I have been going to Windy Hill Vet for over 10 years and have always had nothing but great experiences.  Dr Rottersman has been unbelievable and has helped me through some tough times with my bulldogs.  I have always spoke glowingly about everyone at that office.  For the longest time I've talked to my wife about switching vets because of the experiences I've had.  So this morning I take my wife's dog in because we were concerned about her having a collapsed trachea and being in distress.  I didn't have an appointment but I felt sure that somehow i would be worked in.  Instead I was told that they had no appointments until next week  She was cold and their was no concern for our dog.  When I asked if Dr Rottersman was in I was told that she was already with an appointment but it was right at opening time and there were no cars out front.  Bottom line is I couldn't believe how I was treated by a place that I have thought so highly of in the past.

I cannot say enough about Dr Hunter and the others at this clinic. I moved 4 days ago to Atlanta for a major job promotion having to leave my family behind initially but having a dying polycystic kidney disease Siamese who if left behind in VA was certain to die under a bed alone due to DH schedule. Our vet there felt euthanasia last Sat might be too soon as she was mid treatment and she rallied on the 12hr drive. Sadly it was a final hurrah and I found myself having to find a vet in an unfamiliar area near where I'm staying with friends to ease her pain and my 2nd day on the job, have her PTS over my lunch hour which was brutal. This cat had been the light of my life and I had only a week to realize she was dying & past saving. Dr Hunter and her tech (red hair-not sure name) were the ***2 most compassionate human beings I've ever met to both my sweet cat and I***They took time to weigh her, administrate meds correctly to help her transition, I spent time with my kitty as I wanted her to never feel abandoned. My VA Vets we're always very clinical even if gentle. Dr Hunter truly cared & I felt worse for her than myself at the end, it clearly affected the staff (kitty wasn't even 9 yet) and that level of compassion will have my other pets coming here when the transfer is complete. My kitty crossed over without seizure or pain and they took a horrible gut wrenching decision and helped make it peaceful and dignified  for us. Only cons-and they are few-are the fees can be high for daily hospital care vs my experience up north and the wait time can be long if you are a work in. However the time and money were worth it for the beautiful and kind service and care they gave my Knibby and I in our time of need. If they ever put people to sleep, I'd let Dr Hunter do my procedure --she's that good. Read Less

My wife and I have been bringing our cats here since June 2016. We moved to Smyrna and took our oldest cat to Banfield and had such a bad experience we found a new place ASAP. WIndy Hill took our cat in as a "new patient" immediately and we have never looked back. My wife and I have adopted two more cats since and also take them to Windy Hill. The vet techs are extremely friendly and make you feel like family even on the first visit. Dr. Hunter is the best cat vet in the business. She handles our cats (even our most dramatic one) graciously and gently. I would not take them anywhere else! Read Less

The employees here are amazing. They immediately know who I am and who my dog is when I call,  and always are on the same page when something is going on (so I don't have to keep retelling each person what the issue is).They always give advice on what is best, provide a ton of resources to help make an informed decision,  and then respect whatever choice I make in caring for my dog. They have plenty of parking and are located right behind the quick trip gas station (You will see a sign).While they are not an all-hours emergency clinic, they are great with working in visits when something unexpected comes up.

I live in Alpharetta, but knowing that my furbies are well taken care of and by the best vet in Metro Atlanta is worth the drive for me. Even when my 5-yr old cockapoo had a sudden stroke, Dr. R was able to put her on two rounds of aggressive medications and she is now 100% back to her old self!

Knowledgeable, prepared and fair. Everything that a good vet should be.Knowledgeable: We took our mini dachshund here to get some teeth pulled, and what a great experience. They knew the specific nuances of caring for our breed of dog. This made us feel very comfortable before the visit.Prepared: Well-staffed. We previously took our dog to a vet in Sandy Springs (Trusted Friend Animal Clinic), and because she was not knowledgeable about our breed, and lacking on-site support staff, our dog ended up in the ER after a bad reaction to some shots. After it was all said and done we were out nearly $800 for a routine shot catch up. If we would have brought our dog to Windy Hill, none of that ever would have happened most likely - and if it did - they would have been prepared with the staff on site to handle the emergency, rather than having to send him to the ER.Fair: They charged us not a single cent over what they quoted us on the phone for the procedure. $350. And they gave him some complimentary fluids to keep him comfortable and reduce his pain while he waited for us to come get him.Top notch vet, earns all five stars. Learn from our mistake: Make sure you take your pet to a place that can handle an emergency if something goes wrong. Read Less

First of all, let me start off with saying I am one of those neurotic pet owners.

Lives up to their motto: Where Caring Comes FirstI have searched high and low in the Atlanta area for a vet for my rabbit and have been very unimpressed, even with the area's well-known "exotics" hospital. Then I found Dr. Rottersman. Despite the fact that she is more of a dog and cat vet, she is still the vet I trust most with my rabbit. She is quite knowledgeable about rabbits, despite the fact she doesn't see tons of them. She is *super thorough* in her exams, she is very thoughtful in her diagnoses, and she takes a ton of time with you and your pet. Despite the fact that she has a packed schedule, you never feel rushed -- she really takes a *ton* of time to make sure your questions are addressed. She has been especially patient with me being that I'm one of those people that has just enough medical knowledge to ask a ton of questions. She also has been exceptionally understanding about my 2 hour round trip to travel to her and has been very accommodating to me in that regard. She is soft spoken and super smart, but does not have an ego. Dr. R and her staff have never once tried to up sell me goods or services. (I realize vets have a business to run, but I find that particular practice very offensive.) Giving your pet good veterinary care is never cheap, but I would say that her prices are quite competitive. My 12 year old bunny and I are very blessed to find such a caring and thorough vet. I highly recommend Dr. Rottersman. Read Less

