW dangerous the situation was (I was attempting to drive alone in morning rush hour and manage a huge animal, in pain and restless,  that they have seen and have records on, gushing blood, which had already lost a great deal of blood, so the absolute welfare and safety of the dog was in question. Their ineptitude at telling me to keep driving another 20 minutes to the prior clinic, which I would have been happy to do had they helped me stop the bleeding, but NO, inexplicably, when I told them that I was in front of their clinic, they told me they couldn't help me. Disgraceful. Inept and I hope my hospital shows your family members more grace and professionalism than you did today. Time to retire you, stupid, heartless, rubes. Read Less

This review is not directed toward Dr. Kumar, our pup's vet. I wish I could give our local veterinary clinic a higher rating, especially with a vet as caring and thorough as Dr. Kumar, but we had a very poor experience. I have never seen staff incompetent, scatterbrained, or poorly organized as with IP's. I brought my pup in for an urgent visit on a Monday morning, right as the clinic opened, and explained my dog's symptoms in hopes of scheduling a walk-in. The receptionist was short and dismissive, loudly deemed the symptoms as kennel cough, which raised concerns of waiting room pet parents, and to my embarrassment, ushered us outside only to insist we come back within an hour. (How does a seizure and cough correlate to kennel cough? It doesn't; and turns out it would have been misdiagnosed.) Back to Dr. Kumar -- she has great quality of care that would allow me to trust her with any beloved pet. I asked for my dog's nails to be trimmed while we were there, and the technician nicked all of her little quicks! My poor girl's paws were bleeding all over the room, yet they still charged a whooping $15 for their shoddy work. One of the ditzy receptionists told me she'd come back to get me after my dog's bloodwork was taken, and I waited ONE HOUR before Dr. Kumar stumbled into the patient room and realized nobody had come to dismiss me. Our comprehensive exam and bloodwork were way more expensive than from previous vets, but that's the price you pay for your sweet pet. Save yourself and pets from subjection to a chaotic and poorly staffed place like this. You might even save some money. Read Less

Dr. Fowler is fine, but this doesn't even begin to make up for how terrible the office staff is and how disorganized they are. I brought my dog once for a wellness exam after I adopted her and after reviewing her records which clearly state she needed a Bortadella shot, they gave her no shots. My fiancé took her so I didn't know about this until much later when we went to take her to doggie daycare. When I called to ask about this oversight I was placed on hold for several minutes and then told I could bring her back for this shot. No apology was given, and they were so rude! They don't send vaccine reminders- like all other vets do, and are cavalier with the health and wellness of your pet. Avoid this vet at all costs and go somewhere where your dog will be well cared for. We now go to Clairmont Animal Hospital and every vet there has been wonderful. Read Less

My dog and I just started coming here and I absolutely love them! Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and talks to owners and pets like they truly care. Sherry is especially helpful, and though they were busy she came out and talked to me one on one in length about a problem my dog was having. I would recommend them to any of my Atlanta friends with pets. Read Less

Dr. Fowler and Sherry are a fantastic team. Love that you get the VIP treatment and are able to go to the back with your pet for a Birdseye view of what's going on. Dr. Fowler always gives a thorough explanation and is very easy to work with. Tech staff and Dave are also awesome! Read Less

I bring my 2 dogs here. I have since I got them. The people are always real nice. This place is always busy, because it's a good reputable place, so don't expect quick in and out service. If you want that, go to that horrible vet inside the big box pet store. U will be sorry to go there though.Dr. Fowler is awesome with the dogs! Thanks so much! Read Less

