I highly recommend this vet to anyone that I know needs one. I have always been greeted and they know my dog the moment she goes in and they know me when they see me. They even ask how Fiesty is doing. They treated her for heartworms a few years ago and didn't charge outrageous fees. They even kept her an extra night with no charge since I had to work. I love this vet and will always be going there.

Karen Foster

If I could give 10 stars I would ... We have been taking our dogs to Premier VetCare for about 10 years. In these 10 years my dogs have had many needs that needed a vet visit ... I have always appreciated the care they have given to my pets. Yes I have had to wait a littler longer than usual to be seen ... but I know that there were other pets with emergency situations that needed to be seen too. Has it happened every time? No. We have seen several of the vets there. One of my favorites is Dr. Jones (who is no longer there), she is TOP NOTCH and knows how to care for animals. Our pets have had surgeries done by Dr. Hatcher. He is AWESOME and always addresses any concerns we have and always tells us to call him if we have any concerns after we leave. Is anyone perfect? No. Is Premier VetCare PERFECT? No, but they work hard at making sure our pets are always taken care of!

We love Premiere Vet Care! Caleb Sowards is an excellent vet tech!

Coming to Premier was hands down the best choice I ever made when it comes to my cat's care. The team listens to us pet parents and always welcome all the information you can provide to them about your pet, without making you feel like you are rambling or they don't care. They make you feel like family! It always gives me a giggle when the team ooo's and ahhh's over my cat Precious wearing a harness and leash. My cat doesn't mind it and it saves her from being stressed in a pet carrier. It is quite cute!! The team are wonderful, the facility is clean, they do their best to help with the cost and are quite affordable in my opinion, and they deserve a 100 stars for their team!! Thank y'all!!

I took my cat Kirby in yesterday as a walk in for his ears. The desk staff were very kind and affectionate towards my fur baby. I was seen right away. The vet tech was gentle and showed alot of care. I had a minimal wait for the doctor, I expected to wait longer considering I didn't have an appointment. When the doctor came in she listened and was very gentle with him. She communicated well with me and even answered questions I had about Kirby's brother at home which was nice of her. They gave him a shot and were very gentle but firm with him knowing he was scared. I appreciated the care and concern this vet gave to my cat. I highly recommend them for your fur baby needs.

This place is amazing. They saved my fur sisters life today after being turned away from our other vet.. sticking with them!!!

Carol Butler

Excellent care from the staff not only for your pet but very caring for the family. Love it here.

mike mazza

First started going here when it was brand new. It was great. It grew so fast, they cannot keep up with what they are doing. A year or so ago, I went in for an appointment, waited over 45 minutes past my scheduled time, and, let them know this was inappropriate. I received an email back saying it was my fault for showing up early by 1 day for an appointment. I provided them a text they sent me changing they were the ones that changed the appointment, but, never a response back from them. I let it go. I got an email from them recently saying it's time to set appointment for vaccines. I followed the directions to set the appointment via email...following their directions. The requested times passed me by...no response. Today, I get another email saying the same thing.... time t set appointments for vaccines.They have grown to the point the are not keeping up on the important stuff...customer service. They don't seem to understand our time is just as valuable as theirs

Always friendly and very helpful!

Our senior cat was suffering from skin issues and fur loss. Being an indoor cat, I'm embarrassed to say he hadn't been to the vet in years. I wasn't sure how he would handle going to the vet. They were so kind and gentle with him, I was so impressed. They even offered to clip his nails for me, something that usually takes 2 people, a beach towel and Band-Aids when we do it on a monthly basis! It took them all of 5 minutes. The price was very reasonable (under $100) and that included a steroid shot and flea prevention medication (they told me the price up front and applied no pressure to get extra tests). We were able to get an appointment within a day or so and we only waited about 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend this office and continue to use them for all our pets' needs.

Craig McCraven

It has been awhile since we, (Max & I) have visited the new facility. I have NEVER experienced anything other than prompt, courteous attention each and every time I have been to see them. My son and I have been clients of Dr Hatcher for many years. My son left his dog, "Blaze" with Dr Hatcher several years ago while he and his wife went on vacation out of the country. When they returned they found out Blaze had passed away. They had attempted to contact my son but couldn't get in touch with him. I went with my son to see Blaze. It was on a Saturday and they were closed. But, Dr Hatcher let us in to view and pay our respects to our beloved pet. There have been times even with an appointment that I had to wait past our appointment time. But that doesn't make them "money hungry". It's like everything else we do...most of the time is wait. Grocery stores, doctor's offices, hospitals and so on. I know Dr Hatcher and his crew are genuine, caring, professionals. I have never observed any of the staff mistreating any animals nor being rude to anyone. I am delighted to have them as my Vet's and know Max is in good hands.

I brought my baby Gracie in for her annual check up and shots. Noah was the tech that helped me before the Doctor came in. He was fabulous, very kind, and super polite! He made the visit! They have always taken very good care of my Yorkie and since she is like my child, good care is important to me. I have had 4 legged family members my whole life and been very satisfied here compared to the other vet I used to use. Honestly though, the best part of my visit was Noah All staff was nice but I really felt he went above and beyond. Thank you.

Great place

Michael White

Have taken my border collie here a few times. We always pay the crazy price with the best flea prevention and get his teeth cleaned. Went to three different visits his shots. His teeth cleaning and took him in for a skin infection. Told the vet about a cough he had had for a few months just like a cold that wouldn't completely go away. Not going to mention the other stuff they did but we called after his antiBiotics from the skin infection wore off and the cough came back if we could do anything else. They told us we would have to come in and pay for another visit to address the cough They obviously are not trying to do what's best for the animal anymore. I'm sad that I changed vets to here and I feel so bad for my pup To have to make another trip for something that should have been taken care of in one trip.

