Veterinary Ophthalmology Services
Nashville, Tennessee
General Info
Veterinary Ophthalmology Services in Nashville is a veterinary practice dedicated to serving pets throughout the community with compassion and respect. The clinic is located in Nashville, United States. It is reputed for its professional approach to animal health and the support it provides to both animals and owners. The experienced team provides personalized wellness plans, regular check-ups, and a variety of treatments tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Services often include Ophthalmology, Regenerative Medicine, Surgery, In-House Pharmacy, Diagnostics, and Internal Medicine (Cardiology). These treatments are performed with attention to detail as well as with proactive and preventive care. The clinic is well-equipped, and the animals feel comfortable during visits, which is essential for correct diagnosis and treatment. Clients often highlight the loyalty and trust they feel toward the knowledgeable veterinary team, which promotes ongoing collaboration. Veterinary Ophthalmology Services continues to grow as a cornerstone of the Nashville pet-owning community. They are always ready to help, whether young pets need assistance to start their life journeys on the right foot or older ones need support due to chronic health problems. Their drive to constantly learn and stay updated on modern veterinary practices is evident. This ensures that every pet gets the best possible quality of care. It also actively promotes responsible pet ownership and community engagement, making it not just a veterinary practice but also a valuable resource for the local pet families. The veterinary ophthalmology services run their daily operations from intake in the morning to closing in the evening based on how animals move around the facility at different times of the day, providing a dependable care solution across Nashville and Tennessee. The clinic studies entry position sound sensitivity pacing trajectory and focal behavior. Medical checkups during the tests work according to the animal response cycle. Therefore, ears and teeth should be checked in their curiosity phases and trying to examine abdomen or joints in their calm periods. Pet owners need to report complex behavioral changes patterns, such as where the pet prefers to rest in the house as meal time approaches, or how much time they spend near doors and soft surfaces. Veterinary Ophthalmology Services offers various complex protocols: diagnostics and age-adjusted physicals, preventative screening and GI stabilization, endocrine care and surgical preparation alongside post-op reflection. Appointments may be full-service or split into two shorter visits based on the pet’s temperament and the caregiver’s schedule. The priority is given to task lists by medical personnel who need to accomplish daily work. Less emphasis is placed on the animal’s pacing and touch thresholds due to the time it takes to adjust behavior for effective work. Families receive detailed reports about the pets’ behavior patterns, which include time-specific symptoms, behavior after stimulation, and indicators of rebalancing. Text check-ins, pacing charts, and timelines help ensure that follow-up care stays focused on the pet’s experience rather than just clinical milestones. Veterinary Ophthalmology Services provides healthcare to animals in Nashville families’ homes and the entire Tennessee area by ensuring that treatment methods align with how pets stretch and settle at their actual owners’ houses in real time.

In a traumatic eye injury situation, our stress was eased by the warm reception we met upon entering this practice. Later, we were impressed by the compassionate, skilled medical staff. My dog ended up needing surgery, and the surgeon was brilliant. Everything was perfect from the procedure itself to the quick, uneventful recovery to the follow-up care. Highly recommend.

My dog suddenly grew an eye wart that was growing bigger by the day. He had to have it surgically removed before it impeded his eye. I was very nervous considering he has a heart murmur. Dr Huskey did a great job and the surgical area looks very well healed and shows a proficient and competent attention to detail. Val, the vet tech was absolutely AMAZING. Surgery is nerve wracking but this duo did a fantastic job!!

I always thought this practice was fantastic, but after moving out of state I realize just how outstanding they really are. Everything from the facility to the support staff are top notch. My dog had a very serious systemic illness, and neither my dog nor I could have gotten through it without Dr. Huskey's intelligence, confidence, and empathy. Without a doubt the best medical practice - animal or human - I have ever encountered.

