What Our Pet Parents Are Saying

Drs. Sigmund and Keenan are my go-tos for my dog’s ophthalmology needs! My dog, Josie, had a grooming incident that required surgery and treating a corneal ulcer. Not only are they experts in their field but they are also extremely compassionate and understand the nerves involved when your pet is hurt. They treated Josie quickly and effectively. They are truly the best in Atlanta! 10/10 recommend.

Can’t recommend Dr Keenan enough. She has been a breath of fresh air when it comes the care of my pets. Very informative when explaining whats going on and what I’m to expect moving forward. You are not going to regret seeing Dr Keenan and Dr Sigmund for help with your fur baby
David Gomez
Pet Owner
Dr. Sigmund removed an eyelid growth from my soul cat a few years ago. I was not concerned at the time, but he suggested that we send the growth for testing to see if it was cancerous. It did comeback as cancer, but was very low grade and there has been NO regrowth! So thankful for his quick intervention and expertise!
