Why should you choose a local independent veterinary practice like Dunwoody Animal Medical Center instead of a corporate practice?
Personalized Care
One of the biggest perks of choosing an independent practice is the personalized care and attention your pet receives. When you walk through our doors, you're not just another number in the system. You're part of our extended family! When it comes to making decisions on the best course of treatment for your pet, corporate veterinarians are typically governed by pre-defined, rigid policies and procedures. However, corporate vaccine protocols and “standards of care” may not be what’s best for your pet.
All veterinarians have your pet’s best interest at heart, regardless of whether they work within an independently or corporate owned practice. However, vets operating in independent practices like ours, are empowered to resolve all treatment decisions in house, right away, using their own clinical judgement and have the freedom to innovate and adapt to meet the ever-evolving needs of our patients and clients.
At Dunwoody Animal Medical Center, we're not bound by corporate red tape or rigid protocols. Our 40-minute appointment blocks (instead of the typical 20-minute slot) allow our team the time to get to know you and your pets on a personal level. We learn their unique quirks, medical history, and individual needs, which allows us to tailor our medical care specifically to them.
Long-Term Relationships
Building lasting relationships with our clients and their pets is at the heart of what we do. We're here for you through every stage of your pet's life – from playful puppyhood to their dignified senior years. By choosing Dunwoody Animal Medical Center as your trusted veterinary partner, you can count on continuity of care and a team that's invested in your pet's long-term health and happiness. Seeing the same veterinarians on a regular basis leads to better continuity of care as the veterinarian is more familiar with the pet’s medical history and can provide more consistent care over time. This can be especially important for pets with chronic health conditions or who require ongoing care, as the veterinarian will have a better understanding of their needs and be able to provide more targeted treatment.
Familiar Faces
Speaking of our team, you'll always be greeted by familiar faces at Dunwoody Animal Medical Center. Our dedicated veterinarians and support staff aren't just colleagues – we're a tight-knit group who are passionate about providing the best possible care to every patient that walks through our doors. So, you can rest easy knowing that your beloved pets are in the hands of people who genuinely care about their well-being.
Community Connection
As a local independent practice, we're deeply rooted in our Dunwoody community. We live here, work here, and play here – just like you! Supporting local businesses isn't just a trend; it's a way of life. When you choose us for your pet care needs, you're not only investing in the health of your furry family members, but you're also investing in the prosperity of your community. And that's something we can all feel good about!
