We have been seeing Dr. Jory for many many years with our cavaliers and were always impressed with the staff and care given. Our cavalier also had seen a cardiologist in conjunction with Dr. Jory for several years with no issues, when our cardio retired I looked to find another cardio and ended up going to Blue Pearl. I have previously mentioned this Dr. Jory that we would be seeing another cardio. Our cavalier went into CHF with fluid while we were in between cardios and Dr. Jory took excellent care of him. We finally got in to see the cardio and there was a med tweak for one of the diuretics Dr Jory prescribed. I came into Dr. Jory's office with our other cavalier the very next day and told him of the change and that they (Blue Pearl) were going to send over their report to him and that they would like to see the radiographs of the fluid so they knew what it looked as he had no more fluid on his lungs. Dr. Jory said nothing to me during that visit about his concerns or anything and I thought that we were just going to continue the way we had done with our retired cardiologist. The next morning, I received a call from his staff informing me that he will no longer see our boy for his heart (the main reason we see him). Our boy is 11.5 years old and has seen Dr. Jory for years. The reason given was that we changed the protocol of the diuretic from the cardio advice at Blue Pearl. Dr Jory would not reconsider even after I pleaded with his staff that I would discontinue using a cardio and use him only. He will not speak directly to me about this and it just came out of left field. I try to do the best for my dog and I thought continuing having a cardio was a good thing. I am hurt that Dr Jory would not even speak to me or reconsider. He and his staff have always told me that he loves his patients like they are his own and I cannot believe this now. To throw an 11.5 year old cavalier to the street because of something he did not like that the cardiologist recommended and not bring his feelings to my attention has hurt me deeply. I am so saddened that he thinks so less of the care of the animal and the care I want to give my cavalier. Now, I cannot take my boy there for anything and my other boy I cannot take there as he has humiliated me and made me feel like I questioned him, which I never did. So, please be aware that you can be tossed aside without a thought or concern for the pet on his whim. I always recommended him and sang his praises but after this I no longer can as you do not know if you will be kicked to the curb like we were. Read Less

My experience with this Vet started with unclear communication, however they seemed to know their stuff medical wise...so I proceeded with their recommendations and major surgery on my cat. They have a weird rule of leaving you out in the waiting room while they take your pet back to do all the tests examinations..in which I didn't like at all. Throughout the experience I dealt with Diana Olsen and also her husband Jory Olsen. My experience with Diana was more positive, she was clear in her communication and timely. Jory on the other hand will not return any phone calls. Perhaps the dropped communication is just a coincidence to the fact that the costly surgery and follow up visits have been paid for and the cheaper maintenance is all that is needed, but I think not. I am very displeased and feel scammed by them. I have since found another vet that has not only the knowledge, but much better communication skills. Read Less

Honestly, I don't recommend this place AT ALL. They're beyond lucky that they interacted with my partner and not me through the process of getting our 7 month old kitten spayed... Because I would have lost my mind on them. We had a veterans certificate to get our baby spayed and were thrilled that this would be a "free" operation due to prior military service. First off, they will try to charge you for any little thing they can write in. They REFUSED to release her without a cone (they wanted $25) which was my first red flag. I've never had a vet demand that before, ever. I've worked with shelters and had cats spayed in the past too. But alright. We figured it wouldn't hurt to buy our own (they're $11 elsewhere) and bring it in. Then, they administered pain medication BEFORE putting her under anesthesia...which they didn't tell us about (another $12) until pick up. Then after the surgery we got a call from "Becky" saying they recommended a 3 day pain med shot which I initially refused saying we've never had a need in the past. Becky said she couldn't release our cat without it...you know AFTER the surgery has already been done. Eventually after some very rude remarks Becky pays for the shot herself which was very nice of her. (19$) Other than that one instance, the staff was incredibly rude and unfriendly the ENTIRE time, talking down on us for asking questions about what else they were charging us for when this was supposed to be a free operation...aftercare questions etc When my partner picked up our cat, she was forced to wait with very rude staff for an excessive amount of time... Then our baby was discharged, she paid and left. When she got home I was given a paper saying our kitten had scored a 5/10 on her "health check up"...with NO EXPLANATION! If my cat is at 50% health... DO YOU NOT THINK I WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHY?! Nothing. No explanation in the slightest. As far as the procedure goes, I DO NOT recommend them either. Our baby is still going into heat which I read is due to tissue being left behind during a spay... And she hasn't stopped shaking since the procedure...despite being kept plenty warm enough. Everywhere I read says it could be part of the cervix sticking or a reaction to pain medication. The poor thing is going back to a better vet in the morning.Read Less

