I cannot recommend Dr. Kern highly enough. I have sought veterinary care in nine different cities…read moreacross four different states and have found Dr. Kern to be the most practical, reasonable, rational, kind, and affordable vet by far. He approaches each animal as an individual and is not opposed to sharing and/or listening to the voice of pet owners when it comes to finding practical solutions to improve the health and quality of life of animals. His focus has always been finding the best solution for my cats' needs while staying within my budget. Thank you Dr Kern. Five stars.

My second review was a bit…read moreunfair as I was mad that my daughter was not given a means to monitor her cat's blood sugar after his diabetes diagnosis. However I did not know there was a plan in place, and this week her cat is getting a patch that will monitor his blood sugar over 48 hours so they can adjust the dose. So it seems he is being treated well, and I am hoping our negative experience is not commonplace. They seem to be earning back our trust.

I am amending my review as someone finally called me back when I threatened to post a negative…read morereview (which I did anyway because it was the honest thing to do). They were very apologetic and lovely and got my daughter's cat in right away. (Note when my daughter arrived and asked to speak to the manager by name the receptionist was very rude to her, until the manager came right out to talk to my daughter.) The urinalysis test we'd waited 3 weeks for took 6 minutes in-office. So my lingering frustration keeps me from rating any higher than 3 stars. Turns out our cat has feline diabetes. A 3-week delay on this diagnosis - he could have died. We have him on insulin injections now, but he has had a seizure. We are not sure why because it happened over the weekend and we had to go to another vet clinic. At the other clinic we learned about using a meter to check her cat's blood sugar before and after meals and insulin. I was wondering how JAH was going to adjust her cats insulin dosages without a history of blood sugar readings. I am at a disadvantage because I live 350+ miles away from my daughter who is at school with her cat. I appreciate the new responsiveness of the manager and vet at JAH, however the receptionist continued to be rude to my daughter. I really want to feel good about the place that holds our feline family member's life in their hands. But the jury is still out.

Not only were the staff extremely friendly, but also patient. From the receptionist, to the vet tech, to the veterinarian herself. They all were kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Especially Alyssa, Sages vet tech throughout his consultation and surgery. She went above and beyond to break down all pricing, aftercare and status of his health post surgery. I felt like pricing was upfront with no hidden fees. Aftercare was explained throughly. Once again, Cope Creek treated Sage with such amazing care I don't think I will ever be able to go to another vet again!

The owners, Cori and Shane Province, decided to move to the Smokies to settle down and raise their children. The love of pampering and caring for dogs while their owners go out of town has led us to rebuild another small capacity, low-stress haven. As a former vet tech, I remember the boarding facilities being overcrowded and pets getting very little attention. I wanted to provide a more attentive boarding service with lots of playtime and less stress. We provide experienced, loving care for all types of non-aggressive pooches, not just dogs with special needs (needing medications, insulin, assisted walking, etc).
