Because her calendar was quite full it was going to be a few weeks until it could be removed. A few days after seeing her my pup began scratching it and it started to bleed. At that point I called to see if we could come in earlier. Dr. Douglas referred us to Dr. Mahovlich who did a wonderful job. My pups after care was amazing. For about three weeks I received messages from the nurse and/or Dr. Mahovlich checking in and giving advice. Ten days after the surgery Dr. Douglas removed the stitches and even though I'm not a medical professional I can say she did a wonderful job. My pup has healed beautifully. I am actually looking forward to a life-time of care here.

This tragic outcome raises serious concerns about the care provided and highlights the need for greater accountability in veterinary practices. Silvio, was experiencing intermittent back pain, which was managed with physical therapy. To explore further imaging options (X-rays/MRI) and to fully understand Silvio's condition, I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Gelernter at Common Companion Vet Co's Inman Park location to discuss the risks of imaging with sedation explicitly. During this consultation, Dr. Gelernter assured me: - Sedation was a routine, safe procedure with minimal risks, providing peace of mind. - Appropriate sedatives would be carefully selected specifically for a large-breed dog. - Pre-sedation bloodwork would be performed to reduce risks further. Despite explicitly asking multiple times, she never disclosed that sedation could trigger acute neurological events, such as paralysis, particularly in a dog with known spinal issues. On the procedure day (February 10), no informed consent documents outlining these risks were presented. My husband, who dropped Silvio off, was neither given verbal warnings nor was the promised bloodwork performed. Immediately following sedation reversal, Silvio was completely paralyzed in all four limbs. When my husband arrived to transfer Silvio to Blue Pearl for emergency care, he witnessed clinic staff dragging Silvio on a stretcher across the lobby floor. This directly contradicts later claims by Dr. Gelernter that multiple technicians carefully lifted Silvio due to his size. Dr. Gelernter told me her immediate reaction upon seeing Silvio unable to move was, "Oh my God, did you slip a disc?" Later, she asserted that other veterinarians confirmed paralysis can occur under sedation with IVDD, attempting to deflect responsibility despite having previously assured safety and never disclosing this risk. Alarmingly, she later expressed uncertainty about sedating dogs in the future if paralysis was a known risk. This inconsistency raises serious concerns about her competence and accountability. This error by Common Companion Veterinary Clinic devastated our lives. Adding insult to injury, Common Companion billed us for the procedure causing Silvio's paralysis. When I shared our experience online, the clinic publicly responded with misleading statements claiming compassion. Privately, however, they abruptly cut off communication. Our family's lives and mental health have been profoundly impacted. Caring for a quadriplegic large-breed dog is emotionally, physically, and financially exhausting. We rearranged our home, acquired specialized equipment, and incurred substantial medical expenses--all stemming from an entirely preventable situation. Had the risks been adequately disclosed, we would NEVER have proceeded with the X-rays. This is not merely an unfortunate outcome (which is exactly what Dr. Gelernter actually said to me); it represents negligence, incompetence, and a total lack of accountability. Three weeks ago, I formally requested that Common Companion: - Acknowledge failures in informed consent and risk disclosure. - Provide transparency regarding external specialist consultations. - Immediately review and revise sedation and consent protocols. - Fully reimburse incurred medical and rehabilitation expenses due to their negligence. They have not responded, yet quickly responded publicly to my Google review. My emotional reaction might influence my perspective, but my concerns are valid and rooted in genuine care for Silvio. Dismissing or minimizing this is insensitive and ignores their negligence's profound and lasting impact. Pet owners deserve transparency, accountability, and fully informed consent from those entrusted with our companions' lives. Our pets deserve better! No family should endure this preventable heartbreak. Included are images of Silvio on the way to the appointment and, heartbreakingly, of him the next day, unable to move.

Unfortunately they had to refer us to another facility for a procedure but we feel very comfortable with this vet and staff and will continue to come to them with all of our pets.

Also, they routinely give one-year vaccinations instead of 3-year unless you insist, and make no effort to consolidate appointments.

Since Dr Anderson left the customer experience and care has gone so far down hill. I am thrilled that I no longer live in Atlanta because I would be having to find a new vet for my fur kids but we have since moved out of state. Over the past year since our original vet that we saw at IPAH left to start their own practice, we did see one vet who was great but she too left right after, and a few other not so great appointment. The care level went down and was on par with any other big box vet. Not great, but the more egregious part is the customer service experience. I have a dog with epilepsy. He has been on meds for going on 2 years now. For the first 9 months he was on his meds I only needed to have it called in once from the initial diagnosis. that went on for 9 months. After he had his first follow up blood test (and once Dr. Anderson left) suddenly I had to start calling in his meds through my vet every month. That's fine but no reason given and no context. When I called the vet the frost time it happened they seemed confused and were like you have always had to do this...no. Nope. Sorry this is the forst time anyone has mentioned it. And I had picked up his meds monthly for the past 9 months without doing so. They argued with me. I didn't care and am happy to do it but that was news to me and not the experience we had been living for the first 9 months. They actually argued this point with me - but like how was I getting it f I have not been calling you? If that was something that was supposed to be explained to me it had never happened until that first call 9 months in. So that was missed...which is a pretty big deal for them as his meds are a controlled substance and legally I don't know that happened and was missed for so long. I mean it worked in my favor so I'm not complaining but its something you should know of you are thinking about becoming their patient. Since then, any time I have had to call them (for meds, a followup with questions, booking an appointment, etc) it is always multiple calls. If they don't pick up and you have to leave a VM, they will not get back to you. You will just have to call again. Multiple times have they called in my dogs meds tot h wrong pharmacy despite my having only picked it up at a singal location the entire time he has been on them. Once they actually called it into a random pharmacy in FL. I didn't tell them to do this. I didn't give them a pharmacy in FL to call it into. I don't know why and they never gave me an explanation. At my last visit which was sometime in summer 2025, we were planning a move having just bought a new home. We did not have a move date though as we were doing minor renovations to the new home. When you have a chronically ill pet you have to plan that out meticulously as there are laws surrounding his meds. The the vet I spoke to said his currently meds should be fine though January of the following year (so Jan 2026) but once we moved they could only call it in over state lines one time. All good. That was clear. We did not end up moving until Nov 2025 (well within that window Since that appointment, every time I have called in his meds it has been a battle (ans multiple calls) to get them to fill his meds. That doctor is no longer there. I have had to constantly reiterate that we were told point blank that he should be fine until Jan 2026. Well here we are in January 2026 the first time I have had to fill his prescription in FL at our new home, and they are refusing to fill it. Causing me to have to move his already scheduled appointment with his new vet. Please save yourself time and drama and go elsewhere. While this used to be a good vet that really cared about your pets they lost their best doctors and are not just an expensive boutique vet. While staff is generally friendly in person they can't seem to do the most basic elements of their job. Everything is a hassle and the manager in particular has the "customer service" voice down to a level that fells almost smug its so condescending. I would know as I have had to speak with him often. I fully expect some sort of retort to this and I wont be bothering just know you'll be saving yourself time and probably a lot of money by going elsewhere.
