    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Surdyk and the entire team at North Georgia Veterinary Specialists Buford. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with kindness, compassion, and genuine care. Dr. Surdyk took the time to explain everything clearly, answer our questions, and make sure we felt comfortable with the treatment plan. What impressed me most was the level of expertise combined with such a gentle, caring approach toward my pet. It’s obvious that Dr. Surdyk truly loves what she does and goes above and beyond to provide the best possible care. The staff was equally amazing—professional, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Dr. Surdyk’s technician, Brittany K., is the best!!! She treated us as if she was one of our family members. She follows up, she makes sure we understood and were good with the medication plan, Brittney is second to none. Thanks to Dr. Surdyk and NGVS, Nelli received top-notch care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinary specialist who treats both pets and their owners with respect, compassion, and excellence." Nelli has IMHA but is on her way to recovery, and we are so pleased with the results.

    My boy was very sick when I took him there. They took very good care of him, but even with all the treatments available, he was not going to get better. We had to make the hardest decision to let him go peacefully. RIP Gambit my love.

    Had to take my 14 year old cat in for respiratory distress. After calling around to several places who didnt have any availability, NGVS was open and encouraged us to bring him in. We arrived and they brought him back right away. Unfortunately there was nothing anyone could do as it appeared to be heart failure. We made the tough decision to let him go. The staff were incredibly kind and the veterinarian was compassionate and informative. She gave us all the time we needed with him and helped us each step of the way.

    We were referred by our vet to Dr. Curcio for a mysterious injury our dog’s leg. He gave us a range of possibilities and solutions and never once pushed expensive imaging or procedures. He was very transparent about pricing and made us feel confident in the plan we chose. He and all the staff members were very kind and answered all of our questions.
