K, is a native of North Georgia. She was born to be a veterinarian to care for all creatures great and small. As a daughter of a veterinarian, she grew up with a "backyard menagerie" that included not only dogs, cats and traditional farm animals, but ostriches, emus, llamas, peacocks, and more. It was not uncommon to find her caring for an injured baby deer, bird, or squirrel with the hopes of returning it to the wild.
During every physical examination, we perform a "nose to tail" evaluation. We listen to the heart and lungs, evaluate vision and hearing, inspect the teeth, scan the coat and skin, palpate the abdomen and examine joints and muscles. We also discuss behavior at home, diet and lifestyle. This helps us develop a complete picture of your pet's health.
DENTISTRY Because great dental care means your pet lives a longer, happier life by your side. And here, we will never settle for anything less than the best. Pet Dental Care Creekside Animal Hospital of Cumming, Georgia, provides complete veterinary dental care for dogs and cats.

After a month of making no progress with my dog, I brought her to Creekside. This is the place! The building is clean and professional. The employees are caring, kind, and knowledgeable. Dr. Knudsen is fantastic! If you are looking for a great practice to take care of your fur baby, you can't go wrong.

My shitzu poodle mix had an injury to her hind leg while playing on Friday evening. I called Creekside Saturday morning not knowing what to expect trying to get her seen on a busy Saturday without having an appointment, especially since Creekside is not her regular vet. The person who answered the phone was very courteous and helpful and told me they would fit me in but I may have to wait a little bit. Before I even finished my paperwork, I was called back to an exam room and greeted by a super friendly vet tech. They took her out of the exam room for her vitals and to be examined by the Dr which

Creekside has been the primary care provider for the entire 13 years of our "perfect puppy" Brady's life, starting back when Dr. Sam was the owner. With the exception of a short stint when I think there was another owner in between, this practice has been nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Dane, Dr. Julie and Dr. Tarabula show the utmost care and compassion for all of us. We are family to them. Twice they gave us more time with him by performing surgery to remove cancerous masses. He lost his spleen the first time and then part of his liver the second time. After each operation, he

Coal Mountain would not take me midday on a Saturday even though I expressed great concern about my best friend who had gone their his entire 10+ year life. They said they were booked - sorry, but that was that. I had been taking my cats there for over 15 years. Creekside worked me in even though they would be closing very soon. It turns out we had to put my baby down. They were extremely caring and I appreciate everything they did. The front desk ladies and the doctors were genuinely concerned and sympathetic to me and my cat. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs veterinarian services

My baby, Ariel, was very, very sick. She is my soul dog and I couldn’t stand seeing her in pain and so lethargic. She was diagnosed with masses on her spleen and her belly was slowly filling with blood. Her spleen was removed and within a few days, it was like nothing had happened at all. The doctors and staff at Creekside were wonderful with my girl and I can’t thank them enough. Dr. Dane even sent me a post-op photo. And her scar healed beautifully!

Creekside is one of the best vets I've been to in my 20+ years of owning cats. They are attentive, professional, and you can tell they really care about your pet. I've worked with several of the doctors there and they all take the time to answer questions and thoroughly address any concerns. When my cat was particularly ill, Doctor Julie called me after hours to discuss next steps and she comforted me when I was distraught. The entire staff is very caring and attentive. Highly recommended!!

Dr. Julie, Dr. Dane, and the entire staff at Creekside take the best care of our animals. In addition to routine appointments, they have helped us navigate chronic illness, TPLO surgery, seizures, and saying goodbye to one of our sweet pups. They provide solid advice, referrals, and options, and they clearly love our animals. Thank you, Creekside, for providing care we can always trust!

We are so happy with our experience at Creekside with Dr. Knudsen and his wonderful staff! Our 19 month old GSD puppy can't wait to get in and see his "people pack" at the vet!
Major is a rescue pup who had just come to us in July. He ended up having kennel cough and hook worms. We choose Creekside and couldn't be more satisfied with our choice. Major's info was unavailable so Dr. K gave him a thorough check-up and found heart worm. We were devastated, but Dr. K prepared us for the long journey. He was even accessible by phone and, if unavailable with a patient, he returned

Have used Creekside for 6 years. Loved Dr Sam and was happy with John. Have spent thousands of dollars there. Recently I decided to cut my costs so I went elsewhere for the annual shots. The new vet swore that 2 of the shots were 3-year shots and weren't needed and didn't do them. Took Mulligan in for a grooming at Creekside and got a call that his shots were only 1 year and he needed them. Told them to just groom him. Then got a call from the vet that he needed those shots and that it was unsafe for the other animals there to be exposed to Mulligan. Wow, what a shock. Immediately went

My beloved fur pet Bichon suddenly had a disease over the summer and I had to decide to euthanize her. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to do. The staff at Creekside tried everything and offered options but with her deterioration it wasn't plausible. It was especially hard on that day when we watched our fur pet slipping away so fast.
The staff at Creekside Animal Hospital was AMAZING! Dr. Shelby Hixon cried with me and when we left I felt like I had a friend standing with me during the whole thing.
Since then we have got a new fur baby. The staff at Creekside has been

Do not go here incase of an emergency. We were sent away without anyone so much as looking at my pup. At the time we thought he had a bite of some kind (snake, scorpion etc.) and had very little control of his back legs. I was a nervous wreck and would have appreciated someone taking a look and ensuring me that he would be okay to transport to the emergency vet. Instead they had the person at the front desk tell me that it would be better take him 20 min. Down 400. It was not a very good experience to say the least.

I was disappointed with a recent visit I had at Creekside Animal Hospital. My cat was seriously ill and we had come to the tough decision to put him down. The whole staff was incredibly rude and thoughtless when it came to the actual process. It was an emotional time and what was needed was professionalism and care. What your doctor and vet assistant gave was attitude and inappropriate behavior and actions. The vet assistant should be fired because he apparently thinks it's "all about him." It's not, it's about the precious animal and family that chose to make the decision

Dr. Adams and his staff are incredible. I moved from that area into the city of Atlanta and while I have other Vet offices within a mile of my home, I drive over 40 miles up to Creekside Animal Hospital because they are so caring. I suggest anyone who truly loves their animal and wants a great experience and not a "sales pitch".

After trying a few different local offices, Dr. Adams is my little Leo's regular Vet. Somehow Dr. Adams is able to give Leo his shots and check injuries all while whispering sweet nothings to him and still being friends. I personally like Dr. Adams and the entire staff at Creekside Animal Hospital but what's more important is my pet, my little friend is comfortable and happy going there for all of his treatments.
