The staff and doctors are caring, compassionate, but pragmatic. We've never been pressed to buy services we didn't need. When something needs to be done, the vets take the time to explain options and consequences. While nobody wants to balance their pet's health with the cost, we sometimes have to and they help us with those decisions by giving realistic price estimates and laying out what needs to be done, what should be done, and what could be done.

We have been to 6 veterinarians to try and find out what is wrong with my Yorky. Dr. Starr took the time to come out to the vehicle to introduce herself, to have a full on conversation about my little girl, and discuss treatments. It is much easier to build a new relationship of trust when you can talk face-to-face. I appreciate the knowledge, care and concern from Dr. Starr. I welcome the “customer service” that is hard to find in this world!Pam RoopPam R.Pam R. ★★★★★ We could not be happier with the care our pets have received from SB Animal Hospital.

Sheri & AJ from Northport, MI

I have been coming to SB Animal Hospital for many years and two eras of pets. My pets are like my children and very important to me. SBAH seems to know this and understand this. I am always treated with respect, as are my pets.

Laura from Traverse City, MI

So many reasons why…. one being that it’s comforting to have a vet that cares for your pet just as much as you do. From the front desk to the exam room, In my 8 years with this vet, the flow of compassion has been steady and consistent, thank you!

Kari from Williamsburg, MI
