The staff that I interacted with were so welcoming, kind, and helpful! I'm so thankful for Alex and Dr. Hurst for being so wonderful with our newest fur baby.

Everything and everyone was great. This was the first time I've taken my dogs to the vet and all of the staff were very patient, helpful, and they fully explained everything. I will continue to take my pets here.

I will likely never go to another vet again. The staff from the receptionists, the techs, and the vets, took such good care of my dog when she was with them. Even when she passed, they were all there with us and even sent us a card with everyone's signatures in it. You can really tell they love their clients, I cannot recommend them more

Dr McColgan and her staff are absolutely amazing! My husband and I brought our Sadie in to the office for an emergency (we thought Sadie broke her leg), and we were met with such kindness and compassion that we were immediately calmed. Dr McColgan examined our fur baby thoroughly and explained to us that she tore a ligament in her knee. She also explained all treatment options, and made sure that we went home with medications for our Sadie. Dr McColgan is also the only veterinarian that I know who called the next day to check on Sadie (Mom and Dad too)! My husband and I can't thank The Village Vets enough for everything that they did for us!

Dr. Irish was fantastic along with the vet tech (I'm so sorry I don't remember your name) Ian was treated amazingly well for our first visit! I will definitely be using the village vets for all of Ian's needs! Wonderful people! I can't thank you enough!

After our vet, Dr. George Gibson passed away we tried some vets that were horrible. One 24 hour emergency vet in particular was a traumatic experience and when our little guy Rudy got sick we were frantic after two other vets took our money and pretty much ignored us. Even though he had cancer and they couldn't save him, The Village Vets of Decatur restored our faith in vets. I will forever be grateful for each and every person there who work so hard and care so much. We will never use another vet. God bless Dr Cotton and all those who work there.

All went above and beyond. Missy understood my need to be with Lil Bits and managed to get us in with Dr. McColgan the same day. I felt comfortable, everything was explained, the compassion was apparent, and I've already recommended VV & Dr McColgan. Guess the only thing better would be a new kidney for my (almost) 22 year old guy.
