Run, don't walk, to another veterinarian! Don't use this place unless you want them to file a false…read morepolice report against you for just asking for a receipt! Sounds crazy and it is but that's exactly what they did to me. I asked for 2 simple receipts for my pet insurance company to process my claims. For over a week the office manager (Amber Sibo) lied numerous times to me and my insurance company saying she had prepared the receipts and sent them. Incredibly she never did either and after more than a week of wasting my time with her remotely I went in person to get the receipts. For no reason Amber refused again to give them to me. I was able to get 2 envelopes from another employee. I assumed they contained the receipts. Wrong. Both envelopes contained reams of irrelevant documents but NO RECEIPTS! I called Susan Daly the veterinarian and she immediately prepared the receipts and sent them to me. She told me that the Amber had complained that I threatened her. That was absurd and after I gave Susanthe facts she was taken aback by Amber's behavior but not surprised since she said they had been having "other problems with Amber that [they] were working on with her." What Susan Daly concealed from me was the fact that she and Amber had called the police on me for "threatening" Amber. Susan never even bothered to get the facts from me before allowing Amber to file the false police report. When I found out about it I wrote a response to that false report to the poilice and Susan got offended and said it was "over the top" and "what was the purpose?" Seriously? It's ok for her and her office manager to refuse to give me receipts and then file a false report against me but I'm not supposed to do anything? The proper thing for her to do would have been to check with me before filing the false police report. Having failed to do that, she shld have contacted the police and retracted her false statements. But, she did neither. Even after she realized that her problematic office manager had instigated the entire problem she didn't retract her false statements and takes offense when I set the record straight about her misconduct and that of her office manager. . And in her communication to me she considers this matter over because the office manager no longer works there. That changes nothing. Her false police call still happened without her making any effort to correct the record. In my opinion this is not a business - it's a collection of misfits who take people's money and in return treat the people like criminals.

Yes, I highly recommend Leelanau Vet Care. Dr Jerry Harrison…read moreand the entire staff are highly skilled and caring. I sincerely appreciate all they have done for us and our pets thru the many years. My deep regret is not being able to navigate the drive from TC to Lake Leelanau these elder years.

Dana Nelson is so awesome along with her VetTech Azley. Very intelligent and personable. Makes great the contact and understands the needs of me and my dog. I have never been so impressed by any healthcare worker. She's truly the best! Our assistant Azley was amazing as well and made me feel great she remembered my dog from last visits. The 2 are a great team and I will recommend them to anyone. I have lived in TC for 5 years and owned many pets and these are my favorite providers by far. Thanks so much Oakwood!

It's certainly different than when Dr Westheimer was there. He was there for the animals. Their…read morecare was #1. It didn't matter what time it was if you had an emergency He was there.. I really like Dr Brown and she cares for the animals but it's money first. That's top priority. And no emergency calls. You have an emergency she recommends Bay Area Hospital in Traverse City. I had an incident with my previous dog and just talking with Dr W he said he wouldn't have made it to Bear Lake. So I'd have a dead dog. If your dog gets run over and has internal bleeding or whatever you're more than likely to have a dead dog. My advice is if you have an emergency call a vet in this area. From where I live to get to Bay Area Hospital doing 60mph takes almost an hour & a half. That's way to long for a true emergency. Im not saying Dr Brown isn't a good vet ..she is. My Katie girl just loves her ..Dr Brown sits right down on the floor for belly rubs. It's just the emergency issue and money..all of it right up front. She has an app sign that will give you a loan even. I understand she needs & deserves her pay for sure but golly if you can pay at least 1/2 upfront and the rest in 2wks would be awesome. I live on disability. Sometimes money runs thin and I want the best care for my girl no matter what.