I have been taking my dog to Dr. Banner for two years. She helped me with some very difficult behavioral problems and decisions with Felix. She has also been treating my 14 year old cat. I have had wonderful experiences with her each time I visit. She has never pushed procedures or care on either pet that weren't needed and agreed with me that at my cat's age, it's better to go a very minimal route with her in terms of vet visits and unnecessary immunizations when she is an indoor cat and doing so well. There are times when we have a little bit of a wait in their waiting room, but when they are with us and our pets, they never rush and make sure every question and concern has been addressed. It's not unusual at all for Dr. Banner to spend 1/2 the appointment sitting on the floor petting my dog and talking to him. I have no problem waiting to see her because I know she will never rush me or any of her patients. This week, Dr. Banner and her staff exceeded all my expectations. I found two beautiful lab puppies that had been abandoned. They looked as if they had been on their own for quite awhile. They had no tags and I didn't want to just drop them at the shelter without discussing their situation with someone I trusted. I dropped in with no notice or appointment and explained what had happened to Dr. Banner's staff. They came out to my car to look for microchips and found none. One of the dogs refused to walk and a staff member carried her inside. Dr. Banner offered to look them over at no cost and spent 30 minutes checking them out, giving them food and water and discussing options with me. She gave me two leashes and the name and number of the local Lab Rescue and told me that the nearest shelter wouldn't euthanize them if I left my name. Two of her staff members offered to adopt them if they weren't found homes in the shelter and they all treated those dogs with so much love and were so kind to me and my boys. Dr. Banner and her staff clearly love animals - they are unlike any veterinarian I have ever been to. There is no one else I'd rather care for my pets. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We will be lifetime clients. Read Less

Words cannot express how much I love this office, especially the front desk ladies & Dr. Jory. Dr. Jory treated our husky, Achilles, for a bacterial heart issue for 5 months. Whenever we took Achilles in for his followup appointments, everyone was friendly, and Dr. Jory was patient with our questions, explaining everything to us in a way we could easily understand. Unfortunately, Achilles had a heart attack during one of his followups and never fully recovered. When we came into the office to say our goodbyes, the entire staff was thoughtful and made us feel like we were not alone. I am forever grateful to the work they did for Achilles, and we will bring all of our future pets to this office for all their medical needs.

I just read a previous review from a person who would not bring their animal in for the scheduled one-week post-op visit. It saddens me that there are still pet owners "in healthcare" like this, who actually believe they understand everything there is to know about how these medications work, where they work, and what actual potential there is for benefit after considering each and every risk like the Dr's. Olsen do. A few questions the person "in healthcare" might weigh: 1. Why is your animal growing a fungus? Or more correctly; 2. Why, is your animal immunocompromised? Or more pointedly; 3. What are you doing to your animal, to produce such sustained state of immunocompromise so as to produce a chronic fungal infection? Luckily, by the nature of the commentary, the person most-probably (hopefully) isn't licensed to prescribe. If the person is a non-physician, it is excusable that they might not know Orbifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, like the other fluoroquinolones, is developing high bacterial resistance and has effectively zero chance, of benefit with non-bacterial processes such as fungal, viral or parasitic infections, or inflammatory diseases which can mimic infection. But it is not excusable to threaten an animal's life through willful ignorance, bravado or pretentious pride; even if you "own" that animal. If by chance the Fluoroquinolone antibiotic was able to kill a substantial amount of bacteria (including normal flora), that action of course, would allow for further super-infection of the already known primary pathogen, which was not a bacteria, but a fungi, which Dr. Olsen was able to provide the identification of, and too, the safest course of medical therapies, that being a systemic azole antifungal. I was sad to see that the person would "go to the ends of the earth", ...but bringing her animal in for the scheduled one-week post-operative examination was too far. The animal should not have to suffer this. It is not the animal's fault. I'm so happy Dr. Olsen was able to care for that precious life in the moments he was allowed to. Enough of that. For my review, I'd like to say this. I've been cutting, sewing, saving my share of lives and watching too many die all over this planet for forty years; sometimes, in very bad places. I've encountered five physicians in those forty years that inspired me, some younger than me, some older. The Olsens are two of those five. They're quite younger than I am, but when they speak to me about my pets, I shut up and listen to every word. I'm a humble, thankful old man, that is forever grateful for any appointment my loved ones have ever had with the Olsens. C.

