Veterinarians in Battle Creek, MI

“My parents and another friend had recommended my husband and I try out Southside for our new puppy. We had a great first experience! They got us an appointment quickly, we were in and out within 15 minutes, and our bill was about a quarter of what we used to pay at our old vet! Definitely recommend.”

“Jen is my go to Vet. She is caring and always answers all of my questions. She has been treating all of my dogs for the past 3 years and not once have I been disappointed. The only reason I am giving DRVC a 4 star is because their prices have gone up a little but I suppose after 3 years inflation goes up?”

“Have been going to this vet for years. Highly recommended. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Their care for animals is fantastic. And the office is very clean. Thank you.”

“Dr. Ben and the team at Turner Veterinary Clinic have shown nothing but love, compassion, and true professionalism during one of the toughest decisions we had to make. This past Wednesday, Dr. Ben came to our home to help our boy, Rutledge, peacefully cross the rainbow bridge. Rutledge was such a sweet, loving dog who never had to suffer or experience the loss of mobility, dignity, or control. We were all there with him, holding him, petting him, and loving him through his final breaths, and it's a gift we are grateful to have been able to give him.

I can't even put it into words other than that Dr. Ben arrived with the calm and reassuring demeanor of an angel. He was respectful of our space and feelings, guiding us gently through the process without rushing or disrupting our time with Rutledge (even with our 2-year-old granddaughter screaming for attention every few minutes.) His patient expertise and heartfelt care made all the difference, and his warmth in those moments made us feel like we were saying goodbye with a trusted friend by our side and reassured we were doing the right thing.

How Dr. Ben treated Rutledge in his final moments—petting him and softly reminding him that he was a "good boy" while recalling fond memories—was incredibly touching. He knew Rutledge, proving that his soul goes far beyond being a doctor. He even made us smile through our tears as he joked about Rutledge's brother Sammy, tirelessly looking for the ball that fell from Rut's mouth when he passed. It was those small, thoughtful details that made all the difference.

Rutledge spent his last day surrounded by family, all five grown kids on the floor with him, with Starbucks and Snickers, and more love than he knew what to do with. We are forever grateful to Dr. Ben for making Rutledge's final moments peaceful and dignified, and for bringing comfort to our hearts during such a difficult time. Dr. Ben, and everyone at Turner Veterinary Clinic, will always hold a special place in our hearts. You are more than our veterinarians – you are family.”

“This place is the best. I drive 3 hours to take my barrel horses to Dr. Emery he never misses anything. His staff wonderful they are worth every penny I spend there.??? He keeps my 26 year old running strong.”

“I was so impressed every time I went to the vet. Jennifer Tirrell took care of my cats - and even answered questions when I moved out of the country! She is absolutely amazing. She has my highest recommendation as a vet!”

“Took my boy to Lakeview to get his teeth cleaned and all the staff was super friendly, they kept me updated all day about his condition with the anesthesia. The prices are great”

“The only Vet I will ever trust!! All 4 of my dogs have been treated here with many different cases, some severe and life threatening. Dr. Kaspari takes care of all animals like his own.”

“I had a wonderful visit with my hamster - they were very friendly and caring, helped check him and make sure he was doing ok. Very welcoming and thoughtful atmosphere there.”

“I absolutely love this place. They have affordable prices and always, always, always take care of my animals in an emergency. Sometimes they have longer wait times but I'm always happy to wait knowing that they will always make time for my pet when they need it the most.”

“Figured I'd put my 2 cents in since it's a toss up between 5-star reviews and 1-star reviews. My wife and I have been going to DRVC for years now and they've always taken the time to listen to our concerns and recommend multiple options for care in more grey-area situations. They always make me feel welcome and I rely on them to take care of my family...because that's what my pets are. I'd recommend DRVC to anyone. DRVC, however, gets busy because the community recognizes the great job that they do and all take their pets there. They'll do their best to fit you in during emergency situations, but if they can't they'll definitely recommend the next best vet to take care of your pet. If you show up on time, aren't a POS to the clerks, and genuinely care for your pet, DRVC is the clinic for you”