Chad Walker

Wouldn't even consider taking my pets any where else. They are great whether its just a simple check up or emergency! They have wonderful caring employees that treat you like family.

Kayla Beecham

I use to work here so I am a little bias but EVERYONE who works here is so amazing and kind. They will truly take care of all your needs for your fur babies. They love all of there patients like they are their own pets. Premier Vetcare will always be dear to my heart and I will always recommend them and Creature comforts (their boarding and grooming business) to anyone I know or just meet. You will not be disappointed going there. Dr. Hatcher and his wife have done amazing things with both businesses and choosing their staff.

If you don't pay $45 annual fee to be a VIP patient don't bother going after hours. Even though they will tell you to come and there will be a $15 after hours charge the extra money will do you no good. Our dog was throwing up small worms so this was not a well visit. My husband was able to bring her when he got off work and arrived about 5:30ish and checked her in with receptionist. There were 1/2 dozen or so "VIPs" already waiting to be seen and all of those were eventually called back. He thought he would soon be called back but as more VIPs kept arriving they were getting called back. Finally it was just he and our dog sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting. Receptionist never spoke or updated on how long before our dog would be seen. He got upset, got a copy of our dog's records (6 yrs worth) and left. Receptionist never said a word and acted as if she could care less. If they did not plan on seeing our dog they should have told us instead of wasting our time. We now go elsewhere.

I was in the market for a new vet for my German Shepherd, and this place will be my babies new care giver. The staff are very friendly and the Dr. allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed, to ensure my GSD's health was 1st and foremost. If you love your fur babies as much as I love mine, please consider taking your babies to Premier VetCare in Smyrna.

Karly Brothers

Knowledgeable, caring staff listens to your concerns and treats your furry family like their own. Best vet I have ever been to.

Nichole Jordan

This is the only place I take my animals. The care and compassion that all the doctors show is amazing. The staff is always kind and courteous and I never question if my animals are receiving quality care.

Kerri Paschall

The quality of care is outstanding! I've taken all my fur babies there for the past seven years and would not ever consider taking them anywhere else! I love all the doctors there they are so wonderful,caring, & knowledgeable! The staff is so friendly and compassionate! I'm so greatly appreciative they are apart of our community! BEST VET EVER!!!! <3

Shane Webber

Premier VetCare is great. The doctors and staff and very nice, helpful and honest with you. They offer extended hours too in case of emergencies and it is always very clean. I'm glad I found a good vet to bring my dog to.

Christi Wright

I choose PV when my 10 lb senior Yorkie Lily had to have surgery. The doctors are friendly & professional. The staff are awesome. You can feel they all care about your pet. I get Lily's nails trimmed too.

Erica Weaver

Chloe has been going to Premiere since she was a pup and we have had no complaints until recently. It was recommended that Chloe have a tooth pulled as it was showing signs of receding around the gum and the dr advised removing it before the canine tooth is affected. I dropped her off and went over the paperwork with the young man. Specifically initialling for someone to call me if anything other than ONE tooth was to be pulled. I get a call around lunch stating that Chloe is awake and will be ready to pick up at 4pm. Then I was told they pulled THREE teeth. THREE. Not one. I'm sorry. But WHAT? I was in a shock and called my husband. He was told by the office staff that the initial cost of removal covers up to 3 teeth. They didn't seem to understand the issue was pulling Chloe's teeth WITHOUT my permission. I never received an apology. No "Sorry your dog doesn't have front teeth now". Nothing. We will never be returning to this clinic and will continue to spread the word to our friends and family how Premiere Vet is operating.

BJ Miller

Premier VetCare was fantastic. They took great care of my dog A.J. He went for his first official pet visit, and they gave him some meds. I brought him home and he ended up eating all of his meds. Called Permier VetCare and they said to bring him back in so they can get the medicine out of him. He threw up in the car and they gave me cleaning supplies to clean it up, which they didn't have to do. I'll definitely recommend Premier VetCare to my friends with pets. Thanks for your great service and friendliness Premier PetCare! God Bless y'all!

Natalie Kempf

Recently brought my two senior dogs to this clinic suspecting heart problems and more intensive, frequent care being needed. I was so impressed with the time Dr Walker took to explain exactly what he saw, all of my options and ways to save money on meds. He was honest about possible outcomes which I very much appreciated. My concerns were heard and I felt prepared for the road ahead. Of course it is also nice to have reasonable fees! Unlike some other vets, there was no unnecessary or over the top testing or treatment. In short, I'm so glad to have a great vet nearby who I can trust completely to treat my pups. That peace of mind is priceless.

Thomas Walker

Vicki Billue Baldwin

Premier was recommended to me by my pup's regular vet, as he was preparing to be on medical leave for a while. They performed surgery on very short notice and have been absolutely wonderful with her follow-up care!

Rachael Hale

Staff is always so friendly and they take good care of my cats. Wouldn't take them anywhere else.

Jessi Adkins

I love this place! I have gotten 2 cats spayed here and the staff loved every pet coming through. The price was shockingly reasonable and the doctors were very patient and gentle when handling my cats. My very skittish cat was surprisingly very chill with the staff. It's clean, and they provide snacks for you and your pet and coloring books and such for children. I had a post-op check up today and I was in and out in 20 minutes. 5 stars forever!

Katie Bolyard

We just got two new puppies and took them in for their annual shots. The staff was absolutely wonderful, especially Brittany she was very informative and caring to both of our guys! We are so happy to become new premier members.

Von Richcreek

Most amazing Vet we have ever worked with. They take great care of all of our animals as well as the strays and rescues that seem to find us. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and Veterinarians as well as fair and reasonable prices. I wouldn't trust my four legged family to anyone else. I do see some complaining about wait times and they can be a little long from time to time, but I think that just shows the level of care they provide to each of their patients. We have never felt rushed and the Veterinarians we meet with have always taken the time to answer every one of our questions to the fullest even when I felt that we had kept them longer than need be due to our questions. As for the complaints about seeing different Vets each time you need to understand that is their business practice. They do have a large staff of Vets, but you can also request to see the same Vet you saw last time if you prefer.

