Averill Animal Hospital

I went to this vet on 11/5/21 as my 3 y/o male cat was exhibiting signs of FLUTD. After a $300 visit where he was prescribed an antibiotic and sent home, his urethra fully blocked 24 hours later and I had to rush him to the emergency vet. The emergency vet explained my cat had been treated for a UTI (which apparently occurs in <1% of young, male cats with those symptoms) instead of FLUTD and that the vet should give me a credit for incorrect treatment. Not this vet. I had a hell of a time even getting them to return my call on Monday to get a script for prescription food. An all-around bad experience

Needed a vet for an older dog w/ear problem. Averill really came thru! Called & texted to make sure my pup was feeling better. Will 100% make them my regular vet after this experience!

Hands down the best veterinarian clinic in Atlanta. They have always been extremely helpful, professional, and provided exceptional service.

My seven year old terrier mix (Izzy) has separation anxiety. The staff at Averill handle her perfectly. During her first visit the assistant sat on the floor to help Izzy calm down and gain her trust. When Dr. Baker arrived Izzy had stop shaking. I came here through a referral then realized Dr. Baker was the same Vet Izzy had 5 years ago. Izzy anxiety was always less with Dr Baker. Glad to find a place with great staff.

Averill Animal Hospital has cared for our pets for 15+ years. I trust Matthew Nelson implicitly with the health and well-being of my pets. The staff is attentive and respectful. I couldn’t ask for more from a vet.

We've been to 3 vets with various (sometimes the same) issues. Averill is the only place that put 2 vets on the job to determine what the source issue was and not just treat the recurring symptoms. So grateful to know that these vets looked at the WHOLE picture and not just the one symptom we brought our kitten in for.
Yes, the initial vet techs did make me feel a bit rushed when going over all the symptoms. But when I received a call from the Dr. later that same day I did see that they had in fact captured everything I had said.
Tests were required - of course - no doctor is psychic and we shouldn

We have been going to Averill’s for 12 years and everyone has always been kind and helpful.
Jimmie and Jennifer are truly wonderful with our dogs and the Docs are very knowledgeable and conservative in their care.
Our dogs are excited to go to the vet and literally drag us into the building.
Whenever we have had to board them for any extended period I am confident that they are being well taken care of.

I’ve been taking both my current dog (Westie Bella 15 yrs old ) as well as my previous dog (Dalmatian Abby 14yrs old when passed) to Averill Animal Hospital since the early 90’s.
I’ve always been pleased with the service, professionalism and knowledge they provided.
As well as attention to detail they have always given me. Dr Averill himself. As well as Dr Nelson for years. And assistant Jimmy.
It’s only been recent (last 2 yrs) that I’ve had to visit other clinics because of the distance I have to travel to get to them now. Moved further away.

I am thrilled that I found Averill. I left my other vet and brought all 3 of my dogs to see Dr. Nelson. We could not be more pleased. We love Averill and literally every staff member that we have encountered has been a delight. Great job Averill!!!

We have been bringing our Pets to Dr. Averill for over 20 years. The reason for that is the quality of care provided to both my animal and myself during any procedure. We are so thankful for this business and would recommend everyone take their pets here.
