Veterinarians near Piney Flats

“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 switched service from jones animal hospital,Paws give better vet assistance,and there staff is friendly,unlike some others“

“Absolutely love Dr Still and staff. They are so caring to the families and fur babies. Been with veterinary medical for over 20 years. This last visit was with one of my cats and they did an excellent job helping her. The past 2 years I’ve had to put 2 of my dogs down due to old age. They sat and cried with me during the final moments and afterwards. I couldn’t imagine going to any other vet office.“

“Have always have been very pleased with Cherokee Animal Hospital. They are very caring and seem to love animals. Have been going there for years.“

“Dr. Sarah Newell was the best....she diagnosed the symptoms of our dog Jazz with knowledge and kindness. Really appreciate her approach to caring for our dog.“

“I seriously wish I could give more stars but sadly I cant our sweet kitten had a little accident they was the only place that would let us bring her in on short notice without a appointment thankfully our sweet kitty is ok but everyone was so nice we will definitely be back thank you guys again ??“

“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.“

“Highly recommended. I'm new to town, grabbed the closest vet to me in an emergency. They squeezed us right in. Front staff so welcoming. Techs amazing. Vet was awesome. Very friendly, caring crew. Tests, diagnosis, treatment, follow up, was communicated very clearly and precise. I will be staying with this team for both my dogs.“

“Love this vet office and everyone who works here. I have been bringing our pets here ever since we moved here 7 years ago. The doctors and techs are knowledgeable, friendly, and really care about your pets. The office staff are always friendly when coming and going. Boone and Maple love them!“

“I didn't have a good experience here but no fault of the staff. I found out there my dog had cancer“

“Good people that take care of your fur baby's. They have always taken care of my great dane Samoa Jane and she can be a double handful at times. The only downfall is the cost. If you live on a fixed budget like me it's really hard to come up with the extra money. Other than the cost which comes with pretty much every veterinarian clinic I have no complaints!!!“

“All of my Precious babies have been treated at Robinson Animal Hospital. Lalleh Rose is loving her nail trimmings and super friendly check ups!“

“I have seen other comments about their prices and yes, they are a bit expensive, but in my experience they are a fantastic veterinary practice! I trust my animals with them and have always received top-notch care from them. I have several cats and will be rescuing another stray cat next week that I have built trust with. The staff here know me by name and know my pets by name. I have never had a bad experience with these fine folks and the care my pets receive is always top-notch. I've been with them for almost a year and a half now and I couldn't be happier. When I take my kitties there, I know they will get the best health services money can buy.“

“I called for an appt they told me what they had, we went in for the appt Dr. Lamons told me that without any testing she was not able to tell me what was best for our Shelby, however she did say what she could do and told us to think about it and let her know what we wanted to do. Before too much time could go by our Shelby got very sick today 11/14/2025 my family has grieved Shelby dying all day the love and compassion these people showed us was nothing short of how they would want their family to be taken care of… they made my family keychains, they had a very well constructed box to put our Shelby in and wrapped her so sweet. They gave us the the best care today they was honest, compassionate and so loving! The staff was too! Our nurse Billie she was amazing, kind and gentle no rushing at all the fee was fair. We’ll be going to take Sadie out an other Yorkie there. As far as money I can’t tell you about much but as for the caring in that establishment I can tell you you can’t beat them! 5 out of 5!“

“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.“

“I love these folks! Very friendly and so helpful ! They treat the patients so wonderful. It’s clean and always so quick to get in. No wait time practically. You call….they call back. When people love what they do it shows! Thank you for your love and care for my Scottie duo.“

“Amazing service! Dr Alvarez is such a compassionate doctor, he took care of my babies when we needed it the most. Highly recommend.“

“I can't thank Dr. Fogg and the team at Robinson Animal Hospital enough for their exceptional care of my senior dog. Dr. Fogg's expertise in dental care is unparalleled, and her kindness and knowledge were evident throughout the visit. Special thanks to Casey, the manager, for patiently answering all my questions and showing genuine concern for my dog's well-being. With their advanced dental x-ray technology and top-notch service, I wholeheartedly recommend Robinson Animal Hospital to all pet owners.“

“Brought my cat with a degloving injury to his tail, he was handled with care, and promptly. They charged half of what I was expecting, even for an emergency surgery. I would recommend this place. Friendly staff, kind doctor“
