Testimonials (Petstimonials)

Zoe and I appreciate the dedication and good care from Dr. Dhaliwal and his team! Zoe is doing excellent after Luxating Patella Surgery. We will continue our visits, as we have for the past 7 years, from our new home in Brooklyn, MI., as I trust in your care explicitly! Thank You so much!

About two weeks ago I brought my English bulldog puppy(Oscar) in to see Dr. Dhaliwal. Since having been turned away by numerous vets because no one wanted to perform the surgery on my little puppy Oscar because of little to no experience with a salivary gland surgery. Dr. Dhaliwal has done this type of surgery before and was able to help Oscar. His staff was very kind and courteous and treated Oscar as if he was their puppy. I will without a doubt be coming here for any of Oscar's veterinary needs.

My English Setter, Ellie is a cancer survivor and "tripawd" since her amputation due to Osteosarcoma in July 2012. She has done remarkably well, all because of the care she has received. Any time I have needed to have her or my Pug seen, it has always been the same day, working around my work hours. I have never been more satisfied with care for my pets and at a reasonable cost. I owe a lot to Dr. Dhaliwal and his staff.

Recently Dr. Dhaliwal saved Lena's life. She was diagnosed with a large lung tumor. After taking her to two specialists who said they could perform the surgery charging an astronomical fee, Dr. Dhaliwal offered to perform the surgery at a quarter of what they were asking! The surgery was a success, and Lena is now home. I can't say enough good things about this practice. Dr. Dhaliwal is sincerely interested in helping families who could not otherwise afford expensive surgeries for their pets.

Wendy E.

A few months ago my prized bird hunting dog/family pet tore her Achilles tendon, after many phone calls and a lot of research I was directed to Dr. Dhaliwal. The surgery went great! When your pet needs a serious surgery, having things go as smoothly as possible is PRICELESS! Thanks to Dr. Dhaliwal!
