When we moved to Nashville from Williamson County, looked on-line for local vets. Am so greatful the great folks at Parker's Paws were not 3 blocks from us. Can not say enough PRAISE for Dr. K and the rest of the vets, the tech's and staff there. Our baby-dog Sadie has been under the BEST care there. Now that we have moved about 100 miles to the east of Nashville -- YES, we will be back with our baby dog for care, check-ups, etc. Y'all ARE THE BEST PEOPLE EVER ! Thank you !

Wonderful staff!!!!! I had to bring a friend's dog here while I was pet sitting who broke 3 teeth. The staff was able to work with me as well as communicate with the dog's owner overseas to discuss procedure and estimates. Seamless process and even called me to check on the dog 24 hours after she had the teeth removed to make sure she was OK. The surgeon was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does!

Her staff are always on top of things, from the first phone call scheduling to care while in the office. The facility is clean, efficient and very welcoming. It has plenty of parking and easy assessable.

I wish I could give 10 stars!! I had to bring my sweet Presley in for a visit. She was not feeling well and was 17. Dr. Epstein was AMAZING!! I walked in with Presley and they took us to a private room immediately. I did not have an appointment. He spent time checking Presley out and unfortunately, had to deliver bad news. Although, he had other patients waiting on him, he did not rush and sat down in the floor with us to discuss our options ( I have tears rolling down my face as I am typing this). I know he was trying to buy us some time by sending us home with pain meds for Presley, but they did not last long and I had to take her to an emergency vet that evening. So far, that has been the worst day of my life (it was 13 days ago today). Dr. Epstein and his staff are exceptional. Their kindness was genuine and much appreciated. I have had to put down dogs in the past and have never received such warmth as I did from this place. I got the most touching sympathy card hand written from Dr. Epstein. I will never go any place else.

I absolutely love all 3 of the vets and the entire staff. They are really good with my kitty, take their time, and are thorough in their examinations. They truly care for the animals. Also whenever my kitty has been sick, they follow up with me and it is usually the doctor (which makes it so much more personal). I am very particular about veterinarians and who I take my kitty to. As long as we are in Nashville we will be bringing our kitty to Parker’s Paws! I highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for a vet or not happy with their current vet. Parker’s Paws is truly amazing!!!!!!

Oh how I love this place. My new furry forever friend and I come on regular visits and when I was concerned she was not feeling well. The entire staff is warm and greeting and could sense my concern. They were very helpful and called the next day to check on us. So thrilled to have them close and opening up appointments when needed. On our first visit I was asked about what my little friend ate and her rituals. I was told that making my own doggy food was not getting her enough bone meal. They gave me some hard copies of recipes and instructions on what to buy and articles on what was not complete in her diet. Thank goodness they asked! They stay busy for a reason. There are Saturday appointments available. The rooms are all clean and there is parking next to the building and across the street.Also their prices seem to be lower than my last vet in Belle Meade who used to be significantly less. Thank you Parkers for being there for us. We have learned a lot.

What a wonderful staff!! My cat has had an ear infection for the past three days, and I recently moved to Nashville (so we didn't have a set veterinarian). I looked up a few places, and Parker's Paws was the best rated! I gave them a call in hopes they can squeeze me, or make an appointment.. and they fit me in that same day! I was able to do all the new patient paperwork over the phone, and they even got a hold of my cats records from the previous veterinarian without having to worry about paperwork, and such! Dr. Klapheke was super nice, and caring. She made time to look at my cats ear infection between her two morning surgeries, and no wait time at all! The best thing is that I didn't feel rushed because she had prior commitments which was incredibly nice! They treated my cat immediately, and gave me thorough after-treatment information. What was even great was the cost. The appointment was inexpensive, compared to most places, as well as the solution/treatment. I have definitely found the right place for my cats, and I'm extremely happy with the care they provide.

So grateful to the entire staff for making my first experience at Parker's Paws so wonderful. They took on a very reluctant patient in Smokey the kitten after he was humanely trapped. The staff didn't know me at all but treated me and Smokey like old friends. Five days after bringing him in for a full vetting he was purring and snuggling one of the Jamie's (there are 3!) like they were best pals. Thanks to their care Smokey is successfully with his foster mom who already says she is keeping him forever. Awesome experience!

