Reviews of Grand Traverse Veterinary Hospital (Veterinarian)

Dr. Alexander is top notch.

My 7 year old dog, Toby, is seen every month by Dr. Jossens for a basic check up and an injection. Toby has been in excellent health since his initial diagnosis. I credit that to Dr. Jossens caring and also educating us. She takes time each month to answer questions and she writes down concerns we might have. The next visit she asks about those concerns and anything new we might have. She treats Toby as an "individual" and senses his mood at each visit. The office staff and technicians are friendly and talk to us and Toby. We have used this practice for over 40 years.

All three veterinarians are extremely seasoned, caring and capable. As a retired veterinarian I feel extremely fortunate to have found this clinic for all my pets from chickens to cats.

My family has been taking our dogs to Grand Traverse Veterinary Hospital for years and they have always been outstanding. The staff and doctors are all so kind and welcoming - they truly care about your pet! Fair pricing and great service, all centrally located in TC. Your furry friends will thank you!

I've taken 4 dogs through the years (over 20) to this hospital. Always have received "over and beyond" care. Currently see Dr. Marianne Jossens who is a very loving, knowledgeable, excellent care-giver!!

I have been taking my dogs to GTVH and seeing Dr. Burke and his associates for 20 years. The care my dogs receive from Dr. Burke and Dr. Jossens is excellent. I have had a couple after hours emergencies for my dogs and Dr. Burke met me at the office without hesitation. I like the way the Vets listen to me and work with me for the best care of my dogs. They are good people.

Talk about a friendly and caring staff. Not only did they pay attention to how long of a drive I had, but everything was explained to me on how things would be done. At this point I don't care that its a long drive. They were more willing to talk about the care of my dog. I've had several vets turn me down due to the kind of injury my dog has. So if you are looking for a vet, this is the perfect place to go. Clean, caring and helpful people. It can not get any better then this. Thank you.

Our veterinarian since moving to Traverse City in 2003 has been Dr. Marianne Jossens, a truly special and dedicated professional. Dr. Alexander and Dr. Kaczinski have also cared for our dogs on occasion and both are excellent. The staff is also very caring and personable.

My cat was very sick when I took her to GTVH. They accessed her needs immediately and she is now on her way to a full recovery! I feel very comfortable and confident with the care and service they provide. Thank you GTVH!

After using Grand Traverse Veterinary Hospital for many years with good results, I had an issue with their service and will never use them again, and I will be sure that no pet owner I know will see them either. The main problem I have with GTVH is that they have no interest in the health and well being of your pet or your satisfaction as a client. Around 5:30 PM on a Friday night in June several years ago, my dog started to vomit blood. Like any sensible pet owner, I called the vet, which was GTVH. Being after hours on a , their voicemail directed me to the on-call emergency vet (who was not a GTVH vet). This is pretty standard, so I called the number they gave; no one picked up. I tried the number for another 20 minutes, but still nobody answered. In the mean time, my dog had collapsed and was still vomiting blood. Not knowing what else to do in the situation, I tried Dr. Burke's home number. His wife answered and I told her what was happening and that I needed Dr. Burke's help. She screamed at me that she wasn't her husband's receptionist and that I had no business calling the doctor at home. I pleaded for help, but she hung up on me. I tried to reach the on-call doc but there was still no answer. I started to call every veterinary office in the area; nobody answered at any of them, although this was unsurprising. I called my neighbors to see if they knew anyone that could help and I was finally given the phone number of a farm vet in Suttons Bay (I lived on Old Mission). She agreed to meet me at her office, and said it was no trouble to help an animal in need. I finally managed to find a vet who would see me, but it was 8:30 before I managed to get any medical help for my poor dog while he was bleeding out. When I finally arrived at the vet's office in Suttons, there was nothing the vet could do; we had to put the dog to sleep to end his suffering. She told me that if I had seen a vet sooner he might have been saved and make a full recovery, but that didn't matter one iota to Dr. Burke and his staff, despite their pledge to provide the best personal care to all their patients. Never go there, you will just be ignored when you need help.

Carol Ross

I've been a client of Grand Traverse Veterinary since the mid-1980's. Over the years the service has been professional and compassionate. I could tell stories about Murphy, Gracie, Teddy, Willie, Jezebel and now Oreo, but it would take up too much space. What I can, currently, comment on is how much I admire and appreciate Dr. Mary Ann Jossens' compassionate and professional care of my "kids." In fairness, I specifically schedule appointments with her and have not worked with the other doctors since the business transitioned ownership, but the team at GTV is a great one and I have recommended them to my many friends without hesitation!

Kristin Lautner

I absolutely love Dr. Marianne Jossens. We have seen many vets over our years here in Traverse City, but Dr. Jossens is by far the best. Always attentive, caring, professional, and always great advice. No matter what the issue is, good or bad, she always gives us options for treatment. We can't thank her enough for caring about our pets, as she would care for her own. Thank you Dr. Jossens!

Nikki Sobkowski

We've taken our dogs to Dr. Jossens since 2005. Her care and compassion are outstanding. And the staff is excellent as well.

Tammy Johnson

Dr. Alexander performed emergency surgery on our English Cream Doodle this week and we couldn't have been any happier with how things went. Dr. A is very thorough and forthright. She will tell you exactly what to expect...the good and the bad. The entire staff is friendly and caring and the prices seem very fair. Highly recommend!

Wendy Ulrich

Excellent team! Compassionate and practical. I learn more and more about how to better care for my pets with each visit. Dr. Jossens is patient and caring. I am thankful to have her as our veterinarian.

Judy Ellis

I have been taking my dogs to the Grand Traverse Veterinary Hospital for years. Why? I have 100% confidence in the skills and care given by Dr. Jossens. I always recommend this practice to all of my friends that have pets.

Barb Vinocur

Everytime we have taken our dogs here we have been very pleased with the staff's genuine fondness for them, the excellent health care they are given and the friendly atmosphere. Even our dogs like to go! I think GT Veterinary Hospital is great!
