The Gentle Doctor of East Tennessee

Our mission is to provide excellent veterinary care to those that may not otherwise have access to care.

We focus on wellness care (vaccinations, preventative care), dentistry, heartworm treatment, and soft tissue surgery (including spay/neuter).

🐾 Snoop has an important announcement! 🐾

There will be NO DOCTOR TOMORROW, Saturday, October 17th. But don’t worry, Snoop says we’ll still be here for tech appointments and services! 😸

🩺 TECH SERVICES ONLY | 9 AM–1 PM

✅ Vaccines and boosters
✅ Nail trims
✅ A**l gland expressions
✅ Cytopoint/Befrenna (must have an up-to-date wellness exam)
✅ Prescription and preventative medication pickup

🚫 No doctor will be available, so we cannot provide wellness exams or other doctor services.

Thanks for understanding while our doctor takes a much needed mini-vacay. Snoop and the tech team look forward to seeing you! 🐱💚

🖤🐈‍⬛ Who says a black cat crossing your path is bad luck?

We’d say it’s pretty great luck! 🍀 It was our absolute pleasure to meet this adorable little guy today and get him started on his kitten vaccine packs! 💉🐾

Here’s to a lifetime of good health, happy adventures, and all the good luck a little black cat can bring! 🖤

🌧️🐾 A little rain didn’t keep you away! 🐾🌧️

We were so happy to see so many of you and your fur babies today! Seeing your familiar faces (and all those adorable pets!) truly made our Saturday. Thank you for spending part of your day with us! ❤️

📣 A quick reminder for Saturday, October 17th!

Our doctor will be out of town, but we’ll still be open for Saturday walk-ins from 9 AM–1 PM!

Our available services will be a little different that day since no doctor will be on-site. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you and your furry family members! 🐶🐱

Thank you for being part of The Gentle Doctor family! ❤️🐾

🐾📋 Meet Snoop — our front desk supervisor for the day!

Our girl Snoop is available TODAY and ready to put in a hard day’s work…

😼 Answering all your questions
📋 Getting appointments checked in
🐾 Making sure everyone knows where they’re supposed to be
👀 Supervising the humans
💅 Looking adorable while doing absolutely none of the above

If you’re coming in today, be sure to say hi to Snoop! She’ll be at the front desk accepting compliments and judging your appointment time. 😂

The Gentle Doctor 🐾
Affordable care. Happy pets. Occasionally judgmental cats.

🐾 It was so great seeing everyone yesterday!

Just a friendly reminder that Saturday, October 17th, our doctor will be out of town. We’ll still be open for Saturday walk-ins from 9 AM–1 PM, but the services we’re able to provide will be a little different that day.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you! 🐾

Heads up post—We may not be able to have walk ins for pets needing to see a doctor on October 17th, although we could still see tech visits (cytopoint, puppy boosters that have had recent exams, etc.).
We are actively looking for a vet to cover -email us if you are an interested veterinarian licensed in TN- but Dr. D made a promise to her mother and will need to be away that day. Our devotion to the clinic is strong, but breaking a promise to your mother is a whole other thing!

So please plan ahead in case we can’t see walk ins for wellness visits on October 17th.

Much love from Dr. D’s Wrenley enjoying Inskip pool!

Come visit us this Saturday at Petpalooza! Spin the wheel and win prizes for your pet or yourself!! Can’t wait to see you!!

We will be closed this Saturday, September 5th, so that our awesome employees can enjoy a three day weekend, too!

We will return to our regularly scheduled Saturday walk-ins, for wellness and preventative care, on Saturday, September 12th.

We hope you all have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend!

08/28/2026

Saturday announcements! Join us September 12th at this fun event. We will have some people there with games and free stuff to give out!

September 5th we are not having our walk in clinic. Remember that the clinic always closes on the Saturday of Monday holidays so our staff can enjoy a 3 day weekend also. We will be open on September 12th though with just a few people headed to this event.

Thank you and stay safe!
