When I asked reasonable questions about my cat's care, the clinic denied me service, saying I was "asking too many repetitive questions." This is unacceptable.

09/12/24 - Called to get an approximate cost on doing a dental cleaning for my dog. I was told I…read moreneeded to bring the dog in for an exam at a cost of $58 before they would give me a price. I asked what the starting price for dental cleaning was and Emily said she did not know she would have to ask someone else who was busy at the moment. According to their website, Emily has worked there since June 2023. In 15 months of working there you don't know the pricing structure yet, or where to find it?! I understand every dog's situation is different, but you should be able to tell someone the starting price for a dog dental cleaning so I can decide if I even want to come in to have my dog examined to get a better price estimate. I've called a couple other East Lansing vets, and they were willing to give me a price over the phone. What's the big secret? If your price starts at $1,000 and the other place starts at $500, I'm probably going to the place that starts at $500, but I won't be coming to Southside at all because you won't give me an approximate starting price. I'm not going to spend $58 to have you tell me some ridiculous starting price, which could have been determined over the telephone, saving us both the time and saving me the $58. I'm here temporarily from Arizona and in Arizona, most of the veterinarians list their dental pricing on their website.

Luna came into the vet lethargic, not being able to walk properly and she also had some tooth pain. we told the vet how she was acting and they brought her back and checked her out. we agreed on doing blood work and that took about 4 hours (that's fine) and we got a call when she was almost done to come back so we did. the receptionist kept telling us the doctor knew we were there and a hour and a half later the doctor brought us back and said "sorry, nobody told me you were here" so not sure wtf was going on there. the doctor told us they gave her pain medicine and checked her vitals and that everything looked good and normal and her bloodwork was normal. they gave us gabapentin for her and sent us home and said she will be lethargic but overall she will be fine. so tell me why, monday, april 13th we take her to another vet who looked at Luna for 5 minutes, noticed Lunas back legs were cold and finally said "yup, it most likely is blood clots" and we had to make a decision. spend 10k on treatment just for her to never be the same again or put her down right then and there. all day sunday we could have spent the entire day with Luna and cuddling her. instead she was stuck in a hospital who truly didn't care about her. if you have any concern for your animal please go to the Southside Animal Hospital. they were amazing

My dog who is timid around strangers has done alright with them here which is a positive in my book. Unfortunately, their kennel seems to be booked up every time, so I have no experience there.

Dr. Chris Jones has been reported for substandard veterinary conduct to both, the Michigan…read moreVeterinary Medical Association, and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. I wish I had taken the warnings from other Google reviewers seriously. Unfortunately, I experienced the exact same incompetence, unprofessionalism, and disregard for both pets and their owners that so many have described in the reviews over the years. Carrie Westphal was right: they nickel-and-dime pet owners with unnecessary, overpriced appointments and procedures. Lain's tragedy of a missed heart murmur diagnosis echoes my own experience with their careless medical oversight. Like Zainab, I've been treated with open hostility for asking basic questions. Carsten Walker's account of being blamed for the clinic's own surgical mistakes shows the same refusal to admit error that I encountered. Shauna Soergel's description of staff manhandling anxious pets is not an exaggeration; I've watched them escalate a stressed animal rather than calm it. Cristi's story about Dr. Jones' arrogance? 110% accurate. He is a liability. These are not isolated incidents; they are a consistent pattern of negligence and disrespect toward clients and their pets. My own breaking point came after multiple visits with Dr. Jones. In a 2023 visit, he ignored my explicit instructions and gave my Klee Kai unnecessary vaccines that were not due until the following year. My own records (provided by our previous family vet) show my Morkie was due for rabies 24-Jan-2023, while my Klee Kai was due 13-Feb-2024. Dr. Jones' excuse was "we usually just do both dogs at the same time." This is a textbook violation of informed consent and client autonomy. My final visit was also with Dr. Jones, after I was told my Klee Kai had IVDD by MSU's ER. I scheduled this appointment for long-term care planning. Instead, Dr. Jones simply regurgitated the MSU report back to me nearly verbatim, with awkward silences where paragraphs/thoughts ended in the MSU report. In those awkward silences I thought to myself, "is this a joke?" He came and went from the room multiple times (3+) to check and re-check the MSU reports again and again, he even offered to print them out for me; I was already given copies by MSU. "Dr." Jones never answered my direct questions about preventing disease progression. When I finally asked, "do you even know what IVDD is?" it was clear he had nothing to offer so I ended the appointment. The staff behavior is no better. One assistant ignored me upon arrival, humming and staring at her computer until she decided to check me in. She then stood behind the counter while telling me to weigh my dogs (something every other vet tech I've ever dealt with has done themselves). She snapped at me when I asked, "Isn't that your job?" emphasis was given on "job" not "your". With a raised voice and aggression in her body language, she shouted at me "do not tell me what to do". This not only shows how systemic the issues at this animal clinic are, but it shows the managements total disregard for professionalism and customer-directed incivility. On my last visit, when I refused to pay for a pointless appointment that provided no medical value, the assistant and office manager tried to flag me down in the parking lot, prescription in hand, insisting I "WILL pay." I told them to call the police, twice, because I was not going to be paying them for services I did not receive. Overall, this clinic has: A) a pattern of overcharging and pushing unnecessary procedures and vaccines, and in my experience: without consent. B) Failure to diagnose or discuss serious conditions until it's too late. C) Rude, condescending, and aggressive staff, both in person and over the phone. D) Improper animal handling that can traumatize anxious pets. E) No accountability when they make mistakes. If you care about your pet's health, safety, and emotional well-being and your own sanity: go ANYWHERE else.

They took their time with us to make sure they had all the information, and when she was cold they wrapped her in a warm towel. My dog was incredibly sick and feeble, and her previous vet didn't ask questions and treated her like a quota, sending us away in five minutes. ELVC fought for her just as hard as I did, and never gave up on her. They sent me a card when she passed away, and I still have the card hung up on my wall. Now Dr. Ebling takes care of my cat, Calcifer. Calcifer used to have a crippling fear of men, but Dr. Ebling is so gentle with him that he's not afraid at all! Thank you, ELVC! You're the best!
