My family has been taking our dogs to Heritage Animal Hospital since our oldest golden retriever (Lucy, 6) was a puppy. She underwent spay surgery here and has annual checkups with Dr. Earl Cornprobst (however when we can't see Dr. Cornprobst, the other vets have been just as great (Dr. Jennings, specifically). I felt moved to write a yelp review after my most recent experience with the Heritage staff when Izzy, our 6 month old golden, was scheduled for a routine spay surgery. This is the first dog I have raised on my own and although Lucy underwent the same procedure years earlier, I couldn't help but feel nervous for the little one. The woman at the front desk was incredibly friendly and kind. The vet tech came out and gave Izzy lots of pets and praise and began to explain the procedure/when I should expect to hear from them/recovery to me.Hours later, I received a call from Heritage. I was told that the spay surgery went smoothly however Dr. Amber Waun felt something in Izzy's intestine and, with my permission, wanted to further explore to ensure there was nothing wrong. I am SO glad Dr. Amber followed her intuition. If it wasn't for her, Izzy would have probably been at Heritage later in the week for having swallowed various pieces from her rope toys, grass, and plant roots which ended up in a large, tangled knot.I am SO thankful for the entire staff at Heritage Animal Hospital. It has been a few days since Izzy's surgery and in addition to her incision healing up nicely, she's back to being the playful, energetic 6 month old puppy she was prior to the operation. The professionalism, knowledge, and passion each employee has is something that is greatly appreciated from a service/consumer standpoint: from the women at the front desk who take care of paperwork - to the individuals in the operating room. You can absolutely tell that each person at Heritage loves what they do (I'm not kidding when I say they love it - I remember the very first time I took Lucy to Heritage, Dr. Cornprobst got on the floor with her and was petting her). Whether it is a routine checkup or a surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend and fully trust Dr. Cornprobst, Dr. Jennings, and Dr. Waun with our little furry ones! Its just an added bonus they're all MSU grads :)! Read Less
