The team at Apalachee Ridge Animal Hospital is fantastic. We recently moved to the area and needed a new Vet for our aging pets. Having only been seen one time in office, they were wonderfully supportive through the process of losing 2 of our 3 pets within a three week timespan. They supported us through some really tough decisions, even coming to our home at the end of one of our pet's lives. They treated us with such compassion during a very difficult time. We have continued to see them for our remaining aging pet, and we know she's in good hands! Read Less

We just adopted a basset Hound.  We haven't have a pet in many years so finding the "right vet" was troubling to us.  Dr Fish was recommended to us by a dog trainer.  We were able to get an appointment same day.  Dr Fish and the staff were so nice and gentle with our senior dog. They even called us the next day to check on her.  We have truly found our vet. Read Less

I just moved from Florida and they directed me to their location that was closer to my home.  That day, the aviary vet (Dr. Fish?) just happened to be in, and took good care of my cockatiel. He went right to her! As if he knew why we were there because he really was in pain. She removed his 3 blood tail feathers, and they followed up by phone call AND with a card. Everyone was very pleasant, professional, and welcoming. I highly recommend this place. Read Less

Dr Wanchick and his staff are all very dedicated, talented and caring professionals. They have provided our aging cats the best of care in both critical situations and normal office visits. We have trusted them for years Read Less

Had our first visit today with our new puppy for vaccinations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with happy front office personnel. Our vet tech was Caylin and she was extremely friendly and very attentive. We saw Dr Evans and she took the time to explain everything we need to know about owning our first puppy. She was extremely thorough in answering all my questions and I never felt rushed. They took very good care of our sweet puppy. We will definitely be returning! Read Less

Everyone was absolutely wonderful! I am so thankful for their friendly customer care and their patience! My son is slightly developmentally delayed and Dr included him in everything! Made my heart swell with joy!!! Read Less

I've been taking my dogs there for years, the staff is so sweet and always call the day after any appointment to check on my pets, even if it was just a nail trimming. They are always honest and I trust them to take care of my senior dog as well as my young dog. Update- I continue to be impressed with this team. They are so friendly and sympathetic when your dog isn't well. My dog had a minor emergency yesterday and they saw him immediately. I am comforted knowing that if anything ever goes wrong with my pet, this team is there to help. Read Less

Awesome people!!!!!! My first time there and was very impressed!!! Found out exactly what was wrong with my baby doggy since the week before Banfield hospital missed it! I am sooooo happy to find a NEW vet for my baby! Yea!!!! Read Less

We have been bringing our three little dogs here for several years and have always had excellent service! Everyone is knowledgeable, friendly and really seem to care. Their prices are very fair as well. They always call the next day to check on my little ones which is really sweet! I also love that they send me reminders when it's time for my dogs' check ups!

My kitty had to be admitted, sedated, and treated unexpectedly - the team who handled us and our kitty was amazing! Everyone is so empathetic, professional, and knowledgeable, they truly made the experience easier to endure! 5 out of 5 stars! Read Less

I could not be happier with the attentions received at the hospital. The receptionist, technicians ,and the medical staff give their very best. They answer my questions regarding treatment, and take their time to do so. I feel confident that Minnie is receiving the best care. Read Less

Dr. Fish and the staff here are amazing! We have been using Dr. Fish for a few years and and we trust her completely. She is the kindest most compassionate vet we have ever met. We have complete confidence in her and the staff. Read Less

Cooper is a 10 week old stray puppy who found us on Saturday. Covered in mange and scared to death, he hung out in our kennel thru the rest of the weekend. We carried him to the folks at Apalachee Ridge to make sure he was healthy and what we needed to do for him. We could not have asked for better care and advice from a caring and professional team. Cooper has a long way to go but is making great strides and is as sweet as can be. Thank you. Read Less

