Surgery & internal medicine
Founder & Medical Director
DVM, University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine
Saoirse opened Sweetgum in 2011 after nine years at a busy emergency hospital, where she saw too many problems a routine visit would have caught. She does most of our soft-tissue surgery and is the reason every treatment here gets a written estimate first.

Dentistry & urgent care
Associate Veterinarian
DVM, Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine
Tobin runs our dental days and sees most of the urgent cases that walk in before noon. He has removed more socks from more dogs than he would like, and he always shows you the X-ray first.

Cats & senior pets
Associate Veterinarian
DVM, The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine
Kiyomi sees most of our cats and older dogs. She is Fear Free certified, books cats in the quiet hours and will happily examine your cat on the floor if that is where your cat wants to be.

Scheduling & pet insurance
Client Care Lead
Fear Free certified client care
Wynona answers the phone, checks what your pet insurance actually covers before you come in and remembers every dog’s name, which is more than she manages for their owners.

One chart. One team.
We show you before we treat
You see the X-ray or the lab result, hear what it would cost and decide, before any treatment starts.
We refer when it is not for us
If your pet needs a cardiologist, an orthopedic surgeon or an oncologist, we say so and send the records the same day.
We watch and wait when we can
Small lumps get measured, photographed and rechecked in a month instead of removed today.
Meet them at
your first visit.
Book a $72 new patient visit with any of our vets. Same-week appointments, pet insurance paperwork handled.
