I have taken my many cats, dogs and rabbits to Dr Michelle, Dr Bart and Dr Melissa for 9 yrs now. I had tried three other vets after moving here 10 yrs ago. Dr Michelle diagnosised my Mickey right away which explained the symptoms that the other offices couldn't. Dr Bart preformed the cancer surgery and Mickey has been completely healthy and is a 15 yr old man now.

I trust all the all the Drs at IVC with my pets and and I am relieved to know that they are always there for my fur kids.

Great office! All the techs really care about my pets too! ����

Most amazing and talented vets out there!! SO loving and caring to pets. BEST vets I've ever used. I was so blessed to have these doctors care for my sweet dog when she was alive. My future pets will NOT go anywhere else!!!!!

LOVE, LOVE IVC

I have 4 personal pets, I'm active in animal rescue, and I used to work at a vet's office, so I have visited and am very familiar with many of the veterinarians in the Charlotte area. Independence Veterinary Clinic is leaps and bounds above all the others. I originally visited IVC because my dog needed an ultrasound and my current vet did not have an ultrasound machine. IVC had great ratings online and also quoted me a price about half of what every other vet did for an ultrasound so I decided to give them a try. I am so glad that I did! Dr. Michelle Bryan took so much time with me and my little senior chihuahua, Duke. She wasn't "in and out" like all the other vets I have seen in the past. She carefully explained to me everything she saw on the ultrasound, the reasons behind her diagnosis, and all of the costs and benefits of different treatments. She didn't try to guilty me into spending a lot of money, and she even helped me find the most affordable options. She and the vet techs were so kind and gentle with Duke. They were incredibly friendly and seemed to really care about my dog. Dr. Bryan called me the day after my visit to follow up and make sure I understood Duke's diagnosis and the different dosages of the several medicines and supplements he has to take on a daily basis. Then she called out of the blue a couple of weeks later to see how Duke was doing. She stated that the staff had been talking about chihuahuas which made her think of Duke so she just wanted to check on him. It is so refreshing to find a vet who actually cares about my pet and is more concerned about my pet's health than with making a bunch of money. I will now be permanently switching all of my pets' care to IVC. They are the most friendly, knowledgeable, and affordable veterinary office I have ever visited. I can't thank them enough for correctly diagnosing Duke and helping ensure that he will live a longer and more comfortable life.

I have been taking my Phoebe and Diana to them for 5 years. We recently had to send our Diana to God after 14 years. They handled the whole experience with Grace and Class. Even Dr. Michele cried with us. The room was set up very peaceful, with candles and soft music. She explained what would happen. They gave us a cast of her paw print and sent us a condolence card and beautiful poem about the Rainbow Bridge. I highly recommend them. They are very caring people and have such a love for your pet.

IVC is a wonderfully accomodating, caring and educated veterinary clinic. They work with you, the client for the best treatment plan for your pet. I work in animal care and was a tech for some time, which opens my ears and eyes to A LOT of practices and never have I heard or seen anything negative about them. Dr. Michelle and Dr. Bart work to the bone to make their practice the best in Charlotte.



Priced not to steal your money(which is rare in Charlotte) but to afford the best treatment for your pet. Sending out labs to get the best reading possible; there are many things that a tech can not see on a slide or when they run bloodwork in house.



I have 2 vets in the Charlotte area and will not go anywhere else but these 2. IVC takes their time with you and your pet. They are open extended hours to accomodate YOU. Everyone you run into at IVC is always full of love for you and your pet. There is not a high turn over in their practice which means, happy educated receptionists and techs. They are very selective on their new hires; it is a high bar that the people who are employeed there had to meet and exceed for YOU and your pet.



They greet you at the door or your car to help you in when your hands are hardly even full. They help you out to the car. There are never any stupid questions to ask them; there is always follow up, even on vaccinations to ensure that your fur baby is doing well. Heck they even go as far as to give you reminder calls for your pets monthly preventatives!



They train their staff WEEKLY on new things and old things to ensure the best care.

I have been both in the exam rooms and in the back with my pets and others. Never once did I have to wait more than 5 minutes of walking in the door and never once did I feel uncomfortable with the procedure being done. Ask around; ask kennels, doggy day cares, pet shops, pet owners they will tell you. No matter which vet or tech I have had in a treatment room my pet is always treated like the only pet on Earth and I am treated as if I am the only human on Earth.



I refer the daylights out of them to my clients as my clients pets are just as important as my own. Your pet deserves the best treatment possible, seek no further as you have found your practice.



Keep in mind, just like human health care, animal health care is not for the faint of heart. The best 'bosses', vets and managers at veterinary clinics expect nothing but the greatest composure and work out of their employees. Like I said before, high turn over is a negative in this industry, IVC does not have that. If they let somebody go it is simply because they did not make the cut, not because they are a bad person.
