Founded by Dr. Agda Tamassia and Dr. Andre Shih, Dogwood has grown from a small, dedicated team into Atlanta’s premier specialty and emergency hospital, now home to 19 doctors and Georgia’s best supporting staff.
Pets are family, and when they need care, you want the best.
That belief drives everything we do.

Our hospital offers advanced specialty support in:
Surgery, Internal Medicine, Oncology, Cardiology, Radiology, Anesthesiology, and Palliative Care — all under one roof, ensuring seamless communication and complete care for every patient.
Dogwood is also proud to be the one of the few hospitals in Georgia offering:

Excellence in Medicine.
Compassion in Practice.
Our state-of-the-art facility features advanced imaging, in-house laboratory diagnostics, and the latest in medical technology.
But what truly defines Dogwood is our people.
Every member of our team is supported, confident, and always learning, so every patient receives the safest, most compassionate care possible.
Through our in-house training program, Dogwood University, and our scholarship program with Penn Foster School, we invest deeply in our team’s growth — providing continuing education, mentorship, and advanced certification opportunities.
