Everything from our initial call through our first appt. was great. The front office staff reached out to let me know when they received the records from my former vet, and were always very professional and friendly. We were welcomed and shown into a room immediately, and our vet tech was wonderful. Our cat is a big old scaredy cat, so we really appreciated how kind and gentle both the vet tech and Dr. Tate were, and that they were even nice enough to wrap our cat in a blanket they misted in calming pheromones. One reason we left our last vet was because they kept trying to sell us on every test and unnecessary thing our cat didn't actually need. So, I was really grateful Dr. Tate did a great exam, told us possible tests (i.e. blood work options) and then let us make our decision without judgement. We're so grateful we found Dr. Tate! read more

Switched to this vet since much closer to my home. I found the vet Dr. Tate very nice. Sad to post this review. In the annual check-up she detected a heart murmur and "gravely sounds" in my 6 y/o cat's lungs. She said she didn't think there was a need for additional testing, and told me to keep an eye on his respiration rate - count it when he sleeps and call them if gets fast. I did that, and over the next few months called their office on 2 different occasions to report respiration that was just over the "fast" side. The person that answered the phone took the information and I was told there was not a concern. I brought my boy back for annual exam. The night before he had a bad coughing fit. I was told they did an x-ray and that his heart was enlarged and he was in hear failure. I was there over an hour waiting and knew something was wrong. I was sent to Blue Pearl in Southfield - told they had vet cardiologists there. (NEVER go to Blue Pearl - terrible!) Discovered the next day that Veterinary Cardiology Consultants had an office only a few miles north of Troy Vet Hospital! At Blue Pearl they diagnosed my boy with congestive heart failure / hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This was approx. $3,500 visit - after spending about $700 at Troy Animal Hospital. I followed-up with Vet Cardiologist Consultant's for my cat's care. In the following 11 months I've spent another $2,000 - $3,000 on consultations, echocardiograms, fluid aspiration, monthly medications, supplements, holistic care. My boy was in advanced heart failure and died two days ago. I've learned along the way that in that initial annual check-up at Troy Animal Hospital in November 2017 that the heart murmur and gravely sounds detected in his lungs were early & strong indicators of cardio myopathy developing. I wasn't even offered the option of additional diagnostic testing - I would have done it! Instead told she "didn't think it was necessary at this time." If testing had been done and treatment started then he could have lived a long and healthy life with condition management. Instead, his quality of life deteriorated fast - he died at only 8 y/o - and it cost me approx. $7,000 in that 11 months along with so much stress, sadness and grief. My heart is broken. My boy was one of those special cats - the kind even people who hate cats love. He deserved better. I understand mistakes are made in life but this was inexcusable. I called twice to report fast breathing afterwards and they weren't concerned!! Is this a matter of being too busy to give proper attention? Why not suggest testing to rule out a potentially deadly condition developing? I wish I had never stopped going to my previous vet who specialized in cats. My boy would be alive. read more

The only thing this place represents and cares about is the mortgage on their respective homes. Greedy, cold, materialistic and not animal loving...money loving. They represent the worst of vets-no love or care for animals or people. 1) Does not call back or follow up 2) Quick judgment without all the facts present 3) Does not practice smart veterinary science but just throws the kitchen sink at the issue in order to get money first and recognize the problem second 4) No collaboration between Dr. Tate and Dr. Boensch 5) No consensus between the two vets or the staff 6) No empathy or sympathy from Dr. Tate specifically - no call backs while my cat was severely sick from Dr. Tate 7) Staff's emphasis is not on animal well-being or helping patients through trying times with sick pets. They only care about their paycheck. DON'T GO THERE! TAKE YOUR PETS SOMEWHERE ELSE. read more

We have been taking our dogs to Troy Veterinary Hospital for years and our pets have always received excellent care. Dr. Tate has been very caring and observant of our dogs's conditions and given the best of care to them. We have boarded our dogs a few times, and that has always been a good experience too. read more

I had to find a new veterinarian for my cat & I am so happy I found Dr. Berk at Troy Veterinary Hospital.She was just genuinely nice & very informative.She was also very patient, not in a big rush as some vet's seem to be. My people picky cat let her do the exam, vaccinations & all with no complaints, that right there says it all! I was also greeted with a hello & a smile by the receptionist as soon as I opened the door. The office and exam room were both comfortable and clean and my cat was allowed to roam free in the exam room & check everything out before we saw the doctor, that seemed to make her much more at ease with everything. After everything was done including Dr. Berk answering my many questions I held my breath at the front desk while waiting to hear how much this was going to cost me, It was way less than what I was guessing in my head and I was very happy with that besides being able to breath again! My vet search is done, they're stuck with us now :) read more

After having a very bad experience with my past vet (you can see my past reviews if you would like to know a vet office to avoid) I was very, very picky when choosing my next vet. Then I found the wonderful Dr. Tate. She's absolutely wonderful, she's diagnosed some pretty obscure diseases in two of my pets and they have responded really well to treatment. She has gone above and beyond trying to diagnose and help my pets. Not only has she given my animals quality and quantity of life, but she has an extremely pleasant bedside manner and always makes sure that my husband and I fully understand what is going on with our fur kids. If we ever move out of state, I don't know what I'll do. read more

