Appointment Requests:
NEW patients (And patients we have not examined in the past 2 years): We are at our maximum daily capacity for one doctor. To maintain a safe level of patient care, we have to set a daily limit on how many patients can be scheduled or worked in. Our schedule is currently booked 3-4 months out for NEW patients. If your pet cannot wait, please call your referring veterinarian for a referral to another ophthalmologist or click here for a list of ophthalmologists in our region.
CURRENT Patients: Patients that have been examined within the last year, will receive priority for appointments. We will determine appointment “work-in” eligibility on a case-by-case basis. Please call 517-655-2777 or send an email to: [email protected]
Current curb-side protocol is as follows:
**Updated November 2023**
UPDATE: Starting May 30th, 2023- We are allowing 1-2 owners to come in with their pet for the exam. Please call 517-655-2777 to check in. Wait in the parking lot or in your car and we will notify you when a room is ready. We are keeping traffic in our lobby to a minimum. We’ve learned this is much less stressful for our patients and clients. You may elect to continuing doing a curbside appointment if you choose.
When we choose not to do curbside, we are unable to get as many appointments in to be seen. Therefore, if we have high demand and patients with issues that cannot wait, we will ask that you wait in your car. Thank you for understanding.
- You may access the restroom at any time while you are here. From the parking lot: follow the sidewalk to the left of the front door and enter thru the side door on the SW corner of the building on the Grand River side.
- All pet’s must be on a leash or in a carrier. We have slip-leashes if needed.
- FOR MEDICATION PICK-UPS: We will place the medication inside our vestibule at the front door on a table. As always, we can mail medications if preferred but mail service has been very unpredictable (can take 2-7 day on average but has taken as many as 14 days) so please order medications at least two weeks before you will need them.
WE CAN’T THANK OUR WONDERFUL CLIENTELE ENOUGH FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND KINDNESS AT THIS TIME WHILE WE WORK TO CARE FOR YOU PETS!!
ATTENTION: If you are sick in anyway, or are displaying symptoms of Coronavirus, or if you have been exposed to another person that is infected, PLEASE CANCEL YOUR PET’s APPOINTMENT.