Paid over $250 just to be told my dog was fat (she isn't). She had developed corneal dystrophies over the course of a year, and his immediate and consummate diagnosis was she was fat. Guess what? Her lipids came back just fine, and her weight was on target.
I had to figure out her problem on my own through (gasp) Internet research, and what it turned out to be was a diet too high in protein, specifically caused by Orijen. This should have been evident to an acclaimed specialist like Dr. Laratta, especially with the tearing and other symptoms, and over the next six months, after switching to a lower protein diet, her dystrophies gradually disappeared. Also, before, during, and after those six months, her weight remained constant (go figure, huh?).
In summary, our visit to Dr. Laratta was not only a total waste of money, but he also delivered his diagnosis with a smug condescension born of his utterly wrong assumption I was over feeding my dog. The only thing overfed in this case was his ego.

I am so thankful for the caring professionals at Veterinary Ophthalmology. First of all, the location itself is beautiful, and they go above and beyond to make both human and animal feel comfortable. There are people snacks and doggy snacks, and dog bowls in the kitchen so that pooches can have water. They got my Rosebud in on an emergency basis and squeezed us in between appointments, treated her with such tenderness and kindness, and Dr Taylor sat down and drew us pictures of what was happening to Rosebud's eye so that we would understand everything in detail. I definitely felt like they cared well for all of us, and am so thankful for them. Hopefully Rosebud will be in no pain within a few days, and this nightmare can be behind us.

Just returned from my initial appointment with VOS at their Chattanooga, TN location. This was a follow-up after our Boston Terrier had to have emergency surgery while we were out of town in November. Great experience! So professional, thorough and caring. So glad I found VOS since I just didn't know where I'd find good specialty care since we don't live in a metropolitan area anymore.

WOW!! Thank you so very much Veterinary Ophthalmology Services (VOS) for everything you did for our baby.... Leo. I just do not have the words to express my gratitude to you all. Fiive stars is not enough, 500 is closer. We adopted Leo on 30 August 2015 and he was blind when we adopted him. Leo came from Atlanta where he was left in a cage 24/7 and just plain neglected. A cocker spaniel rescue came across Leo and was able to remove him from that environment. Leo was placed in a foster home while a permanent family was found. He was in foster for over 2 years before we found him. We we spoke with his foster mom, she told us that nobody wants a blind dog and people feel they are worthless as pets. Leo was said to have inoperable cataracts and would always be blind so nobody wanted Leo. Leo did well when we first got him home. He learned the lay of the land and as long as we left things in the same place, he did wonderful. On day after dad left the riding lawn mower in the yard and Leo hurt himself, we went looking for help. We wanted a second opinion as to Leo's future. Our vet in Clarksville contacted VOS and they took us right in. We were nervous and scared but their staff is the greatest. They make you feel at home and instill the feeling that everything will be ok. We met with Doctors Voyles and Huskey and after a few more tests, they felt that Leo was a candidate for a successful cataract surgery on his right eye. On 26 July 2016, Leo had his surgery and was able to see his new mom and dad for the first time. It seemed that Leo just stared at us for ever when they brought him to us. We have never enjoyed a feeling like this before, but I can tell you it was one of the best feelings I have ever had. Thank God for Doctor Voyles and Doctor Huskey for all you have done for our fur baby in helping him regain his vision. To watch him run around the back yard chasing birds and squirrels was only possible because of you and your wonderful staff. Again......Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Also, VOS has one of the finest staffs I have ever come across. They ensure you have the medicines needed are are great to speak with when you have questions. VOS is lucky to have individuals such as this. Thank you too! I have attached a photo of Leo in the comments. This is the first picture of Leo after looking at himself in the mirror for the first time.

Dr Huskey and the staff have treated me and my precious dog Gracie as good and better than most doctor office that I have seen myself. Dr Huskey helped us keep Gracie as comfortable as possible however we eventually had to make the decision to remove her eyes. She is now happier and no longer in pain.

Dr. Laratta has been treating our cat, Bob, for a chronic eye condition for over ten years. Bob had a simple condition called entropion, which our local vets didn't recognize because it is rare in cats. Unfortunately the delay in getting proper treatment caused permanent damage. Bob goes in every 6-12 months to be monitored. On Bob's last regular checkup Dr. L found that Bob had developed glaucoma, for which he is now being treated. Dr. L and his staff are very skilled and very kind, and we are very pleased with the care Bob receives. Thank you to everyone at Vet Opthalmology!