A couple weeks ago I was referred to Dr. Jory Olson, who I was told was an exceptional vet specialist, for my little girl Stella. She has had a chronic sinus infection that at times becomes so severe she ends up with recurrent pneumonia. He suggested doing an endoscopy to find the source of the infection, so without hesitation I spent almost $1,000 for this procedure to hopefully find relief for this little girl. He said the biopsy results would take several days to come back, which I was familiar with since I work in healthcare myself. A few days later I received a call from the office staff who reported that while some of the results are still pending, he was able to determine that she had a fungal infection for which he wanted to start her on Fluconazole, at least until the remaining results were available. Knowing Stella has a history of elevated liver enzymes, I was a little hesitant to give her the suggested dose, which was one pill daily until her post-op follow-up appt 2 wks later, but because I trusted Dr. Olson, I did as he requested. About a week into the medication, that's one week post-op, Stella became very ill. We were up all night as she had vomiting, diarrhea, and developed a wet cough that she typically presents with when she starts getting pneumonia. I didn't sleep the entire night because I was worried about her breathing status. I called out from work and called his office first thing the next morning to try to get her in for an appt. I was told that the only thing available was to drop her off and he would see her when he time throughout the day. I explained that I wasn't comfortable just leaving her in a cage due to her labored breathing and offered to just sit up there with her until he was able to see her. I even asked if she could see Dr. Banner since Olson didn't have time for her and was told that he didn't want her seeing anyone else since she was already under his care. The office staff said she would have to check with him about me waiting with her and would call me back. Several hours went by and I never heard back from anyone.  I called back and asked if I could, at the very least, bring her by for blood work to make sure the Fluconazole hadn't been too much for her liver. I also suggested starting her on Orbax since I was afraid she was getting pneumonia again and asked his staff to ask him if I could come by the office and pick it up. This would've been a tech appt and he wouldn't have even had to take time out of his busy schedule to see her. The staff said they would ask him and call me back. Again, I never heard back from anyone. It was very apparent that Dr. Olson had very little concern for Stella's wellbeing, which was incredibly disappointing considering he was good enough to take my money for the endoscopy. Well, today, I had her 2 week post-op appt that was previously scheduled. They took Stella to the back for her re-check and when I asked if I could go with her they said no and one of his staff sat in the lobby with me to discuss what happened with Stella the week before. They couldn't even put me in a room to talk in private. So, I expressed my disappointment in the way things were handled last week and not being allowed to be a part of her follow-up today. I waited a few more minutes in the lobby before being escorted back to a room to talk to Dr. Olson. He came in and before even discussing Stella's condition told me that I had a horrible attitude for not dropping her off last week. I tried to explain that I wasn't comfortable doing that because of her condition and before I could complete my sentence he told me that he would no longer be taking care of her and he would print her chart for me to take elsewhere. I asked him about the rest of the test results since I did pay almost $1000 for that procedure and he told me I already had them. I tried to explain that I was told some of them were pending and with his pompous arrogant attitude he told me I could read about it in her chart and turned and walked out of the room. I had no intentions of bringing Stella back after this visit today due to the way the situation was treated last week, but I sure did not deserve to be treated like that. Stella is my little girl and I would go to the ends of the Earth to make sure she is healthy and happy, so having her in the care of such an arrogant asshole who clearly had no concern for her wellbeing post-op is completely unacceptable. I hope you think twice before taking your beloved pet to this inconsiderate, unempathetic, self-righteous, pompous asshole who is clearly in this business for money and not the wellbeing of your pet.

We were recommended to Dr. Jory Olsen and the clinic by a friend. The fact we traveled 200 miles to get there should be an indication of how we feel about Dr. Olsen and his staff. 200 miles? Why would anyone travel so far to see a vet? Because Dr. Jory Olsen has earned a reputation for care with small cell lymphoma and his protocol is very cost effective and manageable. The staff is friendly, outgoing, fun loving and comforting; all without trying. They just are these qualities. We witnessed this not only in our interaction with them but while we waited for our cat Reese to have his tests ran and first dosage of medication we saw the clinic team in action. We witnessed them greeting people, reuniting people with their companions and we not once saw anything but the highest level of concern, caring and friendliness towards one and all. If we lived in the area this is the clinic we would be using for our vet needs. They are that good and the prices are very reasonable. Even their recommendation for food was spot on because it was that type of day and we are so grateful for getting good and tasty food not far from the clinic.Read Less

I love this veterinary practice! I've had dogs my entire life, and though I felt my other vets were competent- this is the first time I've felt this level of trust. For the past three years I've used GAVMG for vetting, grooming and boarding (even for long trips).I found them through the rescue group that I got one of my dogs, Digby, from. They had been treating him for a variety of issues and I decided to continue first, because it was convenient- then later, because they were fabulous! One of Digby's issues is "attitude ". He's sweet as he can be, but he's normally stand-offish with people outside of my family, takes a long time to warm up and will even snap if people get too familiar. I've often wished my dogs could talk, but mine communicate in every way possible that they love the staff here. My dogs have always been anxious when they go to the vet, but Digby bounces out of the car when I pull into their parking lot, pulls me into the office and then he smothers Dr Banner and the vet techs with kisses! That's the best endorsement in my view. Recently, I was out of the country and left my other dog, Callie, with my sister. She became ill and was taken to GAVMG. She was treated by both Dr. Becky Banner and Dr. Jory Olsen. They called me overseas several times per day to give me updates until she recovered, then kept her until I returned. When I returned late on a Friday, they even stayed open so I could pick up Callie that day without my having to wait until the next morning. It's the worst feeling when you've got a sick pet and you're away but knowing they're in competent AND loving care helps alleviate that stress. Read Less

