100% worth the trip. One of my dog's tricks is eating grass, throwing it up and getting a blade of it stuck in his sinuses, cutting off his airway. He pulled off this humdinger one Saturday afternoon and there weren't any local vets who had the tools or staff to fix it, except for one that really, really likes money. Before taking him to this hospital, I made some desperation calls and discovered LAH. They assured me they'd stay open for me to make the drive from Vinings. They did.... and about an hour after they'd officially closed, my dog was out of surgery. Afterward, the vet took time to sit down and describe the condition that had caused this situation to begin with, rather than ushering me and my now much-happier dog out the door. The bill came to $180, when I'd paid around $300 to have the same procedure done by a vet in Canton earlier in the year.Turns out Zeke's favorite trick was in his repertoire due to an elongated palate that was occupying most of his throat, so I scheduled a return visit to LAH to get that fixed. Surgery was rough on the lil' punk and Dr. Wright ended up TAKING HIM HOME with him for the night to keep an eye on him. Zeke shacked up with the doc that night and was breathing much better within a couple weeks (and has been ever since). They charged about $800 for the surgery, which was exactly what they'd quoted and significantly cheaper than any other vets I was able to find.They've got some high-tech stuff (including a laser), they stayed open late in a pinch, the doctor took my dog home with him after surgery and they charge less than their competition. If I lived closer, they'd be my dog's regular spot. As it is, I'm making the trip to Lithonia if/when anything major comes up on the dog front. Read Less
