I've been bringing my dogs here for 25 years or more and Dr. Schwartz and his staff have been amazing people to work with. My dogs have always loved coming here but that could be because of the cats that live here. Read Less

Appts allow me to bring my pet in and get treated immediately. Dr Schwartz has been invaluable in treating our 3 cats and 3 dogs through some very, very serious surgery, etc. When a specialist was indicated, he sent us to MSU. In addition to being seen quickly, I can buy food and treats. No waiting around to be seen. Very, very good clinic!! Read Less

I have been a patient of Dr. Schwartz for over 5 years. I recently took my dog for his yearly teeth cleaning. Upon picking him up I slipped on the front steps and fell down them. My dog flew out of my arms into the bushes. I gathered him up and crawled up the steps on my knees back to the front door. When I opened it I yelled that I needed help. The receptionist and Dr Schwartz came out of the back. I was very shaken and asked the dr to be sure my dog was ok since he had been thrown out of my arms and into the bushes. I sat for a few minutes and gained my composure. They offered me to go out their back door instead of back down the front steps. Every other time my dog has had a procedure I get a phone call the next morning checking on his condition. No call came asking about him or me. As the day went on I got madder that they had not bothered to call and check on my dog and me. I called the office at 4 pm to see if I could cancel my insurance that I paid the day before for the upcoming year and was told it was too late they had already submitted it. When I asked why they hadn't called I was told they were "just to busy to call but had planned on doing it". (The office would be closing soon for the day) when I told the receptionist this was unacceptable and I was going to call my credit card company since I was considering leaving the practice. I was put on hold for over 5 minutes. When she came back on the line I was told they would send me a check. The next day I called to ask to have my dogs records transferred to another vet and explained that I was disappointed with their lack of compassion not only for me but for my dog and that was why I was leaving the practice. The next day I received a check from them in an envelope with no note. I have left this practice and as stated am very l disappointed by the lack of compassion and concern I and my dog received with this incident. In the meantime I have a huge bruise and lump on my back as well as a very stiff neck. I do not feel comfortable having my dog treated by a practice that would handle a situation like this so poorly. I would not recommend this practice to anyone! Read Less

We brought our 16 yr old beloved cat, Paws, to Downtown Birmingham Vets to see Dr. Schwartz because she wouldn't eat and was freaked out. It was her thyroid. He said he could do surgery but gave her only a 20% chance. I asked what he would do if she was his cat? He thought about it and said he would have the surgery done. We did, and she bounced back. Over 4 yrs later it happened again, and nothing could be done. But he gave us over 4 more years with our friend, and I will never forget that. Since then he's given great care to all our quadraped family members. Read Less

These guys are great! IMHO they do a better job than the vet on Woodward and Big Beaver. My pets are always at ease when I come here and the vets and staff are quick and do a great job. Highly recommended. Read Less

Take $200 and give it to a charity. I brought in my sick cat, to find him still sick the next day. I told her my kitty had a horrible cough. The vet did not listen to his chest, did not take him temp. (which was high) nor did she do blood work- which we would have happily agreed to once she heard the congestion in his chest and the high temp. She shot him with a vitamin and pumped some water in him, and sent us on our way. Not much to be said about her bedside manner, either. Glad we found a great vet in Clawson. Read Less

We've been taking our animals here for the last 15 years. Initially, we lived one mile away; however, we continued going here after we moved to Pleasant Ridge and even a few times after we moved out of state. They are pretty flexible on appointment scheduling, and are super reasonably priced. Drs Schwartz and Heinold are always caring and compassionate with the pets, and are reasonable about treatment options. The office staff here is also friendly and super helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to any pet owner! Read Less
