The staff are always amazing to my dog (and me). They treat him with patience and love. He likes going to the vet to see people who work there, not so much the exam. We are established with them, and they brought my poor dog back from near death experiences twice, and also help me navigate through the world of pet food allergies. We absolutely love this vet and wouldn't take our dog anywhere else! They are very honest about treatment options and testing to be completed and have great customer service. They always call back timely when I have left a message for them regarding any issues with my dog. And whenever I need anything they are very prompt about getting me an answer to my questions. I've recommended them to all of my friends with pets! Read Less

Dr. Lindeman is the most experienced canine dentist in the Chattanooga MSA. She takes great care and precaution to ensure a good outcome. My dog had his teeth cleaned by Dr. Lindeman and her team recently. I was unnecessarily apprehensive going in but everything was fine and I think Woodrow has been showing off his pearly whites more lately. Read Less

Dr. Linderman has been amazing to bring out pets to. She always has a smile on her face and remembers our dogs by heart. The whole staff is extremely helpful and were great about making sure they made time for us when our pup broke her toe. Dr. Linderman is always up to date with procedures and makes sure to make breed specific recommendations. Read Less

We just recently moved to Chattanooga when we noticed our baby Kiba had a broken tooth. We called the staff, got in very fast, and they made the whole process very easy. They were all very sweet to my little man, very knowledgeable about his breed(Shiba Inu), and very patient with me being an emotional wreck. Everyone from the receptionist, vet tech, and the veterinarian were all very kind and attentive. We have found our new veterinarian in Chattanooga. Thank you all so much! Read Less

Dr. Linderman and the staff at Standifer Gap Pet Hospital were kind to my cat and to me throughout the evaluation, surgery, and post-op process. When my regular vet contacted them with the referral, they called me the same day for an initial appointment--and it was a Saturday. They were flexible with the surgery date and with providing overnight boarding the night before, to make the drop-off easier for me. Dr. Linderman calls personally after the surgery to speak to the pet owner. Everything went well, everyone there clearly cared about my cat, and I'm glad her dental needs were taken care of here!

These ladies spent so much time calming Handsome and caring for him. He is a very nervous patient and they took incredible care to not stress him anymore then they had to. The dr did everything they could to calm him and love on him while assessing him. Since this dog is my heart I so truly appreciated everything they did for both of us. Read Less

I took my Dog Grant down to them the first time on Wednesday. I just wasn't happy with the other Vet I was using. I have not felt so good about taking him to anybody else like I did these people. I was more than satisfied with the way that they listen to what I had to say. And show that they do care about your Pet. And I can thank Thomas from Petco for telling me about them. I don't think that I will be using anybody else for a very long time. Thanks To Everyone Who Works There. Read Less

This office is absolutely the best. I have been bringing dogs here for over ten years. They are always professional and so caring with the dogs. The office is clean and well kept. The techs are fantastic and Dr Linderman is very compassionate. I highly recommend! Read Less

One of our small Wiener Dogs developed a fistula on one of canine teeth. He is 11 years old. While I am a strong believer in Dog dental cleanings something can always come up. I got a referral from our vet at VCA Ringgold, Dr. Barbara to take him to see Dr. Katie Linderman. She and her staff did an excellent job. His recovery went well. He got his pain patch and cone of shame off today and he got his "swagger" back. Dr. Katie is definitely the "go-to" Dog Dentist. A special thanks to the staff at Standifer Gap Pet Hospital. Everyone was nice and friendly and my little buddy was not afraid of them. I highly recommend this Pet Hospital for your best friends. Read Less

Dr. Linderman and her whole staff have been nothing but kind and caring since my husband and I moved to Chattanooga in June of 2015. We were completely new to the area and a little nervous about taking our two kitties to a new vet, but we were not disappointed. Everyone took such good care of us and our babies, and were very professional as well. I have found them to be very affordable and willing to work with you on scheduling. I appreciate their love for animals, it definitely shows. I highly recommend them for your pets! They use the safest products to keep your animal healthy and protected. Read Less

