Had a medical emergency with my lil fur baby and, although they are not his regular vet clinic, they took him right in and saved his life! Plus, they called the next day to check on him! They really care about all animals, even those who are not clients! I will be going back!

Linda Martin

I trust and appreciate the quality of care that my fur baby receives at AMSC for both medical care and when we board her on vacation. It is comforting to know should a medical emergency arise while we are away that she is on site and will receive treatment right away. I highly recommend Animal Medical for pet family.

Cole Kliment

We've taken all of our pets to Animal Medical & Surgical. The staff and doctors are always sensitive to our needs, and treat our pets with love. We feel like they're all part of our family!!!

Alan Keller

I would give 6 stars but 5 was the most offered. When our cat needed help they got us in right away. They were knowledgeable and caring. I would recommend AMSC to any pet owners who want the best care for beloved pets. Thanks to the entire staff.

Audrey Franek

I can always get an appt. when needed. Everyone in the office is very friendly. They really care about the pets. The office is very pet friendly too. Always clean!

Gregory Mahnich

Staff is always courteous and willing to spend quality time in the care of our senior pet. No question is considered trivial and answered in full detail. Highly recommend their services!

David Ferguson

We can always count on getting the best treatment here. They always go the extra mile, and the staff is wonderful.

PJ Brown

Our cat Possum is 15 now. She has always been treated by the caring people at Animal Medical and Surgical. It doesn't make her like her visits though, lol

sheila peck

The best place to take all of your sweet fury friends. They are warm and welcoming, and always willing to help.

Danielle Kenyon

These wonderful gals and guys are part of our family! They've taken excellent care of all our critters (8 so far) for over 15 years. We highly recommend them!

It was approximately one month ago that my service dog fell very ill while I was on vacation out of the county. Our good family friend always watched our dogs and she lives north west of Atlanta away from my usual vet. My dog Whiteny was geriatric but the decision to put her to sleep was the most difficult decision I have yet to make in my life. My friend suggested we could go to her vet to put her to sleep which was Animal Medical and Surgical in Canton. We went and the staff went above and beyond to ensure the proper care, compassion, and comfort that both Whitney and I needed at the time. They were professional but demonstrated an exceptional level of bedside manner. My Whitney does with dignity and comfort at this hospital which is the only thing I wanted for her at the end. This vet donated money to the Univeristy of Georgia in my Whitneys name after she passed to fund their veterinary medicine program to help other dogs like mine. I only went her once but it was an experience I will never forget. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the team of doctors and nurses and staff that took care of us that day. Your kindness is recognized and greatly appreciated with no real words available to truly express the meaning of your level of care you provided to us. Thank you.

Jay de leon

I loved how they treated my parakeet well. The education I learned is worth it!

Jessic Perkerson

They took amazing care of our cat, Gwen, after she was attacked by a dog. They were so focused on getting her better, and Gwen LOVED going there. Our cat was genuinely excited to go see her people.

Lisa Bryant

Dr T has been caring for our pets for 7 years now and He is the BEST!!!!!

soulessloner

This place does not care about the well being of your dog!!! All they want is your hard earned money!!!! Stay away!!

Michael Ruhe

My dog loves this place everyone is so good with pets and takes the time to understand both pet and parent needs.

Tyler Williams

This place is the best place to get your animals checked out and cared for. My guinea pig Juno came in last week with severe pneumonia dying in fact and they put her on a breathing treatment and suspension fluid medicine. Each day she got pergressivly better and looked better and better every day. Today in fact we came in and got her checked up on to see if she needed to continue treatment, the best vet checked her out and gave us the ok and didn't charge us for the checkup. These people are a God Send and made my baby better again I can't thank them enough for the quality care and expertise.

Chuck Kissell

Always feel they put our puppies first in all they do. Compassionate, and have always been able to get in to see the doctor in an emergency. Everyone is very nice and friendly, always knowledgeable and informed.

Jeff Cheely

The staff is very friendly and the facility is very clean. I drive a little further just so they will take care of my dogs. They have also taken good care of my pets when I've gone on vacation. I highly recommend Animal Medical and Surgical Center!