Enough to where he does not go blind; I do however think it is downright heinous that I should have to pay yearly for a complete eye exam when they already know his chronic condition just to get the meds he needs...

They have done an amazing job. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my pups eyeballs! I had an emergency over the weekend and the doctor on call called me within 15 minutes.

Our Great Dane had a case of "cherry eye" and we heard good things about the work they had done with other dogs. After the first surgery the problem was not resolved. After they operated again it was better but not resolved. Now 4 years later my poor dogs eyes look like a Basset Hound's and it looks as if he will eventually need to have more corrective surgery. I was contacted by VOS after posting a review which went a long way in redeeming them and asked to schedule a follow up. I am hopeful my poor middle aged Dane will be the better off for it.

I had an excellent experience here! My dog had a previous injury in her left eye that has never been looked at by a specialist, and after she had green discharge come from her eye, I knew it was time for her to see one. Thankfully my dog's eye health was great!I saw Dr. Voyles, and she explained everything perfectly and took time to even draw the eye to show what was going on. In fact, the entire staff was wonderful.Oh, and the facility is GORGEOUS! All beautiful hardwood floors, big comfy couches, complimentary waters, French doors, you name it. For an initial exam and ointment for my dog's eye was $160. I felt that was fair for the fact that we went to see a specialist. I'm sure the price fluctuates depending on the problem though, so always call for a quote.

My dog acquired glaucoma 18 months ago in her right eye. We whisked her to VOS immediately to seek their expert advice. Unfortunately, she did not respond to treatment. We had to make the sad decision to remove her eye. Fast forward to about a month ago and bad genes strike again.....my poor sweet dog was struck with glaucoma in her remaining eye. We were warned this may happen if it was genetic but of course we hoped it wouldn't happen. Again, no response to treatment. My dog is just about the sweetest in the whole world and she's been dealt a terrible hand. She was born with a severe defect in her rear leg so it was amputated at 4 months of age. Then glaucoma at age 4 1/2 years, and then completely blind at age 6. Glaucoma is extremely painful and it can't be left untreated.....so, we made the most difficult of choices to date which was to remove her remaining eye. Clearly, I was emotional over this. VOS however, gave us every option and made us feel alright with the decision we made. Dr. Huskey and technicians Maggie and Andrea were especially sweet to us during this very difficult time. I'm happy to report that Kangaroo, my sweet shiba inu, is doing extremely well given her many "handicaps". I give major praise to the wonderful professionals at VOS. Thank you!

I have been in some very very nice doctors offices. This facility trumps all and it's an animal clinic. No I mean seriously it's the nicest medical office I've ever been in. I mean look at the exterior; it's cutesy colonial. Inside you enter the main lobby (yes there is more than one lobby) I was so flustered the day my kitty and I visited that I cannot remember for sure, but I do believe they have white marble floors in this main lobby. After I checked in and received my very small amount of paper work, we were sent to the second lobby and invited to eat the free snacks and sodas located in an adjoining room. The second lobby had, I swear it, no less than 10 overstuffed couches and I'm pretty sure a fire place plus two flat screen TVs. The day had been extremely stressful and as soon as I sat down in one of those overstuffed couches I completely checked out, until our names were called. We had been referred to VOS by our regular vet at the Value Vet on Main Street in East Nashville. Our kitty Brisby showed up the evening before, squinting in one eye and upon closer inspection it appeared to be bleeding under the lens. This was extremely alarming and very early the next morning we rushed her to Value Vet. They said, when it comes to eyes and cats, it's a very bad idea to take any chances and immediately sent a fax to the VOS people stating we had an emergency situation. So I found myself rushing home in the middle of a work day to pick up Brisby and run her over to VOS. Brisby, bless her little heart, was so tolerant and patient the whole time we waited in the VOS lobby, even though she had already been to Value Vet earlier in the morning. She sat in her carrier, quiet as a mouse (just like her namesake: Mrs. Brisby from the Secret of NIMH). When we were called to the exam room she was weighed and measured and put up with it all. When the eye specialist came in, we wrapped her up in a towel, like a little purrito and the doc preformed a bunch of tests to try to determine what may be causing the issue. He said the most likely explanation was that she 'smacked her face on something and the bleeding was caused by this' since there was no scratch he could see. Since she was still active, eating and drinking it wasn't likely to be anything more serious BUT she would need eye drops, an oral antibiotic and to return in a week, since many eye conditions may take a lot of time to develop. Although I'm glad we went to the specialist I sort of wondered after looking over the invoice how each individual eye test that took two seconds of poking and prodding really was worth $20 each. I guess that's how they pay for the marble floors. Not to sound too negative, they were lovely people and very accommodating. It actually didn't turnout to be as expensive as I thought in the end and Brisby is back to being %100. PS the towel purrito method is seriously the best way to administer medication to your cat, they can't move and scratch you. It's like the Thunder Jacket concept, they feel secure.