There are not enough words to thank the staff at GAVMG. I came in with my 13 year old dog Gauge in October of 2015, because he had gone from perfectly fine, to very sick. I was upset, distraught, and needed help understanding what was happening to my friend. They ran a lot of diagnostics, some which had been sent away and all the while Gauge was on antibiotics and steroids in the hopes that he had a very curable condition. Unfortunately, a week after treatment, Gauge fell ill again, and worst this time. I brought him in just in time for him to have a seizure. The doctor told me that it was time to say goodbye. So in hysterics I said my goodbyes and held my dog's beautiful face as he left this plane. The staff at GAVMG could not have possibly been kinder, more supportive, and gentler with me as I went through this terrible time as they were. Not only did they send me a very heartfelt card with all of their condolences, but months later I received a gift from the University of Georgia that a monetary gift had been made in Gauge's honor. I cannot possibly thank this hospital enough for all that they have done for me and all that they did for Gauge during his last days. A Google review doesn't seem to cut it, but I hope that if someone is reading this wondering if this is the place to bring their very sick friend to, then my answer is a resounding "yes." They will do everything for your pet, and they will do it with love. Thank you again to the staff and doctors for all you do. Read Less

This past Friday night, my dog Cooper became very sick and threw up ALL night. The following morning, I decided to try Greater Atlanta Veterinary Group even though I didn't have an appointment. I showed up right when they opened and was told that they would not be able to take Cooper as they had only one vet (Dr. Becky Banner) on call and they had a vaccine clinic, so they were booked solid. I asked them if there was any way they could make an exception, since Cooper was so lethargic and I didn't want to have to pay a ridiculous bill at the emergency vet. One of the receptionists took pity on Cooper and me and said she would try calling Dr. Banner to see if she'd be willing to squeeze me in. Ten minutes after she called, I was being called to a back office. I thought Dr. Banner would be frustrated since I had added yet another appointment to her busy morning, but she was INCREDIBLY kind to both Cooper and myself. She took the time to fully examine Cooper and explain all my options to me. Not only that, but she cared enough to keep me updated via text all weekend. When I was walking out, I ran into the receptionist who had called Dr. Banner and I told her that I was so grateful. She smiled at me and said that she had tried putting herself in my shoes and wanted to do everything possible to get us in. She was an angel! I couldn't recommend Dr. Banner enough. She was absolutely amazing to Cooper, and I'm so glad to know that he is in good hands when he gets sick! Read Less

I take both my puppies to Dr. Banner. I have not seen another vet there. She is always pleasant and helpful. Sometimes I can get same day appointments and sometimes I have to wait until the next day. She is always gentle with my dogs. The other day my dog had a rash and I wanted to know what I could give her. I called the office and I received a call back within 30 minutes with instructions. My dog seems better but I am still going to see the vet. Everyone seems like they love pets and always play with my dogs when we come in. I never had to wait in the waiting room a long time nor while me dogs were being treated. I was always escorted to the back. Dr. Banner always explains what is going on and what she is doing. They offer regular customers discounts. They have given my puppies free heartworm and flea medicine for months. They are like any doctors office. Some days there is no one there and you are in and out and some days it is crowded with dogs. I am always early and usually seen before my time. Some times they have to get to know the dogs before treating them if the dog is nervous, which I appreciate. Read Less

My experience started out positive but I had to find another veterinarian later on. When you visit, you will be waiting for a very long time. Each time. They typically take your dog/cat in the back, do all of the necessary stuff and then come out and discuss it with you, in the open waiting room. I do not like that I cannot go into a room with the vet and with my animal to discuss his/her issues privately. Also, I do not like that they do tests and procedures on your animals and tell you afterwards. Sometimes people cannot afford to do everything they recommend in one day. Frankly, some stuff they did was unnecessary in my opinion. They also misdiagnosed an eye problem which led to my dog almost having to have his eye amputated. Luckily, an eye specialist saved my dog's eye and stated that the vet should not have given steroid eye drops to a dog with a melting ulcer in his eye. Later, I boarded my dog there and when I returned from vacation, my dog was almost dead because the kennel helpers gave my dog the wrong amount of daily medicine. Lastly, I decided to leave this vet because Dr. Jory Olsen, my then vet, refused to call me back and discuss my dog's bloodwork with me. I called for 3 weeks and even went by there but no phone call was made. Over one and a half years later, I still have not received any calls. I had to find a vet that communicated better and took better care of my animals. Read Less

Dr. Jory and Dr. Diana Olsen are both amazing vets. They have treated all three of my animals (two dogs and a cat) and literally saved the lives my cat and dog. Yes it is expensive when you have a sick pet or just to own a pet at all, but I do feel as though they are willing to work with your budget. They are very knowledgeable and will do what it takes to save/help your pet. I have seen comments on here that say the doctors or rude or insensitive and I have to say that I personally do NOT find that to be true!  They would call every afternoon to give me an update on my dog who had surgery and had to be there for  5 days and tried everything possible to stay within the price we had discussed before my dog (who was VERY sick)was admitted. Then they even had a vet tech meet me after hours to pick up my dog because I had to work. I think the front desk staff is very nice too. They are doing a great job especially when you consider all the animals and people they are dealing with on a daily basis. If you want your pet to be in top noch care then this is the place to be. I know they work hard long hours and have alot of animals to help and I really appreciate all the love and caring they just recently gave my 9 year old dog and they saved her life! Thank you GAVMG!

