Dr. Surch is the best vet I have ever taken my pets to. I will never take my pets anywhere else as long as Dr. Surch is still practicing. The therapy dog I am a handler for is so excited to see Dr. Surch every time. She takes time with your pets to make sure they are comfortable there. It really helps reduce stress for pets and humans alike. We had a pretty serious issue with our therapy dog's mobility and Dr. Surch was able to identify the issue and refer us to a surgeon. I cannot say enough about how great this place is.

Recently, we had to take our senior cat in to be seen because we knew she was very ill. We were…read more not surprised when the veterinarian confirmed this. He was gentle and concise while outlining our choices. My husband and I had already decided that we didn't want her to suffer if her prognosis wasn't good. We decided to euthanize her and the doctor was respectful of our decision. The rest of the staff were likewise respectful and caring. They were all non judgmental by letting us choose to leave her in their capable hands. I just could not watch her die. Later, they sent us a condolence card. I thought that was very kind. This is the second time that I had to take a very sick and dying old cat to them. I remembered how the doctor did not pressure us into costly tests and therapies at that time. That differed from another vet office in Novi who wanted us to hospitalize the cat. I appreciated Millpond's pragmatic and reasonable advice at that time and at this time. They recognize loving a pet and death with dignity. I highly recommend this office!

His office staff is super nice and the office is immaculately clean. I have brought the pup there a few times but we now see another Vet. I would love to continue going to this Vet but he is a good half hour to 45 min drive from where I live...I just can't justify that drive since I have a great Vet closer by.

Fast forward to late 2020 and we have an emergency so go to Brighton Town and Country. Liked the ER visit, less expensive, so gave it a shot for a regular vet check up. That experience was horrible so we went back to VCA. I am beyond happy that we went back to VCA. You get what you pay for. While there for a nail trim and other normal routine vet stuff, the doctor noticed my one pup had an extremely high heart rate and needed to go to an ER vet so she could be stabilized. I called vets while waiting for a final bill and walk through of my dog's care and all, including the ER vets, turned me away. She did end up getting into MSU, but I don't believe that would have happened if it weren't for their tech Jessica. I was balling my eyes out not knowing what to do. ALL of the techs were caring and supportive, but Jessica was the one who jumped on the phone and tracked down a vet who would monitor her over night until she could see a cardiologist. I am beyond grateful. If you are looking for a vet, give this place a chance!

I gave them a call and they said to bring her in right away. We got there and there were a few other emergencies they were dealing woth. I waited about a half hour and that was ok because Lola was in no major pain at that time. She was bleeding, but when your nail is ripped off, what do you expect? My one complaint was that they seemed almost too lax that Lola was getting blood all over. I was told not to worry that they would clean it up. We went back to the room, then vet came in right away and took and look, then shared the plan. They took her in back and 10 minutes later she came out woth her paw all cleaned and wrapped. I felt very happy with how clear the vet was in regards to the treatment and her care she was receiving. I could hear the staff in the back talking to her and comforting her as they gave care. They didn't try to get me to run extra tests or provide extra services so when it was time to checkout, the cost was half the price of the last time this happened and we took her to a different ER vet. It was such a relief as these times are tough. I was very happy with this place and will likely Make it our regular vet! Thank you!

If your pet is in serious need of care, do not come here. You'll spend a lot of money just to end…read moreup having to put your pet down, and you'll have to pay for that too. I brought my cat here immediately after showing signs of discomfort. The initial diagnosis was related to my cats bladder and essentially kidney stones. I was advised the best treatment is to go into surgery immediately to drain the bladder, clean the urethra as well as shorten the urethra to prevent future complications. When going over the success rates of these types of procedures I was informed by the tech that in the eight years of working there, they'd never lost an animal during this procedure. She must've meant while performing surgery, because the next day on the check up, I was told my cat is experiencing kidney failure and there's no real solution to this except ending my cats discomfort. I understand these things happen but after taking a few days to process this, how this was handled by the staff there was just awful. During the initial diagnosis and discussion, I made sure I was to understand that the $2759.30 I would be spending would cover the entirety of the surgery and follow up visits. I was ensured that amount covers everything in regards to this visit and the follow up. Upon returning to pick up my cat later that evening after his hospitalization, another tech gave me a paper with an estimation of $542.89 for the follow up visit to be scheduled in two weeks. (I don't really have to worry about that anymore) Obviously, this was news to me but I don't really have an option if my cat was to live so I was willing to look past it due to my attachment to my lil guy. I was down to pay whatever. I was then told I would have another follow up the next morning just to ensure everything is fine. Surely this was included in the almost $3k I had spent earlier. It was not. I arrive back at the place of business the following day, and work with a vet I'm a bit more familiar with and we run the tests, and before going over all results, he did his due diligence and follows up with previous vet to go over options but he tells me that despite the previous vets optimism, he does not share the same sentiment as the procedure was effective, but the initial diagnosis was not 100% true to reality in a sense that they did not consider this all was a result of kidney failure. He advises me, best and most realistic route is to put my cat down or continue to run up the cost without a 100% guarantee he will survive and live comfortably. I decide it's best to just listen to him as he really doesn't seem confident we should keep pressing forward. We put my cat down and I'm handed an additional bill of $284.80 All expenses end up being $3054.10, it could have been $3302.19 should the cat have survived (I was only informed again of $2759.30 until AFTER the surgery) I was too depressed and a bit in shock to process the fact that I got swindled by this business. Despite liking to work with the second vet, as I've worked with them before with my dog, I really would never recommend anyone come here.

Dr. Matt is caring, thorough and goes to the extra trouble to explain everything in as much detail as you desire....I asked lots of questions, and all of them were answered. He is very knowledgeable on Eastern medicine and recommended some additional herbal therapies. The needles never seemed to cause Loki any pain and the sessions lasted less than an hour. We had a total of 5 initial treatments, and will do quarterly tuneups going forward. We saw drastic improvements after just 2 sessions. Loki is now pain free and as nimble as a dog 1/2 his age. Steroids never did that for him! I highly recommend giving this practice a try to anyone experiencing chronic issues with their pet.

It's important to me that my animals are seen by the same vet that has their history when they need medical attention as is inevitable. Not only well visits and vaccinations. #2 Dr. Botsford and staff are gentle with my animals and my animals are not afraid after appointments. I have been to different vets in the interim between and I know my babies! They trust Dr. Botsford and staff. #3 Woodland and Dr. Botsford are unpretentious. My cat peed himself in the crate before an appointment. We tried to clean him up. Without hesitation Dr. Botsford picked up my cat and just took care of him! . We live on a farm and sometimes my animals may not be perfectly groomed. I feel no judgement, Only concern for the issue at hand. The office is very clean, but not fancy. The prices are reasonable and Dr. Botsford tells u options, recommending the most sensible. #4. I just opened up their Christmas card and it's SO CUTE! 6 dogs looking up at the camera at the same time, with a little kitten in the background. Dogs look smart and like they are loved . Background setting is behind the office desk. No costumes or poses. UNPRETENTIOUS! When we look for a Doctor to take care of our animal children, we don't need pictures with Santa or all that fluff! Our family needs a Doctor with old school values. A Doctor that really cares about animals. A Doctor who will see them when they're sick. I'm so grateful to have settled on Woodland Animal Hospital to care for our animals. I don't mind passing 10 other veterinarians on the way there! I'm very particular with the care of my animals.