My dog ended up needing surgery, and the surgeon was brilliant. Everything was perfect from the procedure itself to the quick, uneventful recovery to the follow-up care. Highly recommend.

By far an awesome state of the art facility. My horse had eye surgery a month ago. Everything was explained to me in detail so I knew what to expect. Blessed to have them in our community.

My dog suddenly grew an eye wart that was growing bigger by the day. He had to have it surgically removed before it impeded his eye. I was very nervous considering he has a heart murmur. Dr Huskey did a great job and the surgical area looks very well healed and shows a proficient and competent attention to detail. Val, the vet tech was absolutely AMAZING. Surgery is nerve wracking but this duo did a fantastic job!!

I always thought this practice was fantastic, but after moving out of state I realize just how outstanding they really are. Everything from the facility to the support staff are top notch. My dog had a very serious systemic illness, and neither my dog nor I could have gotten through it without Dr. Huskey's intelligence, confidence, and empathy. Without a doubt the best medical practice - animal or human - I have ever encountered.

Paid over $250 just to be told my dog was fat (she isn't). She had developed corneal dystrophies over the course of a year, and his immediate and consummate diagnosis was she was fat. Guess what? Her lipids came back just fine, and her weight was on target.
I had to figure out her problem on my own through (gasp) Internet research, and what it turned out to be was a diet too high in protein, specifically caused by Orijen. This should have been evident to an acclaimed specialist like Dr. Laratta, especially with the tearing and other symptoms, and over the next six months, after switching to a lower protein diet, her dystrophies gradually disappeared. Also, before, during, and after those six months, her weight remained constant (go figure, huh?).
In summary, our visit to Dr. Laratta was not only a total waste of money, but he also delivered his diagnosis with a smug condescension born of his utterly wrong assumption I was over feeding my dog. The only thing overfed in this case was his ego.

I am so thankful for the caring professionals at Veterinary Ophthalmology. First of all, the location itself is beautiful, and they go above and beyond to make both human and animal feel comfortable. There are people snacks and doggy snacks, and dog bowls in the kitchen so that pooches can have water. They got my Rosebud in on an emergency basis and squeezed us in between appointments, treated her with such tenderness and kindness, and Dr Taylor sat down and drew us pictures of what was happening to Rosebud's eye so that we would understand everything in detail. I definitely felt like they cared well for all of us, and am so thankful for them. Hopefully Rosebud will be in no pain within a few days, and this nightmare can be behind us.

Just returned from my initial appointment with VOS at their Chattanooga, TN location. This was a follow-up after our Boston Terrier had to have emergency surgery while we were out of town in November. Great experience! So professional, thorough and caring. So glad I found VOS since I just didn't know where I'd find good specialty care since we don't live in a metropolitan area anymore.

