Southwest Veterinary Clinic

My boyfriend and I recently visited this veterinary clinic with our dog, and I appreciated that the staff was friendly and able to see us the same day. However, I did have one part of the experience that left me feeling offended. During the appointment, the veterinarian asked if we smoked, specifically marijuana, around our dog. After we answered no, she followed up by asking, "Not even a roach?" This line of questioning felt unnecessary and inappropriate, especially since we had given no indication that this would be a concern. Neither we nor our dog smelled like marijuana, and the specificity of the question came across as presumptive and judgmental. I found this unprofessional. Typically, a healthcare provider will ask whether a pet is exposed to smoke, receive the answer, and move on. Instead, we felt as though our honesty was being doubted and that assumptions were being made about us without cause. It was disappointing to feel judged in this way, especially within our own community, and I could not help but wonder whether our appearance played a role in her assumptions. While the staff overall was kind and helpful, I hope that in future interactions the veterinarian can approach such questions more neutrally and without unnecessary specificity. Pet owners should feel respected and not stereotyped during their visit.

Very nice people, thorough and quick exams. Comparable or a bit lower in price to VCA nearby. The possibility of Saturday appointments is a major plus for full-time working folks. Great techs especially helped me and my 2 big dogs in and out as seamlessly as possible today.

Dr Clarke is the absolute best. She’s taken care of our pups for years and has performed multiple surgeries on our dogs (eye surgery & spay). Shes even helped us with a few strays we’ve brought in for medical care. They have a very knowledgeable and attentive team.

Everyone was nice and gave me understanding of everything I need to know about my fur babies . The rates were good to me and they were very gentle with my pets. The office was very clean and the staff is great. My babies doctor is an Angel .

Chasity, Dr. Clark and the front desk provided excellent and friendly service! We traveled from Cobb county for this vet and they did not disappoint! They are affordable, relatable and is truly the best clinic I have been to! 10 out of 10.

I highly recommend this clinic and am so glad that we have a quality service pet clinic in our area. Go 30311!✅ and beyond. Dr. Clark and her staff from front desk, shout out to you! Assistants, shout out to you! Groomer, shout out to you! I took our new puppy there on a day's notice not expecting that they were more than willing to fit me in (although people, please be more respectful of their time) I was in need of shots cause another place was shady... Anyway, not only did we get the needed treatment/ exam. They fit in a mini grooming for pup! It was severely needed cause my daughter chopped lil pup's cut up and he looked retched😔. If you have a fury pet who seeks compassion, care and professional competency. This is your "Spot" ! Yeah I slipped that punt in☺️ See Spot be whole here!!! Don't wait, book today!!🤗

Our newest family member, Sir Walter Raleigh, loves his new vet. Dr. Clarke. Dr. Clarke was recommended by another Atlanta vet who is closing her practice. She told us she was excellent and a HBCU grad (Tuskegee in the house!). We are always excited to support black business and women owned business. The staff was very kind and loved on our puppy. The doctor was very knowledgeable and attentive. We are thrilled that we have found our new vet in Atlanta. We will be back for many years!
