I used to like Wixom Vet, as I am an owner of four rescue dogs. In particular, I enjoyed working with Dr. Jennifer Sordyl, who had consistently examined, vaccinated, and cared for our sick pets throughout the last four years. However, when our 7 year old Malamute, Jennie, was diagnosed with nasal carcinoma in October, 2012, I really felt that Dr. Sordyl dropped the ball. Once the diagnosis was given, and she recommended not performing surgery on Jennie's nose (sinus cavity), as this was an aggressive and fast-moving cancer---she refused to work with us without us committing to work with an oncologist for Jennie's care. Dr. Sordyl knew Jennie well, and had even performed two separate surgeries on her for unrelated diagnosis'. When my husband and I made the difficult decision to treat Jennie with homeopathic remedies (including acupuncture twice weekly) she refused to write a simple prescription for our holistic diet change, stating that she wasn't comfortable working without an oncologist.She did walk us through the option of euthanasia---but even after the diagnosis, she never once called or checked up on Jennie's well-being---even once. I am thinking that the new owners of Wixom Vets have influenced what used to be personable, attentive care for their pets and the owners of these pets. Needless to say, Wixom Vet has lost my patronage. My dogs now use Wilson Vet Services in Romeo, Michigan, a longer drive but a much more caring facility. Read Less