WOW!! Thank you so very much Veterinary Ophthalmology Services (VOS) for everything you did for our baby.... Leo. I just do not have the words to express my gratitude to you all. Fiive stars is not enough, 500 is closer. We adopted Leo on 30 August 2015 and he was blind when we adopted him. Leo came from Atlanta where he was left in a cage 24/7 and just plain neglected. A cocker spaniel rescue came across Leo and was able to remove him from that environment. Leo was placed in a foster home while a permanent family was found. He was in foster for over 2 years before we found him. We we spoke with his foster mom, she told us that nobody wants a blind dog and people feel they are worthless as pets. Leo was said to have inoperable cataracts and would always be blind so nobody wanted Leo. Leo did well when we first got him home. He learned the lay of the land and as long as we left things in the same place, he did wonderful. On day after dad left the riding lawn mower in the yard and Leo hurt himself, we went looking for help. We wanted a second opinion as to Leo's future. Our vet in Clarksville contacted VOS and they took us right in. We were nervous and scared but their staff is the greatest. They make you feel at home and instill the feeling that everything will be ok. We met with Doctors Voyles and Huskey and after a few more tests, they felt that Leo was a candidate for a successful cataract surgery on his right eye. On 26 July 2016, Leo had his surgery and was able to see his new mom and dad for the first time. It seemed that Leo just stared at us for ever when they brought him to us. We have never enjoyed a feeling like this before, but I can tell you it was one of the best feelings I have ever had. Thank God for Doctor Voyles and Doctor Huskey for all you have done for our fur baby in helping him regain his vision. To watch him run around the back yard chasing birds and squirrels was only possible because of you and your wonderful staff. Again......Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Also, VOS has one of the finest staffs I have ever come across. They ensure you have the medicines needed are are great to speak with when you have questions. VOS is lucky to have individuals such as this. Thank you too! I have attached a photo of Leo in the comments. This is the first picture of Leo after looking at himself in the mirror for the first time.

There aren't enough words to say how grateful I am for everyone here. Dr Huskey and the staff have treated me and my precious dog Gracie as good and better than most doctor office that I have seen myself. Dr Huskey helped us keep Gracie as comfortable as possible however we eventually had to make the decision to remove her eyes. She is now happier and no longer in pain. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you for everything.

Dr. Laratta has been treating our cat, Bob, for a chronic eye condition for over ten years. Bob had a simple condition called entropion, which our local vets didn't recognize because it is rare in cats. Unfortunately the delay in getting proper treatment caused permanent damage. Bob goes in every 6-12 months to be monitored. On Bob's last regular checkup Dr. L found that Bob had developed glaucoma, for which he is now being treated. Dr. L and his staff are very skilled and very kind, and we are very pleased with the care Bob receives. Thank you to everyone at Vet Opthalmology!

I love my dog enough to have to foot the never ending bills for his chronic eye disorder. Enough to where he does not go blind; I do however think it is downright heinous that I should have to pay yearly for a complete eye exam when they already know his chronic condition just to get the meds he needs... Rant rant rant rant, not their fault, it's the law.... :( Thanks for keeping my dog from going blind!

I had a 11:20 appointment at the Murfreesboro location and got out of there at 12:45. How can they not plan their schedule better? How hard is it? When the appointment was nearly done they said, "you want us to trim the hair around his eyes" and I said "sure". Thanks for not informing me that was another $15 when I told them I have a grooming appointment in two days. Next time I will drive all the way to Nashville and hope for better service.

This place goes above and beyond in everything they do!! I have been bringing my older pug here for quite some time. I just started bringing my younger pug for some eye issues. They have done an amazing job. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my pups eyeballs! I had an emergency over the weekend and the doctor on call called me within 15 minutes. When you combine the speciality skills and the 5 star customer service you get something pretty amazing! That goes for everyone there! The techs, front desk and management have always gone above and beyond as well!

Our Great Dane had a case of "cherry eye" and we heard good things about the work they had done with other dogs. After the first surgery the problem was not resolved. After they operated again it was better but not resolved. Now 4 years later my poor dogs eyes look like a Basset Hound's and it looks as if he will eventually need to have more corrective surgery. I was contacted by VOS after posting a review which went a long way in redeeming them and asked to schedule a follow up. I am hopeful my poor middle aged Dane will be the better off for it.

I had an excellent experience here! My dog had a previous injury in her left eye that has never been looked at by a specialist, and after she had green discharge come from her eye, I knew it was time for her to see one. Thankfully my dog's eye health was great!I saw Dr. Voyles, and she explained everything perfectly and took time to even draw the eye to show what was going on. In fact, the entire staff was wonderful.Oh, and the facility is GORGEOUS! All beautiful hardwood floors, big comfy couches, complimentary waters, French doors, you name it. For an initial exam and ointment for my dog's eye was $160. I felt that was fair for the fact that we went to see a specialist. I'm sure the price fluctuates depending on the problem though, so always call for a quote.

