“I brought my cat to Airport Pet Emergency Clinic due to a urinary obstruction that developed after sedation at a general practice. Dr. Dolan was truly outstanding.
He clearly explained two treatment options and thoughtfully considered that my cat is older and had been recently sedated. I initially chose the more conservative option, but when my cat needed to return for catheterization under sedation, Dr. Dolan was excellent during both procedures. His communication was clear, calm, and honest, and I genuinely felt that his recommendations were centered on my cat’s welfare.
After stabilization, my cat—while catheterized—was transferred to a 24-hour emergency clinic in Asheville, where he was hospitalized for three days. I’m incredibly grateful to this practice for stabilizing him and setting him up for the care he needed next.
For an emergency hospital, the cost was also very reasonable. I sincerely hope I won’t need emergency services again, but if I do, I would absolutely return here.”
“What a lovely vet clinic!! We’ve moved around the country a lot and have been to a lot of vets - this is the best one! After our first appointment here, I know we’ll be staying here as long as we live close and will recommend to anyone who asks! It was clean throughout the building that I saw, smelled clean (and not like animals like you typically smell in vets and pet groomers), and the exam room was spacious and nice. Staff was so kind and accommodating as I came in with two doggos and our toddler! Excellent care for our furbabies, I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!! Thanks Paws of Hope!”
“This was our first visit to Bristol Animal Clinic.
We are new to the area and our 16 1/2 year old German Shepherd mix , Molly, had a kidney infection and needed serious help.
We have been blessed to have had the pleasure of having some extraordinary veterinarians in her life. And I thought that wasn’t going to happen again having relocated to this area, not knowing anyone.
Man was i wrong .., Dr. Dotson is on a level all by himself. Caring, loving, dedicated, professional and treated us like family , more like royalty!
He literally rolled out the carpets for Molly, to be able to be comfortable on the polished floor because he immediately noticed that the exam table would be uncomfortable for her and then proceeded to lay with her to get acquainted and very gently evaluate her condition. He took the time she needed , treated her infection, made sure that I understood the best course of action and answered all of my many questions thoroughly. Molly is now in the best care of her life and I couldn’t be more content with how it all went. Thank you tremendously Dr. Steve Dotson, you are the greatest!!!”

“My dog had trouble breathing. I called and they said bring him in immediately. Dr Hubbard said she would see him. They wasted no time. Dr Hubbard quickly evaluated him. They treated him for fluid on his lungs. Now he is breathing fine. I feel their fast and immediate attention save his life. I want to thank Dr Hubbard and the staff for taking us in on the spur of the moment.”

“Very compassionate with pets. Dr. Allen helped with my dog, Arthur who needed health care but was very fearful. He and staff were very professional as well as kind. We greatly appreciate the time and patience from all the vets and staff with all our pets.”
“I have a cat with chronic urinary issues and they always take good care of him. I've never had an issue getting a same day appointment which is huge for us since his issues are often suddenly emergent. When we do go, the veterinarian sees us within a few minutes of arrival. They really listen and take into consideration the owner's judgment and the animal's medical history. We commute almost 40 minutes to come here from Johnson City and its well worth it. Their pricing is reasonable and they accept care credit which often offers no interest financing for more expensive bills which is another big plus.”
“In honor of National French Bulldog Day, I wanted to share my baby’s story.
August entailed a limp. What felt small at first quickly became overwhelming. Zeus was taken to the vet and diagnosed with luxating patella, and surgery was scheduled about a month out. During that waiting period, his condition continued to worsen.
September entailed devastating clarity. At his scheduled surgical appointment, it was discovered that Zeus did not have luxating patellas after all. We were then referred to the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Center, where they performed extensive testing and still couldn’t find a definitive cause. During this time, Zeus lost the ability to walk entirely and began army crawling everywhere he went. He was placed on strict cage rest, was hardly active, and had to be hand-fed.
October entailed cautious hope. UT started Zeus on a new medication that showed promising results for the first couple of weeks. However, after his recheck, the medication was stopped so additional testing could be done, and he quickly went downhill again.
November entailed desperation turning into determination. Zeus was once again unable to walk at all. That’s when we began seeing a veterinarian for acupuncture and laser therapy—truly one of the best decisions we could have ever made for him.
December entailed small victories. We began to see improvements—Zeus was able to stand and take short, inconsistent steps. It wasn’t much, but it was progress, and it gave us hope that we were finally on the right path.
January entailed answered prayers. Zeus is now walking on his own, standing the majority of the time, and able to lift himself up independently. He still has a long road ahead, but we are so grateful for the amazing Dr. Stone and vet technicians at Appalachian Animal Hospital who have supported us, listen to us, and made us feel like family from our first visit in November.”
“I can’t thank everyone at Animal Medical Clinic enough for the love and care they showed Roman. He was treated with so much kindness and respect his entire life. A special thank you to Brooke Burke-Leonard for being there for us from day one through his final moments.”
