Prior to Hawthorne Animal Hospital, our location at 530 Hawthorne Avenue was home to Classic City Cat Clinic and The Cat and Dog Clinic. The late Dr. Jeffrey Conrad was the previous owner. Dr. Conrad was a University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine graduate and served in the U.S. Air Force for over 13 years as an electronics engineering officer. Dr. Conrad strongly believed that keeping pets healthy requires a close, cooperative effort between pet owners and their veterinarian. He strove to help educate pet owners and provide the best care for their pets through preventative medicine. Dr. Yash hopes to carry on his legacy!
