Wonderful service, great with my rottweiler Shadow! Very accommodating and caring staff! They made me feel very comfortable about the process when I was really nervous about it.

I was referred to VRSP by my primary vet for MPL surgery for my dog. They were able to schedule Willow for surgery promptly and were very communicative about the procedure and recovery process. Dr. Born was able to explain the surgery in layman's terms and answered any questions I had. They are very upfront about pricing. Pricing seems to be comparable with other surgical practices in the area.

As a bonus, Willow received a "Get Well Soon" card from her care team, which added a very personal touch and was appreciated. Willow recently got a little too active, and I noticed some swelling/irritation, so I called the practice over the Memorial Day weekend. Someone returned my call within hours, even though it was a Saturday and holiday weekend.

They were able to fit Willow in for a recheck and schedule her for another minor surgery to remove the pins in her knee that she had agitated all within a few days. Everyone I had interactions with was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend checking out this practice if you require orthopedic care. Unfortunately, Willow will be back to have ACL surgery on her other leg, but I have complete trust that Willow will be in good hands. Thanks, Dr. Born and VRSP staff!

Nice place, nice people. Still doing curbside visits. My pup had hip surgery here and things couldn't have gone better. He's recovering and getting lots of TLC from the Atlanta Animal Rehabilitation & Fitness group in the same building. On the road to a full recovery.

This place was amazing! We rescued a puppy that was dying from a hernia. They were the only place was willing to do the surgery. He made it through and is thriving! The whole staff was fantastic!

They took great care of our pup who needed emergency surgery for a broken growth plate. Glad to know we have such a good veterinary surgery close by!

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Dr Little, Emmi, Liz, Robin, Cheryl, every single other person I spoke with on the phone and in-person were so kind and helpful. They really take the time to make sure that you are well informed on the procedure your pup is about to undergo, and that there are no questions left unanswered. In the very stressful of time for me and the pup, I knew he was in good hands!

My wife's dog was struggling to walk on both back legs. They kept giving out resulting in her walking like a crab. Our vet referred us to them for surgery. They are an awesome group of people to work with. My wife was crying the day of the surgery because how small Bella is and because she is like a kid to us. They answered all of the questions she and I had and fit her in quickly.

They even sent a get well soon card. I was very surprised to see how minimal the incision site was and how neat and clean it was. Now we get to go back in a few weeks to do her other leg. I highly recommend them to take care of your animals.

They were awesome. Dr. Little is amazing - I wanted the bottom line of what I should do with Annie (my Aussie) and he told me directly and as nicely as possible. Ryan is just as awesome. He answered every question I had (and there were quite a few while crying) and made me feel like I wasn't doing anything "wrong" and made me feel better. I strongly recommend them (with the referral from your vet) to give you answers based on the quality of your baby's life.

Have been extremely satisfied with their service and attention. Brought my 2yr old corgi for surgery on her leg after an injury. After the consult they were very clear about all the available options, risks, costs and then their recommendations. Scheduling and drop off were very quick and easy and they were good about following up how my pup was doing, had someone to watch her the entire night she was there and updated me on how she was doing periodically. VRS was referred to me by my usual trusted vet but glad to say that was well placed.

Despite an expensive surgery it was still much cheaper than expected and their care and handling was excellent. The staff that worked with my pup even sent a nice card a few days after that was actually hand written. Her recovery has been going very well and they were extremely clear on instructions and provided all necessary supplies.