Clark Yokley

Our regular vet was closed today so we called the office and got a 10:15 am appointment. We were very concerned with our 10 yr old shih tzu who wasn’t acting herself and stomach very tight. Dr Duprel and her tech were excellent with our dog and took time to discuss, take X-rays and confirm there was nothing to be alarmed about. We are very appreciative of the personal attention and professionalism of the whole staff. Thank you!

Karin Rubin

Words are beyond praise for the doctors and staff of AMSC! Our expectations for our babies are exceptionally high, and they surpass our expectations every time! Dr Duprel has been our Vet for ALL our animals for 18 years!! They take care, give love and go the extra miles - saved many of our fur babies!! Thank you AMSC and Dr Duprel!

SpeedDemon416

I just want to say how fantastic you guys are. All of the staff is so friendly, Dr. Tarabula was excellent. I'm just so glad I found a vet clinic that is trustworthy and I came walking out feeling like Capone got the best treatment and recommendations. Seriously, thank you guys so much.

Ryan Dundas

We have four dogs and we train dogs for a living. Two of our four dogs are serious (aggressive) working dogs. The staff handled it so well always asking US how they should go about things that would be quick and efficient with our dogs and the least amount of stress on us all. We also took many of our "green" dogs there. So all in all we were bringing in dogs just about weekly. They did awesome. Their prices arent cheap, but they aren't too expensive either. We recently moved and are almost considering making the 8 hour drive just to use this vet! THEY ARE EXCELLENT!

Vanessa Alvarado

My hamster had an abscess that had gotten infected and I called everywhere to find a vet that would be able to see my little guy. They were able to get me in the same day. The staff was incredibly friendly and as well as Dr. Tarabula. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.

nate drake

Had an appointment today with Angela Duprel, she was amazing, very knowledgeable, very detailed, and caring, loving for my dog Myia, she clearly explained to me about my dogs condition that other vets didn't tell me, (Probably because they didn't know) My Vet for Life !!!!

Brandon Davis

The staff was very nice and had great customer service the vet was very knowledgeable with my African grey parrot I would recommend them to anyone

Perry Holobach

I cannot say enough positive things about this place! Doc T was fantastic with my dog, the entire staff was so friendly. They understood that he was anxious (I was anxious) and accommodated us with no issues! We even had a cancer scare and I felt like I was in very capable hands the entire process. Five stars!

Carla M.

Today I took my fearful dog to see Dr Duprel who has been his vet for 7 years. She and the staff are just awesome. She got down on the floor to let him warm up to her and within minutes he was in her lap licking her. They didn’t have to even muzzle or possibly sedate him! He never jumped when given his shots or blood drawn. I love you Dr Duprel and staff. I can’t say enough at how happy we are! 5 stars from this happy mama! Carla and Stryker

Mike Kowalski

Took great care of my ball python. A bit pricey but they are very friendly and it's nice to have a vet that takes care of reptiles.

Rachel Kolumber

This has been our first experience with a veterinarian and wow! What an awesome team of doctors and staff are here at the Animal Medical and Surgical Center! Additionally, our pet is a Conure (parrot) so we've been pleased and impressed with the knowledgeable service given to us, since bird care is not as common as cats or dogs! Dr. Duprel was incredibly patient with us, answering all of our questions and spending plenty of time with us, acclimating us to life with birds! Extremely friendly staff, everyone we've come into contact with, even over the phone, and always accommodating! Clean and welcoming!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Melanie Malloy

The women that work there are extremely friendly, Plus I love Dr. Marrinson !! Great addition to your practice!!

Alivia Roberts

What an AMAZING feeling it was to walk out of a vets office knowing what you have been told was not only truthful, but very comforting. I have a bearded dragon and it took about 5 calls before I found Animal Medical...so so so glad I did. This was and is a place I will be trusting from now on with Dragon.

Linda Richards

Dr. Marrinson and her team saved my dogs life. Their expertise and quick thinking helped my Jemma survive a difficult surgery. I am grateful for the love, care and support I received at this facility.

Kalis Iacon

Dr. Tarabula did everything he could for my baby and even worked with the fact that I had a limited budget. Sadly she passed away a few hours after getting home, but I was expecting it the night before. Dr. Tarabula has seen many of my pets and I will continue to see him for all my animals.