OVERPRICED FACILITY! My dog is 13 years old, so his seasonal pollen allergies are nothing new. I only use Inman Park Animal Hospital as a last resort when I can't get to my main vet... and this most recent visit reminded me why. I took my dog in to get a simple cortisone shot (or steroid shot, whichever they use to calm allergies) and walked out with a $150 bill! In addition to the office visit fee, the actual cortisone shot and a bunch of other little miscellaneous fees, they also tacked on a procedure I did NOT ask for (because it had just been done by my main vet) AND they prescribed me this jar of useless topical solution that has since done absolutely NOTHING for my dog. On top of all of that, the guy at the front desk had the nerve to try and pressure me into buying this almost $30 bottle of shampoo, before I finally had to say enough was ENOUGH! He was almost coming across as a used car salesman, trying to pitch something to me that I didn't actually need. Again my dog's allergies come and go every year like clock work, so I usually know what to expect in terms of cost. My main vet would have charged me half of what I paid at Inman Park Animal Hospital... and I wouldn't have had to deal with some pushy front desk sales person either. I left there feeling like I had just gotten SWINDLED! It seems as if they care more about making a quick buck than they do about valuing long-term relationships with their customers. Some people have a hard enough time deciding whether they can even afford a vet sometimes. So it's shameful when places like this take advantage of unsuspecting customers and the love they have for their pets. One thing is for sure, I will NEVER use them again, under any circumstance!!! Overall, Dr. Fowler is a good veterinarian and aside from the high pressured sales tactics, the staff is very friendly. However, there are a lot of other animal hospitals in Atlanta with good vets, friendly staff, better facilities and that are LESS EXPENSIVE. Sorry, but they've seen the last of me and my dog. This was ridiculous! Read Less

I just called this place to bring my little furry baby since I'm trying to find a. Ew vet and they placed me on hold for over 10 min. The woman told me to hold and I never heard back from them. I guess I shall move to the next vet place. Read Less

I am new to Atlanta and I am so grateful to have found Dr. Fowler and his staff! My bionic dog (she has a pacemaker) and I made our first visit there this morning. Everyone was so kind! Dr. Fowler was very detail oriented and thorough, and the staff was the nicest of any vet's office I have very visited. Feeling much more settled in Atlanta now that I have such a great place to take care of the kids. Read Less

Let me start by saying that the one time I did see a vet, it was Dr. Fowler, and he was fantastic. His prognosis was spot on, and the manner in which he conducted himself was everything I want in my pet's veterinarian. This review has nothing to do with the quality of pet care administered at this clinic, which from what I experienced was very good. This review is an objective dissection of the shitshow that is the reception process at this establishment. You know the old adRead Less

This little darling has been cared for by Kevin and Sherry since she was 3 months old. She is now 15 years old and just had dental surgery yesterday. I was very nervous, but shouln't have been. Coqui woke up and while still wobbly and punch-drunk, was looking for food and water. Today she is back to her old self. I love this place. Read Less

Let me start by saying that the one time I did see a vet, it was Dr. Fowler, and he was fantastic.

This review has nothing to do with the quality of pet care administered at this clinic, which from what I experienced was very good. This review is an objective dissection of the shitshow that is the reception process at this establishment. You know the old adage, "Fool me once, shame on you..."? Well shame on me for thinking my second experience couldn't possibly be any worse than my first. The first appointment was scheduled over the phone and I arrived 20 minutes early, at the suggestion of the staff I spoke to on phone, to fill out the paperwork and get my dog checked in. I fill out the paperwork, and proceed to sit and wait the forty unexpected minutes before being escorted to a small examination room where I'm made to sit for another 15 minutes. Mind you, my dog doesn't love sitting in vets offices. She gets squirmy, and starts whimpering, and you can tell she can't wait to be done and leave. I then get asked to bring my dog in to another room to see the doctor. Doctor does his thing with skill and compassion like the warm hearted expert he is, and I'm asked to go back to the front to schedule the follow up appointment, and pay the bill.The lady in the front who won't stop referring to every non staff male human as "daddy" - myself included - which was cute the first few times until it became apparent that to this woman I wasn't an individual, but instead just another person who's name isn't worth remembering. She gets called of and disappears while I wait for about ten minutes. She keeps referring to me as "daddy" even through the checkout process while holding a credit card with my name on it in hand. We schedule an appointment for a week later.I, like many, work a 9-5, so my time is valuable to me. I worked from home in the morning so I could bring my dog in for my 11am appointment, letting my team know that I'd be in closer to noon, as my dog seemed improved, and I expected the follow up to be rather quick.I arrive at the clinic at 10:50, where I'm eventually acknowledge by the lady who still refuses to use my name when addressing me. She can't seem to recall me having an appointment. I assure her the reminder card she wrote for me seven days ago is sitting in my car not ten feet away from her confusion. She finds the appointment, and then I proceed to wait until 11:30, where I'm escorted in to the same small exam room, and told I'll be seen right away. At 11:47 I decide enough is enough and I leave. I decide that I'm not going to support a business that has zero respect for it's clientele, and I'm going to hop online and let others know how poorly I was treated twice. If you value your time, and/or your humanity avoid this place like the plague. East Atlanta Animal Clinic might have a waiting list every now and then, but at least they know when you've got an appointment, they refer to you by name, and you're in a room within minutes.

