We were traveling from Gulf Shores, AL back home to Louisville, KY when we stopped overnight in Nashville on Friday, August 8th. Saturday morning, I noticed that my 3-month-old special needs kitten Forrest wasn't able to urinate and I wasn't able to express his bladder. I feared he was blocked with stones, so we called the clinic and they scheduled us an appointment within an hour and we headed to the clinic. We were greeted by a very nice receptionist and we filled out new client paperwork. Then, Stephan, the absolute best vet tech I have ever seen (I'm a pre-vet student who has shadowed at eight different clinics) took us into an exam room and began to look over Forrest. He was so intelligent and caring that my parents thought he was the vet! Dr. Waldrop came in next and tried to catheterize Forrest several times in the room before deciding to anesthetize him and catheterize him in the back. He allowed me to observe the entire procedure, which I really appreciated. Dr. Waldrop got Forrest unblocked and gave us a different antibiotic, as well as a sample of Royal Canin SO food to help dissolve the remaining stones. Stephan also sent Forrest home with a handmade toy, which was a really sweet gesture. If we had waited any longer to get Forrest treated, he easily could have died of kidney failure, as urethral blockages in male cats can be deadly. I cannot say enough nice things about Nashville Cat Clinic! They go out of their way to make your cat comfortable, including taking the temperature in the ear (instead of in the rectum) and performing all procedures in the room if possible. Everything they do is aimed at making your cat as relaxed as possible, since cats tend to be notoriously anxious at vets' offices. I would give them way more than 5 stars if I could! I tell everyone about this practice, and we will definitely consider bringing our other cats back since Nashville is less than three hours from Louisville! An excellent, excellent practice with one of the best sets of staff I have ever met.

There are vet clinics in my neighborhood but I drive across town to the Nashville Cat Clinic for my Oscar's care. They are tuned in to cats and their specific needs. The staff is always friendly, and Dr. Waldrop has quickly cured one nasty problem after another. I am totally pleased!

Love Dr. Waldrop and his staff. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Very courteous and helpful as well as thorough. Glad to have found them when we moved to the area last year.

Years ago, the Nashville Cat Clinic was literally a lifesaver when other vets gave up up and told us to say goodbye to a feline family member. Dr Waldrop is the gentlest and most caring veterinarian we could ever hope for, as well as an excellent diagnostician and surgeon. Over the years, we have learned to trust that he will figure out what's wrong, come up with the best treatment plan and do everything humanly possible to help our cats. We also know that when the time really does come to say goodbye to a very ill/elderly kitty, he will assist us with that in a most compassionate and respectful manner. He's knowledgeable. He's thorough. He loves his patients. In short, Dr Waldrop is a healer in the truest sense of the word.

Dr. Waldrop clearly loves cats, and gives good care. He always seems up to date on the newest research regarding cat health and medicine. I've never had a cat problem he couldn't diagnose, and I've given up going to other vets who are geographically closer to me but who are not as equipped to deal with cats and have gotten the diagnosis wrong once too often. It is important to me that I can take my cats to a veterinarian who is not in a practice where my cats are going to be exposed to barking dogs and other frightening sounds ("other" meaning, besides Stefan!). I think I get better veterinary care with Dr. Waldrop than with any other veterinarian to whom I've ever taken a pet.
