I cannot recommend Beltline Animal Hospital enough - they're staff is TERRIFIC!! I take both my dogs there for care. They treat my (very) anxious dogs with such care and understanding!

Our previous 5 star review was for when Beltline Animal Hospital was under Dr. Karlburg's ownership (which all of these other reviews prior to 8/2/21 are also). Dr. Karlburg has since retired. We tried calling the new vet to set up an appointment for our dog -- he's been having some health issues. This is actually not a convenient location for us - we've only been going here because we liked Dr. Karlburg. We figured we'd try it out because our records are already there and perhaps there would have been a knowledge transfer. The new vet may be fine - I don't know. We never got that far. When we called, the "intern" (she called herself that) on the phone didn't have our vet records - so don't expect continuity of care if you're a former client. She also seemed unprepared to book an appointment, and icing on the cake, she insulted Dr. Karlburg as a vet. Seems pretty unprofessional. The attempt to book an appointment left such a sour taste that we've elected to switch to a new vet closer to home . If there is no continuity of care (even the basic level of having our prior vet records) and they're going to treat us as a brand new patient, there is no incentive for us personally to continue going there, as its not a great location for us. Also, word of advice, if you hope to retain the retired vet's clients, perhaps don't insult that beloved vet when talking to his former clients.

Recently started taking my elderly cat here after taking my moms elderly rescue dog here, as they also provide services to the rescue she came from. The staff is kind and compassionate, and seem happh to work here. They know us and have lots of suggestions that are helpful. There is no attempt to sell uneeded services and they do not overcharge. Both vets i have met are compassionate and competent, and my vet bills dropped considerably. They do not have a beautiful waiting room and the building is not pretty and I could not care less about anything other than the great care and much lower prices.
