Everyone here will love and care for your pet as if it is their own. I cannot express, time and again, what phenomenal experiences my dog and I have had. The price is reasonable, the doctors and staff are knowledgeable and kind, and I have never once felt hurried or rushed. I am so unbelievably thankful and grateful to have found this practice!

I love this place. Dr Sewell is amazing. He has a great and comforting personality, and he's very knowledgeable.

I moved to Nashville this past year and needed quick and confident service within a month for my 5 year old French Bulldog, Walter. Walter is a particularly special case as he has hemophilia and can be aggressive in his attempts to 'protect' me. The staff at Belmont Animal Hospital went above and beyond to care for, comfort and respect Walter and myself. I am truly thankful for their expertise, understanding and respect of my dog and I. I am confident they are always looking out for the animal's best interest and would recommend them to anyone looking for a vet.

Best animal hospital in Nashville. I have been taking both my dogs here for 7 years and have appreciated every moment of it. Dr. Eadie and Dr. Sewell are such fantastic veterinarians.

I brought my cat in to be treated for constipation. Two days later I had to put him to sleep. Something went horribly wrong with the procedure to cause my cat to suffer in pain for two days. This included my cat mysteriously obtaining what appeared to be a completely useless paralyzed front right leg from the carpals downward. A lesson for all: Never let a rookie vet perform even the most basic procedure on your pet. Plus, you are paying full price for a rookie vs paying full price for an experienced vet. The rookie vet is not worth a fraction of full price.

Two procedures were done: an enema and subcutaneous fluids inserted at the shoulders. I have to think the enema was done somewhat incorrectly. When I picked up my cat ~4 hours after the procedure, the staff expressed surprise that my cat was still oozing fluid out of his anus. Such a surprise implies something was done wrong with the enema. Too much fluid? Did the rookie vet puncture his intestinal lining? Does the rookie vet not know an older animal will have a less pliable colon wall? Did something go wrong with the sub-Q fluids?

Perhaps after an undetermined number of additional botched procedures the rookie vet will advance to being a very good vet by the time he reaches the age of the other vets at Belmont animal hospital. Maybe not. Medical procedures require art & science. The rookie vet may have the training to grasp the clunky science of veterinary procedures, but I doubt he has approached the basic skills needed for the art of these procedures.

I would not hesitate to schedule an appointment with the older vets, but I would never let their rookie vets (I define that as those with less than 10 years of experience) ever give any care to your pet. The older vets appear to be highly skilled and compassionate.

Belmont Animal Hospital is not the only clinic that has hired a rookie vet. This can happen at any vet clinic. My review could be used as a guideline for any vet clinic you choose. Rookie vets are horrible. They lack the experience necessary to be considered a good vet. They need experience, but let them get that experience on someone else’s pet, who is not aware of the downsides of a rookie.
