About Us

       


Our Name is different: Our Mission Remains the Same.

Clairmont Animal Hospital opened its doors to the community in August of 1990.

The hospital’s present location has a very interesting past. It was the home of a locally famous Indian Medicine man, a Civil war encampment site, a 1929 private residence, an antique shop and a backpacking outfitter.

Clairmont Animal Hospital was founded on the belief that if an environment were created that provided excellent veterinary care with personalized client service, it would flourish.

Initially, Dr. Smith was the sole veterinarian on staff and had a support staff of only two. The rapid growth to our present size is due to many factors, including years of dedication, hard work and sacrifice, an excellent and committed staff, and referrals from our clients.

Effective January 1, 2009, Clairmont Animal Hospital changed its name from Emory Animal Hospital. Despite proper licensing, Emory University has encouraged several businesses with the “Emory” name to change their business identity. Nothing else will change.

We want to assure you that though our name is changing, our mission, management, ownership, location, services and total commitment to our community will remain the same. We will continue to provide the high quality of service care you have come to expect over the last 18 years .
