We were up north on vacation and our cat had an eye issue. They kindly gave us an emergency appointment. Timely, professional, kind vet. And accurately diagnosed and treated our cat. Wish we lived closer, I’d switch vets

They called a couple of days after I had my dog son in for a limp he developed to see how he was doing. Thank you for caring

The Doctors and staff are outstanding. Doctors explain things in plain English and answer all questions honestly. Always kind and understanding. Had to bring my cat in for an emergency during a snow storm a few weeks back-- they stayed open until i could get there. Staff are friendly and caring also. Best place I have found to take my cats.

was at my mom and dads in whittemore, when my dog came to the door with a mouthful of quills. Called the vet after hours about 12:00am and he meet me up their. He took care of my dog and was so nice. Then called today to make sure my dog is ok. I would highly recommend them! Thank you so much.

I have dealt with a lot of Vets having owned nine Great Danes. By far, this Vet is the best one ever! Dr. King, is bright, personable, has a remarkable way with dogs and a top flight surgeon. Tawas area can be happy they have him here. Don't even hesitate-- to make him your first choice for a Vet.

My pet was injured while visiting in the area early in the spring of 2012 I called around and this clinic was open for another 15 minutes as it was a Saturday. We were more than 15 minutes out but the doctor and staff waited patiently for our arrival. We were met at the door with care and concern and were shown to a room. There were already towels on the table so that my pet would be comfortable. I was asked to fill out some paperwork but even before I had finished it, the doctor was in the room examining my pet. It was determined that Bailey would have to be hospitalized. Though I was grealy concerned about his care over a weekend, Dr. Falker assured me that he would be checked on regularly and monitored over the weekend. He took the time to explain how he would be treating my pet. I was even allowed to see the area where by little one was to be housed. It was very clean and the technician that had stayed after hours had already lined the cage with blankets. Not being familiar with this clinic, I have to admit I did a few drive bys over the weekend and 3 out of 4 times there was a vehicle at trhe clinic. On Sunday I received a call saying that there was much improvement and that there was a good chance Bailey would be released on Monday. I received a call before 9 am on monday and was given a time to come pick up my pet. Due to the nature of his illness, Bailey was quite a mess when I brought him in but when I picked him up not only was he daisy fresh but also had that sparkle back in his eyes. Dr. Falker was not in on Monday but had went over Bailey's case with Dr. King.



Dr. King covered all of Dr. F's notes, explained the medication that was being sent home and what it did. The gals at the front desk were friendly and happy that my little friend was doing so well. The girl that brought Bailey up to me was hugging and loving on her and I don't think Bailey even wanted to come home with me! The following day I received a follow up call asking about Bailey. Heck I don't get this kind of attention from my own doctor. Just last week I was back in the area and needed some dog food. I did not have the clinic phone number so came to yp.com look it up. I was very surprised to read the negative review. I just wanted to take the time to say that I did not find this to be the case what so ever. Again....thanks for all you did for my beloved Bailey.

Love it!! I have been bringing my pets here for 13 years. I have had to deal with both joy and sorrow and the staff, Dr. King and Dr. Falker has been absolutely amazing!! My pets get better follow up care from illness and surgery then I ever have. They call the day after surgery and when they are seen for any illness, they call to check on them , where else do you get that kind of care and service?

I just wanted to say that I believe in this clinic 100%. Dr King is fantastic, he really takes his time to listen to all my concerns, and ALL my pets love him and let me tell you, i have many cats and dogs! He also is available 24/7 by phone with any emergencies! I cannot even count the many times that he has helped me out in the middle of the night while i'm frantic when my cat was gone for days and returned lethargic with multiple battle wounds & lethargic! The staff is always knowledgeable and they take good care of my animals when i'm away while they stay at their boarding facility. I highly recommend Dr. King and his staff & wouldn't take my pets to anyone else!

Sorry the previous poster feels that way. If your not happy with the vet, like doctors, find one downstate. I live in Gaylord and took my dogs back to Livonia for their appointments up until last year. I had an emergency back in March '12 with my 14 y.o. dog on a weekend and Dr. King met me at 8:30 at night to treat her. Had another 5 quality months with her. Lost my 15 y.o. 3 months later. Now have a one year old and getting a puppy in the spring. I make it a point to schedule appointments when I'm at the cottage in Oscoda. I WILL NOT have a vet in Gaylord look at my dogs, unless it's an emergency. If you have a problem with the flea/tick medicine, there's always Petmeds.com, and never have had a problem with the staff.....I think they're great. Just my opinion, but if I'll drive 120 miles to take care of my dogs when I won't go that far to take care of myself, that means something.

I guess in a city with not much choice they will have to do. Being from a big city and working in a vet for the past 10 years I can truely say these people do not strive for excellence they are a low quality vet that gets by because there isn't really any competition around. The staff has been nothing but rude to me everytime I walked through the doors and even though I probably know a good deal more than they do they treat me like I'm an idiot. They also love to play tack on charges without letting you know. If your dog soils themselves while boarding they charge you to bath him being in this business this is absurd it should be free or just rinse them off its not like they don't come home smelling awful anyways. The flea an tick products they carry aren't that great I've never been to a vet that is all about frontline except them. This product is just cheap and isn't the product I would use on my pets but because they don't carry anything else I have no choice. Very disappointed in the fact I hardly have a choice but to suck it up and deal with a crappy vet offices in this area.
