I cannot say enough good things about them. I highly recommend them. When hard decisions must be made Dr. Ballaranda gives you all the time you need to answer your questions and make an informed decision. As an adult I have had 8 pups so I am familiar with the process of euthanasia. Never has it been done so lovingly and with such kindness. Instead of the stainless steel table and bright lights, the table was covered with a plush blanket and the lights dimmed. Knowing Chip was comfortable meant the world to me. I was able to hold her and talk to her. It is always difficult to let go but being with Chip in a room filled with love Made it a bit easier. You will never find a vet better than Dr. Ballaranda. She sets the bar high and the staff rises to meet it.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Mena and his staff. Dr. Mena consistently goes…read moreabove and beyond to provide exceptional care while also being mindful of the financial burden that can come with major medical procedures. When my dog required major surgery, he madeevery effort to reduce unnecessary costs and, currently, when outside diagnostics are needed, takes the time to look for cost-effective options and bundled services. He is proactive in finding ways to make necessary treatments as affordable as possible without compromising the quality of care. There was a time when I shared the concern that some veterinary practices seemed more focused on the financial aspect of care than the well-being of the animals. Dr. Mena has completely changed that perspective for me. He is compassionate, honest, and genuinely committed to doing everything he can for his patients. My pets mean the world to me, and I have complete confidence that Dr. Mena and his team will always provide them with the highest level of care possible. I am incredibly grateful to have a veterinarian who treats my precious fur babies with such compassion.

That's why we expect them to receive level of care and attention that we might receive ourselves if we had to go see a doctor. I'm happy to say that Patterson delivers on those expectations. The nurses and receptionist are friendly and attentive. Dr. Lynch took time to explain in great detail what all of my Boston terrier's lab results meant, rather than just giving me a bottom line. When it came time to pay for the services, I was mindful of how much I as a human appreciate insurance. You do pay for this level of care. The office visit was $54. It cost about $200 for blood and urine tests. 14 pills and 12 cans of special dog food set me back about $80. I'd say my dog was worth the expense, and she is. But, part of the reason I came here was because I thought Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital was too expensive. It seems that if you want quality, you have to pay for it.

My regular vet does not perform surgeries and referred me to Metropolitan Veterinary Center for my…read more10-year-old pitbull mix's mast cell tumor removal. The tumor was located on his abdomen and was smaller than a quarter. The surgery was performed by Dr. Terbrack--and the condition in which my dog was sent home was nothing short of horrific. A few hours after surgery, I received a call from the clinic stating that my dog had developed some swelling and bruising, which they described as a seroma--a common, non-painful, fluid-filled swelling that typically resolves on its own. However, when I arrived to pick him up, a vet tech asked if I had a bathroom or hallway I "didn't mind getting dirty" because my dog was a "bloody mess." They had apparently performed two additional incisions to drain the so-called "seroma." This was not a seroma. My dog had a hematoma--he was actively bleeding, and the discharge was clearly blood, not clear fluid. His entire abdomen was severely bruised and swollen. Shockingly, the clinic had no proper bandages to manage the bleeding and instead sent him home wrapped in a scrub shirt and pee pads. What kind of surgical facility doesn't have basic wound care supplies like bandages? I was repeatedly told that mast cell tumors "sometimes act like this." My dog has had an MCT removal before, and this did not happen. I was advised to take him to the emergency vet only if the bruising or bleeding worsened. By that evening, I had no choice but to do exactly that. He ended up hospitalized for three days, receiving IV fluids, pain management, and antibiotics. He was also properly bandaged--something that should have been done from the start. The emergency vet told me he was in significant pain for the first 48 hours, and that oral medications alone would have been entirely inadequate to manage it. Despite spending over $2,500 on surgery and pre-op testing at Metropolitan, I had to pay an additional $4,000 in emergency care to save my dog's life. Fortunately, I had pet insurance and could afford it--otherwise, I may have lost him. Dr. Terbrack and the team at Metropolitan Veterinary Center downplayed my dog's condition, failed to provide adequate post-operative care, and sent him home in a state no animal should be in. I cannot recommend this clinic to anyone considering surgical care for their pet.

Over many years, I've seen Dr. rescue animals that have been injured and he nursed back to health. I've seen his office filled with five or six animals at a time. Animals he's just graciously taken in and provided a home for them. Veterinarians like Dr. Terkel often have to balance compassion with medical judgment. When a pet is suffering, they may recommend difficult decisions--sometimes including euthanasia--to prevent further pain. Even when it's medically sound, that advice can be incredibly hard for families to hear. And except especially when the pet feels like a true member of the family. When a beloved pet dies, people can experience grief similar to losing a human loved one. That grief can include: * Sadness and deep loss * Questioning decisions ("Did we do the right thing?") * Anger or disagreement with the situation * Guilt or second-guessing All of those reactions are normal parts of grieving a companion animal.