Buddy man dog has always needed a lot of medical care. Dr Fowler is the best out of the three states we've lived in. He's excellent professionally, and from what I can tell, personally he seems very thoughtful, kind, and genuinely cares for the individual animals. That's what you're looking for in a vet, right? He's also done a great job hiring very good staff. Read Less

Dr. Fowler, his staff- Sherry, Dave and everyone else there are THE BEST! We have been family of this wonderful clinic since I first stepped foot into their office 16 years ago. I simply asked to "see their facility" unannounced or /unscheduled one afternoon, and their arms were open wide! Dr. Kevin Fowler and his team were so warm, open and ready to chat/answer any questions I had that day (and every day forward)! They provided the utmost best care for our two dogs throughout 16 and 14 years of our babies' lives! We are just now opening a new chapter in our family life with a puppy... And even though we live 25 miles across town, we are not interested in patronizing any other vet closer to us. We LOVE Inman Animal Hospital like no other! Read Less

I've been taking my dogs to Inman Animal Hospital for over 10 years. Everyone there treats us and our dogs like family and go above and beyond in their care. I am so grateful for these good people. Thank you! Read Less

This is absolutely the best place to take your pet! We have 2 Rotties, and started them both here. The techs and Doctor both make sure the pets are comfortable and they listen to your concerns and answer all your questions. They let you come to the back with your pet, which most places don't , so it's great to be able to do that!! This place gets 5 Stars!!!! Thanks so much Inman Animal Hospital!Read Less

All i can say is thank you!!! Kevin, the doctor was amazing!!! I had never been there before I just moved here not long ago. I Tried (pets are people too) when i first moved here and it was a awful experience !!! Way Over charged and my dog screamed the entire time at that place! Dogs too have intuition. My little Pomeranian can normally be aggressive when he is uncomfortable, but not once did he growl or snap at the vet techs at inman. Because obviously they know what they are doing, and made Little so comfortable! They are amazing at their job! I'm literally in tears right now because I believe inman vet hospital just saved my dog's life. I can't say enough, other than this is the best vet I have ever experienced and my dogs agree! Thank you for making us feel comfortable. First thing when I walked in, so scared, crying, I got a hug from the rep at the front. I really appreciate people out there like you and your clinic that want to help those in need and treat animals like they matter like they are our babies, cause they are. I will never go anywhere else. So many thanks!!!!!! I never write reviews, but i had to because they are so great. So Thank you all at inman vet and God bless! And Little says thanks too! :) see ya soon, hopefully not too soon though! Lol :) Read Less

We LOVE this place. We have two dogs that go here and we've received nothing but amazing care and service every time we go. We've had a few minor emergencies that landed us in their offices at odd hours of the day and they've been so accommodating and helpful! Dr. Fowler is so sweet and gentle with the animals that it puts us and the dogs at ease when he handles them. A+ for sure! Read Less

Dr. Fowler and his staff are so wonderful. We moved across town, but still won't take our dogs anywhere else ... in fact, we joke that if we were to move out of state, we'd still bring our pups back to IPAH every year. I can't express enough how much we love Dr. F and staff. Read Less

We love Dr. Fowler and the whole staff at Inman Park. They are always very sweet to our pups, Marley and Echo, and remember us all by name! By far one of the best Animal Hospitals in the area. Would highly recommend! Read Less