Henry Snyder

I have tried other vets in this area in the past and I have found that Premier has always given my pets the friendly, caring kind of service I expect for them. I have family and friends that use Premier for their dogs and cats and are totally satisfied just as I am.

alina patrick

I came in on a busy Friday without an appointment so I was prepared to wait. The staff were all incredibly nice and while we did have to wait a little bit, they kept checking on us and letting us know we weren't forgotten about. My cat is very shy and Dr. Letarte and Brooke were so gentle and comforting to her. This was the best vet visit my kitty has ever had and we won't be going anywhere else from now on.

Sarah Derryberry

I would like to thank Premier VetCare and Dr. Hatcher from the bottom of my heart. We lost our sweet Lucy a couple days ago. She had the pleasure of going there her entire life. They have always been respectful and thorough. Lucy had an invasive surgery done at Premier. There were risks, but if we didn't have the surgery, she wouldn't have had a chance. The day after surgery, Lucy was going down fast. We rushed her to the vet ER in Murfreesboro. They were able to get her stable in short amount of time. I was so grateful. We were filled with hope! However, the next day, Lucy could not hold on. We have been grieving tremendously. The day after she passed, Dr. Hatcher called my mother to send his condolences. He spoke life into her. What vet takes the time out of his busy day to help grieving owners? To witness Lucy take her last breath, twice (she died, then was revived, then died 15 minutes later) was horrific. I haven't seen my parents this upset in years. Dr. Hatcher, your call and words of wisdom was everything my family and I needed. We're are completely heartbroken, like you said--Lucy's purpose in life was to love us--and she did it exceptionally well. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

The staff and doctors are all very friendly and nice. They offer snacks and drinks for us and our furry baby. Price are also reasonable.

Kerry Weaver

I would tell my friends that the staff at Premier are friendly, professional and well trained. I would say that they are truly animal lovers and the best people to deal with. And I would tell them that I LOVE Dr Jones! She is so wonderful and is always willing to take the time to listen and understand my issues, whether it be with my cats and my dogs both. That is so important since I can always ask for the same vet every visit for continuity of care. Great place to take your best friends!

Premier Vetcare is clean, the employees are nice and helpful, and think our vet is great. All of the people that work there have always had compassion for our pet and for us as well. This place provides great service and care for a reasonable cost in my opinion. I recommend it here.

Louisa Hunter

I have been coming to Premier VetCare since 2005, I have spent thousands of dollars on all of my pets during this period. I needed one of the vets to call me regarding my elderly dog who is having issues right now with her hips which the vet is aware. She can't handle the ride from Murfreesboro to Smyrna and gets very anxious. All I wanted was to talk with Dr. Latart to get suggestions on how to make her comfortable because of stomach issues which she has had before and was given a probiotic. I was put on hold for 10 min. then the vet tech came on and proceeded to tell me I had to bring the dog in... I understand the vets are busy but that does not mean that they could not have called me. I asked if I myself needed to make an appt without the dog to see the vet.. she proceeded to make the appt. After thinking more about this I have decided to take my dog to another vet where she can get the attention she needs and deserves. I understand that Maddie has not been there since Jan 2019... I just had questions but sadly got nowhere.

Connie Norton

Premier VetCare has the greatest vets ever. They are always very caring and always give quality care and attention to my dog during our visits. I really appreciate and like how straight forward they are with me when it comes to the care and needs of our furry family member.

Dana Crouch

Premier Vetcare has not only the most qualified people working there but they are loving, caring and compassionate to their patients as well as the families. We will only use Premier Vetcare!

Collin Gentry

They have taken care of my pets since I was a kid, always been great with our pets and reasonable fees.

Joe Paschall

The staff at Premier Vet Care are outstanding. The ladies up front are always so nice. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Justin Weber

We have a rescue dog that is very mistrustful of humans, but the vets in this office have thus far been exceptional in handling and taking care of her.

Miriam mendoza

Great place caring and professional. Very welcoming and fast acting in the emergency I had for the furry baby I took.

warren mackie

If I have to be honest I would start by taking this rating to a negative four stars ! This place is Highly,Extremely , over priced for the care they offer.They are all about the money and not about the care of your loved one. There staff is arrogant and under trained.They fail to realize they are dealing with not only the lives of a loved pet but with the lives of a heartbroken human.They do not seem to understand when a persons pet is injured the animal lover could care less about how nice the building is .,As for the vets, I have dealt with farmers who had more knowledge about pet health than any of there vets they have on staff.I doubt this review will ever make it on line ,So I have opted to spend money on an advo pack in the local paper ,This will be a flier sent to every house hold in the area with a questionare ! lets see what the poll of public opinion really is ! It is pretty bad when 8 out of 10 vets at other offices not only agree but as well cant find anything good to say ! I will wait and see if the (administrator ever contacts me )!

Brandon Plunkett

This place has been able to help my dogs out. Lauren, one of the technicians was very helpful, answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Heather Adams

I have been going to premier vet for the last 9 years. When I first started going here I was Inlove with them and how personable they were, but ever since they opened that new building the experience is bad. Dont get me wrong it's nice in there and they are nice but no matter if you have a appointment or not you will be there for 2 hours and they don't remember who you are and here's the big kicker for me they used to be open on Saturdays and then they changed it to monday-friday and to be open later to make it convenient but they charge you a fee after like 5. I'm sorry but that is ridiculous. You decide to close on Saturdays, so why am I being charged a fee bc I work normal working hours.