We just LOVE our vet. Dr. Linderman is available to answer your questions via phone, email or in person and we appreciate her so much! She truly cares about your pet. The support staff is very friendly and nice to work with as well. Read Less

This office is amazing. They have excellent staff who remember you and your dog. They take care of your pet as if it were their own. I can always call and ask questions and whenever I have needed to get my dog checked out quickly, they have always fit me in that day. Standifer Gap Pet Hospital feels like a family and they are always pleasant and helpful. Even when I come in because I'm worried about my dog "not acting right," they listen and assess my dog. I have to drive 15-20 minutes from where I live to go to this hospital and I have other pet hospitals and offices much closer. They are worth the drive. When my dog needed medication, they had it on hand, in addition to getting my monthly Trifexis there. When my dog needed special food for her GI upset, they had some at the office, and one time they didn't, they gave me an RX to take to PetsMart. They care about you and your dog. They go above and beyond. They will clip claws and offer dental services. I love Standifer Gap Pet Hospital and it will be the place I always go for my dog. Read Less

I have been going to them since 2012 after another veterinarian provided horrible care to my Italian Greyhound after he required surgery. I switched to them at the advice of my mother-in-law, who takes her pugs and cats to them, and have been so lucky to have them care for all my animals ever since. They have always provided excellent, undivided attention to my furbabies. They listen and explain things and provide written instructions. They are wonderful, caring, loving, passionate, and giving people! Read Less

Every employee that I spoke to at Standifer Gap Pet Hospital seemed to love my dog and truly cared about his health. We called and were seen the same day by the veterinarian. We were also new clients and they were still willing to work us in on late notice. They were very knowledgeable and I was given lots of information to help my dog with health issues. I had an amazing experience and will use them again! Read Less

Very patient, compassionate, knowledgeable. My pomeranian is very nervous and "bitey" there, and they are very calm and gentle yet matter-of-fact taking care of him. Staff are very warm and friendly! Dr. Linder man discusses treatment plan options in a collaborative way.Consistently great experience!! Read Less

Our little adopted Huey-Chewie-WoollyBear-Yoda (my hero) stayed quietly on my Papi's bed for the last two weeks before he died on September 15. He left only for potty breaks and though he loved the courtyard he came back immediately for his Daddy. After Pops died, Yoda licked his ear and lay down above Papi's head to guard him. I had to gently remove him as his Daddy was taken away. When I let h down he began searching for him. He is sleeping a lot and obviously grieving, but is getting lots of love from me. He's considering letting me be his Mom. I hope he decides "yes"! Thank you all so much for being a major support to is! EXCELLENT vet Katie and staff. Have brought all my animals here. Katie is a delightful person with great bedside manner and she is a superb diagnostician, Read Less

Had an emergency with our sugar glider Jasper and called and they got us in right away. With the issues that jasper has they tried to get a collar on him, but his neck was too fat. So if we can find some way to do a makeshift diaper for him. That will be a challenge. So anyone that has sugar gliders, I highly recommend this facility. Read Less