I drove from Memphis to see Dr. Larrata with Sally who had sudden onset glaucoma. The vet eye specialist in Memphis wanted to remove the eye and I just couldn't do that without another opinion. Dr. Larrata said he could save the eye but she did lose vision. Sally is now recovering and pain free.Dr. Larrata is professional, compassionate, and one heck of a nice guy. The support staff provided clear instructions on eye care, gave expectations of the future, and even called a few days later to see how she was doing. This is a fine team of folks and I would not hesitate to make the drive again.

My dog acquired glaucoma 18 months ago in her right eye. We whisked her to VOS immediately to seek their expert advice. Unfortunately, she did not respond to treatment. We had to make the sad decision to remove her eye. Fast forward to about a month ago and bad genes strike again.....my poor sweet dog was struck with glaucoma in her remaining eye. We were warned this may happen if it was genetic but of course we hoped it wouldn't happen. Again, no response to treatment. My dog is just about the sweetest in the whole world and she's been dealt a terrible hand. She was born with a severe defect in her rear leg so it was amputated at 4 months of age. Then glaucoma at age 4 1/2 years, and then completely blind at age 6. Glaucoma is extremely painful and it can't be left untreated.....so, we made the most difficult of choices to date which was to remove her remaining eye. Clearly, I was emotional over this. VOS however, gave us every option and made us feel alright with the decision we made. Dr. Huskey and technicians Maggie and Andrea were especially sweet to us during this very difficult time. I'm happy to report that Kangaroo, my sweet shiba inu, is doing extremely well given her many "handicaps". I give major praise to the wonderful professionals at VOS. Thank you!

I have been in some very very nice doctors offices. This facility trumps all and it's an animal clinic. No I mean seriously it's the nicest medical office I've ever been in. I mean look at the exterior; it's cutesy colonial. Inside you enter the main lobby (yes there is more than one lobby) I was so flustered the day my kitty and I visited that I cannot remember for sure, but I do believe they have white marble floors in this main lobby. After I checked in and received my very small amount of paper work, we were sent to the second lobby and invited to eat the free snacks and sodas located in an adjoining room. The second lobby had, I swear it, no less than 10 overstuffed couches and I'm pretty sure a fire place plus two flat screen TVs. The day had been extremely stressful and as soon as I sat down in one of those overstuffed couches I completely checked out, until our names were called. We had been referred to VOS by our regular vet at the Value Vet on Main Street in East Nashville. Our kitty Brisby showed up the evening before, squinting in one eye and upon closer inspection it appeared to be bleeding under the lens. This was extremely alarming and very early the next morning we rushed her to Value Vet. They said, when it comes to eyes and cats, it's a very bad idea to take any chances and immediately sent a fax to the VOS people stating we had an emergency situation. So I found myself rushing home in the middle of a work day to pick up Brisby and run her over to VOS. Brisby, bless her little heart, was so tolerant and patient the whole time we waited in the VOS lobby, even though she had already been to Value Vet earlier in the morning. She sat in her carrier, quiet as a mouse (just like her namesake: Mrs. Brisby from the Secret of NIMH). When we were called to the exam room she was weighed and measured and put up with it all. When the eye specialist came in, we wrapped her up in a towel, like a little purrito and the doc preformed a bunch of tests to try to determine what may be causing the issue. He said the most likely explanation was that she 'smacked her face on something and the bleeding was caused by this' since there was no scratch he could see. Since she was still active, eating and drinking it wasn't likely to be anything more serious BUT she would need eye drops, an oral antibiotic and to return in a week, since many eye conditions may take a lot of time to develop. Although I'm glad we went to the specialist I sort of wondered after looking over the invoice how each individual eye test that took two seconds of poking and prodding really was worth $20 each. I guess that's how they pay for the marble floors. Not to sound too negative, they were lovely people and very accommodating. It actually didn't turnout to be as expensive as I thought in the end and Brisby is back to being %100. PS the towel purrito method is seriously the best way to administer medication to your cat, they can't move and scratch you. It's like the Thunder Jacket concept, they feel secure.
