Winder Corners Animal Clinic - Winder, Georgia

I recently moved to the area and my Great Dane was having some neck issues which was also affecting his walking. I was able to call and get him an appointment for the same day this past Friday. Everyone there was great from the check-in staff, the Vet Tech, to the provider. Dr. Samples was absolutely wonderful; explaining everything in detail and going over differentials regarding my dogs diagnosis and allowing me to be involved and feel involved in his care. I love that they are very transparent with pricing upfront and let you know ahead of time of what to expect, which is amazing also. After discussion, we opted to go the medication route and see how my dog did over the weekend and by the next afternoon, I could tell a difference in my dog. He is actually raising his head again and walking better. He’s a 10 year old Dane so he’s not as young as he once was! I will absolutely be returning with him and my other animals I have for them to help care for!

Just recently started going here, and they have been nothing but wonderful. They did an Exploratory Laparotomy on my puppy, and the vet was very detailed and kept me updated on what they found. I have also called them many times with questions, and they are always so polite. The front desk ladies know my pup by name and always greet her when she comes in.
Here are some pictures of my puppy only two days after her surgery, already wanting belly rubs!

Great group of people who are passionate about their job and the people that aren’t always easy to work with. Thanks for caring about the pet parent too

I will continue to use this place because overall they are good. There’s just one thing…

*I would’ve given 5 stars but communication wasn’t great. Brought my cat for grooming, specifically because he was matted.
A $100 quote before he got shaved then a surprising $35 fee when I picked him up for the mats. That should have been communicated beforehand. At least I know for next time.

Dr. Fields was so great at our first visit. She was very personable and knowledgeable and she really seemed to care about both my dogs overall health and well being. Not to mention the staff were so nice as well, even with my crazy puppy. Had a great experience overall and I look forward to continuing my dogs care with these guys.

Everyone at the clinic made my senior boy feel right at home on his first visit! Thanks for taking us on as new clients! Looking forward to many years of great care!

I was a 30 year customer of this practice. The Drs. Cobb were fantastic and I started going there when they were next to the Publix in 1994. I recommended them to everyone I knew. When Dr. Cobb wasn't available I saw Dr. Samples, who I think is still there and if you can see her, that is great. The whole front staff has also changed and Jennifer isn't there either.

But I can deal with a people change if I think my animals are getting good care. This too has also changed, and it's unacceptable.

My little Jack Russel had a spot on her jaw that was raw and looked like it hurt. I took her in. I was seen by the new Dr., Dr. Kero. Dr. Kero told me that it was likely bad dental care but she couldn't see for sure, and recommended we schedule pulling six upper teeth. I had to do blood work for the anticipated surgery to the tune of $508 and purchased meds for pain for the teeth extraction. They said to go ahead and buy that then before the surgery.

I called back before the appointment to discuss and asked if that spot could be something else, and that before we pulled six teeth could they take a look and see what we were dealing with.

They agreed, so I took her in for the anesthesia to see what this little spot was, and asked when I dropped her off that IF they saw a tooth that was causing that spot to go ahead and take the tooth. This exploratory piece was another $834.

When I picked her up they said she'd done well and when I asked if they looked at the tooth they said they didn't have time to do that, and I'd have to schedule another appointment for anesthesia and to take teeth. They also said they'd scraped the spot to do a biopsy.

Long story short my little Lulu had Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Had I not asked them to not pull teeth, they would have pulled six teeth and caused unbelievable pain and suffering to my little dog. It wasn't hygiene, it was cancer. She passed middle of December.

I am afraid this practice is now more about appointments and dollar signs than the old country vet it used to be, and that makes me very sad. 🙁

I won't be back.
