This place has recently been re-done and the interior is so nice! Does not feel like you are at the vet. Although we just started going here we already love it! Staff is always so friendly and accommodating! I love that they have you in the room with your dog a nurse/doctor so that you can see what's going on and talk about what's happening. I've never had a problem making an appointment or getting scheduled for one. Glad we live so close!
We've had a wonderful experience here with the cat who showed up out of nowhere and decided he'd like us to adopt him We called Lakeside to see if we could bring him in that evening to check if he was chipped. Their staff was great. They got us right in and our tech could not have been more loving with our new baby. There was no chip so he's ours now She immediately ran through his "stray issues" with us as we had never rescued a cat off the streets. She was not pushy at all when she asked if we wanted to proceed with ... read more
We found an abandoned baby mouse, eyes still closed, in our house upon returning from vacation. No wildlife rehabbers were available, so I called Dr. Gonzalez -- and she graciously offered to care for the mouse until a licensed rehabber could accept it. We were so grateful! We've brought our dog to Lakeside Animal Hospital for emergencies as well and been very pleased with his treatment.
Dr. Gonzalez and Bryan are nothing but incredible at what they do. As a pet parent to two guinea pigs, it's extremely important to me that a vet knows little pets like mine as well as bigger pets like cats and dogs. Affordable and experienced exotic vets are difficult to find, but Bryan and Dr. Gonzalez are wonderful at what they do. My piggie Nora ended up needing surgery, but Bryan helped keep me calm and informed throughout the process. I'm forever grateful for their help and loving care, it means more than they know.

They were awesome with my rabbit. Knowledgeable, fairly priced, personable, and experienced. It will definitely be where I take him again. Would highly recommend.
I don't quite understand why there are so many bad reviews here for this practice. Living in Richmond, it's hard to find a vet that will see rabbits. My rabbit got very sick last week, wasn't pooping, eating or drinking. I took him to see Dr. Gonzalez because she is one of the few vets that will actually see rabbits and are open until 7pm. The office was timely and so was Dr. Gonzalez and her assistant Natalie. Everyone was very kind towards me and my rabbit. My rabbit ended up being admitted as a critical care patient. He... read more
One of our six-year old fire-belly newts was obviously sick and we weren't sure what to do. Not every vet will care for amphibians, so after a online search I found a few to call. Only Lakeside was willing to talk to me over the phone. I spoke to a vet tech who helped us figure out what was wrong, make our sick newt comfortable during his last days and keep our other newt healthy. I am so grateful for the compassionate advice we got from Lakeside.
I love Lakeside animal Hospital. Gillian at the front desk and Dr Gonzalez are always happy to see my dog Devo, even though Devo can be a ten pound bundle of attitude. An exam is always a bit tricky with my dog but Dr G and her Vet techs are calm and gentle with her. Dr Gonzalez takes time to explain things and seems genuinely interested in my dogs health and well being. Devo has been seriously ill a few times do to "dietary indiscretions", on top of getting through those difficult times Dr Gonzalez has been supportive in... read more
I've known Dr Gonzalez for over 20 years and I've been taking my animals to Lakeside Animal Hospital since she bought it many years ago. She is the only vet in the city that I will take my babies too! The love and attention she gives them means so much too me. The time and patience that she gives to me when I'm asking a million questions is a rare thing to find in this age, as most places want you in and out quickly so they can bring more money in the door. Dr Gonzalez and her team have also made house calls when I've been u... read more
