They always give the best possible care to all of us, furry or human. I have been seeing them since shortly after they opened and i could not be happier with my choice.

I would highly recommend OACC if you are looking for a new Vet. hosp.Carolyn L.Carolyn L. ★★★★★ Awesome place. Understanding people work there.Nancy P.Nancy P. ★★★★★ My little furbaby had a very bad ear infection this weekend and when I couldn't get into the vet I usually go to (until next wed.) I call Orion. They were able to get my baby in right away. They are awesome! He was in so much pain, but after they took care of him, he started to perk up and now the next day even though you can tell he in not 100% he is running around and playing again. Praise the Lord. 😁 update to this as again, all I seem to be able to get my little guy into was emergency, they brought him in, in an hour. Even though they are farther from my home, I am not using anyone else from now on.Jane W.Jane W. ★★★★★ First time visiting, and they were amazing with my older dog and so thorough!!!Kzoo T.Kzoo T. ★★★★★ Dr. McPherson was very friendly and caring with my cat, Newton.

They all take the time to explain diagnoses, treatments, and medications. Highly recommend bringing your pets here!!Ashley G.Ashley G. ★★★★★ Staff is very kind and helpful!Emma F.Emma F. ★★★★★ The team at Orion Animal Care Center was fantastic. From arrival to quick placement in an exam room my dog was a bit excited but soon settled in. A quick laser removal of a lesion was of no problem to Kane, my 91 pound Pit Bill mix. He never even favored it and acted like nothing happened. Shout out to Brianna our Dr/Vet for such a great experience.Gary T.Gary T. ★★★★★ I've taken my dog to this clinic for several years and we have always had immensely kind providers. Scheduling available online makes it incredibly easy, and I've been able to get same or next-day appointments for emergencies on multiple occasions. Our appointments are never rushed, and we're always seen on time and have reasonably quick appointments. I've actually moved further away from this clinic but will continue to make the drive out to see them, because they've always been so great for our family.Jordan W.Jordan W. ★★★★★ What an amazing experience! My dog wasn't feeling too well; I tried to get him into his own vet but could not. Since I live nearby and drive by your place every day I thought I'd try to get an appointment for Monday (as it was Saturday) not expecting to get an appointment the same day! The staff and doctor were top notch and addressed all my concerns for my pet. I will probably be switching to you for all my pets needs in the future!JACKIE M.JACKIE M. ★★★★★ I had a concern with one of our cats overnight. I called just after 8AM and they gave me an appointment right away. Our baby girl might have a minor irritation, probably not even an infection. She is doing well, and we got back home before 10AM. It is a 20 minutes drive to the hospital each way! Doctor Brown and the staff were wonderful. Thank you!Jacques B.Jacques B. ★★★★★ My dogs do not dislike going to the vet!John L.John L. ★★★★★ It was an awesome experience in a very stressful time the staff made me and my puppy feel welcome safe and happy with the experience I'll be back if I ever need anything else and the techs and staff performed services according to what I could afford and totalled each service before proceeding to make sure it was within budget which was just a blessing thank you allSteve M.Steve M. ★★★★★ I highly recommend Orion Animal Care Center if you need TPLO surgery for your dog. Dr. Francinni and Tori are the best. The entire staff is friendly and professional.Will H.Will H. ★★★★★ Orion Animal Care Center is wonderful, and caring, with excellent veterinarians. They have diagnosed very difficult cases for me and helped me with losinganimals. I can't recommend them enough!Dianna S.Dianna S. ★★★★★ Dr. Brown and the other Veterinarians and Staff at Orion Animal Care Center have all provided excellent care for our beloved dog, including routine care, dental, minor surgery, and sickness. We greatly appreciate this veterinary clinic! Dave and Sue MickSF MSF M ★★★★★ The doctors and staff truely cares about my pet!Sarah C.Sarah C. ★★★★★ Great caring staff.S D.S D. ★★★★★ Dr. Franchini and her team are pretty amazing.

