South Franklin Animal Hospital

Dr. Sammons and her staff are amazing! Thanks to her team, my puppy LOVES going to the vet. The entire team is incredibly attentive and really care about the individual pets they see. Dr. Sammons is easily the best vet I've ever taken a pet to, and SFAH is wonderful! Bear can't wait to go back. Read Less

Dr. Cheryl Sammons is a wonderful vet. They have taken care of 4 different dogs for me including palliative care for an elderly dog and shots for puppies. The office is an hour from home and well worth the drive. I trust that Dr. Sammons and her staff will take excellent care of my animals because they genuinely love them. Read Less

I couldn't possibly ask for a more knowledgeable vet, more empathetic and compassionate staff or simply more caring people than I (and Tillie) get with South Franklin. We are thrilled they are helping us navigate our journey and they do it respectfully and wonderfully. Read Less

South Franklin has been awesome to us! They treat our baby, Emory, like he is a member of their family. Like many, I am not able to stay home and administer the afternoon medicine that Emory needs so I take him to 'daycare' at South Franklin so he can be watched and get his mid afternoon medicine. We also have been able to have open communication regarding his well being. We have been very fortunate to have South Franklin Animal Hospital. Read Less

Cheryl L. Sammons DVM WARNING: Review for South Franklin Animal Hospital in Franklin TN. After my adventure there I would give them a minus 10 rating. We rescued our dog Church 8/30/2014. Somehow this vet was involved in his care. Hannah Smith LVT suggests bloodwork along with his shots... so they "can really see what is going on" Cost will be $280 plus his heartworm medicine. I Mentioned that I didn't have that amount of cash with me that I would have to go home and get checkbook. I was there for monthly heartworm medicine which is $22 and a check of eyes and ears. Church goes with Hannah Smith LVT for lab work. Hannah Smith LVT had also tried to get me to sign up for a "plan" they had "just started" for X amount of dollars a month.....which sounded like a ploy to pay $50 a month plus medicine, to help pay their bills, when all I needed was $20 a month medicine. Plus my boyfriend was furious that they talked me into lab work by scaring me. I had called him crying, when Hannah Smith LVT took him back for exam. He said "please go back there and stop them and bring him home." She eventually brings him back to me in exam room. Never did she say "go ahead and get your checkbook (so we can try to scam some more out of you) and he'll be done when you get back."***Tag team match begins as vet Cheryl L. Sammons DMV appears and gives Church some kind of rawhide looking thing. I stopped her as she dropped it and said he is only allowed food as he has a sensitive stomach. Vet replies that it is good for his teeth as he has gingavitis. ***Every month that Church is groomed (not there) I was told by groomer that his teeth and gums are great for an older dog*** Now I realize vet did it was to make his gums bleed which they did and have never done before. She didn't give him any water, I now assume it's because she wanted me to panic, watch him bleed then agree to a $357 dental cleaning.Meanwhile I am emotional at the thought of his bloodwork results. ***I have been through cancer myself along with my last two dogs, who didn't survive. I definitely had a nervous stomach.*** Cheryl L. Sammons DVM starts another sales pitch where the tech left off. The old fashioned up sell tactic. My shampoo wasn't "good enough" but the vets was. ***I didn't ask price, because my groomer never said my shampoo wasn't good enough.*** Vet says she put something in his ears and some drops in eyes. Church has never had tear stains so I did think the smell of a newly installed $3000 wood fence may have irritated them. Her estimate is Church needed Phycox-Max soft chews for the gingavitis (that must have appeared since his last grooming?) for $55. Epi Optic Advanced $18. Mometamax for $33. -Gentocin Durafilm $38. They knew I didn't have the money for all that and was told to come back when I did to pick those items up AND she added in a dental cleaning for $357. They thought they had a sale while telling me what I needed to do. ***She is still trying to close the sale. I explained that financially I could not spend $784.94 AND she gave up when I got teary eyed while still petrified of the bloodwork results. There is more that happened at the cashier desk and I was horrified at what the vet screamed at me in front of the waiting room. You can private message me for further info if you wish. When someone tells you "crack is whack" believe them Read Less

Every time I need something for my dogs, the South Franklin Animal Hospital will charge me a "checkup" ($49 each )fee to "to make sure " they can do what I need for them . Now I need the immunization ($100 for both) so I can have them grooming but in order to have that done I have to pay another $100 for checkups . Its not first time when that happens. I ask nice if I can bring them just for immunization (I cant afford to pay $300 (Checkups/immunization/grooming) and no, they need checkups!!! Ugh, they will not even look at my dogs without paying that fee, no matter what they need. Read Less

Everyone who has taken care of my pups at South Franklin Animal Hospital has been kind and caring and knowledgeable. This is the first vet's office that my adopted rescue pups haven't been scared to visit. That means a lot to me. Read Less

Had an issue with this office on getting the autopsy results for my cat. Naturally I was upset having to wait almost a week after the vet had gotten the results back from the lab. I was told on a Wednesday that I would be receiving the results that night or the next day but was not able to get them till the following Monday. I expressed my frustration to two employees who did not seem sympathetic at all and later received a phone call from the doctor using profanity and stated my sister "showed her ass" in her office. My sister and I were to upset to answer at the time so we had a friend answer so she made that statement to a complete stranger. Very very unprofessional. Read Less
