Been bringing my shih Tzu there for years I love them
Once I got there, he never even looked at my dog. The vet assistants did, and tried to describe what it was. I had papers on the lump from a lab test, and explained I came in hoping to have it removed with local anesthesia. He wouldn't let me speak without interrupting me, and seemed irritated with the fact that I was taking up his time. He didn't want to hear my concerns and acted as though I was stupid for wanting to take the most cautionary option available. Then he tells me I can schedule the appointment to have it taken care of...what?? That's WHY I came all that way in the first place! That's what the appointment was FOR.
He's a pushy, mean, cranky old man with no patience and no respect for his clients. I will never waste my time again and highly recommend you find a vet who takes 4 minutes to act like they give a damn.
Awesome place, Awesome people for you animals care, these people are expert's in their field...
On top of that, he mocked me for giving my dog a type of non-allergy food that another vet had recommended (and worked, btw), and wouldn't let me explain anything. It was maddening. He even had a drawer full of little papers explaining how dumb he believes non-allergy food is that he apparently doles out to "brainwashed" (HIS WORDS) customers who try to choose that option for their pet, based on advice from other doctors. I've never felt so rushed, belittled, and talked down to by a vet, not to mention he didn't seem to give a damn about looking at my dog or listening to my concerns. Even the vet assistants seemed embarrassed by his behavior. I'm glad he didn't do the procedure that morning...if he's half as rushed with that as he is talking to you, I can't imagine how that would've turned out.
Dr. Gradous is the best and most dedicated vet in the state of Georgia. I have been going to him for HELP since 1980. When you have to have the BEST for your Family, you will go to see him at Springwood Veterinary Clinic.His love for animals makes him a hero in my eyes.
I can't begin to say how utterly disappointed I am with Dr. Gradous. If "0" was a rating, he'd have it.
Dr. Gradous is old school. Used to love that. His "bedside manner" never bothered me. I trusted his judgement impeccably. Then it got to a point where it was a 5 second diagnosis and he hadn't even really looked at the animal. But that isn't really deserving of the one star. Its the culmination of shoddy diagnosing and the 50/50 chance a rude technician is working earn the 1 star. I have never as a grown man been more upset than after having to deal with a couple ( not all, just two I believe "testaments to veterinary medicine" ) of the staff he has working for him ( but never him ). Thankfully I found a wonderful vet, who takes his time and his support staff is exceptional. Just wish it didn't take 5 years to finally go enough is enough. The new vet also gives hope. There is a way to tell you the possible prognosis without you feeling demoralized in the process. My dogs are mi familia, not just pets.
I set up an appointment with him for a small procedure involving a lump on my dogs leg. I drove hours to the appointment, because I was disappointed with my local vet and heard this guy was good from a friend.
