What recent reviews say

Staff create a calm, welcoming experience that puts owners and nervous pets at ease. Veterinarians explain treatment options clearly without pressure, walk through costs upfront, and genuinely invest in pet outcomes. Extended hours mean urgent same-day appointments are possible. One reviewer flagged a major discrepancy between a phone estimate for tooth extraction (600-1000 dollars) and the in-office quote (2300-4200 dollars), raising concerns about pricing transparency.

Care spans wellness, surgery, dental work, and emergency visits. Named staff like Dr. Sylvia Berns, Dr. Parker, and Kortnee appear repeatedly in positive reviews. Reviewers consistently note affordable pricing relative to expectations, though the outlier complaint suggests dental procedures warrant a careful cost discussion before committing to work.

Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

4.6(788)✓ Verified

Lakewood Vet earns strong praise for attentive staff and thorough care across routine and surgical work. Most reviewers report that vets and technicians treat pets with genuine warmth and follow up days after visits. However, recent renovation disruptions have triggered appointment chaos, and two serious complaints highlight problems with emergency responsiveness and post-visit accountability when pets have adverse reactions. The hospital has operated since 1969 and lists comprehensive services from wellness to emergency care. Named vets like Dr. Arcuri and Dr. Andrew draw specific compliments for bedside manner, though one reviewer criticized Arcuri's diagnosis approach. Staff have been praised for knowing how to handle anxious and rambunctious animals, and for issuing travel health certificates without fuss.