Sandra M. Ferguson

We can always count on getting the best of care for our four animals. I have complete confidence of their diagnosis and treatment.

Rhonda Harbin

I have been visiting Dr. Tarabula's office for 20 years now. I would not consider taking my dogs anywhere else...unless referred by Dr. Tarabula. My dachshund Cody at the age of 16 lost the use of his back legs. Dr. Tarabula sent us to an incredible spine surgeon who did spine surgery and restored Cody's ability to walk. He RAN around until he was 18 years old... because of the incredible care he received throughout his life by Dr.Tarabula and his staff, he was able to live a long healthy life. I have three fur babies that are soon to be 13..12 and 7... Dr. Tarabula also removed a cancerous tumor from my beagle just a few months ago and she's doing fabulous. I just don't trust anyone else with my dogs. I HIGHLY recommend Animal Medical and Surgical Center. Thank You Dr.Tarabula and staff for the incredible care you have given my animals !! You guys are THE BEST ❤

Carol Phyfe

We had an emergency the day after Christmas with our 12 year old dog, he had trauma to the neck. He was suffocating ,and we had to make the decision to put him to sleep. He had been with us more than half my daughters life and she doesn't even remember life without him. We did not have the fee at that moment, it being an emergency and unexpected expense after Christmas, and had not budget for it that day. We told them this when we first went in, so it wasn't a surprise to them when we were ready to leave. The Vet told us to wait out front and they would bring him out to our car, we wanted to take him home for burial. While waiting the front office person came out, and told us to leave that she was not releasing the body til full payment was made. We tried to work out any kind of payment arrangement that would be satisfactory for them, and she refused anything, saying she was keeping his body, no exceptions. We fully intended to pay, my daughter was traumatized and wanted to take him home, there was no compassion and not even a nice demeanor, she was rude, and basically said she didn't care how much we were hurting. In complete contrasted the Vet, a woman,( I don't know if they have more than one Vet in that office) was caring, compassionate, concerned and very empathetic towards our grief and distress, she also told us she would have him brought to our car for us to wait, which we were doing when the front office woman, shoulder length straight blond hair, in case you ever have to deal with her, came out while we were waiting and told us we were not getting him, my daughter was inconsolable. I will never go there again because of the actions of this front office person. Again, one of the most compassionate and gentle Vets I have ever used, she would be my choice for life time care of all my pets, if she had a more compassionate office staff, I thank her for her compassion and understanding. I would give her a 5 star rating, but with our deceased family members body still there tonight, and being held for ransom, I have to give the clinic a 1 star, and would give a 0 star if that were an option. If any one knows if they can or can not do this legally please let me know. I'm not asking a lot just a payment plan, and our loved ones body for burial, so that we all can have some closure. Unless you have pets, you cannot understand the trauma my family is going thru tonight. Again 5* Vet with a 1* for one of the front staff people. *********************************************************************************************I would now like to amend this review. Apparently the Vet and the technicians did not know what was happening out front when this person told us to leave that we were not getting his body. After contacting the Office manager and Vet and letting them know what had happened, they immediately released our pets body to us. They were all but the 1 woman, so apologetic and compassionate, warm and caring. At this point I would def use this clinic as my primary care doctor for my other pets, even if this 1 staff member is still there after this mess she started. I would do this because this Vet is one of the kindness and most caring I have ever used, She is what a Vet should be, and the office manager is the same. With all this said I now change my 1 star rating to a 5 star, as I pretend the one rotten apple is not included in this rating. It is well worth your time even if you have to put up with er, to have your pet get the excellent loving care that they will receive at this clinic !!

Kathleen Fisher

Great experience every time . Chuck and I like the friendly attitude as well as the profesionalism of the Vets, the aasistants and the staff. The place is clean, light and highly efficient . The prices are competative . We would recomend without reservation.

Nancy Johnson

Love this clinic! Staff and Doctors are awesome! Highly recommend.

