Meet The Team
Our story began in 1989
When Dr. Eric Sjoberg and his family opened a small veterinary clinic to serve the Danielsville, GA community. For over 30 years, this little country clinic has helped countless pets and their families. Today, under the name Ila Veterinary Clinic, the practice remains rooted in those same values of compassion and community.
