Premier VetCare originally opened it's doors for business in a 2400 sq ft lease space on Cedar Grove Road, in Smyrna TN. As our veterinary hospital quickly grew, it was apparent the space was not going to be large enough for long. In 2010, we started the process of relocating to a larger facility. Construction began in the Spring of 2011, and we opened the doors to our new 6000+ sq ft veterinary hospital in the Fall of 2011.

Each exam room is decorated with a unique, custom piece of art work created by Stacey, Dr Hatcher's wife. As a paperless practice, all of your pets medical history is recorded in our practice management system. From here, we can go over testing results, radiography, client education pictures, videos, and much more. If it is more convenient for you our staff can even check you out from within the exam room
Consultation Room
Our consultation room is designed to be a little more comfortable. Here you can visit with your hospitalized pet, wait for test results, or discuss your pets health care needs. This room is also in a quieter area of the facility, making it an ideal place to say our last goodbyes to our beloved pets when that time comes.

Test like heartworm, fecal examinations, urinalysis, cytology, routine blood work and blood counts all can be performed while you wait.

Treatment Area

4 Treatment Tables from front to back we have a Treatments Table, then 3 wet tables. The first two wet tables are used for our dental cases, and the third is our surgical prep table. The windows in treatment area look into the Surgery Room and Doctor's Office.
Radiology
Our radiology suite is equipped with a High Definition DR radiography table. Digital radiographs offer us more detail, and we can manipulate the image to allow us to find changes once missed by traditional radiograph film.
Our digital radiographs are imported into your pets record, where they are stored. Once in the system, we can review them with you in any of our examination or consultation rooms. The images can also be e-mailed, or even texted to you for your review with family members, or if needed, with a specialist. In addition, we are also able to submit radiographs to board certified radiologists to help in the diagnosis of your pets health concerns.
Recovery & Kennels
We have 5 elevated runs. These are used for pets that may have diarrhea and vomiting. The elevated floors help to keep the pet cleaner and dry.
We also installed 5 state of the art glass kennel systems. The glass helps with noise, and makes it easier to clean and disinfect.