Brittany Stewart

I boarded my dog with them for a week while on vacation. She is paralyzed in her hind legs and requires special care. When I returned to pick her up, I was horrified to find out I had been lied to everyday while I was away. She had not been kept in her playpen and they had not changed her diapers regularly or even used the supplies which I had brought for them. They had kept her in one of their cages where she was left to urinate on herself as evidenced by the sores on her bottom and the burns on her feet and legs. The desitin they applied to try to cover for this mistreatment finally led to zinc poisoning and I had to rush my dog to an emergency vet when she developed hemolytic anemia as a result. Her red blood cell count had dropped to only 9% and she required two blood transfusions to save her life. If you love your dog as I do, stay away from this Veterinarian.

Jim Laubler

They are clean, professional, personable, and seem to really be interested in your pet. Their prices are competitive. And, they are full service (medical, grooming, and boarding). Don't forget to ask for the veterans discount.

Paula Landerfelt

We have used Animal Medical and Surgical Center for over 20 years. They have always taken exceptional care of our dogs. When ever they have had to stay, the staff will call 2 to 3 times a day to let us know how they are doing. They always give information of different options and allow us to choose what is best for us and our pet. No "high pressure sales". You can tell that they all love their jobs and truly care about your pet.

ola jones

Dr Tarabula Best vetenarian ever. My babies love him!!!

Kala Stiles

Quick and efficient. They take wonderful care of my dog and cats and are understanding with budget concerns.

George Telford

I have been going to Dr.Tarabula for over 16 years. I have always been able to have positive results,with him and any of his staff. I would recommend him and his business,to anyone that would like to feel secure that their pet is in good hands.

Christopher Lohmeyer

First visit was great. The second visit was a problem. The owner has no clue about birds, and will never see ours again.

Brittany Higgins

I had such a pleasant experience coming to this vet for the first time with our new rescue dog. I had been using another vet since 2007 and after very expensive billing and having extensive treatment pushed on us there (for our dog who was very old and near the end of her life), I decided to change vets to AMSC after a friend recommended it. They were incredibly nice, informative and caring. I will definitely be back with my other dog, as I know they will give her the care she needs.

K Beedle

I always feel like my pets are getting the best possible care from the moment we walk in the door. I enjoy the clean, comfortable waiting room with the beautiful fish tank. The front desk staff is friendly and efficient. My pets have been cared for by all the Drs and their very knowledgeable staff. I would wholeheartedly recommend AMSC to anyone is requires the best care for their pets!

Leslie Taylor

Absolutely phenomenal experience, starting from the the front desk staff who are amazing to the techs who take such care of the animals and then to the wonderful doctors!! I immediately switched all 4 of my chihuahuas from another vet here in Canton to AMSC, plus my foster dog goes there. You can absolutely tell all the staff love their jobs which is so important!!!! This is my permanent vet!!!!!! ♥️

HopScotch Scotch

I have taken my cats to this vet service for several years. I love them and I love how they treat my cats. They take extraordinary care of them. They are truly special in their care for animals. I had one cat that 2 other vets felt needed to be put down. This vet center gave him years of extra life and joy. I will always be grateful. They are expensive. But they do go above and beyond. And I appreciate that.

Ben Kopf

Best animal hospital we have ever used, and we have had a lot of pets and a lot of vets. Always professional, courteous, prompter than most, and the doctors are second to none in fixing any type of pet problem or illness. They let you decide the course of action for your pet with their expert guidance and recommendations. The facilities are separated for cats and dogs and are clean and well maintained. The team at AMSC contact you regularly with follow up calls, and the doctors will talk to you after hours to keep you up to date during your pets course of treatment. Wouldn't recommend any other veterinary hospital. You get what you pay for, so you could probably find cheaper vets (and not by much) but you won't find better vets. Gus, Max, and Callie thank you guys!

Shannon Shaw

I went here for a few years (and spent thousands of dollars in surgeries visits and meds) and Dr. Marrinnson is a great doctor. However, with two dogs on regular medicines, their policy of not approving prescriptions over the phone to online vendors made it impossible and very costly. It is AMSC policy that you must pick up a handwritten rx from them in person. Which will then have to be mailed into the online pharmacy. This was very time consuming and burdensome when they could have quickly provided an “ok” over the phone. They make it so impossible to get online rx orders filled that you buy from them. Additionally, their prices are so heavily inflated. A $240 rx at their office cost me less than $50 online. I am seeing a new vet now and I was shocked when they suggested I order online to save money!

