I wish I could say good things about Mapleview Animal Hospital in Holland, MI but I really can't. Dr. Jim Bader examined my cat. He seemed knowledgeable about his work, however he seemed extremely rushed. It could be his style, but I felt like he did not take the time to explain my cat's condition or my options. He essentially gave my cat a shot of antibiotic and sent us off on our way. I had to ask him myself what the antibiotic shot would do for my cat. I like to know what's going on with my cat so an explanation would have been appreciated. I also would have liked to have known the cost of the antibiotic shot before they administered it and billed me for it. Luckily I had my credit card to cover the costs. I did not have a good experience at Mapleview. I investigated other vets in the area and found the Ottawa Animal Hospital (620 Butternut) and had a completely opposite experience. I was given a cost estimate each step of the way to know how much debt I was getting into and the staff was very patient with me. I would never return to Mapleview. Consider Ottawa Animal Hospital before bringing your pet to Mapleview.
Pros: New building, clean atmosphere
Cons: Uncaring staff, rushed, not patient.
