Dr. Hurst and the HVAH staff are the best! Ive taken my goldendoodle here for years and when I got a golden retriever puppy recently we took him here right off the bat. Unfortunately he had a few health hiccups but Dr. Hurst was there for us the whole time/answering all of my questions and always following up. Its difficult in Nashville finding a vet that you love, can work with your schedule & always takes the time to follow up so if youve been looking then I cant recommend Harpeth Valley enough!

Love this place. Dr. Hurst and staff are all caring people and love animals. They saved my cat from the brink of death. They work very hard to keep furry friends happy and healthy. I highly recommend them.

I had to visit HVAH to purchase something that was not in stock at my normal vet. The staff were helpful, kind and easy to work with. If I didn't have an almost 30 year excellent relationship with my existing vet, I would strongly consider moving to this practice.