We have been seeing Dr. Jory for many many years with our cavaliers and were always impressed with the staff and care given. Our cavalier also had seen a cardiologist in conjunction with Dr. Jory for several years with no issues, when our cardio retired I looked to find another cardio and ended up going to Blue Pearl. I have previously mentioned this Dr. Jory that we would be seeing another cardio. Our cavalier went into CHF with fluid while we were in between cardios and Dr. Jory took excellent care of him. We finally got in to see the cardio and there was a med tweak for one of the diuretics Dr Jory prescribed. I came into Dr. Jory's office with our other cavalier the very next day and told him of the change and that they (Blue Pearl) were going to send over their report to him and that they would like to see the radiographs of the fluid so they knew what it looked as he had no more fluid on his lungs. Dr. Jory said nothing to me during that visit about his concerns or anything and I thought that we were just going to continue the way we had done with our retired cardiologist. The next morning, I received a call from his staff informing me that he will no longer see our boy for his heart (the main reason we see him). Our boy is 11.5 years old and has seen Dr. Jory for years. The reason given was that we changed the protocol of the diuretic from the cardio advice at Blue Pearl. Dr Jory would not reconsider even after I pleaded with his staff that I would discontinue using a cardio and use him only. He will not speak directly to me about this and it just came out of left field. I try to do the best for my dog and I thought continuing having a cardio was a good thing. I am hurt that Dr Jory would not even speak to me or reconsider. He and his staff have always told me that he loves his patients like they are his own and I cannot believe this now. To throw an 11.5 year old cavalier to the street because of something he did not like that the cardiologist recommended and not bring his feelings to my attention has hurt me deeply. I am so saddened that he thinks so less of the care of the animal and the care I want to give my cavalier. Now, I cannot take my boy there for anything and my other boy I cannot take there as he has humiliated me and made me feel like I questioned him, which I never did. So, please be aware that you can be tossed aside without a thought or concern for the pet on his whim. I always recommended him and sang his praises but after this I no longer can as you do not know if you will be kicked to the curb like we were. Read Less

My experience with this Vet started with unclear communication, however they seemed to know their stuff medical wise...so I proceeded with their recommendations and major surgery on my cat. They have a weird rule of leaving you out in the waiting room while they take your pet back to do all the tests examinations..in which I didn't like at all. Throughout the experience I dealt with Diana Olsen and also her husband Jory Olsen. My experience with Diana was more positive, she was clear in her communication and timely. Jory on the other hand will not return any phone calls. Perhaps the dropped communication is just a coincidence to the fact that the costly surgery and follow up visits have been paid for and the cheaper maintenance is all that is needed, but I think not. I am very displeased and feel scammed by them. I have since found another vet that has not only the knowledge, but much better communication skills. Read Less

Honestly, I don't recommend this place AT ALL. They're beyond lucky that they interacted with my partner and not me through the process of getting our 7 month old kitten spayed... Because I would have lost my mind on them. We had a veterans certificate to get our baby spayed and were thrilled that this would be a "free" operation due to prior military service. First off, they will try to charge you for any little thing they can write in. They REFUSED to release her without a cone (they wanted $25) which was my first red flag. I've never had a vet demand that before, ever. I've worked with shelters and had cats spayed in the past too. But alright. We figured it wouldn't hurt to buy our own (they're $11 elsewhere) and bring it in. Then, they administered pain medication BEFORE putting her under anesthesia...which they didn't tell us about (another $12) until pick up. Then after the surgery we got a call from "Becky" saying they recommended a 3 day pain med shot which I initially refused saying we've never had a need in the past. Becky said she couldn't release our cat without it...you know AFTER the surgery has already been done. Eventually after some very rude remarks Becky pays for the shot herself which was very nice of her. (19$) Other than that one instance, the staff was incredibly rude and unfriendly the ENTIRE time, talking down on us for asking questions about what else they were charging us for when this was supposed to be a free operation...aftercare questions etc When my partner picked up our cat, she was forced to wait with very rude staff for an excessive amount of time... Then our baby was discharged, she paid and left. When she got home I was given a paper saying our kitten had scored a 5/10 on her "health check up"...with NO EXPLANATION! If my cat is at 50% health... DO YOU NOT THINK I WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHY?! Nothing. No explanation in the slightest. As far as the procedure goes, I DO NOT recommend them either. Our baby is still going into heat which I read is due to tissue being left behind during a spay... And she hasn't stopped shaking since the procedure...despite being kept plenty warm enough. Everywhere I read says it could be part of the cervix sticking or a reaction to pain medication. The poor thing is going back to a better vet in the morning.Read Less