I have been going to Apalachee Ridge since we had our dog and I never had any issues with this hospital. Even when I know my dog is a hand full but they still take care of him very gentle. This hospital is the best hospital around in Dacula that knows what is best for your dog. Even if there is emergence they will help as much possible what they can in their power. I love this place and I would recommend this hospital for their pets wellness.Read Less

Our family has used Apalachee Ridge Animal Hospital for several years. I have taken dogs and cats to Dr. Wanchick and he's always helped each one of them. I just had our new adopted dog in to see him and we got a great report. I appreciate everyone at the office. Thank-you to everyone at Apalachee Ridge. Janet W. StamperRead Less

I have been taking my 4 furbabies here for quite a few years now. More recently, to save money, they've become my back-up vet. But all that means is mine get their rabies shots at a military base. :)  My 3 chiuahua's don't necessarily enjoy coming here but they don't mind either. They are treated with care, consideration, and affection. The staff is also willing to make alternate recommendations if I can't afford something. They send reminders so I don't forget, and work with my schedule. Love coming here!! Read Less

I have been here about 3 times now. The vet has always taken their time with us. I appreciate that we aren't rushed and questions are welcomed. The technician the last visit was Sarah. I was totally impressed. One of my dogs is shy and a little fearful. Previous offices are quick to muzzle her but Sarah and Dr. Warchick didnt. They took their time and gave my dog treats until she was comfortable. Sarah was upfront with what was offered and the prices and allowed us to pick what we needed. I will go back. One of the best vet offices I've been to. Read Less

When someone recommended me to come to this vet, I didn't expect the experience to be so wonderful and positive for my dog and me. Everyone is so welcoming, loving, and always willing to help. I haven't had an issue that they weren't willing or able to help with. I would definitely recommend this vet to all of my pet-loving friends Read Less

I deliberately took several hours to calm down before writing this review.  I didn't want to sound crazy or like I've overreacted - otherwise you or even this vet would not take this negative review seriously.  If I could give this vet zero stars, I would, because no customer or pet parent should ever feel the anger and hurt that I felt this morning after an appointment.  I literally was crying all the way home, sat in my car and cried even more before I could bring myself to come inside to face my family inside who I know would ask and wonder what was wrong with me.  Here is what happened: I took my 3 cats to this vet 2 weeks ago for their annual vaccinations which cost me $666 (I know, I should have seen this total and ran!).  While I was in the examination room with my cats, the vet and tech were there and told me that I would need to bring all 3 cats back in within 2 weeks for a follow up booster shot as one of their vaccinations was a 2-part vaccination.  Then they said that this visit would be a quick, in and out, and that there would be no charge for this second visit.  I took my cats in this morning for the 2nd booster shot and then they checked me out saying that it would $84 for today's vaccinations.  I explained that I was told during the last visit that there would be no charge for this 2nd visit, to which the front desk assistant said that they never do vaccinations for free.  She asked if maybe something was done incorrectly and that was why I was offered free vaccinations this time, to which I was honest and said no, they didn't mess anything up, but they did tell me that for this 2nd visit, there would be no charge.  She continued to just say that they don't have any sort of special going on for free vaccinations and that they would only offer free vaccinations if they made a error.  I asked if she could talk to someone about this because I was not making this up or looking for a free anything and that I was only frustrated because I was told this and now I owe $84!  She said she would talk to who helped me during the previous vet visit, but still had me pay $84.  I felt so taken advantage of and conned.  I truly feel like I was overcharged for the first visit, but now to get charged another $84 when I was told that it would be free just disgusts me.  I am so hurt and angry - none of this would have even happened or mattered if during our first visit, I was never told that for the 2nd visit there would be no charge.  I felt lied to and deceived.  I had my husband cancel my dog's grooming appointment in April when we got home and I received a call about 15 minutes later from the front desk assistant who left a message telling me that she had spoken to the tech that had helped me on the first appointment and she clarified that that tech told me that there would be no exam/office charge for the follow-up/2nd visit.  If that was the case, as much as that tech would be sure to tell me that there would be no exam/office fees for the 2nd visit, she should have also felt compelled to clarify that there would still be the charges for the follow-up booster shots.  I understand that it was probably a mistake, the tech probably didn't mean to mislead me - but SHAME on Appalachee Ridge Animal Hospital for not having the integrity to see that the statement "there won't be an exam/office fee/charge for the 2nd visit" would lead a customer to think that the follow-up booster shot to the first round of vaccinations was free.  That's like me coming over to fix an appliance, charging you a ton of money, telling you that I will need to come back next week and that this 2nd visit will be quick with no labor charge, then when I do come back, surprise you by charging you more money and when you dispute what I'm charging you for, I explain that there was no charge for labor, but that the charges are for installation - WTF!  I am so hurt and no one, no human being should ever feel this angry, disgusted, or heartbroken.  As a human being I'm hurt - it's not even about the money.  It's the principle, I felt lied to and cheated.  Don't come here unless you can afford to pay more than what you're getting and don't come here if you can't stomach getting your heart broken and being misled.

