Heidi and Sarah are absolutely amazing. Despite the fact that there are other vets closer, the drive to them is more than worth it, and I'm not the only rural resident that feels that way. They draw clients from up to 100 miles away, because they are so compassionate and caring, always spending all the time needed to address and concerns or questions. I lost my dog Woof to Cushing's a year ago, and they went above and beyond to help me find the best treatment for her, answering my questions, doing extra research for me, helping me with her diet, even contacting the veterinary hospital at MSU numerous times. They never charge me for office calls because I was in there so much with Woof and with maintenance care on my other dogs. After Woof died, Heidi painted a statue for me that looks like her. In Arizona I spent 9 years driving 40 miles one way to my old vet because I couldn't find one I was happy with in my new area. One of the best things about living in Northern Michigan is the opportunity to use IRVC for my pets; in 40 years of owning dogs I've never found a vet I've been happier with. I wish I could nominate all of her employees as well as Sarah Ginop, the other vet; they are all truly fantastic.

Kelsey has been an outstanding vet, she has taken on more shifts and worked longer hours with no complaints. Kelsey has stepped up and has trained our new Veterinarian who just graduated. Kelsey's determination and drive helped to keep our large animal services afloat. thank you you working almost every weekend and for being on call most of the month of June and July. You are truly one of a kind.

The week before Labor Day, my cocker spaniel was playing outside. He has an affinity for tennis balls and one was trapped inside a chicken coop. Because of his obsession, he jumped in way on top of a five foot pile of wooden pallets. In his attempt to retrieve the ball, he managed to falter and fall off the pallets; catching his scrotum on a rusty nail. We had no other option but to cut the nail in half, resulting in the half that was inside to fall further into the scrotal sac. We had to take him into the emergency animal hospital, which provided little care. Our veterinarian took our call outside of office hours and got our baby into the operating room right away the next morning. Not only were we able to have our fur baby back with us the same day, but he saved him from infection and infertility by going out of his way to take care of him. Dr. Wright is a phenomenal veterinarian that takes pride in what he does and truly gets to know his patients and their owners. I wouldn't place my dogs health in any other hands.
