He makes a mean cheesecake, but don’t tell his doctor that he eats cheesecake. Tell him that he eats Crestor . . .
After high school, he graduated from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and attended the University of Georgia, both as an undergrad and Veterinary School. Granite Hills Animal Care opened in the summer of 1994. (He jokes that he was only 12 at the time . . . )

Do we set up payment plans?
We try to help clients and patients when possible, but in order to keep our costs as low and fair as possible, we don’t set up payment plans.
Do you take walk-ins?
Since there is only one of me, I prefer that clients make an appointment for non-emergencies. This minimizes wait times as we don’t have patients stacked on top of each other.
Are you local to Elberton? and privately owned?
We are also privately owned, and not owned by a corporation. This means your pet’s care s based on what they need, , or what you prefer. It isn’t dictated by what is most profitable to shareholders 8 states away.
