We have been clients of Dr. Sandefur for decades. Starting when she was at another clinic and liked her so much we followed her when she opened Paws and Claws. I have never had a better experience with a caregiver. She and her staff are informed, helpful, thoughtful in diagnosis and never talk down to the pet owner. They just make you feel totally at ease in the worst situations.
This clinic has made some really tough diagnoses for us over the years for 7 different dogs and 2 cats! They have been so helpful with end of life issues. The ultimate in professionalism and the ultimate in kindness and compassion and just listening! What I would give to have more human doctors that were this good. The very highest marks for Paws and Claws!!!

Took my dog here when he got sick. They were very friendly, personable, and helpful. They contacted me a few days later to check on him and when his tummy still wasn't 100%, I brought him back and they were so helpful to get him back to his perky self. Also, very affordable prices. Was expecting to walk out with a huge bill after the testing, shots, and medicine prescribed but it was less than $100 total.

I am so lucky to have found Paws & Claws! I have a very nervous 70 pound dog and they do a fabulous job making her feel comfortable while making sure she is receiving the medical care she needs. Every time we walk in they know both her and my name and go out of their way to make our visit as great as possible. They are the only vet and the only boarding facility I will ever use!

Love Paws & Claws! The staff is amazing. I’ll never forget how sweet Dr. Parham was when I had to let my beloved Eddie go three years ago. I’d already been a long-time customer but her kindness during a very sad time solidified my loyalty to Paws & Claws. I adopted another dog (Callahan) and the staff is great with him as well! And I can’t say enough about Dawn and Dorthea. Besides being super professional, they’re also just really, really nice gals with great senses of humor. I met Allie at reception for the first time during my most recent visit and she was just as sweet as everyone else on staff. Love this place!

The team at this clinic has taken care of our two dogs and two cats ever since they were just a few weeks old. While we havent had major health issues, we have had to deal with allergies for one of our dogs, minor surgery, and of course the regular wellness exams. We have received excellent care from Dr. Sanderfur. We love her interaction with our pets and the welcoming attitude of her staff is our favorite par of our visits.

Paws & Claws is just up the street from the house we bought when we moved to Nashville! We have two cats - one of whom is very accident and injury prone. He's already been to Paws and Claws twice (in less than two months). Paws & Claws is a neighborhood vet clinic - so it isn't too, too busy! Which is great - because when we called the first time, our kitten Fox was pretty badly injured and we wanted to get him as quickly as possible. We got in that day - within an hour or two! And they patched him up quickly for a reasonable fee (they had to remove a tooth that he had broken that was causing injury to his mouth). We recently had to take him back for a minor surgery, and Dr. Sandefur was very clear about how the surgery went, when we should expect results, etc. Paws & Claws is definitely going to be our family vet! I just hope our cat can hold off any more injuries for a while. (Only con? I wish it didn't smell so much like pet in the waiting area!)
