We have trusted the staff here to treat seven of our fur babies (5dogs,2cats) since 2019 when we moved to the area. All of our pack have received the very best care. The office staff is very friendly and on top of their game booking timely appointments, filling medication refills, and consulting one of the Vets on patient questions and getting back with their customers quickly. Their efficiency reduces wait times for nervous pets. The Vets and their assistants are very personable and wonderful with their furry patients. They take time to ask and answer questions about the animal's health, care, and behavior. Treatment is as noninvasive as possible. I have been through the hardest of all times at this facility when it came time to let our 16yr old American Eskimo Dog, Charlie go. The staff made a heartbreaking scenario much less painful, both for me and for Charlie by putting us in a quiet back room. They encouraged me to sit on the floor with Charlie on my lap for a time, so I could say goodbye. When I was ready, they came in and administered the drug to Charlie right there on the floor with us, which kept Charlie calm. The whole experience could not have been any better. Charlie's remains were treated with respect and I received his ashes in a lovely wooden box accompanied by a small clipping of his fur and his paw prints. This was hard to share, but its important for folks to know how the hospital staff at Cornerstone treats you and your precious pet at the most difficult time in their lives. read more

Love your pet? Hear me out :) My review will hopefully shine some light on the impact of the negative reviews below. Have you heard of the phrase gem in the rough? Some of the most fantastic food can be eaten in restaurants that are rundown and look mighty questionable on the outside. You know the ones. The ones that make you go ummmm no BUT your friend told you just how incredible the food really was! So this vet hospital doesn't have a fancy entrance, nor does the inside have pretty upgrades that will automatically feel all warm and fuzzy inside. What this place may lack in pretty upgrades it makes up for in quality staff and incredible above and beyond love and care for animals. It is well equipped with the medical equipment needed to care for your pet. My Annabel Lee (rescue dog with anxiety issues) walks into that building with only a tad of nervous feeling and if you had any idea how huge that was ... you'd ignore all possible cosmetic disappointments because Cornelia Veterinary Hospital .. total gem. read more

I have 10 year old pug that I took to this vet before moving to dawsonville and I loved never had any issues. Staff was very friendly towards my pug and my self. One time I had to take my pug to the vet at 8pm after hours due to an eye injury from my sisters cat.The cat had cut the bottom of the white part of his eye and had a big cut to the point that it freak me out and drove to the vet. I got there the person I spoke with saw my pugs eye and realized it wasn't too bad and it would heal on its own. He gave me to options, option one take some of the med he had given me for free and wait till next day or to call the vet. He explain that the vet would charge me so much for coming in after hours. Since I been to the vet for many years I trusted him and took the medication. Next day my pug was back to being him self and I took him back for a regular check and it was nothing to worry about. read more

Calm very clean and very organized experience however if there is an emergency those things still happen but everybody flies into action to save the animal and to answer the questions of the owners. Ive trusted their opinions for more than 10 years now and they've never charged me for more services that I thought were reasonable at any time. read more

The outside of the place looks run down, the inside looked old and tired as well. Front desk staff not very friendly. Had a 4 pm appointment, and at 4:45 we left without seeing a vet. read more

First off, I am very sorry to the two young ladies who have previously commented about poor service. As a mother of two furbabies, I value customer service and care above all else. My husband and I have been going to Cornelia vets for over 10 years and his parents for over 30 years. Yes, the building is small and well used but they know pet care better than anyone! We have used their services for regular check ups, beauty appointments, and sadly emergency visits. In one instance a vet technician took our beloved medical dog home and watched her while she was recovering from being hit by a truck. A Nother instance we took my kitten because she was having stomach distress and they informed me she was pregnant and even let me see her ultrasound. She lived seven years and was in good health because of how they cared for her when she was young, and when she passed they sent me a card of condolence. I agree, that going to the vet is very expensive but these are my children and I want the very best for them therefore I drive here when I could go anywhere else. I will continue to use them and recommend them because they have taken such good care of my family. read more

I have been taking my Dachshund to these guys for over a year now and they have absolutely blown me away with the kindness. The doctor is the sweetest and the staff is great also. Megan will just listen to everything you have to say and I think that's so important. Love them!!! read more

I was referred to THIS Vet. & thankful! Our cat had seen another Vet. who "treated" his paws & they only got worse. His infection got so bad he wasn't eating & no energy. Calling CORNELIA Vet. HOSPITAL was great, they called us in when a Saturday opening came about & treated our cat so well in 24-36 hours we could see a marked improvement. I'm sure all their Vets. are good but I have to give a special thanks to *Dr. Wonders. I would refer anyone there AND they were taking COVID Safety Protocol seriously and efficiently which made a positive impact for me. Very appreciative. read more

I have been using them for over 15 years and have never experienced rudeness only kindness. When my boxer Kasey got sick he was about 10 years old I took him there and he had breathing issues. They were super kind and helpful and gave me several options. Sadly about 8 months later I watched him pass. Our new boxer Max was very sick when he was about 5 months old from rawhide(never give your dog rawhide) it was 11 pm at night so I took him to Clarksville and they treated my kids and I super nice and treated Max like a child. I could care less on what the place looks like cause its whats inside that matters. read more

