If could put less than one star i would this place is a huge joke!!!! All they care about is getting money. I have a pitt boxer mix who has been limping for months now he has been in and out of the vet been to lane atleast 3 times in the last two months or so 1st they put him on meds didnt work so they said he would need xrays so we set up an appointment tell the lady on the phone hey u have seen him they said he would need xrays also he is making a weird cough or hacking nosie so she sets up for an appintment we go in...1st the vet technician is so afraid of or dog he backed him self as far from my dog as possible (who by the way was still on the leash) so my dog is growling at steve and steve asked what the dog issue was. I told him he was growling because he came in and just started talking and the dog is scared cuz he dosnt know him so he decided to try to give my dog treats but instaed he threw treats across.the room at him (my dog wouldnt eat them off the floor he trained to take treats from.a hand), and then when he was brave enough to try give the dog a treat from his hand he was shaking and that caused my dog to tuck his tale start.shaking and growl more(my dog took the treat from his hand very gentle) He couldnt listen to his heart because he was to scared of the dog.. at this point my dog is very confused and up set. The dr comes in and decided that he needs to be muzzled. My dog is 5 years old and has NEVER once been or needed to be muzzled. But we let them muzzle him... the doc looks at him for like 1 min just to.tell.us they dont do xrays that day and they cant give him anything for the cough/hacking nosie hes making because of ybe mefs they already put him on for tbe limp. and send us home with no answers or help we were prob only there 30mins all togethwr so we basicly paid 35 dollars to have our dog tortured and get no answers at all expect come back in, in a few days. They could have looked at his chart n told us all this on the phone and saved us money and my poor dog the anxiety. We now go to the Humane Society and not once has my dog been muzzled and he even lays in the vets lap. Also lane told us that xrays would take 6hrs... at the human society it only takes an hour and we had an appointment for xrays the next day unlike lane where it would take a week or more to get in and multiple unpleasant and unnecessary visits. This is not the first vet visit at Lane that has been unsatisfying and a waste of time and money. The sad part is that we have another dog 12 and had been going to lane for years but the last year or two lane has just be a complete disappontment when we go..

We relocated to the Chelsea- Grass Lake Michigan area. I have four cats. The eldest female had a sneeze and running nose. I took her to Lane Animal Hospital and we were seen by Dr. Lane. He was very kind and gentle with the cat. He said that it is common to see this during the beginning of fall. One shot and she cleared up in a matter of 24 hours. The cost was just under $50.00 I feel that was very fair. Some vets would have ran every test they could have charged for and I would have been so concerned about our cat that I would have paid what ever they charged. About 2 months later the youngest male was hiding and crying when I got home from work. Friday night about 6:30 pm. I contacted the on Call Vet. Dr. Trimpur ... he met us at the animal hospital and SAVED my cats life. He said if I would have not brought him in then he would have not made it through the night. You must understand this cat is like my third child he is with me all the time. He goes every place I go in the house. He sits with me in the bathroom he helps me cook. Has his own stool to sit on in the kitchen while I do dishes. Well last night my cat started acting like he was uncomfortable and had to pee and could not. Sunday night at 9pm this time. I contacted Dr. Lane he was on call and he met us at the animal hospital. Sure enough another urinary track blockage. So he is still in the hospital and under great care. Im so thankful for such caring vets to take care of my cats. I have always had animals and I have had to deal with MANY vets but Lane Animal Clinic is by far the best. I would trust them with my human kids.

We have been taking our pets to Lanes since 1989. They will not try and charge you for every test and treatment to make an extra dollar. They do simple, effective, reasonable Veternarian care. When our cat was bit by an animal in her chest, Dr. Tremper said " I can do surgery to close her wound up(it was a gaping rip) or I can just give her a shot of antibiotics and it in a few weeks her wound will be healed over and the fur will grow back and you will never know there was a "hole in her chest". I went that route and it cost like 20.00. Sure enough, few weeks later, it was healed over and the fur was starting to grow over it. They gave me medicine for all 6 of our cats vs. having me bring them all in and charging me separately. It was 25.00 out the door for treatment of 6 cats. A Vet that lives 1 mile down the road from me is brand new and she built a mansion of a Vet Hospital. Well, her fees are outrageous. I guess she has to pay for the Vet Mansion. The Drs at Lanes have been in business like 50yrs. They treat your pet like "they are your children". The staff is very friendly, the hospital very clean and efficient.

I was very displeased with this vet. When scheduling an appointment they dont seem to care what youre going in for even when you try to tell them. My dog was diagnosed with Lyme Disease during her yearly blood test. I was given the correct medicine with the wrong directions both verbally and written on the bottle. When I scheduled her follow up since they didnt care I said I was scheduling the appointment for a follow up and they didnt ask any questions. When I got there they asked if I was following up on allergies!?!? I also brought my two cats in for being sick for two separate visits as they werent getting better. They have deformed front feet and when I showed the vet he dismissed it. It has since become a problem for one of them. Each visit was was not cheap as this vet is more expensive than average. The one item I did like about this place is they are good about not letting you wait in the waiting room but instead take you back to a private room and usually you dont wait too long even when early.
