Why Choose Us?
We treat your pets like family
At Suburban Veterinary Clinic, your pet isn’t just another appointment — they’re part of the family. We take the time to get to know your furry companion, offering compassionate care tailored to their individual needs and personality. Whether it's a routine checkup or something more urgent, you can trust us to provide the same attention and tenderness we’d want for our own pets.
Praised for Kindness, Patience, and Clear Communication
Our clients consistently highlight the welcoming atmosphere and the way we take time to listen. We know vet visits can be stressful for pets and their people — that’s why we explain every step, answer your questions thoroughly, and move at a pace that keeps everyone calm and comfortable. We believe clear, compassionate communication is just as important as excellent clinical care.
Affordable, Transparent Pricing
We believe top-tier veterinary care should never be out of reach. Our pricing is fair, upfront, and designed to help you make the best decisions for your pet’s health without surprises. We’ll always walk you through your options and help you find a plan that fits your needs and budget — no pressure, no upselling.
Pets Love Visiting Us — and Their Humans Do Too!
It's not unusual to see tails wagging (and even a few happy zoomies!) when pets walk through our doors. Why? Because they remember the love. Many of our furry patients are excited to visit — and their owners tell us that makes all the difference. We work hard to create a low-stress, positive experience that makes everyone feel at ease.
Meet Dr. Phyllis Richardson, DVM
With a heart for animals and a calming presence for their humans, Dr. Phyliss Richardson has earned a reputation as one of Kennesaw's most trusted veterinarians. Whether she’s treating a playful puppy, a shy senior cat, or a newly adopted rescue, Dr. Richardson brings a rare blend of compassion, patience, and clinical expertise to every exam room.
Her clients often describe her as kind, affordable, and incredibly knowledgeable — the kind of vet who remembers your pet’s quirks and makes time to answer all your questions. She believes veterinary care should be as stress-free and transparent as possible, for pets and people alike.
Dr. Richardson is a proud graduate of Tuskegee University, where she earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. She currently serves as lead veterinarian at Suburban Veterinary Clinic in Kennesaw, GA, where she’s been caring for local pets for over a decade.
When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find her enjoying the outdoors or spending time with animals of her own — because caring for them isn’t just her profession, it’s her passion.
