Briarpointe Veterinary Clinic

This is seriously the best veterinary clinic around and the only one I’ll go to! We take our 3 cats, 6 rescue kittens and mama kitty, and 1 dog here. We’ve taken our other pets who have since passed away here in the past as well. They are so wonderful and caring! Whenever I call they instantly know who we are! Dr. Parker is amazing with my cats and loves them all so much, especially my one eyed cat! He is the most compassionate and caring vet I’ve ever met and I make it a point to only see him! The others who work there are just as kind, even going so far as to leave my cat’s prescription hanging on the back door outside when I couldn’t make it in time to get it before they closed! I don’t know why anyone said Dr. Parker and everyone else who works there are only concerned with money and have an unclean facility, because it’s completely just not true at all! I’ve never been pressured into any procedures before and always been given every option possible and time to decide, and it’s always perfectly clean! I’m so lucky to have a place like this less than 10 minutes from my house!

Dr. Parker and his staff are like family. This is my second dog that the Briarpointe Veterinary Clinic has cared for and I’m lucky to have found such a great animal-​loving staff. Two years ago I brought in my puppy who was deathly ill. I had just purchased him from a «foster» and when I asked the foster for proof that my puppy had received all his shots, the woman stopped returning my calls. Dr. Parker did everything in his power to bring a listless 9-​week old back to life. With his experience and care, my puppy survived and I couldn’t be more happy that my now 2−½ yr old is a healthy 78lb husky/​lab mix!

My visit here recently was terrible. Dr. Parker didn’t say ANYTHING to my dog during the exam and shots. He had a total attitude because I chose not to give him a certain procedure. His true colors came out loud and clear today. I feel that he is only about money and unnecessary testing. I would NEVER recommend this vet to ANYBODY! My advice to you is find a vet who really cares.

I would never recommend this vet to anyone. Office is unclean, and disorganized. On multiple occasions I was given incorrect advise regarding my cat’s care and was encouraged to spend money on unnecessary testing. When I spoke with an internal medicine vet specialist, I was told that the medications prescribed as well as the testing suggested should not have been done. Additionally, the medication prescribed to my cat only caused her stomach issues to actually become worse. Very disappointed, and will be discontinuing vet care at this office.

I have followed Dr. Parker for over 16 years now. When I had to have my 15 year old golden put down last July he was nothing but kind and understanding. Called me at home numerous times after hours in response to my tear soaked messages. Jude was so kind and compassionate during that difficult time as well. So I have to give a shout out to her.
Even though I have the Berkley vet at the end of my block I still make the drive out to Novi. I wish my own doctor was so dedicated and patient as Parker. (as he is affectionately know in our household).
I honestly look forward to going and seeing everyone for the well pet visits and annual vaccinations.
Wonderful people, great service, and fair prices.

tl;dr: Best vet we’ve ever had. Highly recommended!
Longer version: My family moved here in 2000 from overseas with our older cat. They treated her for over a decade, taking terrific care with her — compassionate, professional, and friendly. When her time came, they were kind, and even sent a condolence card signed by the entire staff. That was really sweet, and my whole family appreciated it.
Fast-​forward to present day: I’m in town for Christmas at the moment (I’m an adult now and live in a different state), and my present cat had a terrible time making the 10-​hour drive here — screaming and hyperventilating for a good five hours. I was desperate to figure out a way to make the ride back less stressful for all involved. I called Briarpointe to see if they could help, and they said they’d be happy to fill a prescription faxed from my local vet. So I didn’t have to shell out for an appointment just to get some cat-​calming pills — I really appreciate that.
Briarpointe are good people. Special shout-​out to Jude, who treated our older cat with such compassion and care, even though our old cat was a real PITA during vet visits. Also Dr. Parker is a terrific vet — truly loves animals, and has a real way with them. I only wish I had something like Briarpointe where I live now. I really can’t say enough good things about Briarpointe.

Dr. Parker is an excellent vet! My very standoffish dog loves him and he always has her best interests at heart. Couldn’t ask for a better vet! The staff is excellent and efficient and love every pet that walks in. Highly recommend them!