I have been taking my dog to Dr. Banner for two years. She helped me with some very difficult behavioral problems and decisions with Felix. She has also been treating my 14 year old cat. I have had wonderful experiences with her each time I visit. She has never pushed procedures or care on either pet that weren't needed and agreed with me that at my cat's age, it's better to go a very minimal route with her in terms of vet visits and unnecessary immunizations when she is an indoor cat and doing so well. There are times when we have a little bit of a wait in their waiting room, but when they are with us and our pets, they never rush and make sure every question and concern has been addressed. It's not unusual at all for Dr. Banner to spend 1/2 the appointment sitting on the floor petting my dog and talking to him. I have no problem waiting to see her because I know she will never rush me or any of her patients. This week, Dr. Banner and her staff exceeded all my expectations. I found two beautiful lab puppies that had been abandoned. They looked as if they had been on their own for quite awhile. They had no tags and I didn't want to just drop them at the shelter without discussing their situation with someone I trusted. I dropped in with no notice or appointment and explained what had happened to Dr. Banner's staff. They came out to my car to look for microchips and found none. One of the dogs refused to walk and a staff member carried her inside. Dr. Banner offered to look them over at no cost and spent 30 minutes checking them out, giving them food and water and discussing options with me. She gave me two leashes and the name and number of the local Lab Rescue and told me that the nearest shelter wouldn't euthanize them if I left my name. Two of her staff members offered to adopt them if they weren't found homes in the shelter and they all treated those dogs with so much love and were so kind to me and my boys. Dr. Banner and her staff clearly love animals - they are unlike any veterinarian I have ever been to. There is no one else I'd rather care for my pets. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We will be lifetime clients. Read Less

Words cannot express how much I love this office, especially the front desk ladies & Dr. Jory. Dr. Jory treated our husky, Achilles, for a bacterial heart issue for 5 months. Whenever we took Achilles in for his followup appointments, everyone was friendly, and Dr. Jory was patient with our questions, explaining everything to us in a way we could easily understand. Unfortunately, Achilles had a heart attack during one of his followups and never fully recovered. When we came into the office to say our goodbyes, the entire staff was thoughtful and made us feel like we were not alone. I am forever grateful to the work they did for Achilles, and we will bring all of our future pets to this office for all their medical needs. We have also used this office for boarding, and could not have been more pleased. Read Less

I just read a previous review from a person who would not bring their animal in for the scheduled one-week post-op visit. It saddens me that there are still pet owners "in healthcare" like this, who actually believe they understand everything there is to know about how these medications work, where they work, and what actual potential there is for benefit after considering each and every risk like the Dr's. Olsen do. A few questions the person "in healthcare" might weigh: 1. Why is your animal growing a fungus? Or more correctly; 2. Why, is your animal immunocompromised? Or more pointedly; 3. What are you doing to your animal, to produce such sustained state of immunocompromise so as to produce a chronic fungal infection? Luckily, by the nature of the commentary, the person most-probably (hopefully) isn't licensed to prescribe. If the person is a non-physician, it is excusable that they might not know Orbifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, like the other fluoroquinolones, is developing high bacterial resistance and has effectively zero chance, of benefit with non-bacterial processes such as fungal, viral or parasitic infections, or inflammatory diseases which can mimic infection. But it is not excusable to threaten an animal's life through willful ignorance, bravado or pretentious pride; even if you "own" that animal. If by chance the Fluoroquinolone antibiotic was able to kill a substantial amount of bacteria (including normal flora), that action of course, would allow for further super-infection of the already known primary pathogen, which was not a bacteria, but a fungi, which Dr. Olsen was able to provide the identification of, and too, the safest course of medical therapies, that being a systemic azole antifungal. I was sad to see that the person would "go to the ends of the earth", ...but bringing her animal in for the scheduled one-week post-operative examination was too far. The animal should not have to suffer this. It is not the animal's fault. I'm so happy Dr. Olsen was able to care for that precious life in the moments he was allowed to. Enough of that. For my review, I'd like to say this. I've been cutting, sewing, saving my share of lives and watching too many die all over this planet for forty years; sometimes, in very bad places. I've encountered five physicians in those forty years that inspired me, some younger than me, some older. The Olsens are two of those five. They're quite younger than I am, but when they speak to me about my pets, I shut up and listen to every word. I'm a humble, thankful old man, that is forever grateful for any appointment my loved ones have ever had with the Olsens. C.