I've owned rabbits for 25 years, have extensive medical knowledge about them, and have been spoiled by living near some of the most experienced rabbit vets in other states. Here in GA I have looked high and low for a vet to care for my precious rabbit. I've been to the Atlanta area?s well known ""exotics"" hospital and was VERY unimpressed. Neither vet was thorough at all in their exam of my rabbit -- they hardly did more than look into his ears and mouth, they didn't seem interested in my concerns, and tried to up sell me this crazy $35 ""special shampoo"". They didn't even seem all that terribly knowledgeable with rabbits -- they seemed to cater more to birds and reptiles. Dr. Rottersman, on the other hand, despite the fact that she is more of a dog and cat vet, is the vet I trust with my rabbit. She is still quite knowledgeable about rabbits, despite the fact she doesn't see tons of them.

My 12 year old bunny and I are very blessed to find such a caring and thorough vet. I highly recommend Dr. Rottersman. In regards to comments about wait time: Yes, this can happen because Dr. R spends as much time with an animal as the animal needs and thus can sometimes get behind a bit. Also, she is willing to squeeze you in if your pet has an emergency. I personally have never had to wait long at all, but I would be willing to because I know she will spend lots of time being sure my bunny gets the care he needs. Read Less

I have been going to Windy Hill Vet for over 10 years and have always had nothing but great experiences.  Dr Rottersman has been unbelievable and has helped me through some tough times with my bulldogs.  I have always spoke glowingly about everyone at that office.  For the longest time I've talked to my wife about switching vets because of the experiences I've had.  So this morning I take my wife's dog in because we were concerned about her having a collapsed trachea and being in distress.  I didn't have an appointment but I felt sure that somehow i would be worked in.  Instead I was told that they had no appointments until next week  She was cold and their was no concern for our dog.  When I asked if Dr Rottersman was in I was told that she was already with an appointment but it was right at opening time and there were no cars out front.  Bottom line is I couldn't believe how I was treated by a place that I have thought so highly of in the past.

I cannot say enough about Dr Hunter and the others at this clinic. I moved 4 days ago to Atlanta for a major job promotion having to leave my family behind initially but having a dying polycystic kidney disease Siamese who if left behind in VA was certain to die under a bed alone due to DH schedule. Our vet there felt euthanasia last Sat might be too soon as she was mid treatment and she rallied on the 12hr drive. Sadly it was a final hurrah and I found myself having to find a vet in an unfamiliar area near where I'm staying with friends to ease her pain and my 2nd day on the job, have her PTS over my lunch hour which was brutal. This cat had been the light of my life and I had only a week to realize she was dying & past saving. Dr Hunter and her tech (red hair-not sure name) were the ***2 most compassionate human beings I've ever met to both my sweet cat and I***They took time to weigh her, administrate meds correctly to help her transition, I spent time with my kitty as I wanted her to never feel abandoned. My VA Vets we're always very clinical even if gentle. Dr Hunter truly cared & I felt worse for her than myself at the end, it clearly affected the staff (kitty wasn't even 9 yet) and that level of compassion will have my other pets coming here when the transfer is complete. My kitty crossed over without seizure or pain and they took a horrible gut wrenching decision and helped make it peaceful and dignified  for us. Only cons-and they are few-are the fees can be high for daily hospital care vs my experience up north and the wait time can be long if you are a work in. However the time and money were worth it for the beautiful and kind service and care they gave my Knibby and I in our time of need. If they ever put people to sleep, I'd let Dr Hunter do my procedure --she's that good. Read Less

Knowledgeable, prepared and fair. Everything that a good vet should be.Knowledgeable: We took our mini dachshund here to get some teeth pulled, and what a great experience. They knew the specific nuances of caring for our breed of dog. This made us feel very comfortable before the visit.Prepared: Well-staffed. We previously took our dog to a vet in Sandy Springs (Trusted Friend Animal Clinic), and because she was not knowledgeable about our breed, and lacking on-site support staff, our dog ended up in the ER after a bad reaction to some shots. After it was all said and done we were out nearly $800 for a routine shot catch up. If we would have brought our dog to Windy Hill, none of that ever would have happened most likely - and if it did - they would have been prepared with the staff on site to handle the emergency, rather than having to send him to the ER.Fair: They charged us not a single cent over what they quoted us on the phone for the procedure. $350. And they gave him some complimentary fluids to keep him comfortable and reduce his pain while he waited for us to come get him.Top notch vet, earns all five stars. Learn from our mistake: Make sure you take your pet to a place that can handle an emergency if something goes wrong. Read Less

Despite the fact that she has a packed schedule, you never feel rushed -- she really takes a *ton* of time to make sure your questions are addressed.

I've owned rabbits for 25 years, have extensive medical knowledge about them, and have been spoiled by living near some of the most experienced rabbit vets in other states. Here in GA I have looked high and low for a vet to care for my precious rabbit. I've been to the Atlanta area?s well known ""exotics"" hospital and was VERY unimpressed. Neither vet was thorough at all in their exam of my rabbit -- they hardly did more than look into his ears and mouth, they didn't seem interested in my concerns, and tried to up sell me this crazy $35 ""special shampoo"". They didn't even seem all that terribly knowledgeable with rabbits -- they seemed to cater more to birds and reptiles.

Also, she is willing to squeeze you in if your pet has an emergency. I personally have never had to wait long at all, but I would be willing to because I know she will spend lots of time being sure my bunny gets the care he needs. Read Less
