These folks start out caring, but their only interest is to sell you an MRI. If you don't purchase, they turn cold and very uncaring -- and simply state...can't help you without the diagnostics. There are many other Neurology Vets out there that will work with you and offer hope. Many different reasons for problems -- not always a death sentence. Do not go to these folks -- wasted $1,300 on very disrespectful staff.
I was referred to Animal Neurology to evaluate my dog, who was having difficulty with stairs and weakness in his limbs. Dr. Wolf gave him a thorough evaluation and recommended an MRI to determine if the cervical area of the spine was involved. The staff put down a soft bed and comforter in the treatment room and let my timid dog rest comfortably with me for two hours while we waited for the MRI to be freed up. The tech checked on us regularly and even brought me bottled water! While I have been to other good veterinary specialists in the Detroit area in the past for my dogs, the staff here went above and beyond. Dr. Wolf updated me regularly as the MRI was progressing. While we did not receive good news, I feel it was money well spent and I very much appreciate their bedside manner.
If you love your dog, Do not ever take your beloved animal to this place. I was sent here by my Vet because we thought my dog Winchester had a type of seizure. On my first visit the Vet we saw was kind and caring. He examined my dog and made some recommendations. We weren't sure what was going on but an MRI or steroids were suggested. We followed up with our regular vet. As things progressed my dog was having problems walking and x-rays seems to show that there was a problem with his cruciate ligament. My dog was getting worst. We traveled to Toronto because we heard of a women who specializes in making braces to help dogs walk. We found out after seeing this therapist that this wasn't going to help my dog. he was getting weaker and much worst. We went back to the Animal Neurology and MRI Center after seeing the therapist in Toronto. This time we saw Dr. Wolf who is the owner. He had a very poor bedside manor, as he was evaluating my dog walking, apparently my dog wasn't walking fast enough for Dr. Wolf, and Dr. Wolf literally pushed my dog so hard he fell to the floor on his side. This was a dog who could barely even stand let alone walk. I was horrified. I swear I wanted to rip this man's eyes out, but being in shock I contained myself. We found out later that evening from our regular Vet, that Winchester had hemangiosarcoma, He died one week later. We did take Winchester to Michigan State University to see if there was anything at all that could be done. I was to distraught to do anything at the time, but a few weeks later I contacted the Animal Neurology & MRI Center to complain. At that time I did not know that Dr. Wolf was the owner. When I complained I spoke to a very rude woman who accused me of making this story up and that Dr. Wolf was a compassionate and animal loving man. When what can I expect when the man I am complaining about is the owner. I don't want anyone else to experience such cold and unprofessional behavior from a so called compassionate man. I told my regular Vet about what had happened and he told me that he has heard other stories about this man and his cold nature. Do yourself a favor and Go to Oakland Veterinary Referral Services, or Michigan State University, where they care about the life of your beloved animal.