A couple weeks ago I was referred to Dr. Jory Olson, who I was told was an exceptional vet specialist, for my little girl Stella. She has had a chronic sinus infection that at times becomes so severe she ends up with recurrent pneumonia. He suggested doing an endoscopy to find the source of the infection, so without hesitation I spent almost $1,000 for this procedure to hopefully find relief for this little girl. He said the biopsy results would take several days to come back, which I was familiar with since I work in healthcare myself. A few days later I received a call from the office staff who reported that while some of the results are still pending, he was able to determine that she had a fungal infection for which he wanted to start her on Fluconazole, at least until the remaining results were available. Knowing Stella has a history of elevated liver enzymes, I was a little hesitant to give her the suggested dose, which was one pill daily until her post-op follow-up appt 2 wks later, but because I trusted Dr. Olson, I did as he requested. About a week into the medication, that's one week post-op, Stella became very ill. We were up all night as she had vomiting, diarrhea, and developed a wet cough that she typically presents with when she starts getting pneumonia. I didn't sleep the entire night because I was worried about her breathing status. I called out from work and called his office first thing the next morning to try to get her in for an appt. I was told that the only thing available was to drop her off and he would see her when he time throughout the day. I explained that I wasn't comfortable just leaving her in a cage due to her labored breathing and offered to just sit up there with her until he was able to see her. I even asked if she could see Dr. Banner since Olson didn't have time for her and was told that he didn't want her seeing anyone else since she was already under his care. The office staff said she would have to check with him about me waiting with her and would call me back. Several hours went by and I never heard back from anyone.  I called back and asked if I could, at the very least, bring her by for blood work to make sure the Fluconazole hadn't been too much for her liver. I also suggested starting her on Orbax since I was afraid she was getting pneumonia again and asked his staff to ask him if I could come by the office and pick it up. This would've been a tech appt and he wouldn't have even had to take time out of his busy schedule to see her. The staff said they would ask him and call me back. Again, I never heard back from anyone. It was very apparent that Dr. Olson had very little concern for Stella's wellbeing, which was incredibly disappointing considering he was good enough to take my money for the endoscopy. Well, today, I had her 2 week post-op appt that was previously scheduled. They took Stella to the back for her re-check and when I asked if I could go with her they said no and one of his staff sat in the lobby with me to discuss what happened with Stella the week before. They couldn't even put me in a room to talk in private. So, I expressed my disappointment in the way things were handled last week and not being allowed to be a part of her follow-up today. I waited a few more minutes in the lobby before being escorted back to a room to talk to Dr. Olson. He came in and before even discussing Stella's condition told me that I had a horrible attitude for not dropping her off last week. I tried to explain that I wasn't comfortable doing that because of her condition and before I could complete my sentence he told me that he would no longer be taking care of her and he would print her chart for me to take elsewhere. I asked him about the rest of the test results since I did pay almost $1000 for that procedure and he told me I already had them. I tried to explain that I was told some of them were pending and with his pompous arrogant attitude he told me I could read about it in her chart and turned and walked out of the room. I had no intentions of bringing Stella back after this visit today due to the way the situation was treated last week, but I sure did not deserve to be treated like that. Stella is my little girl and I would go to the ends of the Earth to make sure she is healthy and happy, so having her in the care of such an arrogant asshole who clearly had no concern for her wellbeing post-op is completely unacceptable. I hope you think twice before taking your beloved pet to this inconsiderate, unempathetic, self-righteous, pompous asshole who is clearly in this business for money and not the wellbeing of your pet.

We were recommended to Dr. Jory Olsen and the clinic by a friend. The fact we traveled 200 miles to get there should be an indication of how we feel about Dr. Olsen and his staff. 200 miles? Why would anyone travel so far to see a vet? Because Dr. Jory Olsen has earned a reputation for care with small cell lymphoma and his protocol is very cost effective and manageable. The staff is friendly, outgoing, fun loving and comforting; all without trying. They just are these qualities. We witnessed this not only in our interaction with them but while we waited for our cat Reese to have his tests ran and first dosage of medication we saw the clinic team in action. We witnessed them greeting people, reuniting people with their companions and we not once saw anything but the highest level of concern, caring and friendliness towards one and all. If we lived in the area this is the clinic we would be using for our vet needs. They are that good and the prices are very reasonable. Even their recommendation for food was spot on because it was that type of day and we are so grateful for getting good and tasty food not far from the clinic.Read Less

I love this veterinary practice! I've had dogs my entire life, and though I felt my other vets were competent- this is the first time I've felt this level of trust. For the past three years I've used GAVMG for vetting, grooming and boarding (even for long trips).I found them through the rescue group that I got one of my dogs, Digby, from. They had been treating him for a variety of issues and I decided to continue first, because it was convenient- then later, because they were fabulous! One of Digby's issues is "attitude ". He's sweet as he can be, but he's normally stand-offish with people outside of my family, takes a long time to warm up and will even snap if people get too familiar. I've often wished my dogs could talk, but mine communicate in every way possible that they love the staff here. My dogs have always been anxious when they go to the vet, but Digby bounces out of the car when I pull into their parking lot, pulls me into the office and then he smothers Dr Banner and the vet techs with kisses! That's the best endorsement in my view. Recently, I was out of the country and left my other dog, Callie, with my sister. She became ill and was taken to GAVMG. She was treated by both Dr. Becky Banner and Dr. Jory Olsen. They called me overseas several times per day to give me updates until she recovered, then kept her until I returned. When I returned late on a Friday, they even stayed open so I could pick up Callie that day without my having to wait until the next morning. It's the worst feeling when you've got a sick pet and you're away but knowing they're in competent AND loving care helps alleviate that stress. Read Less