Danielle Bartos

I think the vets and techs here are very compassionate and caring. The pricing is also extremely budget friendly, not to mention it's in a convenient location!

Cheyenne Grubbs

I highly recommend this place! I'm working in the Nashville area, quite a ways from home. I brought in a puppy & couldn't decide on a vet. I'm so glad I brought my corgi puppy here! They're so hospitable & care for my puppy like their own!

I would have rated this lower, but I did appreciate the fact that they had extended hours and were there when we needed them. That being said, I will say the way my situation was handled was very stressful and heartbreaking for myself and my family, I only wish that my regular vet had been a little closer and had extended hours. This past November, we had to have our 20 year old black lab put to sleep. He had been battling cancer for sometime and his last day, his health rapidly declined and we had no choice but to let him go. The only problem was when we found him in his distressed state, it was already 5 in the evening and our vet was closed. My mother uses this vet office and told us the have extended hours, we called them and let them know we were on our way with Sam. When we got there they took us directly to a room and did a quick exam. Then took him off to get his weight and start an IV. When they brought him back to room he was completely sedated, this really upset us. This was a part of his passing process and we needed to be there with him for this part of his transition. Instead, without telling us, the sedated him and then brought him and the bill for the services back to the room where we all waited. We then had to wait another 15 to 20 minutes for them to come back to finish the process of him being euthanized. I waited for a long time before I really spoke on this because I did not want to many of my emotions to play into my words, but after you have a pet with you for so long, it is hard not to be upset. There is nothing they can do to make this right and nothing they can say to make me feel better about what happened. I think the staff needs some training on how to be a little more understanding an sensitive to the emotions and needs of the pet parents. We have lost 4 pets over the past three years, three of them were all with in a 6 month period. We have always been faithful clients of Murphy Road Animal Hospital, and considered moving to this place because it was a little closer. It will never happen. First of all Murphy Road does not charge their pet parents for this final service, in addition the support and understanding of their staff during these situations have gone over and beyond any I have ever seen at any other vet's office. I am sure that premier is great place to bring you animals, it is just not for me. My animals are more than pets, they are family and in addition to great care, I want some compassion for my family in hard situations.

Thomas Barkley

I had to put my Cat to sleep. The Premier staff was soo compassionate in helping me deal with the situation. I would recommend Them to anyone going through the death of a pet.

Megan Delawson

Premier Vetcare is the BEST vets office I have EVER been to. I love everyone there and wouldn't dream of taking my babies anywhere else.

Shanda Hampton

We moved our older dog here when he got really sick as we were unhappy with another local vet. I could not be happier with our experience. The place is clean and every single staff person was friendly and helpful. They by far have the most reasonable prices. We had to say goodbye to our sweet CJ, but they handled that with care and compassion. Highly recommend!

Chelsie wade

Whoever answered the phone wasn’t very helpful at all. And very rude. I think they need to understand that in situations where people are needing to get care for their fluffy loved ones a nice voice always helps. Not attitude.

Christina Cavin

Unfortunately, due to a long battle with kidney failure, we had to make the very hard decision to euthanize our precious furbaby. I was really struggling not only because it was hard but because I wanted to honor him, keep him calm, peaceful and surround him with love in his last moments. We had just moved to Smyrna and had no veterinarian relationship yet. My boyfriend told me about Premier so I made the appointment. They got us in only two hours after calling, welcomed us gently and escorted us to a living room type setup. We laid his bed on the floor and laid beside him. The staff was so loving, sensitive and gentle. As heart-wrenching as it was; it was also a very beautiful experience. My boy was treated with love and was at total peace in his last moments. No stainless steel table, no rushed moments, just genuine compassion, sympathy and empathy. We were allowed to take the time we needed throughout the process to love on him, ask questions and say our goodbyes. It felt much like being in our own home. I can not be more grateful for the EXCEPTIONAL care we were given. It made one of the most difficult decisions and experiences feel as good as it possibly could. If I ever open my heart and home to another dog, Premier will be my vet, no question. About two weeks later, I received this card. I cried at the thought of my baby boy and our family meaning enough for their ENTIRE staff to sign this card and send it to us. I am floored by their service and care. Thank you Premier VetCare!

Brittany Lee

I have just started bringing my pets here the first appointment Tracy Newton an Dr did an awesome job

Kristi Floyd

Every time i have ever called this place, I get someone who most helpful and courteous and caring and patient with me! I'm glad we found you, Premier staff! Hannah was the kind one today and I am very appreciative.

patty davenport

I've been going here since they opened in Smyrna. Love the front desk people. Care is always great.

Abbie Normal

This place doesn't deserve one star. Don't take your pets here if you want good service.

Kevin Yuenger

Terrible. I tried to like this place because it is so convenient. Wait times are always over an hour. You see a different Vet every time and their opions on care, nutrition, and norms vary greatly. I took a 4 month old pup in to get her ears checked. Vet Tech did fine with getting ear temperature. When Vet came in, she let out a growl at the Vet, instead of trying to comfort her or make her at ease, the vet went to get a muzzle. This is a docile 4 month old pup. Not going to let them scar my pup into hating the vet every time. I walked out. Find a better Vet!!

Caleb Sowards

Great staff that really care about the well being of the animals they treat.

Danielle Whiteaker

I usually have a great experience here , I’ve brought my cat here since she was a kitten . Recently I haven’t been having the same experience . Specifically this one woman who works there , I don’t know her by name, but every time I come in she is never nice or even cracks a smile ! I’ve never been treated like this by anyone at premier ! Like I said before , great group of people but there was a mistake with hiring this lady !!!!

Alice Kelley

Premier VetCare has been the most caring and helpful vet I've ever dealt with over the years. They truly care about your pet. They staff has been nothing but extremely helpful to me and loving and caring to our furry family member.

halie shults

I have brought my dog here for years and we both love the staff here! I was taking him to Banfield before we brought him here and the client communication and care was nothing compared to Premiers. I get my money,s worth here and they treat my dog like family.