T Howell

Always, always, caring and willing to listen to what is going on with my animals. Always, always, treated my animals as if they were their own. They have cared for all of our animals throughout the years and we will continue to come to Animal Medical and Surgical Center for advice and help for as long as we have pets! Great Doctors and staff.

Gary Tate

We had to have our 16 year old chihuahua put down last week. The staff was so comforting and caring. It made a very difficult time so much easier. They even sent a condolence letter signed by all the staff members several days later. Outstanding care in every way. Thank you.

Elizabeth Hackler

I have been with Animal Medical And Surgical Center for over 8 years. The staff and doctors are very helpful and given my cats top caring treatment. The whole staff and team are wonderful and friendly and will continue to be my choice for veterinary services .

Shelby Jackson-Register

With the assistance of Dr Duprel and other staff members, we were able to get our dog's skin and allergy issues under control. We had been to another Vet, but they had a staff turnover and poor "bedside manner." We were told by that Vet clinic that our dog WOULD be put on THIS medicine. We had done research on the medicine they were demanding and voiced our concerns over the side effects that the majority of canine users experienced. Our thoughts fell on deaf ears, and we were told that we would be putting our dog on this, or the Vet "wouldn't see us or write another prescription." Instead of exploring other medications (we had attempted the holistic route,) we were told this was it. We later discovered that the manufacturers of that medication provide prescribing Veterinarians a heavy kick-back for each prescription they write for the medication. When we first met Dr Duprel, we had our dog's complete history from the food she was eating and what we had tried, holistic treatments, prior medications, triggers that caused her itching, etc. Dr Duprel listened, and then when we mentioned a medication called "Apoquel," she was 100% on board. That was several months ago. Our dog has never been better, and whenever we get a refill, the Vet AND staff members all ask about her and how she is doing on the medicine. They actually cared what we had to say and are just as happy with our dog's progress as we are. I highly recommend Animal Medical and Surgical Center in Canton. Although we moved 40 minutes away and there are other, closer, Veterinarians, we still make the trek up here for our dog.

Kaitlin Chellino

So friendly with owners and pets!! They took amazing care of my big dog. Wonderful experience.

Ashleigh Stafford

AMAZING experience. From the front desk staff to the vet techs and the veterinarians (Dr. Duprel is wonderful) all were kind, compassionate, and helpful. Very honest about pricing, treatment, and make you comfortable. I would not take my pet anywhere else! I have a holland lop bunny. It is great they see exotic pets too! Very knowledgeable! Wish I could give them 10 stars!

Mary Lynn Prescott

The best care that my pet has ever received!

RICHARD Rowe

Best vet center we have ever used. We make use of all services: physical/medical, grooming, and boarding for both our pets (dog & cat). Have not been disappointed ever. Most pleasant and caring staff. They even call us every few days when we board to tell us how our pets are doing, and if there is anything else we would like them to check for.

Dori Ayer

Yeah, so I don't know how this company got to #1 recommended vet & groomer in NextDoor social neighborhood networking website, but it certainly isn't because of their front Admin staff.... I have been using NextDoor for several years now to find new places go, new restaurants, and where to go to get certain services, so naturally I went there to find a new groomer for my dog as we are new to the area. After seeing all the glowing recommendations for AMSC, I call on Feb 8 to make an appointment to have my Yorkie groomed. I spend about 15 mins on the phone asking the usual questions and getting information and I liked what I heard so I made an appointment; however the appointment wasn't until Feb 19, but its okay I can deal with the wait, all good groomers have a waiting list. So after I make the appointment, I call my vet, whom we love, but she doesn't do grooming, and have my dog's vaccine records faxed over to AMSC. So I wait the 11 days and get there this morning and guess what, they don't have us on the schedule for today. The admin goes back to talk to the groomers and no one has any spots available today either, and next available spot isn't until Friday. But guess what they have in their, un-established patients folder, my dog's vaccine record.. Wouldn't someone have called when they received that and didn't have an appointment?? Someone dropped the ball... Not a good 1st impression, I have to say. Won't be getting a second chance from me...