I trust Dr. Franchini and her staff and truly appreciate the welcoming, fur-baby-loving environment. ⭐️Adrian S.Adrian S. ★★★★★ We are newer to this area, and it is so hard to find a good vet. I can honestly say that every single person I have dealt with at Orion Animal Care Center is amazing. My dogs are not the easiest to deal with, and they are understanding and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone.MadisonMadison ★★★★★ Amazing clinic. The vests truly care and are so supportive through the your pups life. I recently switched to this vet and I’m so happy I did. Great staff! Don’t waste your money anywhere else!jenna S.jenna S. ★★★★★ Caring compassionate staff highly recommendBarb S.Barb S. ★★★★★ This is the vet staff you want seeing all of your animals. I have so much anxiety about my cat's medical needs, but this team is so warm and wonderful.Been coming here for a few years. We've gotten the worst of the worst of news, but they handle everything with such grace. We've had a euthanasia here, and although it was one of the worst days of my life, they all made it the best they could for us.We've probably seen almost every member of their staff, each are 5 stars 🌟Foxtail T.Foxtail T. ★★★★★ Always great experience. Very caring. Our Roxy girl loves this place.Keith C.Keith C. ★★★★★ This facility is spacious, clean and well staffed. We were seen promptly and our pets needs and conditions were thoroughly explained to us.James S.James S. ★★★★★ Incredible staff. Got me in same day, and were able to work with my highly anxious animal who was very poorly behaved. Every experience here has been incredible.Edward B.Edward B. ★★★★★ We are new to the area and looking for a new vet for our fur babies. I was happy to find Orion Animal Care for my bunny, especially since they are one of the few who take exotic animals. The staff was friendly and greeted me upon arrival. I got right into an exam room, and the vet tech came in to start our appointment. She was very kind and loving toward my bunny. We waited about ten minutes for the vet to come in. She was also wonderful with my bunny. They worked well as a team to examine him and give him a nail trim. The vet was knowledgeable of rabbits, and she listened well to concerns and understood his health history. The facility was very clean and well decorated. It did not smell like animals as most vet offices do. I feel comfortable knowing that we can come here for our veterinary needs.Rachel C.Rachel C. ★★★★★ Very efficient, clean, friendly and made us feel safe, secure and confident.Wendy S.Wendy S. ★★★★★ I can not say enough great things about OACC! Their staff is absolutely amazing from the moment you're greeted at the front desk, to the technicians and all of their doctors! We've grown to truly love the staff like family and are grateful for all of the care given to our dogs over the years! Dr. Brown was the only one who was able to figure out what was wrong with our littlest pup, and she saved her life! Dr. Franchini was by our sides as our sweetest old girl aged and eventually crossed the rainbow bridge. Dr McPherson provided amazing support when we came in with a neglected/abused rescue dog that fell into our hands unexpectedly. Every staff member has gone above and beyond to provide not only our fur babies with love, support, patience, and care, they too have provided me and family with that same love and support. I can not sing their praises enough and can not recommend them enough. Thank you, OACC staff, for all you have done and continue to do! Our little pack appreciates you all so very much! Be proud of the work you di and the lives you've touched.RalyGrlRalyGrl ★★★★★ The staff and doctors are always so friendly and thorough and you can tell they really love their patients 😊Kathy S.Kathy S. ★★★★★ One of our dogs convulses when entering a vet or grooming lobby. Dr Brown kindly comes outside to our car to give injections or to obtain blood samples. Both our Brittany and our Cavalier have been professionally and lovingly cared for by Dr Brown and the wonderful staff at OrionAnimal Care CenterJay P.Jay P. ★★★★★ My 9 year old car started to have aggressive behavior out of no where. She’s never been to a vet since she was a kitten and they got me in same day which I was so thankful as a new cat patient there. The entire staff I met that day was very friendly and personable. I will definitely be using them for my vet needs and recommending this place to friends and family. Thank you.Katrina P.Katrina P. ★★★★★ The great advantage of the Orion Animal Care Center is that you do not have to wait long for an appointment and everyone will be welcomed here with their pets by polite and professional staff.Adam S.Adam S. ★★★★★ Our first time at this vet and we are extremely pleased with the service we got. They were very a ton of and listened to our concerns for our dog who is having seizures. Feel like we got the best care we could have for him and a piece of mind for us because they listened and were empathetic. We will definitely bring our dogs back to them for other needs.Melissa R.Melissa R. ★★★★★ Staff was super friendly, and Dr. Brown was so helpful and knowledgeable truly a great facility and humans!John N.John N. ★★★★★ This isn’t my first review of OACC but I just can’t say enough good things about this place. We’ve had dog/dogs for years and thought we had been thru just about everything we could with them—well, we had something new this week and I took our border collie in and Dr. F was all over it! As per usual, she explained what was going on with our pup, how it most likely happened, what to expect next, and how to best care for her. Dr. F is phenomenal! You won’t find a better veterinarian anywhere.Scott L.Scott L. ★★★★★ Great pet care and very helpful with personal calls with the doctors to set your mind at ease.Tammy pedri J.Tammy pedri J. ★★★★★ They always treat me and my dog with quality care and respect. Even when getting so many vaccination shots or is hurt, she is always anxious to get in the door.Scott D.Scott D. ★★★★★ Always a smooth visit beginning to end. Clean and modern building. Friendly staff. Open 6 days a week so if you work Monday thru Friday as I do, you can still go in on a Saturday 8:00 am-2:00 pmKelly C.Kelly C. ★★★★★ I can't say enough good things. We were a new patient with an emergency (limping dog) and they fit us in. Super clean, fantastic and friendly staff. Kind vet.