Elaine Campbell

Everyone was so nice, and they loved Levi! The Doctor was very thorough and answered all my questions. The clinic was very clean and had a homey feeling to it.

Jeb Sloan

Premier has taken such great care of all of my pets. They have always treated my dogs like one of their own. The doctors are understanding and help to explain and go over all treatments that are being done. I wouldn't take my animals anywhere else. Thank you Premier!

Katherine Bryson

The whole crew at Premier VetCare is great.

Charidy Burgeson

My family has gone here for years... the past two years have been a disappointment. They have no regards for our pets. They don't care... all they care about is money... we've lost too many dogs due to them refusing to give us accurate information... this is the last time... no more.. how ruthless could a vet care place get... I hope you're able to sleep with so much death on your hands.. FYI. If they don't think you could afford it the first route they go is to euthanize... They won't even discuss the procedures to save them. (We didn't care the money, we made it work) They won't even care. They will play as if they didn't see anything. (Proof: got a second opinion from a different vet, they told us "there is NO WAY premier could've missed this if they took x-rays"). They did take x rays but swore up and down nothing was wrong. 2 months of money down the drain with no answers... when we switched it was to late... premier failed to do thier job and the damage is to bad to fix now.. if only they could do thier job... we might be able to save our precious baby... our family has pulled out and so has our friends. Sad to see so much dedication turn into disappointment in the end..

We have had to jump through hoops with this place. Our family has been a long time customer of premier. After being denied twice to get meds for our puppy we decided enough was enough. The staff upfront answering the phones did not help us or suggest buying them online from them which would’ve saved a lot of time. Also get pet insurance if you go here cause they like to throw in some big numbers on your bill. Found another vet.

Joseph Bartunek

Great pet care for all animals

Carie Goud

I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. I moved from Smyrna to Christiana two years ago and I still take my pets to Premier. The veterinarians and staff at Premier truly care about my fur babies, their health and well being. Thank you Premier for always going above and beyond for Riley, Eliza-mae and Percy!!

Jane Mao

Prices at premier are way more affordable and reasonable! I asked for an estimate on a spay when i used to bring my puppy at Banfield and it was $300+ and at premier i paid $118 for a spay and medicine!

Lynn B

The staff is very nice and they are great with my pets!

Selby Stuart

The staff is really caring and treats each animal and their owners with respect in both good times and bad.

Desiree Nichole

I brought my dog to Premier for a second opinion after an appointment with a well known specialty clinic. The office was exceptionally busy and while I was waiting for the vet I scheduled my appointment with, another vet stepped into our exam room and asked if he could take a look to prevent a longer wait. He did a very thorough exam, discussed at length the situation at hand and answered the myriad of questions I had for him, and got my dog in very quickly for a much-needed surgery that had not been presented as an option by the specialist. To make a very long story short, I feel they have been honest with me, provided an excellent support system in dealing with my dog's illness and are always friendly and accommodating to boot. I drive a fair distance, passing multiple veterinary clinics on the way because my experience here has been so good.

Premier VetCare has the most friendliest and caring staff. I always leave there happy knowing that our guy is in great hands. They are the kind of people that truly care for your animals.

Peter Welshofer

I just want to say thank you for taking such good care of "Harley Cat". Everyone was extremely kind to me during a very difficult time. I wish all the fine people at Premeir VetCare the very best. Peter

Premier VetCare is a wonderful vet. They have taken great care of my dog and cat, whether it was just a nail trim or annual shots. The employees always love on my pets every time we come in to make them feel welcomed and less scared. When my fiance's mother had to bring in her Great Pyrenees for hip surgery, the doctors treated her with outstanding care and even took time to visit them out at her farm for a recheck because it was easier on her pet. The front desk workers are always smiling and making conversations with the clients, and the techs are always so caring when dealing with my babies. I would definitely recommend this vet to anyone looking for a place full of love and happy fur babies.

Lauren Martinez

This place is amazing! I will never take my pets anywhere else! The staff is so friendly and makes my pets feel at home.

Larissa Hubbard

Took my two little Yorkie’s here for a year while we lived in Smyrna and we loved it! Very good pricing and great care! We will miss coming here!

Skyler Durden

I am really disgusted. I called up tonight to ask for a quote for the following. 1) Feline annual vaccination cost. 2) Feline dental exam. 3) Feline full blood panel as my cat is 14 and has not had a full blood panel in almost 3 years. 4) 1 major tooth extraction as she has visible swelling and a hole and my previous vet in San Diego told me that tooth would need to come out soon. 5) I.V fluids to acompany extractions. The woman on the phone kept interrupting me, was incredibly INCREDIBLY RUDE, refused to quote me on vaccinations, full blood tests, I.V fluids under anesthesia (she would not tell me if the dental exam itself included this) She was incredibly rude, and just wanted me to PAY FOR A QUOTE IN PERSON... I told her that it was a very standard request to ask for vaccination costs, full blood panel costs, and she kept telling me over and over again that she couldn't give me the cost of anything besides a basic dental exam. I would NEVER use a vet that behaved this way. The woman on the phone was VERY RUDE. and I even gave her another chance and said "Look, do you want my business? And me to give you money? I'm just trying to get my cat seen and her infected tooth taken care of. She is 14 and I am trying to look after her properly. I refuse to waste time getting trapped into seeing a vet who won't give prices on the phone. She was rude and I told her if she continued to be rude I would leave a bad review. I am in tears.. and I am going to call more vets until I find one who has good customer service and good prices.. I just moved here from the West Coast and vets out that way would never have such hideous staff..

