I am really appreciative of the care, attention and empathy shown by Dr Sonya. My dog was having a rough week and he received excellent care. His case was discussed with me in detail and all of my questions were answered. The proposed treatment plan and reasons for the approach were explained thoroughly and I really felt confident in the doctors expertise. It made an impression on me that we were treated so well. I also found it refreshing that costs were broken down for me and I felt that everything done was necessary. Unfortunately I have a had a hard time finding places that don’t overcharge or upsell additional procedures. In future I will take the time to drive out here to a place I know will take excellent care of my dog and value me as a client.

these people have lost sight of what the true purpose is. It’s a shame you because can still make money and have a heart at the same time. Cindy my kitten of about 8 weeks started acting very clingy and then lethargic. I brought her to the vet when she could not walk in a straight line. first I came in and they acted like I was interrupting them or I was crazy. They were sassy, sarcastic, and reminded me of highschoolers. After waiting for almost 1.5 hours, they called us in one of the patient rooms. We waited another 45 minutes. Then the nurse assistant comes in takes my report. Takes my poor baby Cindy. A few moments later, I can hear the most agonizing screams I’ve ever heard from a cat. I know it was her. It broke my heart. I wait another 45 minutes so we’re at a total of three hours now. The doctor comes in and spills about the next step would be seven to $8000 in bloodwork and examinations diagnostic fees, essentially just like the car dealer. as soon as I said “I don’t have any more money to pay..I gave the last $220 for this initial diagnostic “ she changed her tune very quickly. Let me back up, when she entered the room, she said “ what’s wrong with her. I can’t even tell. Can you describe her problems?” I said she can’t walk. She’s not eating anymore. She can’t control using the restroom she’s unresponsive she hasn’t moved etc. I was astonished. After they realized I wasn’t gonna pay big bucks from being a Lafayette resident although I am they shut down and essentially did not even take her vitals. The best part was she’s a 3 pound kitten and they told me they weren’t able to hold her down to take her vitals? I said I heard her screaming. What do you mean you couldn’t hold her down? She’s 2 pounds. She’s a eight week old kitten. What do you mean? I just paid $200. They played down and said they didn’t know what I was talking about. I was so disgusted. I’m still disgusted. They didn’t ask me anything. Like did she have her shots? Has her stomach been extended which means she has a worm in her gut which is apparently common, they didn’t ask me anything just took my money and then told me it was gonna be more. I’m so disgusted and tears stream while writing this. she was the most beautiful little kitten. Cindy. I don’t have kids so she was the center of my attention. She wandered or was left by her mother, and I found her on my doorstep. We were best friends from the get-go. Cindy was so smart. i’ve had several cats, one calico that was 22 1/2 years old when she passed away . Cindy was different. She was a different gal anyway it breaks my heart and they offered me no help. Just took my money and told me it’s gonna be more. The place is disgusting bunch of high school brats. no respect. when I put Cindy in the car, she couldn’t even get out of the box that they released her in. I was shocked that they told me they couldn’t duplicate the concerns I had for her yet she literally was too uncoordinated and too sick to maneuver out of a box anyway, I would think twice about going to this location. They truly have lost sight of what being an animal doctor is about. It is owned by the employees from what I understand so that is unfortunately the wrong incentive to make money. she was put down by the county because I didn’t have the money to continue any inspections or diagnostics. That breaks my heart, and I cry all the time. She was such a doll.

This vet clinic is amazing. All the staff was genuinely so helpful, kind, caring - amazing customer service. They thoroughly explained everything to me. My outdoor female cat got injured in a bad cat fight. huge gash on her face, infected swollen ect. she was in a lot of pain. I think the price is more reasonable than other vets i’ve been to in the area. Dr. Anna I believe her name is she was great. Very knowledgeable and can tell she loves the work she does. I highly recommend this place we went at 9pm ish and the service was just exceptional, my pet and I have never been treated so well at clinics. Also more affordable exam costs compared to other emergencies near by. Their knowledge and clear communication skills relieved my stress.

I just brought my 17 year old dog with ivdd and a uti. He hadn't peed all day and I needed help. I got there and was greeted with such compassion. Even though my dog ended up peeing all over the front lobby, they were so understanding and the nurse brought me back and taught me how express the urine from my dog. She had a lengthy conversation w me about my dog which I really appreciated. I'm so grateful!

I took my dog Cody here to get oncology care for an aggressive T cell G.I. lymphoma. He was diagnosed in February and given a median range of 3 to 6 months to live and so far, Cody is doing well. He gets the CHOP protocol which is weekly Vincristine x2, then Cytoxan then Doxorubicin plus prednisone taper. Then repeat again. I have found this specialty hospital to be full of kind and caring professionals. As a NP myself I know what good medical care looks like and Cody has always received it. I would definitely recommend this place — especially if your dog has cancer. It does help to have dog insurance like Lemonade, which pays up to 70% of the fees.