I completely agree with Suzy! For 10 years I have forked out a lot of cash to this veterinary hospital and for them to nastily comment that I'm 1 minute late, making my appointment a $95 emergency appointment, one evening at 5:30, when I had an injured kitty whom they knew I was bringing in from my quick phone call at 5:10pm. I still can't get out of my head..."Ooooops, you're late! It will be an emergency visit now!", in the most sarcastic tone I've heard since I was in elementary school! I'm not kidding, I've spent over $8000 with all my pets and farm animals with them in the last 10 years and they pull that on me? Even the attending vet said I'd have to pay the emergency fee. How rude and uncaring. I never want another one of my animals being treated by this vet and anyone who wants to board with them ought to know this too. My kitty had a stinky hole in his side and all they cared about was the money! Goes to say, now I'm a big fan of their competitor and I can't understand why others are not yet because there are rarely any folks with pets waiting to be seen and it's not a mad house like Cornelia Vets. Glad I'm done with them, Lord knows. Also, I pray that they actually love and care for the pets they are taking care of, not just scrounging around for cash like they tried with me. read more

I took my "baby girl" to this vet for over 10 years. Yes, the facility looks "worn" but I have been in doctors' offices that needed cosmetic surgery. It was clean and that's all that mattered and should matter. The staff was always friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I don't feel their prices were out of line with any one else. My German Shepherd was stolen when she was around a year old and was very cautious but never showed any apprehension when I took her in for check-ups. For me that said a lot about the people working there. She trusted them, that meant a great deal. Recently she passed and I cannot thank them enough for their compassion, patience in helping me understand the progression of her disease, the countless times they spent on the phone with me trying to talk through uncontrollable tears. You had a bad visit, an employee you thought was rude? Unfortunately it happens or perhaps a bad day, clouded perception of what was said or done. I highly recommend this Vet and know my Carlee did to. read more

Very rude vet. Would not let me speak continued to talk over me. Did not seem to care when my dog yelped and screamed when they were holding her too tight. Will not be returning. read more

This vet is very expensive. Their meds are marked up over 100% of online prices. The vets they have employed that I actually like were only there for a short while, unfortunately. Other than Dr. Wonders, the permanent vets in the practice have not impressed me at all with their knowledge or diagnostic abilities. I have switched to the Milligans (Chattahoochee Vet) for my horses and NEVH for small animals. read more

These are the most compassionate, caring, knowledgeable people around. They have been our vet for almost ten years, providing excellent care to four cats, two dogs, three bunnies and even three pygmy goats. They make house calls at a reasonable price, and went above and beyond the call of duty for over a year helping us to give our elderly cat with kidney failure a high quality of life. When the time came to say goodbye, the compassion shown by these doctors, techs and staff was amazing. We are so thankful for these amazing folks. read more

I use them when I need a vet. because every time I am treated very well I am a elderly person and they treat any animal like there own and me with respect. I have used them since 1980 and would not use anyone else thanks for all the good service read more

I have been using Cornelia Veterinary Hospital now since 1998. I have always been treated well and the staff has always been exceptional except for every once in a while there will be a sour puss in the place. This happens everywhere and that person usually does not keep the job very long. All vets are different - they are human. If you are not happy with a particular vet, ask for another one. I always ask for Dr. Wonders who I have known since I started going there. The place is always clean and fresh and the new Clarkesville office is very nice, clean, and comfortable. If there has been any problems with treatment there, it would be best to talk to Dr. Wonders. He's a great guy and cares very much about all his patients and customers. If you wait too long for an appointment it's because the staff is busy with a very important emergency where another animal is dying or in need of life supporting help. Just like a human hospital - they must take care of the animals that require emergency treatment first. As far as money goes, yes, they are sometimes high priced, but they do have almost ALL of the equipment you will need for an emergency visit. Think about all this before making bad comments about the service or just go someplace else where they might not have the equipment you need to save your animal. I'm sure there are other veterinary hospitals that are as good, so please check them out if you are not happy with Cornelia Veterinary Hospital. Your animals life and health is the most important thing and a good vet is not always easy to find. As far as the looks of the place - I would rather have a vet in a barnyard that knew what he was doing than one that didn't know what he was doing in a modern, beautiful, aestheticly pleasing environment! read more

I was very saddened reading the harsh words in the review posted below. I have been a client of Cornelia Vet for 6 years. On January 2, 2009 my Beloved Dalmatian was diagnosed with Kidney Failure by the doctors at Cornelia Vet. Because of the doctors at Cornelia Vet and their care and compassion, my "Jonah" lived another Year and 4 months. During the last week of his life, the owners and doctors of Cornelia Vet provided me an area in the hospital where I could remain by my Jonah's side, 24/7. At the time of his death on March 26, 2010, every one of the doctors and techs in that hospital cried with me as if he were their own. I never would have gotten through this had it not been for Dr. Keifer, Dr. Baldwin and Dr. Gray of Cornelia Vet. I will be indebted to them for their kindness for the remainder of my days. Many times in life we lash out at those that don't see things our way, or at times when we don't get our way. It is quite unfair to attack ones character because you think you paid to much. Today everything costs too much! I will tell you that no matter how much it costs, Cornelia Vet would get my very last dime to care for my animals in the very manner they have for the last 6 years. read more
