Richland Animal Clinic
Nashville, Tennessee
General Info
Richland Animal Clinic in Nashville delivers adaptable healthcare that aligns with lifestyle changes to assist Tennessee families in incorporating regular examinations along with sustained support and tailored approaches. An initial veterinary appointment usually starts with an open discussion to explore changes and consistencies in the pet's behavior while assessing its role within the family. Healthcare professionals assess physical condition alongside oral health and respiratory rhythm while examining skin and joint flexibility and any changes in posture or temperament. Veterinarians examine issues such as itching and disinterest in toys together with slower movement and altered appetite to establish initial care priorities. Richland Animal Clinic delivers vaccinations alongside diagnostic services while also providing allergy support and skin treatments together with senior pet planning dental evaluations and breed-specific risk assessments. The timing of recommendations is designed to match both owner schedules and pet habits by spreading care during peak periods or coordinating treatments with activity trends. Seasonal patterns, residential arrangements, dietary movements, and social interactions receive attention—particularly for pets living with children or senior animals. Care plans develop by assessing pet needs and family capabilities while adjusting for behavioral signals medication effects and energy levels across time. Frequent consultations enable the adjustment of recommendations while detecting overlooked indicators and providing pet owners with clear management strategies to eliminate confusion and speculation. Richland Animal Clinic assists Tennessee pet families from Nashville and beyond to build adaptable care routines that respond early and evolve through every stage.

I recently brought my dog here to get boarded because his normal vet didn’t have room over the holidays. The ladies at the front desk, the vet tech and the vet (I think Dr. Smith?) were so friendly and good with my dog that I decided to keep coming back for boarding and for vet services (AND it’s about 25 mins further away). Even though his former vet was great, the team at Richland just went above and beyond making my sometimes timid Cocker Spaniel feel comfortable. Thanks for being so caring!

They are very kind and caring. The front desk is proficient. Dr. Brockman is wonderful, she really listens to the pet owners concerns. We had been going somewhere else and we had no luck in helping my dog with her skin allergies. At least now I know now I have someone who is willing to give 100% until we tweak every last option to optimize the kind of quality of life my dog deserves. Thank you. -Spring and JoJo.

I took my small dog to Richland three times. Each time we went, the vet was very non-personable - when I asked questions concerning a procedure I received sarcastic responses. Also, when I asked for an estimate, I again received a sarcastic response and a very adamate “this is not a quote, only an estimate that is likely to change” - I left feeling like this vet doesn’t care about the animal and just wants money. The gentleman at the front desk is nice, but the lady at the front desk is very rude. Most times when I called no one answers. Overall vibe I get from the office is that they just want money and don’t care about treating animals with compassion and wanting loyal customers.
I’ve switched to a different vet in town and receive 110% better service.

Our furry family tends to have challenging veterinary needs. Dr Brockman and her staff have been wonderful in helping us manage some very difficult health conditions ranging from basic needs to Cushing's and Cancer. We tried a number of clinics for our pets when we moved to Middle Tennessee and have never looked back after our first visit about six years ago. Thank you Dr Brockman!

Our family loves Richland Animal Clinic. We live pretty far from the clinic but after trying a local vet for years and feeling like they didn't care about my babies, I brought my sick dog here. Dr Brockman and the staff were so sweet and really cared for my dog. Bernice (my dog) was very sick and they went into action trying to figure what was going on and treating her. It meant the world to our family. I wouldn't trust my dogs with anyone else

I will start by saying that the Dr both of my babies had seen were very nice and good at what they do, as well as the technicians. My biggest qualm is with their receptionists. It's not that they are rude, but as the face of a business, they could do with a lot more friendliness. Will people probably still come in there out of necessity? Sure. But if I had the choice between two great doctors and one of them had a staff that barely looks up when I leave versus one that is helpful and super friendly- I'm going to the latter. It instills a sense of trust. So, please take the time to be welcoming!

We have been coming to Richland for 5 years since we came to Nashville. We always liked it and once we started seeing Dr. Knox, we loved it. She has seen us through a Rottie with bone cancer and amputation and eventual demise and an American Bulldog with three different cancers and now an intestinal problem.

