After going to another vet and still being concerned about my dog who was very sick, I called Lakeside Animal Hospital. They were immediately concerned and without an appt told me to bring her in. Dr. Gonzalez said she needed iv fluids and oxygen and they immed. did a sonogram. They were very concerned with her status and very compassionate. She ended up being very sick and they scheduled a surgery for the following day. One of the staff members Danielle, offered to check in on her at 1:30 in the am out of her free time, whi... read more
I'm writing this review after an upsetting experience today at Lakeside Animal Hospital. My sister-in-law brought my dog Macy in for pre-surgery bloodwork. We chose this location for the lab work because it was a more affordable option, as Macy's upcoming surgery is already a significant financial burden. During the visit, a vet tech made multiple comments implying that we were making the wrong decision by using a surgeon who is not board certified. While everyone is entitled to their professional opinion, the way this was ... read more
Strange experience with this vet. Odd phone interaction with woman who wasn't interested in taking on my rabbit as a patient. Will need to find another small animal vet even though she claims to be expert?
My cat Sammy came home from Lakeside Animal Hospital after only two days when she would've needed at least 7 days for the full course of the antibiotic. They had a skirmish with her and had to move furniture to retrieve her. Guess what they said when they called to tell me she could come home after not even two days there? They had injected her with a long-acting antibiotic that would stay in her system 10 days. Why was this not the go-to instead of boarding her for a week to give P.O. medication (because she would damage m... read more
Communication is lacking. I have not received any call backs, but instead get partial email communication. I brought my dog in for mass removal, as this is expensive and took all I had to meet the original estimate, I stressed that all post op care needed to be included. At time for staple removal, I was told there would be additional costs and that I would receive a call to review cost. Not only have I never received an estimate or explanation, I don't even get return call. I only received a cryptic email that simply said n... read more
They treated my two elderly bunnies with such love and care. Super knowledgeable about all things bunny!! I trust them completely. The only thing is our appointments consistently start late, so don't schedule the appointment if you have somewhere to be in a hurry after
My cat has fleas. Before even booking an appointment, it cost $110 that they say is a deposit. They asked me to also bring a stool sample. After the confirmed diagnosis, they recommended a pill for killing existing fleas, a topical for preventing future fleas, a spray and/or fogger to kill any fleas in the house, a rabies vaccine, other vaccines, and a topical dewormer. I went for the pill flea killer and the topical flea killer and expected my bill to be $70ish. They said it was $260, which was $110 for the exam, $70ish f... read more
"great" place if all you are looking for is a referral. I called about a possible infection and all they could do was to give me a couple of phone numbers. Like the Lakeside Yellow Pages
Never ever have I had a bet ask for a deposit for an appointment. Apparently people blast be backing out and not showing up.
