Dickman Road Veterinary Clinic

When you have a separate entrance for dogs and cats, you know the facility Has their stuff together before you even walk in. Friendly front desk, knowledgeable workers. Everyone loves on your animal. The best part: way cheaper than anywhere else we have been.

An invaluable resource for the pet parents of Battle Creek and the surrounding areas. My puppies (and likely, myself) would not be alive without the exceptional care, attention, and support of the entire team at Dickman. I would like to thank Dr. Oliver Parsonage, vet technician Jennifer, and Dawn and Tyler at the desk specifically. I was caught in an emergency, received spectacular care and support, and ended up having to hand-raise an entire litter of five very tiny puppies. I am positive that I would not have been able to help all five survive were it not for the outstanding level of care and patience exhibited by everyone at this clinic. I will forever be grateful to them.

Wonderful people. Great communication and very understanding. Their prices are reasonable, and will try to work within your budget. Specific procedures depending. They took care of my cat and dog, and we all had a good experience

I debated whether or not to post a review but decided I would. About 10 days ago our senior dog had 3 seizures in about a 30 hour span. We quickly realized we were going to have to have her euthanized. I called at 8:05 Friday morning and let the receptionist know what was going on and that we were hoping to have her put to sleep that day. She said she'd speak to the doctor to see what they say. She came back and said the doctor said to go the emergency vet in Kalamazoo. Not that they didn't have any same day appointments available, just to go to Kalamazoo. I really feel like the compassion for this office has gone downhill since Covid, which is sad because we have used Dickman Rd since I was a kid. It just seems like they can't be bothered to do the hard things. Within those 30 hours our dog was a completely different dog. She couldn't settle, she was having balance issues, was struggling to recognize us after her seizures and it was scary. We wanted her to go out with some dignity and had hoped Dickman could help us with that. This isn't the first time in the past few years we have felt let down by this vet clinic. We also probably spent double what we should have had they taken us in that day. We have decided that this office is no longer a good fit for us so we will be taking our business elsewhere from now on.

Been going for a little over 2 years now. Prices are really low compared to other places which is good. They can be a bit slow on occasion, and have posted that they can be 30-60 minutes behind schedule but I've found that the latest I've ever waited was about 20 minutes and that was due to an emergency with an animal so it was entirely understandable. Great with my cat, even though she has vet anxiety and is a little spicy. Would recommend.