I brought my dog to Richland creek because our current vet was becoming exorbitantly expensive. It was very clean and the people friendly. However, my experience leads me to believe they're not top-notch. Lab results took several days to complete. They said my dog had bad crystals in her urine and she needed a supplement and to be retested. She was retested and then the vet said she should brought in again because the sample was left out too long. After being tested again, they said she still had crystals and a UTI and would need a special Rx food. When I looked at the ingredient list, corn was the first ingredient and it also contained a high amount of soybean and animal byproducts. I wanted a second opinion and took my dog to a new vet. I received the lab results in minutes. He confirmed she had an UTI but was not concerned about the level of crystals. He tested her again in a week, the UTI had cleared up, but he still did not find a concerning level of crystals. He also explained that females rarely have complications even if the crystal level is high. He also said that if that particular kind of crystal had been found in high amounts, kidney x-rays should have been completed. My dog has not had any more problems. I'm grateful Richland Creek found the UTI, but we'll be sticking with our new vet.

I have multiple senior pets so finding a great Veterinary practice was my first priority when I moved to Nashville. I tried another practice closer to my East Nashville home but found that they weren't as full service as I needed - medications available on site, boarding, ultrasound, x-ray. Richland has been wonderful and has met all of my expectations over the past three years. We regularly see Dr Knox but I like and trust all of the Veterinarians and Staff at Richland and would definitely recommend them to others.

Dr. Brockman was recommended by our regular veterinarian when we were considering acupuncture for our senior dog's arthritis and neuropathy. Although it did take some time before she came to the exam room, the care and compassion she showed toward our dog made up for it. She was very gentle when examining our dog. She explained everything she was doing and the reasons behind her recommendations. She was very thorough and thoughtful. Not only did she perform acupuncture, she also recommended inexpensive supplements and peanut butter (for the iron) to help correct some of our dog's blood values. She seems to feel that educating pet owners is very important and sent home literature about her clinic and also a longer handout about veterinary acupuncture and encouraged us to call anytime we had any questions. Overall, this was a very positive experience for us and I highly recommend Dr. Brockman's acupuncture services.

I have been using Richland Animal Clinic for 12 years and can highly recommmend them. Dr. Brockman took great care of my dogs Azzie and Ivan until their sad passings this year and last year. I now entrust my two greyhounds, Annie Rose and Raven, to her and know that they're getting outstanding medical care. Dr. Brockman ALWAYS calls me at the end of the work day to personally discuss the results of any lab work that was performed that day. And, unlike another animal clinc which will remain unnamed (hint: I live in Sylvan Park), Richland doesn't make me feel like a walking ATM machine. They have never suggested un-needed lab work or tests. Dr. brockman is a traditionally-trained vet but is very open-minded about non-traditional and holistic healing and supplements. Today, she prescribed Chinese herbs for Annie Rose who probably has some nascent arthritis. No animal clinic is perfect but I've always been satisfied with the health care Dr. Brockman has provided my dogs.

I have taken my pets to Richland for over 3 years. I wanted a more holistic approach with my dogs. I saw Dr. Brockman. I switched vets after I realized how unprofessional she is. It was always difficult to get an appointment because she is never there. When one of my dogs became ill, she suggested bloodwork. She said she would call me with the results the following morning. I never heard from her. I called twice to get them. 3 days later, she had a tech call me with the results. I had already taken my pet to another vet, Dr. Ingram in Brentwood. He has been amazing and he is always available.

My girlfriend waited over 15 minutes in the lobby then 35 minutes in the room to see the vet. The vet, Dr. Brokman was in the next room over, talking about her personal life, I'm assuming with a friend/client. She finally comes in to see my pet and says sorry for the wait its been a busy morning. I don't think your personal conversions on my time is an excuse for a busy morning. If she will lie about that, I cannot trust her with the health of my pet. Disappointed client.

At least now I know now I have someone who is willing to give 100% until we tweak every last option to optimize the kind of quality of life my dog deserves. Thank you. -Spring and JoJo.

I took my small dog to Richland three times. Each time we went, the vet was very non-personable - when I asked questions concerning a procedure I received sarcastic responses. Also, when I asked for an estimate, I again received a sarcastic response and a very adamate “this is not a quote, only an estimate that is likely to change” - I left feeling like this vet doesn’t care about the animal and just wants money. The gentleman at the front desk is nice, but the lady at the front desk is very rude. Most times when I called no one answers. Overall vibe I get from the office is that they just want money and don’t care about treating animals with compassion and wanting loyal customers.
I’ve switched to a different vet in town and receive 110% better service.