Ashley Colon

I am disappointed in not only the staff that work here, as the front desk staff and the vet tech I was in contact with are lacking customer service skills. When I posted a negative review on social media, the owner lashed out and started posting all of my personal messages to him, and my dog's files, as well as the invoice I paid. After I asked him not to, he did it again. He showed no professionalism in handing my dissatisfaction. Per his response below, I am not bullying, I simply am giving an honest review. I did not need a payment plan, as I paid out of pocket and paid out of pocket at the other vet I chose as a second opinion. I am paying out of pocket for the treatment she is receiving. I deleted my post on social media, not someone else. I decided to not have him trying to pick a fight because someone felt negative towards his practice. This is merely business, nothing personal.

Cindy Bradford

I have been shopping around for a reasonable rate for my litters of puppies. I have never been so out ragged by the prices that most Veterinarian offices where charging to exam a litter of puppies. At Premier VetCare they didn't steal your money.. matter of fact they where hundreds under everyone else's prices.. The care and attention that we got was outstanding... they came out to my car and helped me with all the puppies and made sure there was a room available for us when we got inside. I had several employees working on us at once which made the visit move right along... I am very impressed with their service and love for animals... I will recommend the office in Smyrna Tennessee to all of my clients... not only are the prices reasonable, but the care and attention is awesome... Thank you for treating us like part of the family... Cindy Bradford with Bradford's German Shepherds.

Suzie Thornton

Best vet in Rutherford County for sure! They treat your pet with great love and care!

Ben Griffith

Love the place and the people there. Great staff who know what they are talking about. Doctors are phenomenal and would STRONGLY recommend you take your pet there. Great with dogs and cats!

Danielle Nix

I have used Premier Vet for many many years. I love the Vets.. Dr. Hatcher is the best. I have never had a bad interaction with any of the staff. I have walked in 45 mins before closing and was seen and still there an hour and half later as we took two animals with us.

Lauren A

I would NOT recommend this veterinary clinic to anyone! My husband and I got home today from work and our sweet dog was hunched over in pain. We believe he jumped down from the bed or couch and had injured his back. We have just moved to Smyrna this week and had not found a vet for him yet. We searched online and decided to take him to this veterinary clinic based on the reviews. We walked in at 5 PM (This clinic is open until 8 PM) and explained to the front staff our situation with our dog, Bailey. They immediately told us it would be a long wait and we would be charged an extra $15 per hour after 5 PM. No one mentioned he would even be seen by the vet to make sure he could wait to be seen or were at all helpful. We immediately left and went to Southern Veterinary Clinic off of Mayfield. They were amazing and did not nickel and dime us to see Bailey and care for him. Stay away from this clinic if you would like someone to treat your pet as if it were their own.

Mike Jones

My dog needed to be put down due to age and health issues. And because she hadn’t been in in the last year the didn’t consider her a premier pet any more and was going to charge an extra 45 $. Luckily have a friend at Hillsboro animal hospital that got me in same day for half of premiers cost. Not nice to be that way when you already have to say bye to beloved pet

Keenan Daw

Wouldn't take my animals anywhere else. The staff is great and the environment is clean and welcoming. I switched from Banfield and over all I've ended up saving money with Premier. They treat me, my cats and my dog like family and seem to genuinely care about my pet's health. I highly recommend taking advantage of their Premier Pet Wellness program, it's a great deal for a great price!

Jonah Smith

This place is nothing less than amazing. Never have i seen a practice so genuine inside and out.

Holly Adams

I would like to say, Thank you to Dr. Parks. This past Friday I had to make a hard decision, Tigger out cat was 16 years old, he could no longer walk. (I think he had a stoke because at 6 he was fine and took a turn very quickly). The young lady at the front took us directly to a room. The doctor came in very soon she listen as I explained what was going on. I had made the decision on having him put down because I could not watch him suffer any longer. Dr. Parks explain my options, gave me choices and was very understanding. So, I would like to say Thank You for being understanding and compassionate during this time.

Loree Cannon

I first started coming to Premier because is was so convenient to my house. However, after several years I will not be going back. My visits always seem to take hours, because I get stuck in a examination waiting for a vet who never seems to appear. Almost always get a vet tech who never seems to remember my animal or the problem. The last time I went I was going in for a follow-up for my dog who has chronic ear infections and rarely will let anyone touch his ears, even when there is no infection. So I'll admit it's a tough issue to deal with. Vet tech had no idea what he was treated for the last time he came in. Spent half my time giving my dog history even though you would think that his records would have shown his issues. The tech kept on leaving the examination room to consult with the vet. After an hour and 1/2 I finally left when my dog and myself just could not handle it anymore. I actually scheduled this appointment when I knew the vet who had last treated my dog would be in and still never saw an actual vet. Going somewhere where I don't feel like a stranger every time I go and where I feel my time and dog matter.

Alexandra Duke

Amazing staff, amazing facility, amazing everything! I wouldn't trust my animals to anyone else. ❤❤❤❤

Shawn Cates

We live in Christiana and make the drive everytime to go here. The prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and the vet is honest. I trust this place with all 3 of my animals.

I have family who has been going here for years and they introduced me to premier. I have two put bulls they have taken very well care of... unfortunately my little one has parvo and I had to leave her today which was the Hardest decision I've made.. but I know she will be in good care.. be expecting lots of phone calls and visits! My baby girl needs ro know her mommy and daddy love her so much and we are doing this to help her.. I trust you guys with all my heart... she's a princess and i believe that you will take very good care of her. I have no doubt in my mind. I've recommended you to many friends and i currently have friends who take thier babies there. They love you as much as I do. Greatly appreciate all you do for our babies.

Premier VetCare

We think we are Awesome. Our Staff loves their work and are a dedicated professional staff. Do not take our word for it come give us a try and see if we are a good fit for you and your pet.

Janene Marcus

Very friendly and caring staff! My dog actually loves going here!