Apalachee Ridge Animal Hospital is a great place to take your pet. The staff and both doctors are very caring and very knowledgeable. I have been taking our dog Ivy there for one year. My daughter has been taking her two pugs there for many years. If you are looking for an Animal Hospital, look no further because this place has it all. Read Less

I have been taking two of my three dogs to Apalachee Ridge for over a year for routine visits without any issues. My most recent experience was not so pleasant. I was out of town when my third dog became ill. She is a senior rescue who developed a sudden eye problem. She was in pain and had to be taken into the vet immediately. My roommate took her into see Dr. Wanchick who did the initial evaluation.He suspected glaucoma was the issue with her eye and also discovered what he believed to be a tumor on her hind leg. He then took a sample of cells for testing and referred her to an eye specialist who confirmed the diagnosis of glaucoma. This is where things took a turn.Dr. Wanchick was horrible at communication from this point on. My poor dogs eye could have ruptured at any moment and he couldn't even return a phone call. I understand he was waiting on the cell test results from the tumor to move forward with his treatment but he did not offer any comfort. I was several hundreds of miles away and did not know the severity of my dogs condition.I received a voice-mail three days later  from the Dr. Wanchick that her tumor test results were back. We proceeded to play phone tag for the next three days until I finally got in touch with him. He gave me the diagnosis which was that my dog had a stage two mast cell tumor. He told me he would call me back the next day with a treatment plan! The next day! So my roommate went up to the office in person to request a treatment plan by the end of the day. Dr. Wanchick delivered alright. A $1600 ESTIMATE!The next day I once again tried to contact Dr. Wanchick to ask about further testing and scheduling surgery. I had to leave a message again with the receptionist. It was a full 48 HOURS before he returned my call! By the time he called back my dog was already in surgery at another vets office. It was amazing how fast they could treat her and get her into surgery when Apalachee Ridge wasn't able to.The Lawrenceville Animal Care Center charged me HALF of what Dr. Wanchick  had estimated. Not to mention communicated 100% better and truly cared for the well being of my sick dog.Long Story Short:DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR HARD EARNED MONEY--Your animals will thank me. Read Less

Started using this vet last year, very pleased with Dr.'s and staff,but the groomer is the least trained groomer I have ever used,  my two dogs are so hacked up, beware of their groomer, she is horrible. Read Less

My dog hasn't been eating for a few days so we took her to an emergency vet last last night. When we called her usual vet (Apalachee) to make an appointment, they had read over the fax from the emergency vet and were about to call us! I love that. They do a good job and they care. Read Less

We just started taking our dog to this vet this year when we moved into the area.  The vet and staff were very friendly and the place was calm and clean. I always want to make sure my vet has experience with my dog's breed and was sold when he showed me pictures of his own former and current great danes! Read Less