Six weeks ago my dog had 4 teeth extracted and one filled by Dr. Katie Linderman. Eight months earlier I had taken Sassy for training to address her aggressive behavior. Anyone trying to touch her or reach to pet her head would receive a growl of warning not to come any closer. She likely would have bitten them. We became loners when walking ? I would take great care to avoid people. Through training, we were able to overcome most of this behavior, but there was still a hesitation to being totally open. One day I asked our trainer to look in her mouth just to see what he thought of her teeth. He immediately saw one tooth was cracked and one was chipped, and said, ?she needs some attention regarding those teeth?. My sister had earlier told me about Dr. Linderman extracting some of her cat?s teeth and how impressed she has been with the results. After the trainer?s observation I quickly made an appointment. When we went for her consultation Sassy was very fearful, not wanting to be touched. She was aggressive towards anyone touching her at all, much less her mouth. With much patience (and no regard for time), I was able to lift her gums enough to let the doctor see that we needed to get to work as soon as possible. Dr. Linderman extracted 4 teeth and filled one and cleaned her teeth for the first time ever. After the first session of dental work, Sassy?s disposition changed wonderfully, showing a remarkable turn ? she was immediately a happier, friendlier dog. Then, after the work had been completed ? we saw a complete 180 ? degree turn in this dog?s personality. She doesn?t meet a stranger anymore. She actually puts her nose into peoples hands to be petted. She has not growled once at someone coming near her or asking to pet her. She sleeps peacefully, and is more playful than she?s ever been. We feel the only explanation for this change is ?the relief from the pain of the cracked and abscessed teeth?. She?s 7 years old, and no one had looked at her teeth for at least 3 or 4 years. The Veterinarian who had been seeing Sassy had her chart marked as ?caution?. We had to muzzle her when we took her for her shots every year. No attempt was made to correct this problem and, no concern that her teeth were not being examined was ever expressed. Sassy is my ?first dog? and I had no idea that such problems could occur. We are so happy now at our house. Sassy is a different dog. We are still training her and working on her being more and more an obedient dog. I have taken her back to Dr. Linderman?s office for a friendly visit twice and she meets all the staff with a happy face. Dr. Linderman says, ?she thinks Sassy is smiling?! I brush her teeth every night and use a pet mouthwash. She is happy to let me do that with no problems. I believe in dental work for animals. They have pain in their mouths just as we do. Thank you Dr. Linderman and staff for giving my dog a new lease on life! I tell everyone I can about this fabulous change in my dogs life in the hope that through the services of Dr. Linderman, their animal too may have a better life. Read Less

Our tried and true old country vet had suggested a couple of extractions for our middle-aged cocker. Sadly, he longer does surgeries himself because of his own age/health. We decided to use this facility because of the ratings here and elsewhere. Long story short, we received a call from ""Dr. Linderman"" asking if we were considering euthenizing our pet because he needed $1500 to $2000 in extractions ""immediately"". What? Sure lady, I thought I'd spend $400 getting his teeth cleaned before I gave him the lethal injection. I explained that we were preparing to relocate to San Francisco, CA within a couple of weeks and did not feel comfortable putting him through that much pain plus a cross-country drive, not to mention the cost so close to such a major move. Asked if she could do only the most severely infected teeth or put him on antibiotics until we could get to CA. She stated she could not and would just wake him up if we could not agree to the extractions she suggested. She even went to far as to state that dogs with abcessed teeth do not respond to antiobiotic therapy the way humans do. She said she would ""try to find a vet for us in CA"" but was worried about being able to find someone as 'qualified' as she was. [In San Francisco??? Yeah right lady!] By the time I arrived to pick up my pet her attitude had completely changed. She handed me his prescription for antibiotics and pain killers and was almost ""syrupy' towards me. Then I found out why. While looking for ""an equally qualified vet"" she found out that the vet who wrote ""9 out of 10 of her 'advanced textbooks' on canine dentistry"" was based in - you guessed it - San Francisco, CA. She lavishly explained how she would love to work with his office in any way and would be glad to speak to him one on one regarding my dog's care. Yeah, I bet you would lady. She was almost drooling on the counter. When I asked about his x-rays, she quickly said, ""Oh, they'll need to do new x-rays when you get there because some of his teeth will probably be cleared up by the antibiotics and won't need to be extracted"" which, as you just read, COMPLETELY contradicted what she said when she was trying to talk me in to thousands of dollars worth of extractions. My guess is that she didn't want someone else, especially the author of so many books on responsible care of canine teeth, to see the x-rays she had taken and tried to rob us with. We're now here in sunny CA and my dear puppy needed exactly 2 extractions, just as my dear old country vet first said. In my opinion, ""Dr. Linderman"" is a predator that preys on emotional pet owners (hence the questions about euthenizing a 7 year old otherwise healthy dog, to make me think of him dying). It's sad that vets like her exist and give other kind hearted vets a bad rap. I suggest taking your dear pet and your dear checkbook elsewhere. Wish I could give zero stars. Best of luck to you and yours! Read Less
