Services
Northside Veterinary Clinic is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We also work closely with local practices when special diagnostic procedures are required.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
To allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures, we operate primarily by appointment. Emergency cases shall always receive top priority, which is why occasional appointment delay is inevitable. Please realize that we make a sincere attempt to see each client on time. For your protection, and that of others, all dogs must be on a leash and properly controlled while in the waiting area or exam rooms.
Northside Veterinary Clinic provides you with a full library of pet medical information from the Veterinary Information Network. VIN is the world's first and largest online veterinary community, where new articles are added weekly by the experts at VIN to make sure that our readers have the most current veterinary information available.
We are always glad to accept resumes from enthusiastic, hard working, dependable, team oriented people who wish to join our team of veterinary health care professionals.

Responsibilities include scheduling appointments, answering the telephone, setting up new clients and patients, preparation and maintenance of medical records, admitting and discharging patients, filling some prescriptions, over the counter sales, mailings, computer operation, financial transactions, filing, and front office and reception area maintenance.

I wanted to thank Dr Hawthorne for taking such good care of my dog, Lucky, at the end of his life. Dr Hawthorne showed incredible compassion for my beloved pet. Thank you Dr Hawthorne

This vet clinic was amazing! My fiancé and I are originally from Tennessee but are in town for a couple of weeks and my dog started having some allergy issues. I called around ten other vet clinics and this one was the only clinic that could get us in within the same week. The staff was absolutely amazing with my pup and provided us with helpful information along with the treatment needed. Great place!

Life caused me to have to move, but I absolutely loved working with the incredible vets that took care of not only clients pets, but my own. Dr. Hawthorne, Dr. Hale, Dr. Becky, and Dr. Atwell are amazing vets that care more about the animals than anything.

Love this place. Front desk staff is great and very patient. Dr. Atwell is fantastic. I highly recommend him if you have a flat faced dog. He takes the time to talk to you and answers all of my questions even though I typically have 10 of them. I travel 30 minutes to come here. I wish I found this place sooner.

We have been going to this vet for our 3 kitties for since we moved here, about a year ago, and we’ve never been let down. We go quite frequently because our kitties are always sick and we always leave knowing we got the best care. Dr. Hale is awesome and always answers any questions we have and is always very respectful and kind. The techs are so lovely and sweet. Our kitty Moose had to stay a few nights this week and I was not worried at all because I knew he was in great hands. Thank you guys for all you do. :)

The absolute BEST vet clinic we’ve ever been to. Our kitty had an issue with his bladder and we took him to a different place first and they were just terrible… but this place has the BEST people. They immediately took our cat in and gave him treatment. Plus it costs SIGNIFICANTLY less than the 1st vet we took him to. Our kitty is in good hands and I’m so happy we found this vet!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Absolutely LOVE this clinic and the entire staff! Everyone is super friendly, caring and professional. Can not say enough wonderful things about them. The operations, policies and procedures are amazing. Dr. Puckett & Dr. Atwell are the owners and have done a great job implementing policies, procedures and day to day operations. Your own personal veterinarian calls you directly to discuss any type of blood work or issues that your pet may have. (Not a vet tech like most clinics) Our personal Dr. is Dr. Hawthorne and she is AMAZING! She is very hands on with her patients and clients. She truly does
