We provide the highest quality veterinary care in a professional and compassionate environment. Our team is committed to your pet's health by excelling in the practice and science of veterinary medicine.
Pharr Road Animal Hospital started in 1974 as a small practice with two veterinarians and one goal — to become Atlanta’s premier veterinary care center. With a relocation and a rennovation behind us, we have achieved that goal. Our staff now includes seven veterinarians, two are certified acupuncturists, one is a certified physical therapist and one has a Masters of Public Health, the best support team in the area, and four friendly house cats.
We stay on the cutting edge of technology, trends and practical veterinary medicine. We utilize the most recent advances in diagnostic equipment, procedures, surgery and medical skills available in order to keep our patients healthy.
We understand the difficulties that can arise in medical treatment, and we do our best to make things easy and understandable for our clients through communication and education. We aim to keep our clients involved in the decision making process with regards to their pets, remembering that clients and patients are members of our extended family.