Thank you! our dog is feeling so much better.Lori A.Lori A. ★★★★★ My son went along and the first time and the first thing he says….”is this a real pet doctor… it smells good in here.” I love the design. Staff are always so professional. Even my feisty chihuahua would agree.Etoyia H.Etoyia H. ★★★★★ I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Brown! She is an incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and thorough veterinarian who truly cares about her patients. When my standard poodle Wills, started losing his hair in patches, I was worried and confused. Dr. Brown immediately went into detective mode, carefully diagnosing the issue as a thyroid problem. Thanks to her persistence and expertise, Wills got on the right medication, and his hair grew back beautifully! He became his happy, fun-loving self, and I am so grateful to Dr. Brown for her dedication and care for Wills and Oliver.Even though Dr. Brown is no longer in my neighborhood, I am more than willing to make the 40-minute drive just to see her and have been doing so for the last few years. She is absolutely worth it, and I trust her completely with my dogs health. If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable vet who goes above and beyond for your pets, I highly recommend Dr. Brown. She's truly amazing!Wendy G.Wendy G. ★★★★★ I take my Labrador Retriever service dog to Orion Animal Care Center because they do a excellent job and they are very thorough and I never have a problem getting him in and I had a English labrador retriever service dog that was only 8 years old and another vet didn't treat him right and had to put him down Dr Brown was very very gracious and helped us put him over the rainbow his name was RaiderHollywood R.Hollywood R. ★★★★★ Everyone that works here is so friendly.

I moved to Rochester and will continue to drive to Orion Animal for all my pets needs.Heather S.Heather S. ★★★★★ I am absolutely heartbroken after the loss of my fur baby, but the staff, especially the doctor, were amazing. Their kindness and guidance in making a very difficult decision is very much appreciated and helped make the heartbreaking experience as comfortable as possible for all of us and to have the ability to be with him through the very end.Shannon S.Shannon S. ★★★★★ Clearly love animals and their app with communications during a procedure for our animal was amazing!!Brenda C.Brenda C. ★★★★★ The office and Dr. Brown are wonderful! I am happy to have found this practice, as I trust they do what is necessary and not require services that are not necessary.TraceyTracey ★★★★★ The. Best. Veterinary. Ever!!! They always find the best availability for you. There is a parking lot. Super friendly staff. Extremely clean building. Each room is fully equipped, including computers. So professional.