Our furry family tends to have challenging veterinary needs. Dr Brockman and her staff have been wonderful in helping us manage some very difficult health conditions ranging from basic needs to Cushing's and Cancer. We tried a number of clinics for our pets when we moved to Middle Tennessee and have never looked back after our first visit about six years ago. Thank you Dr Brockman!

Our family loves Richland Animal Clinic. We live pretty far from the clinic but after trying a local vet for years and feeling like they didn't care about my babies, I brought my sick dog here. Dr Brockman and the staff were so sweet and really cared for my dog. Bernice (my dog) was very sick and they went into action trying to figure what was going on and treating her. It meant the world to our family. I wouldn't trust my dogs with anyone else

I will start by saying that the Dr both of my babies had seen were very nice and good at what they do, as well as the technicians. My biggest qualm is with their receptionists. It's not that they are rude, but as the face of a business, they could do with a lot more friendliness. Will people probably still come in there out of necessity? Sure. But if I had the choice between two great doctors and one of them had a staff that barely looks up when I leave versus one that is helpful and super friendly- I'm going to the latter. It instills a sense of trust. So, please take the time to be welcoming!

We have been coming to Richland for 5 years since we came to Nashville. We always liked it and once we started seeing Dr. Knox, we loved it. She has seen us through a Rottie with bone cancer and amputation and eventual demise and an American Bulldog with three different cancers and now an intestinal problem. She is smart, a good diagnostician and willin g to refer when she is not the right person. I drive from Donelon to go there if that tells you anything.

Richland has the MOST wonderful folks! They all provided excellent medical care and LOVED our Maverick Girl (14 1/2 yr.old dachshund) through a 5 month long journey with brain cancer. Especially the day she left for the Rainbow Bridge, everyone was crying with us and showing us tremendous love and support! We are forever grateful for their wonderful medical care and emotional care through the worst time in our lives. The folks at Richland Animal Clinic are a blessing to our family!!!

I brought my dog to Richland creek because our current vet was becoming exorbitantly expensive. It was very clean and the people friendly. However, my experience leads me to believe they're not top-notch. Lab results took several days to complete. They said my dog had bad crystals in her urine and she needed a supplement and to be retested. She was retested and then the vet said she should brought in again because the sample was left out too long. After being tested again, they said she still had crystals and a UTI and would need a special Rx food. When I looked at the ingredient list, corn was the first ingredient and it also contained a high amount of soybean and animal byproducts. I wanted a second opinion and took my dog to a new vet. I received the lab results in minutes. He confirmed she had an UTI but was not concerned about the level of crystals. He tested her again in a week, the UTI had cleared up, but he still did not find a concerning level of crystals. He also explained that females rarely have complications even if the crystal level is high. He also said that if that particular kind of crystal had been found in high amounts, kidney x-rays should have been completed. My dog has not had any more problems. I'm grateful Richland Creek found the UTI, but we'll be sticking with our new vet.

I have multiple senior pets so finding a great Veterinary practice was my first priority when I moved to Nashville. I tried another practice closer to my East Nashville home but found that they weren't as full service as I needed - medications available on site, boarding, ultrasound, x-ray. Richland has been wonderful and has met all of my expectations over the past three years. We regularly see Dr Knox but I like and trust all of the Veterinarians and Staff at Richland and would definitely recommend them to others.

Love this place!! Best most compassionate vets--good common sense--and a definite passion for animals. All God's creatures ought to feel beloved here.. Dr. Brockman helped my old boycat with the last years of his life, with acupuncture, and now Dr. Knox takes care of his companion, Katie. I trust these folks, and I know they care deeply for their patients and their human guardians. Can't say enough good things about RAC.

Exceptional veterinary care--acupuncture and chiropractic for pets is a great, too! They tool phenomenal care of my beloved cat the last years of his life blending allopathic and alternative modalities that helped him have the best quality of life possible. Now they care for his companion cat--and I know that between Dr. Brockman and Dr. Anderson she'll get the best care possible. Can't say enough good things about these folks.

