BE AWARE: IF YOU DO NOT GIVE A 5 STAR REVIEW YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT OF THIS CLINIC. I wrote a…read morereview on another site stating that this vet was excellent, however I gave one star because of the cost were higher then other Vets. WE HAVE ALWAYS RECEIVED EXCELLANT CARE, Because I gave them 1 star for their high costs we were kicked out of the program. We paid pet wellness care for both dogs and now we will not get reimbursed for that or we will not be able to get their medicine prescriptions either. UNLESS I CHANGED MY REVIEW. I refused to change my review and the Office manager Bonnie refused to let me talk to Doctor Betts. It is so wrong you can't give your opinion and your pets suffer for it. I ASK YOU what kind of a vet is Dr Betts to allow this practice. I asked if Bonnie was willing to lower their costs and she said no. So I stuck by my review, a review that they invited me to take.

The compassion and care for us can never be repaid. Forever grateful and we will be bringing our other 3 animals for care.

Visiting Empire Michigan from Texas. 2 weeks up here with my wife's family…read more Father-in-law has Large 2 year old full blood German Shepherd. I have a 1 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback. The both of them are males. They had played (rough at times) well together for the first 7 days, with no problems. Then out of the blue that changed. The both of them got banged up a bit. Poor Rhodi (my dog), He broke his lower right K9 down below the gum line and ended up with a pretty good hole in his shoulder from one of Barons (other dog) K9's. I called and was told by the very pleasant young woman that the Doctor would have me come in at once. I arrived quickly (short-drive from empire). Again a courteous and knowledgeable lady was there to help. Rhodi was weighed and taking back to a very clean and well supplied exam room. Doctor came in and from then on the care was above and beyond any I could or would have ever expected. The Doctor took mine and Rhodi's worry from, 'will he make it?!', to 'thank God he's going to be fine.', A few hours later Rhodi was back with us and on his road to recovery. The Doctor and his staff not only made a terrible experience bearable, they did it from start to finish with excellence. With all that was wrong with Rhodi I thought the bill was going to be outrageous. But before anything was done the Doctor gave me a breakdown of what care was needed and even showed me on paper the list of need and an itemized billing amount for the total. It was far far less than I ever expected. Do yourself, family, pets and livestock a favor, bring them to these folks. It honestly is the only way to go round this part of Michigan.
