My husband and I have appreciated Dr. Head and Madison Vet Clinic for years. I interviewed three vets when I moved to middle TN in 1994 and it was an easy choice to select Dr. Head. His staff is loyal and they are good at their jobs. The current two receptionists have been there for years. That is true of two of the vet techs as well. Over the years he has cared for all of our dogs and cats. We currently have two dogs, a 9 yr old Beagle and a 14 yr old Lab mix that are under his care. The Lab mix has had two significant surgeries on her back 'knees' - both rebuilt. The surgeries were necessary and the work Dr. Head performed was excellent. She enjoys a very active life because of his surgical skill. We rescued a kitten that was hit by a car and left in the street to die. The poor kitten suffered extreme head trauma in addition to its other injuries. Dr. Head cared for the kitten for over a week, bringing it back from critical to being able to life a long life. That kitten is now our full grown cat, Miracle. In addition to her, we have two other cats, one 18 yrs old that Dr. Head had cared for six she was six months old. We'd had some tough decisions to make over the years regarding animal care and Dr. Head always made time to discuss things with us and offer his recommendations after explaining options to us. His tremendous heart for animals and their owners is 2nd only to his tremendous heart for his family. \r
Over the years we have been present in the office when people have come in with seriously ailing animals. The staff, at Dr. Head's direction, has always treated those animals and their owners with high priority and concern. Just like an emergency room or a human doctor's office, sometimes an emergency has to be dealt with pushing the regular schedule behind some. I never begrudge those who need the special treatment, goodness knows that might be my need someday. As I write this it is March 2014 and we still regularly see Dr. Head and his staff. We refer our friends to him and many of our friends use him as their regular vet. I've read the negative comments and found myself surprised. For 20 years we have been regulars at Madison Vet Clinic and have never witnessed anything but quality care. That includes the times when people came in and were rude or uncivil. And it includes dealing with those, including ourselves at times, dealing with the heartbreak of a sick animal or death of a beloved pet. If you have furry children you will be putting them in great hands with Dr. Head.