During our last appointment, they gave us halloween treat bags!!!CynthiaCynthia ★★★★★ I love this place and so does my dog, they really care about your pet and you , not like some places that treat you like a number in a line. Love how they treat my dog especially 🥰I love these guys!!!!!Karen W.Karen W. ★★★★★ Appoint started on time, Tech and Dr. were concise, very professional and to-the-point in their discussions as well as being very“welcoming” (for lack of a better term) to the clinic. Great place.Mike K.Mike K. ★★★★★ All of the staff was super smiley, very good energy and super friendly people and I came in early ahah. My hedgehog was sick one morning so I had to take her somewhere, and this doctor has worked with other hedgehogs so I decided to come here 🙂 The Doctor and the Technician both made me feel good on my first vet visit with my hedgehog and took care of her very gently. I was nervous going in for the first time, but I left happy and confident with the services and knowledge I received. I also got her nails trimmed and my hedgie now is feeling / looking much better 24hrs after her visit! 🦔 🙂Andrew H.Andrew H. ★★★★★ Excellent service and always are highly concerned for the animals well being.jimjim ★★★★★ New, clean, helpful, friendless and concernedSue W.Sue W. ★★★★★ When I tell you, these ladies are angels. I took my dog Mijo here due to having bad experiences elsewhere. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a dog “rizz” ladies, but he was soaking up all the attention! The nurses and vets were informal and well versed in options for him. They know what they’re doing. They were so sweet and attentive to him. Thankfully, The wait time was never long and they always answered our calls.Unfortunately, in short time bringing him there, we lost Mijo to epilepsy. It was traumatizing nonetheless. Not only did these ladies help me in that hard time but they also offered aftercare services. Pet Passages may partner with them and are in close proximity. I will be leaving a review with them, as I couldn’t have done this with out any of you. They were considerate, professional and I couldn’t have asked for better doctors. Im honored you all got to meet Mijo and treat him with love. You are all in the right profession and I hope all clients reciprocate the same respect. Thank you again. Thank you. Thank you for taking care of my sweet boy. 🖤Mikayla W.Mikayla W. ★★★★★ An awesome place to take my pets both when they are sick and when they are well for shots and check ups The staff is friendly and the Dr.'s are awesome and always take a lot of time listening to the issues. Very competitive pricing as well.Mark C.Mark C. ★★★★★ If anyone is looking for a vet in the Oxford/Lake Orion area I highly suggest the Orion Animal Care Center. Our regular vet was closed on Tuesday when our cat Sulley started to quickly decline. They were the only vet that was willing to see us being a new patient and immediately diagnosed Sulley then stayed late preforming his surgery. The staff was so incredible providing emotional support, in depth explanations on his care & genuine compassion to our family until Sulley’s last moments. We couldn’t be more grateful to them.Alyssa C.Alyssa C. ★★★★★ I love this place. The entire staff is just excellent and I always feel good about coming here. Has to be hands down the best place to bring your dog in Michigan.Michael K.Michael K. ★★★★★ Professional and personalized care for our senior dog. Appointments are easy to schedule and on-time . Knowledgeable and helpful staff.Dee D.Dee D. ★★★★★ Staff was helpful and friendly.Sherry C.Sherry C. ★★★★★ Real friendly staff and the doctor and her assistant where great!!!Rich F.Rich F.js_loader

The staff and doctor were all great. They took good care of our puppy! We would definitely recommend to a friend.

Veronica G.

I always feel better that my babies are getting the best care after they are looked at from these doctors.

Denise D.

Mayde Creek Animal Center was just amazing. It was my first time admitting Daisy whom needed surgery near her paw due to her nail, and Dr. Green as well as the Vet Tech were quick and fixed the problem. They definitely treated Daisy as if she was their dog. Daisy is now all happy running around the backyard as I write this. Thank you Dr. Greene and all the caring Associates!

Kate N.

Dr. Williams and his staff at Mayde Creek Animial Heath Center are all wonderful. They were all so friendly and explained everything in detail as to how they were going treat my dog’s dental issues. They called the following day to check on her. The prices are reasonable and the service was great.

Mary N.

Friendly staff and nice service. I’m very picky where I take my dog because I used to work at a vet myself, but Mayde Creek exceeded my standards by treating my dog very good.

Naomi H.

We love Dr. Daniels! She is an amazing person and vet. Couldn’t ask for a better bedside manner. She’s also very knowledgeable and so compassionate. The wellness plan makes pet care more affordable.
