If you're one of those people to whom your cat is your whole world, this is the place for you! If, however, you have regular bills to pay and other financial responsibilities, start looking elsewhere. This place is outrageously expensive. My cat had been off his food, moody, and lethargic, so I brought him here while his regular vet was recuperating from an illness. He doesn't like the alternate vet at our regular clinic, so I hoped this place would be a good interim vet. I have no doubt that the staff LOVES cats, they are so friendly and helpful, and put my cat right at ease. Unfortunately, the cost of care here will bleed you dry. They ran tons of bloodwork, stool samples, urine samples, etc., which I have no doubt are very helpful in some instances. However, results came back saying that he was a healthy cat- no problems. When his regular vet was back in his office, it didn't take him more than five minutes to discover that my cat had an infected tooth and it needed to be removed. That entire procedure cost less than the bloodwork from KCC. I was surprised that they didn't notice the tooth, or perhaps didn't consider it the source of his problems, but I was not pleased about paying for services I didn't really need. The bloodwork was pitched as a very reliable way to pin down health problems, but it seems in their haste to do this, they overlooked something that was obvious to my kitty's regular vet (this surprised me, as they offer quite the array of cat dental services.) If you choose to go here, don't be afraid to speak up and ask "have you checked my cat's teeth, ears, etc.," before agreeing to pricey bloodwork.
The vets and staff at Kentwood Cat Clinic have all been very kind, professional, and helpful in taking care of our cats. From helping solve behavioral issues (Dr. Sadek is some kind of genius cat whisperer) to just treating the occasional cold, we have had a very positive experience and would highly recommend them to others looking for a quality cat vet in the area.
I only give a Very Good rather than Excellent because we didn't actually get helped with our problem. We brought our kitty in because he was having terrible behavioral problems, and they ran a bunch of tests and had no conclusions for us. They then offered to run the tests again. No thanks! We spent $200 already. Good things: very nice waiting area with a kids playplace and beverages available. Obviously staff is very committed to cats.
My review is on Cat Clinic North as my experience has been primarily there with occasional trips to Kentwood Cat Clinic. I have had nothing but wonderful care from the entire staff of CCN. The few times I was at KCC the care there was just as good. I woke up one morning to find my cat Josie walking with one hip dragging with little use of corresponding leg. They were able to get her in that day to perform tests. Long story short -- she had a ruptured disk in her spine. As an alternative to surgery, Dr. Sadek suggested laser treatments. It has proven to be a wonderful/positive option…much less invasive (and costly) than surgery. I would definitely recommend CCN and KCC to anyone who asks. The staff is very caring and it is clear they care for all of their kitty patients!
I am extremely grateful that my local vet referred my cat, Katie, to Dr. Sadek at the Kentwood Cat Clinic. Katie's health had been declining and when she became very ill, my vet referred her to the Cat Clinic since she needed the level of expertise and diagnostic ability they could provide. Dr. Sadek saw Katie the next morning and after a thorough work-up, she was diagnosed with a chronic illness and given a treatment plan. Initially Katie's care was complicated and I was very impressed with the responsiveness and personal service we received. In response to my many questions, I always received a call back from Dr. Sadek or Dr. Berger or Dr. Simon if they were covering. Each was very willing to listen and able to make recommendations. Currently Katie is in better health than she has been the past few years. It is wonderful to see her active and healthy! From the time we walked in the door, we felt welcomed and cared for. I am confident we will continue to receive the support and expertise needed to manage Katie's care. Thank you to all the caring, competent staff at Kentwood Cat Clinic for making Katie a success story.