Love the staff here, I've been bringing my love Johann here for the past 8 years, each Vetenarian has always given me the best feed back and care for his particular needs. They study his file before giving treatment, communicate fast, have always been empathetic. I feel comfortable with the facility as a whole and would recommend to anyone.

Dr. Sims is really great along with the rest of the staff at Richland Animal Clinic. Last fall I lost my 15 year old Boston to neurological disorders and a stroke. Everyone at the clinic was very compassionate and took good care of my dog and me. I like that they offer laser therapy and acupuncture along with prescription meds to treat their patients. I highly recommend Richland Animal Clinic.

Dr. Brockman was recommended by our regular veterinarian when we were considering acupuncture for our senior dog's arthritis and neuropathy. Although it did take some time before she came to the exam room, the care and compassion she showed toward our dog made up for it. She was very gentle when examining our dog. She explained everything she was doing and the reasons behind her recommendations. She was very thorough and thoughtful. Not only did she perform acupuncture, she also recommended inexpensive supplements and peanut butter (for the iron) to help correct some of our dog's blood values. She seems to feel that educating pet owners is very important and sent home literature about her clinic and also a longer handout about veterinary acupuncture and encouraged us to call anytime we had any questions. Overall, this was a very positive experience for us and I highly recommend Dr. Brockman's acupuncture services.

I have been using Richland Animal Clinic for 12 years and can highly recommmend them. Dr. Brockman took great care of my dogs Azzie and Ivan until their sad passings this year and last year. I now entrust my two greyhounds, Annie Rose and Raven, to her and know that they're getting outstanding medical care. Dr. Brockman ALWAYS calls me at the end of the work day to personally discuss the results of any lab work that was performed that day. And, unlike another animal clinc which will remain unnamed (hint: I live in Sylvan Park), Richland doesn't make me feel like a walking ATM machine. They have never suggested un-needed lab work or tests. Dr. brockman is a traditionally-trained vet but is very open-minded about non-traditional and holistic healing and supplements. Today, she prescribed Chinese herbs for Annie Rose who probably has some nascent arthritis. No animal clinic is perfect but I've always been satisfied with the health care Dr. Brockman has provided my dogs.

I have taken my pets to Richland for over 3 years. I wanted a more holistic approach with my dogs. I saw Dr. Brockman. I switched vets after I realized how unprofessional she is. It was always difficult to get an appointment because she is never there. When one of my dogs became ill, she suggested bloodwork. She said she would call me with the results the following morning. I never heard from her. I called twice to get them. 3 days later, she had a tech call me with the results. I had already taken my pet to another vet, Dr. Ingram in Brentwood. He has been amazing and he is always available.

I have been a pet owner for over 50 years, and Terry Brockman is the most professional, most compassionate vet I have ever dealt with. She has cared for my dog and my cat, including surgery on both, and had provided the best care I could possibly hope for.I would highly recommend Dr. Brockman for any needed veterinary care. I would also like to commend the staff at Richland Animal Hospital. They have uniformly been polite, professional, and helpful with every question I have asked. This is a class A operation. No question about it.

My girlfriend waited over 15 minutes in the lobby then 35 minutes in the room to see the vet. The vet, Dr. Brokman was in the next room over, talking about her personal life, I'm assuming with a friend/client. She finally comes in to see my pet and says sorry for the wait its been a busy morning. I don't think your personal conversions on my time is an excuse for a busy morning. If she will lie about that, I cannot trust her with the health of my pet. Disappointed client.

I love this vet! They found a treatment that worked for a medical condition my dog had after I had taken her to other pricier vets in town with no luck. They really care about finding the right treatment for your animal, but they won't take you for a ride. I have never felt pressured to do any unnecessary treatments or buy any unnecessary products for my dog just so they can make a buck. They're always very friendly and glad to see us when we come in.

WARING! DON’T TAKE YOUR PET TO RICHLAND ANIMAL CLINIC! If you care anything about your PETS you will not take them here. This place is awful. The staff is incredible rude! If they can’t take the time to be nice to you, how are they going to treat your pet? THIS PLACE ONLY CARES ABOUT YOUR MONEY AND NOT ABOUT YOUR PET! SERIOUSLY! DON’T TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE! Not only does Richland Animal Clinic lack professionalism they lack heart! Two things I believe are important when dealing with someone’s pets! if you want you and your loved ones to be treated badly then go to richland animal clinic!
