We followed Dr. Church to Knightdale when he initially opened Smithfield Road Vet (SRV). Please know this review is not about Dr. Church as we LOVE and respect him. He has always been wonderful and caring to our many fur babies over the years AND we felt he always went the extra mile. In fact if he ever leaves SRV we will follow him again.
Regrettably, I don't believe this practice is now owned by Dr. Church. This NEGATIVE review is about the about the change in the practice's philosophy as apparently the Mission Statement of the 'new corporation' is related more to money than compassionate care

My dog was abused by his previous owners. He is skittish when out of the house. I told them this when I made his appointment. I take Paxon in for a nail trim and the girl comes out to get him and attempts to drag him to the back. I have to stop her and explain. Then 5 minutes later I hear the guy cutting his nails getting angry and raising his voice at paxton because he wont sit still and keeps trying to pull away. I will never step foot in this place again.

On Wednesday my dachshund, Chloe, who is 16 years old couldn’t walk on her back legs, which she has had problems for awhile. Then she begin having a seizure snd when she was able to get up she was staggering and was so disoriented. I immediately called my veterinarian office, SMITHFIELD ROAD ANIMAL HOSPITAL. I was told no one could see her at… all today. I have been seeing Dr. Church since he was affiliated with North Wake Animal Hospital in Wake Forest. When he opened his practice in Knightdale, I began taking Chloe there. She received good care, but when they were bought out last