I absolutely love all 3 of the vets and the entire staff. They are really good with my kitty, take their time, and are thorough in their examinations. They truly care for the animals. Also whenever my kitty has been sick, they follow up with me and it is usually the doctor (which makes it so much more personal). I am very particular about veterinarians and who I take my kitty to. As long as we are in Nashville we will be bringing our kitty to Parker’s Paws! I highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for a vet or not happy with their current vet. Parker’s Paws is truly amazing!!!!!!

Oh how I love this place. My new furry forever friend and I come on regular visits and when I was concerned she was not feeling well. The entire staff is warm and greeting and could sense my concern. They were very helpful and called the next day to check on us. So thrilled to have them close and opening up appointments when needed. On our first visit I was asked about what my little friend ate and her rituals. I was told that making my own doggy food was not getting her enough bone meal. They gave me some hard copies of recipes and instructions on what to buy and articles on what was not complete in her diet. Thank goodness they asked! They stay busy for a reason. There are Saturday appointments available. The rooms are all clean and there is parking next to the building and across the street.Also their prices seem to be lower than my last vet in Belle Meade who used to be significantly less. Thank you Parkers for being there for us. We have learned a lot.

Best Vet I've ever been to. Dr Sloan was extremely patient with us while breaking down a treatment for our pet and taking time to make a decision. The vet was not rushed and there was no pressure at all. Absolutely amazing, went above and beyond and we will always come back and recommend to everyone we know.

What a wonderful staff!! My cat has had an ear infection for the past three days, and I recently moved to Nashville (so we didn't have a set veterinarian). I looked up a few places, and Parker's Paws was the best rated! I gave them a call in hopes they can squeeze me, or make an appointment.. and they fit me in that same day! I was able to do all the new patient paperwork over the phone, and they even got a hold of my cats records from the previous veterinarian without having to worry about paperwork, and such! Dr. Klapheke was super nice, and caring. She made time to look at my cats ear infection between her two morning surgeries, and no wait time at all! The best thing is that I didn't feel rushed because she had prior commitments which was incredibly nice! They treated my cat immediately, and gave me thorough after-treatment information. What was even great was the cost. The appointment was inexpensive, compared to most places, as well as the solution/treatment. I have definitely found the right place for my cats, and I'm extremely happy with the care they provide.

I had to go to this facility under horrible circumstances. I bought a puppy the day before, and he didn't make it over night. The staff was very very sweet, and you can not put a price tag on the bit of relief they gave me on what you can imagine was a nightmare situation.

I could move across the country and I'd still want to travel to Parker's Paws for veterinary care. They take care of my cats with care, compassion, and patience. You can tell how great they are not just by how well they treat their animal patients, but how well they treat each other (they're always all smiles!) and their human clients.

Parkers Paw is hands down the BEST veterinarian I've ever worked with. I am so thankful for their staff's expertise and without them, my precious pup wouldn't be here today. I wouldn't trust anyone else after the experience I've had with Parker's Paw. The price is more affordable that any vet I've worked with and quality of care is top notch! Parker's Paw is the best!

Dr. K and Dr. Stephens take excellent care of my dogs. Because of Dr. K's diligence, we discovered my dog, Riley's, prostate cancer earlier than normal. I was able to have a few extra weeks with him. They were there for me every step of the way with him when he was starting to decline. They are an amazing staff and I only trust my pack to them.

So grateful to the entire staff for making my first experience at Parker's Paws so wonderful. They took on a very reluctant patient in Smokey the kitten after he was humanely trapped. The staff didn't know me at all but treated me and Smokey like old friends. Five days after bringing him in for a full vetting he was purring and snuggling one of the Jamie's (there are 3!) like they were best pals. Thanks to their care Smokey is successfully with his foster mom who already says she is keeping him forever. Awesome experience!

Dr. Klapheke and her team are the best! She's been my vet since 2005, and her compassion and conservative approach to never doing things which aren't in the animal's best interest have allowed my family to save more fur baby lives, by keeping those bills reasonable. Love this place and staff!

Dr. Stephens and staff are the best! Clean and friendly environment with charm! I love all the local art work on the walls in clinic and the modern decor. Dr. Stephen was very knowledgeable & informative; I like the personal notes & instructions printed ( covers everything we talked about and more) off with the itemized bill at the end of the exam! She and the staff were great handling my two furry children, FB dog and orange tabby cat. I highly recommend.

The most wonderful clinic on the planet with the most loving, compassionate, caring and knowledgeable staff on earth! I am truly blessed to have such fine doctors as Dr K and Dr Stephens care so much for my fur babies and to have a support staff (Jamie D, Jam, Jayme G, Chris, Nick and Floyd) that does as well!