Jeannie Coakley

We took our dog several times to get services. Costed us over $1000 . Last time we took him, they gave him a lethal dose of meds he died the next day. This is very heart breaking and traumatic. Not once did they x Ray his head. He was running into everything and pushing his head on ground. He also went blind in a very short time. When husband called them to let them know he passed, they didn't even send card like most vets. They had us believing that he would be fine. Beware of this Vet!

Dragonfly Lilly

I have been taking my dog here for almost a year. They are more interested in how many tests they can do, stains, scraping, recheck, to maximize your bill before you get out of there. 3 weeks ago I went and paid 120$ for the visit, ear stain, yantibiotics, fungal meds, ear wash, ear infection. She told me come back for recheck and I'd get the rx for apoquel. Today was supposed to be a recheck and a perscription of apoquel. Not. They immediately want another ear stain, more medication, then theyll give me the apoquel. I walked out. They are about THE MONEY.

Kassi White

When we lived closer to Smyrna we used this clinic all the time. They are fantastic. We specific saw Dr. Knighton and Dr. Letarte. They are fabulous and made our dogs (and us) feel so welcome. The place is always clean and the staff is always friendly. They neutered our male dog and I couldn't have trusted them more. Huge shout-out the tech Lauren Plunkett who always takes care of them when we have to visit. They give treats to the animals too to help calm them down. They are wonderful with nail trims, also. I HIGHLY recommend using Premier Vet for your needs. We still drive the hour when something is needed that we know only they can do right. They are well trained and educated in their careers. The prices are also very reasonable and fair.

Carol Milner

Very caring and friendly place. The veterinarian was very thorough. She discovered a problem with my dog that required seeing a cardiologist. I'm thankful it was discovered early so we can carefully monitor the condition. I love my furbaby and I want him around as long as possible. I'm grateful for their commitment to provide quality care.

Serge Mirault

Found a stray that was near death a few days ago. Started to feed it hoping to nurse it back to health and over the past few days figured we should do the right thing and get it checked out. Having told the receptionist I had other obligations regarding time, I made an appointment with this place for 11am, but left at 11:35am when no one got us in to see the Dr... Unless I'm mistaken, this is a service we need to PAY for...so if the appointment is at 11, we should be seen at 11 (or within reason, a few minutes of the scheduled time). Again, we are paying for the services, so please don't overbook clients just to make $$$. While I'm trying to do the right thing I can't get back the time off work just to have a stray cat looked it. I am VERY disappointed with their level of service. Because of this experience I will not be bringing our other family Pets to this place...its just not worth it.

Taylor Schiefer

The best! I have a not-so-easy to handle dog, and the staff here does so well with him! I recommend them to everyone in the area!

teresa d

Courtney vincent

Love this place. My dog isn't the easiest to handle and the doctors here take really great care of her. Excellent customer service from everyone working here.

Quetta-Lee Barnes

I just left them an hour ago because my dog was attacked by another dog, and they were very helpful, caring, fast working, understanding, and I would recommend them to anyone!!!

Coty Heaton

Over the past couple of years I have been loyal to Premier Vet Care, but over the past few months they have not been loyal to me. The wait times are very extensive, even with an appointment I've waited 2+ hours. Also they are out for every penny they can get. If you have a budget they just omit necessary tests. But here's the kicker, my cat was diagnosed with diabetes by Dr Knightson. When talking about treatment plans, her first suggestion was to euthanize him. Absolutely zero compassion. Also, another cat of mine has had multiple respiratory infections. When I call to get antibiotics called in, they say I must come in and pay for another office visit and more tests. No exceptions. I used to value and trust this clinic, but because of the lack of compassion for our little family members, they have lost that trust and my business. This is the LAST place I would want to take a pet.

Paige miller

I just wanted to say this place is great! Dr Hatcher went above and beyond and saved us thousands of dollars!! Everyone is nice and the office is spotless! Why go anywhere else?

Allicia Hendrix

Every business has to make money, but that's not what Premier is all about - they CARE about your pet and for your pet. They are thorough with the examinations and let you decide from among preventative care and necessary treatments/exams. I wish I could have taken them with me when we moved out of state!

Naomi Hines

There are many things I like about Premier VetCare. All the vets and technicians I have seen there are very caring - especially Dr. Catron who my cat has been seeing most recently. I really appreciate the quality of care they give, they're the best around.

Robert Cope

I've been bringing my pets to this office for a few years now and have experienced excellent service each and every visit. You'll be greeted by friendly faces and receive careful attention from all of the veterinarians on staff. I would recommend this office to any pet owner.

Logan Stuteville

My husband and I took our 2 dogs to get their shots and back to a healthy state on Wednesday. We had originally went to a vet that was closer to us in Murfreesboro but the prices were just crazy ridiculous. I told my husband that the drive to Smyrna for quality care and a facility that in my opinion is very fair in price is worth it so we left and came to Premier Vet Care. My daughter loved the children's area they have set up which when juggling dogs is such a lifesaver lol. I immediately felt more comfortable and we had made an appointment but was able to be taken back to a room early. The vet assistant I believe named Lou was amazing and treated each dog like her own. She really answered all our questions and was extremely polite. The vet Dr. Morgan Porter was very knowledgeable, polite as can be, professional, etc etc. My husband and I felt like our dogs were in good hands. Both dogs need some work but they are really working with us to get the meds and services they need but inexpensively. I will be bringing all my pets to this vet facility! I highly would recommend this place to all my friends and family.

Nichole B

Amazing service and friendly staff. Recently got my 11yr old cat back (he was taken from me). Unfortunately he had been malnourished and not cared for. His 3rd eye lid ruptured and was now blind in his right eye with a severe infection in the let. The staff immediately saw him (no appointment) and recommended surgery. Surgery was completed that same day. All checkups and post care were included in the surgery cost. It's been about 4wks since surgery and everything has gone splendid. This senior cat is now behaving like a kitten again.

