Forsyth Road Animal Clinic - Macon, Georgia

Ive been coming here for a while and its almost always a good experience. Taking your pet to the vet may not always be a great time, but they are always nice and caring and it makes the experience better. They care for the animals like they are their own and i will not be going to another vet anytime soon. They did all they could for my sweet kitty and i couldnt be any more appreciative and thankful.

Dr. Bettis did a wonderful job on my dog Sunny’s dental. I opted in for the all the extra things to make sure shes healthy, & they found she had hook worms & sent me home with meds for that, & antibiotics for the teeth extractions she needed. My sweet dogs breath doesnt smell like a carcass anymore & i couldnt be more thankful. AND they sent home a cute progress report to let me know that sunny did well and was a good girl. So cute. Cant recommend them enough.

I am extremely impressed with Doctor Decker and the team at Forsyth Road Animal Clinic. My first time there has me swapping to them for all of my fur babies, and I don't live close. Our cat Kit, became Lethargic to the point we knew we needed to do something fast, I called the vet we normally go to, they could not see him because he was a first time for them but not our other animals....and said they had a half day today. Next place I called, also said they had a half day...what is it with having a half day on Wednesday? 3rd place was booked out for two more days, and 4th place could see him tomorrow at 9. Then we called this place, they were able to squeeze us in for a late appointment.
Right away I could feel the presence of good energy coming from the team. You can tell everyone there absolutely loves animals and it made me feel good they were showing off our cutie pie to each other.
This is the first place I have been too that was upfront about the pricing, honest that it appeared that we caught what our cat has so early, that it is hard for them to tell what is going on, and were giving great details on what they could do to figure out what is going on and how much everything would cost, allowing us to pick and choose what we would like to help them get a better idea what Kit might have. Doctor Decker is absolutely amazing with how he runs you through everything and breaks down what everything means. His attention to detail, personal care for not only you but your pet too, and knowledge blew me away. His memory is super sharp too.
Normally I can do the vet care at my own home for my animals(Dogs, horse, goats, chickens), but when it comes to cats, they are harder for me to tend to, and diagnose. I leave it to professionals for animals like cats.
Doctor Decker reminded me of my Dad Richard Dowdell, who used to be an Eye Doctor until he retired and died soon after....my Dad always warned me of how the machines can be faulty and that he takes more time on Patience knowing that, that way he can make sure to be more accurate for what they need. That got my Dad in trouble with the boss man, and upset my Dad very much that he was not allowed to give Patience more time, knowing he can do a better job for them. I see that very samething with Doctor Decker, with Doctor Decker being like that, I can only imagine how the main Vet is, I am excited to meet her someday soon. I read medical books for fun, and one thing I am very familiar with is ranges of what our system should be in. Doctor Decker, impressed me with showing he is familiar with the very samething, not agreeing with what the machine tells him but going with what he knows is right. For example Vitamin B12 levels for normal range in America is actually very inaccurate, Japan hits the range level on the nail fairly close on how the ranges should be.
Now for the pricing, I would say it is very comparable with most Veterinarians, but you have to keep in mind, that line of work cost a lot. For example, someone who chops wood for a living, they might have a fancy log splitter and nice equipment to get the wood and such. But the upkeep cost, labor cost, travel to get the wood, cut it up, chop it up....that takes a lot of time, when all is said and done, your time put into getting that firewood is just barely minimum wage if you are lucky. It takes commercial grade equipment that can handle at least a 30"diameter log and up to be benefitting from cutting, and chopping the wood, and often times, you have to pay for the tree too.

Now everything can't be 100% good. Now can it? On the paper I signed when becoming a new Patient, I checked that I wanted a chip for my cat Kit. To be fair, the price I already had to put down was enough for a very long time, so I am glad that not only did I forget, but they either didn't see that on the forum, knew I would be hurting for money and wanted to be nice, or they forgot too. I will be back to get a chip for our cat, he already has a GPS tracker so it is not a big stresser. Get ready for my other fur babies!

My name is Nicholas and I moved to Macon about a year ago and have had the fantastic pleasure of working with the great people of Forsyth Rd Animal Clinic. We had an older dog named Clyde who was struggling and has sadly passed away recently. If you have had an older animal you know the amount of work they need, and how fragile they can be. This may be one of the most amazing Vet Clinics I have ever been to. They are kind, compassionate, patient, gentle, and understanding. They treat all their animals with kindness and the utmost of respect. There is not a single negative thing I can say about this animal clinic. They took care of Clyde in every sense of the word. We had him groomed there, checkups, emergency visits, all the way into his end of life care and they were always so sweet and so gentle with him. Even into the euthanasia they were patient and compassionate with us, and their attention entirely on the comfort of the patient, and our comfort with the process. I have been to several vets offices around while shopping for the right one and I dont think any other vets office in Macon that I have been to holds a candle to this place. They are amazing, and should you choose to use them, I am confident that they will meet and exceed any expectation you might have. 10/10. 5 stars. Absolutely amazing place.

The staff at FRAC is absolutely amazing. Dr Bettis and her team are not only personable and friendly, but extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I drive over an hour each way just to make sure my animals can be seen by their team.