There are not enough words to thank the staff at GAVMG. I came in with my 13 year old dog Gauge in October of 2015, because he had gone from perfectly fine, to very sick. I was upset, distraught, and needed help understanding what was happening to my friend. They ran a lot of diagnostics, some which had been sent away and all the while Gauge was on antibiotics and steroids in the hopes that he had a very curable condition. Unfortunately, a week after treatment, Gauge fell ill again, and worst this time. I brought him in just in time for him to have a seizure. The doctor told me that it was time to say goodbye. So in hysterics I said my goodbyes and held my dog's beautiful face as he left this plane. The staff at GAVMG could not have possibly been kinder, more supportive, and gentler with me as I went through this terrible time as they were. Not only did they send me a very heartfelt card with all of their condolences, but months later I received a gift from the University of Georgia that a monetary gift had been made in Gauge's honor. I cannot possibly thank this hospital enough for all that they have done for me and all that they did for Gauge during his last days. A Google review doesn't seem to cut it, but I hope that if someone is reading this wondering if this is the place to bring their very sick friend to, then my answer is a resounding "yes." They will do everything for your pet, and they will do it with love. Thank you again to the staff and doctors for all you do. Read Less

This past Friday night, my dog Cooper became very sick and threw up ALL night. The following morning, I decided to try Greater Atlanta Veterinary Group even though I didn't have an appointment. I showed up right when they opened and was told that they would not be able to take Cooper as they had only one vet (Dr. Becky Banner) on call and they had a vaccine clinic, so they were booked solid. I asked them if there was any way they could make an exception, since Cooper was so lethargic and I didn't want to have to pay a ridiculous bill at the emergency vet.

They offer regular customers discounts. They have given my puppies free heartworm and flea medicine for months. They are like any doctors office. Some days there is no one there and you are in and out and some days it is crowded with dogs. I am always early and usually seen before my time.

My experience started out positive but I had to find another veterinarian later on. When you visit, you will be waiting for a very long time. Each time. They typically take your dog/cat in the back, do all of the necessary stuff and then come out and discuss it with you, in the open waiting room. I do not like that I cannot go into a room with the vet and with my animal to discuss his/her issues privately. Also, I do not like that they do tests and procedures on your animals and tell you afterwards. Sometimes people cannot afford to do everything they recommend in one day. Frankly, some stuff they did was unnecessary in my opinion. They also misdiagnosed an eye problem which led to my dog almost having to have his eye amputated. Luckily, an eye specialist saved my dog's eye and stated that the vet should not have given steroid eye drops to a dog with a melting ulcer in his eye. Later, I boarded my dog there and when I returned from vacation, my dog was almost dead because the kennel helpers gave my dog the wrong amount of daily medicine. Lastly, I decided to leave this vet because Dr. Jory Olsen, my then vet, refused to call me back and discuss my dog's bloodwork with me. I called for 3 weeks and even went by there but no phone call was made. Over one and a half years later, I still have not received any calls. I had to find a vet that communicated better and took better care of my animals. Read Less

My experience started out well but over the years, the endless (and later found out) unnecessary tests/medicine drained my dogs health and my wallet.  I finally ended up taking my dog to another vet after a very botched surgery.  I would recommend them ONLY for basic care but if tests need to be run or surgeries performed, go find a professional who is trained in these areas.

Dr. Jory and Dr. Diana Olsen are both amazing vets. They have treated all three of my animals (two dogs and a cat) and literally saved the lives my cat and dog. Yes it is expensive when you have a sick pet or just to own a pet at all, but I do feel as though they are willing to work with your budget. They are very knowledgeable and will do what it takes to save/help your pet. I have seen comments on here that say the doctors or rude or insensitive and I have to say that I personally do NOT find that to be true!  They would call every afternoon to give me an update on my dog who had surgery and had to be there for  5 days and tried everything possible to stay within the price we had discussed before my dog (who was VERY sick)was admitted. Then they even had a vet tech meet me after hours to pick up my dog because I had to work. I think the front desk staff is very nice too. They are doing a great job especially when you consider all the animals and people they are dealing with on a daily basis. If you want your pet to be in top noch care then this is the place to be. I know they work hard long hours and have alot of animals to help and I really appreciate all the love and caring they just recently gave my 9 year old dog and they saved her life! Thank you GAVMG!

Excellent service and caring staff.  We took in a stray cat to be checked out and they went above and beyond to help us out.

I have been taking both of my dogs (Peter & Polly), & my cat (Bela) here for around 2 years. The staff & doctors are awesome here!! They are very knowledgeable & caring about your pet's individual needs. They have been able to squeeze us in for emergencies, & have always been accommodating even though I'm sort of a high-maintenance customer that's completely nuts about my pets & I expect the best care for them. Dr Olsen has always been kind, gentle & caring with my pets. I recommend GAVG to all of my friends. They are the best vet hospital that I have found. Read Less