Jamie Spence

These people are the most amazingly patient people ever. I am a very over protective paranoid cat mommy and they have been nothing but understanding! They have taken great care of my baby and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else!

ken miller

We had our first visit today and all I can say is this place Rocks. The Staff was awesome and the whole experience was fantastic. Coco really enjoyed her self.

Megan McMurtry

They're super friendly and very helpful. The longer hours are great for those of us who have to work and have limited time off.

Justin Mitchell

They do great work

Danielle Hagewood

Best vet care in town

april rockwood

Great care for both pets and their people.

Brittany Baker

Love this place will not take my dogs any where else, love the staff and the doctors. Recommend to everyone.

Kaleigh Cope

I love Premier Vetcare! They are the absolute best vet in Middle Tennessee, hands down. My dog was diagnosed with epilepsy a few years ago and ever since then every single vet has been there to answer all my crazy dog mom questions! You can just tell that every single person there cares about you and your pet! I will never use another vet clinic!

S. Campbell

I have nothing good to say about this place!! Took our two cats there, had an appointment but waited over an hour in waiting room then was in a room for two hours with a vet tech trying to sell me procedures and expensive packages saying that's what Dr.Knightson recommended which didn't make sense since she hadn't seen my cats and when she finally did it was a total of 15 minutes for both. She wasn't thorough or compassionate. Not to mention the bill was over $200. Yes they did blood work in that price ($55) but she never gave me a copy of the results and I had to ask if they were normal and she didn't even explain all the results. Makes me wonder if they did what they said, especially since I had already caught her lying to me. Tried to talk to the office manager Dana about it, she told me one thing but when I called back to do what she said they would do she had someone else tell me something different, so she lied as well..if you want a vet that's reasonably priced,that cares about your fur babies, is knowledgeable and won't lie to you then this is not the place for you

Allen Phelan

From the moment we walked in the door until we left, the staff was so sweet to me and my 3 month old puppy. The doctor was thorough in her exam and made sure all of my questions were answered before i left. I’m so thankful for Premier VetCare. I was on a strict budget and they didnt push me to purchase anything my puppy didnt need. They were very friendly as well. Will be my vet choice for ever.

Karen Soky

Ashley Robinson

This place is super clean and The staff is soooooooooooooooo helpful! I may have had to wait a little longer than i wanted but in the end it was worth it. Not Only did they listen to every concern I had but they also approached my concerns with my interest and wallet in mind.

Caitie Wester

They've been great with my cat, and my puppy just had his first visit. No complaints about our visits. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is that it can sometimes be quite difficult to get someone to answer the phone.

David Carulla

Premier VetCare is the best veterinarian service in Middle Tennessee. The doctors are great, but the front of the house staff is the real gem. Cailey is awesome! So much better than Karen at the other Vet place in town. Karen sucks.

John Nichols

Our family owns two very healthy cats. They are only a few years old. We took them there for a simple check up and Leukemia shots. The next thing we realized was how sick both of them got after a week since they where there. Both of them where vomiting, not eating, mooning in pain, and seemed like the couldn't walk so well two weeks after the shots where given to there back hind legs. After the Memorial Day holiday had passed, frustrated now, we took them back and asked what is wrong? After blood work and a exam was done, they said nothing was wrong. Now a day later, and I believe both will die soon. So thanks a lot Premier. $400 later and two almost dead cats. No, concern from them, they keep saying to bring them back, $$$! Im not falling for this old trick again. The cats would have been better off left alone and still healthy as they where. Now my 7 year old son has to learn how to loss his best friends, because his parents made a wrong decision to trust these people. I wish these feelings of lost will not fall upon any more of your clients! Your job is to save there lives not kill them! In Response of what you said: My Name is John Nichols! Yes, Vaccinations can be deadly. Even a week is considered enough time to see a reaction. All I can say is the proof lies before us. So don't say I'm wrong! Don't slander me for telling the truth!! This shows your true colors, doesn't it? We are done here. Now every one knows the truth to make a decision about what they should do!!! Thanks for making this right.

Kyle Clark

From the moment we walked in the door until we left, the staff was so sweet to us and our 1 year old puppy. The doctor was thorough in her exam and made sure we had all of our questions answered before we left. I’m so thankful for Premier VetCare.

Cailey Sloan

Premier VetCare has some of the most caring and compassionate doctors. Dr. Jones is always there to give great care to my cats, I think they love her as much as I love the care she gives them! The doctors and staff do all they can to make all my pets comfortable and happy at every visit. I would recommend Premier to everyone who wants quality affordable vet care with a great environment.

Audrey Guchi

I have worked with great doctors at Premier VetCare. They work very well at keeping you informed of everything going on with your animal and walk you through any procedures or treatments. I feel like they really care about my animal. We have been customers of them for a long time and are very happy with their services.

Annie Dee

Couldn't be happier. The staff and doctors are all knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. I took my cat there for 5 years or more before he passed after having two surgeries a couple years apart as well as my new puppy (almost 2 years now) who was spayed with hernia surgery in their office. They were great through all treatments and the passing of our beloved pet.

EK Phillips

Absolutely horrible experience here that has left me shocked and upset. I won't go into detail, but I will say it has upset me to my core and made the pain of watching my animal become sick with an illness much worse. Never mind the bait and switch tactics or the belittling tone of the owner. I wish I had never stepped foot in this place and feel that I let my animal down by doing so.

Claudia Bates

I'm so pleased with the care that you gave my dog Marie. It was hard letting her go but I know it was time and I didn't want her to suffer. I was so pleasantly surprised to get a sympathy card from you this week. I was really blown away by how much it was personalized and the kind words that everyone said about Marie. Thank you and I will definitely be back if I have need of your services again.