I have been coming here with my family for about 40 years and will always be here. We have had many animals and have always been very helpful, informative and compassionate. read more

My dog gets nervous whenever she goes to places- especially the vet. The staff are incredibly sweet and go above and beyond to make my dog feel comfortable in the setting. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful when explaining everything that they will do, are doing, and what I can do to keep my dog healthy. read more

I have been going to Troy Veterinary Hospital for over 25 years. They have never been anything but caring and professional. They have gone out of their way to be accommodating including, staying open late when I called 5 min before closing because my cat got hurt. If I call with a question that the techs can't immediately answer, I have always received a call back from the vets the same day, once at 8PM. When my puppy was spayed a few months ago, they even texted me a picture and update when she woke up from anesthesia. I have NO DOUBT that I have always gotten the best in medical care for all of my pets. I don't know the circumstances surrounding the other reviews but, I can't say enough good things about the whole office and wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Boarded our two dogs at Troy Veterinary Hospital for 5 days and our younger dog reacted seriously to something in the kennel. She developed bleeding "hot spots" on all four paws and over the rest of her body. Within three days of coming home from the kennel, and us having to come home early from vacation, she was in so much pain she stopped eating and couldn't walk. We ended up having to rush her to the emergency Vets. We tried to talk (2 times within a week of coming home) to the Veterinarian in charge at Troy Veterinary Hospital to discuss what could have happened. She never tried to contact us in return, except after we wrote a letter and deducted the ER charges from our bill. When she did call and speak to my husband (two months after our dog was boarded) she never once asked how our dog was doing, or if she was dead or alive. All she seemed concerned about was the balance of what she had charged us. After seven dogs and 25 years with this clinic, we will be taking our business elsewhere. read more

Dr. Branch (If that's how it's spelled) was fantastic. So was the vet tech. Very pleased with the care my cat got. After having a horrible experience with another vet in the area I was so happy to find this place. I don't know how the male veterinarian is that owns the practice but three ladies I saw were great! read more

I've always had a good experience here. The staff is friendly, and does a good job of following up with lab results or to check if you pet's condition has improved. They're open on Saturdays, which is helpful for people who work. read more

I took my guinea pigs to get their nails trimmed here. A week later one my pigs had a very swollen, red, crusty foot and was limping. I immediately took her to a different vet. She contracted ringworm. She is in excruciating pain and I have to treat her with 4 different meds daily. The infection is the worst around her toes, coincidence? I don't think so. She absolutely got it here. My guinea pigs don't leave their cage. Nothing has changed in their environment. Someone either didn't disinfect the clippers, exam table or wash their hands between animals. The people here were very nice to me and my animals but clearly someone dropped the ball in preventing the spread of a contagious disease. I will not return. read more

Love this office - been going there for years. I have multiple pets and trust them with all of my furry family members! I have found their pricing on food, heartworm meds, etc. to be very competitive with other alternatives and I trust their recommendations on food, meds, etc. Dr. Tate very well versed on all aspects of pet care - including behavioral issues - and is an obvious animal lover! Their office runs very smoothly - you will rarely have a long wait time - they are not one of those vets that overbooks their vet and patients (and their people) end up spending alot of time waiting -- they honor your time. I have referred many friends - and will continue to do so. This is the best vet office in the Troy area - hands down - no question! read more

Troy Veterinary Hospital Rocks!!! I have 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs and they are well taken care of by Dr. Tate and staff. They are patient with me as I ask a lot of questions. They go out of their way to accommodate my pups in urgent situations. They are always warm and friendly. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking my dogs anywhere else. I highly recommend this office for anyone looking for a wonderful vet. Love them!!!!! read more

I would not trust anyone else with our Yorkie than Troy Vet Hospital! He has an eye disease that must be monitored and has already lost one eye to the disease. The staff are knowledgeable and very caring! He has a very "dramatic" personality but they love that about him. When we have to board him I never worry that he will get the best care and attention possible. As a matter of fact the last time we boarded him, I told Dr Tate he had developed a problem with his eye the night before we were leaving on vacation. She immediately determined he had a spontaneous ulcer and began treatment to aleviate his pain and treat the ulcer. I would have cancelled my vacation had it not been for her. THANK YOU Dr Tate and all the wonderful staff at Troy Vet Hospital!!!! Jake and his family love you! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Troy Veterinary Hospital and the entire staff became like family to me over 8 years ago when I began using Dr. Tate as my pets primary doctor. They exceeded all of the expectations I needed and was looking for when it came to my pets health and well-being! I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Tate- her passion for animals has always been clear and her knowledge in veterinary medicine impresses me every time I am there- from my cats, to my dogs, to my pet rats, and even my pet squirrel, she never fails to amaze me! She is patient, thorough, confident, and caring- everything I would want when it comes to my pets health. She is an extraordinary surgeon and doctor that I am so thankful I found! I could never imagine taking my pets anywhere else- she is the best in the area and I would highly recommend her! Your pets will thank you too! read more