Erica Chadwick

Great vet.. found out my dog had anal cancer at another animal hospital and the vet never x-rayed him. Took him to animal medical and surgical center and that was the first thing they wanted to do. Found out his cancer was all in his lungs and there was no point removing the cancerous tissue on his butt so they saved me thousands of dollars and most importantly saved my dog from going through a bunch of unnecessary surgeries at the other vet. Plus the staff is super friendly and very caring. You can tell they really care about your animal and they love their job. Would highly recommend this vet to anyone! They are great!!

Kelli Wear

We had an emergency with out rabbits and they were super! Everyone made us feel special and we are forever grateful. Such a wonderful place and staff.

Mara Todd

The level of genuine care that’s been exhibited by both the vets and every member of staff every time I’ve been here has been exemplary. You can truly tell everyone here is in this field because they love animals and want to help. I honestly can’t recommend them enough.

Maureen C. Allen

My dog deserves the best; only Animal Medical & Surgical Center will do! The kindest, most caring staff anywhere, state-of-the-art facilities and equipment...all supporting: the most knowledgeable, expert veterinarians! Complete care for our treasured dogs and kittycats, plus exotic birds and unusual pets. Conveniently, they carry food, treats and supplements. Their boarding accommodations are palatial and their groomer does trims or "makeovers"!

Bonnie Bolen

The doctors and staff at this facility are not only professional but are courteous and very caring in everything they do. I am a breeder and take my dogs and our puppies to them. I also recommend anyone in the area who buys our puppies to come here. I never have a concern when Dr. T takes care of my furry children who I love very much. Bonnie B

Julie Suzanne Ward

I have been taking my girls here for close to 4 years and I absolutely love it! Everyone is very friendly and always helpful. I am able to get in when I call with no wait. I completely trust the docs and I would definitely recommend Animal Medical & Surgical Center.

Suzanne Kovalick

We have been taking our animals to Animal Medical & Surgical Center for many years. They take amazing care of our animals and I wouldn't trust any other clinic to care for our animals! The staff and vets are caring, kind, and very knowledgeable.

Nick Lester

We have been taking our dogs for 5 years. They are courteous and treat the dogs great. Also, unneeded procedures are never pushed and only treat the dogs for what is needed. We have seen most of the doctors and they are all good.

James Farris

Okay, we haven't officially taken our cat (Lilly) to their office but we have made several calls. We recently traveled our cat to our new house here in GA and she was a little stressed. We called their office several times for advice and they were very helpful. In getting some things at a local pet store, they commented that they also take their pets to Animal Medical and Surgical Center. It doesn't get any better than that. When we do need to take Lilly somewhere, this is where it will be.

Macy Markum

SO pleased with the professionalism and kindness of all of the staff, from front desk all the way up to the vet herself. They are all incredible and so caring with the animals. As I am a first time pet owner, I had lots of "stupid" questions, and they answered every single one without making me feel stupid, and by assuring me that there are no "stupid" questions when it comes to caring for your fur baby. 5 stars over and over again! Thank you for all that you ALL do to help us care for our fur babies.

Margaret Deskin

Lucy, Kitty & Nash love everybody who helps them at AMSC Canton! Lucy loves getting her grooming and nails done here; Kitty likes watching all the goings-on outside the big windows when she boards and Nash didn't complain when he got his puppy vaccinations the other day. We are moving out of state soon and hope we can find a practice that we are as confident in as AMSC. They're terrific!

Jeremy Craig

Can't say enough good things about the people here. Today our Jack Russel Terrier was bitten under her neck by a copperhead snake. Being that we live in Lake Arrowhead up in Waleska my wife thought to go to Waleska Animal Hospital. It was close to noon and my wife was told that they couldn't see our dog until 4pm and that they were closing for lunch from 1 to 3. When my wife informed them that our dog was bitten by a snake they simply reiterated that they were closing for lunch and they could see her at 4pm. Really? A veterinary is there to give care and help save animals. Lunch was more important than helping our dog. So my wife called Animal Medical and Surgical center and they told her to bring her right in. Within a minute of getting there they were in a room, the nurse came in and the vet a couple minutes later. Within 30 minutes of walking in they had checked her, drawn blood, cleaned the wound, and was doing exactly what they are there to do. Superb service, friendly staff, very caring! Highly recommended. Thank you for looking after our Faith with a great sense of urgency.
