Testimonials

My dog, Thor, has been a patient at Mancelona Veterinary Hospital since he was a puppy. The front desk staff are always friendly when we arrive and usually make a comment about Thor and how well he is doing. He is a lab that gets extra anxious and excitable at the vet, so they always make me feel better when they give a positive comment. The vet assistants and lab techs are also friendly and don’t mind when Thor slobbers all over them as they ask me questions. I appreciate the level of affection the staff has for Thor - the fact that they don’t cringe from the slobber, hair, or whining makes me feel welcome, despite the embarrassment. Finally, Dr. Ackler and Dr. Zoerner are so educated and intuitive they can get right on the floor with Thor and appreciate his happy personality. They are patient as I bombard them with questions. They never seem rushed or annoyed when I am being an overeager and overprotective dog-mom. Overall, everyone makes Thor and I feel welcome and they never hesitate to help out...even when I have the silliest concerns. Thank you!!

With all of the craziness going on in the world today, my current Vet fell through with a scheduled appointment to have my puppy get her vaccinations. Well, Macelona Vet came to my rescue and didn't turn me away when I was frantically looking for a vet to take her. If I didn't live so far away, they would be my number one choice. Thank you to everyone at Mancelona Vet!

I am very grateful for dr. koerner and staff my Lucy was ill and we stopped at their office to see if they could see her instead going all the way to tc hospital.they did not even hesitate!! thank God it was an easy fix! thank you from the the bottom of hearts Lucy's too!!

We have recently expanded our family by adding our sweet little boy Milo, I immediately knew I would be taking him to the Mancelona Vets office because I have never heard a bad thing about them. So far our care has been phenomenal, they go above and beyond for their patients. My family will be going here for a long time to come

We had to take Teddy in for an ear infection and the process was seamless. They came out to the car and took Teddy back for his appointment. The ear infection cleared up quickly and he is back to being the rambunctious one year old we love. We have three dogs and they all have Dr. Ackler as a Vet and we have boarded them there many times. All three of our dogs love everyone that works there!

Dr. Ackler has been our vet for 18 years! Hes always been wonderful with our fur babies. His staff has always shown us the same kindness and care that he does. I am forever grateful knowing our fur babies are loved and care for by such an awesome team!

I have to give a big shout out to each of you for your quick response, personal care, professionalism, and courtesy regarding an emergency situation with our dog Moe. You all were wonderful and we appreciate you so much for seeing Moe on an emergency basis when he managed to impale himself into a large stick in his chest. We are forever grateful to you for taking such good care of him and keeping us updated on his status. Thank You So Much from my husband, myself, and of course Moe.

I thought I broke my cat’s tail shutting it in the door. The staff said they were double booked (everywhere nearby was) but they said to bring him in and they would fit him in. I was only there maybe 15 minutes and they brought him back out saying his tail was not broken. Thank you for making me feel better and getting him in today!!

Our long-time, Little Man, best bud Brach was in for a surgical procedure and I just have to say I'm very impressed with how Dr. Ackler and staff cared for our buddy. To start the staff was very efficient in getting Brach in to be seen, and then helpful in providing an itemized breakdown of cost before procedure, telling us the necessity of the procedures (all the while, respectfully considering our financial position without compromising the health of our dog). Dr. Ackler stayed after hours to treat our buddy, we received a timely courtesy call relaying Brach's post-procedure condition, and brought him home the next day well-adjusted and rested with a clean and sterile surgical site, with post-op care relayed clearly💝. Thank you for loving our boy well! If you are ill at ease and are unsure about providers out there I can say with confidence that your pet will receive great care from Mancelona Vet Clinic.

All around great service and friendly staff! Leo loves going and especially enjoyed his grooming visit today! Thank you for treating my little man with care and love! The only veterinary hospital/grooming experiences he has enjoyed going to! We've been going to Mancelona vet for about a year and boy are we glad we made the switch

We are here from Texas for the summer and have used them for our Basset Hound for shots/flea and tick medicine and I can't say good enough things about the care our Basset received. They are very caring and he has even stayed during the day at their doggie daycare and he did great! I highly recommend Mancelona Veterinary Hospital!

Dr Ackler and the staff was just amazing with taking care of our 13 1/2 yr old dog. She had a huge tumor removed and is doing amazing. We were able to be with her right after the surgery so we could comfort her and keep her calm. I had used this clinic until I moved from the area, but it is so worth the drive now.

Very professional, knowledgeable, efficient and personable staff
