Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

Most visits result in attentive, caring service with vets and staff who know their craft and follow up afterward. Problems surface when emergencies hit: one elderly boxer went downhill two days post-vaccination (vets gave all shots at once without warning), and the clinic had no urgent slot for two days despite a concerned owner's calls. Another owner felt dismissed over a miscommunication about stool samples, and a third questioned a vet's medical judgment after seeking a second opinion. For routine care, the clinic shines; for acute crises, availability and communication gaps emerge.

Scheduling does work out for planned visits, and staff like Brian at the front desk and named vets like Arcuri and Andrew earn separate praise when they connect well with animals. The clinic claims to serve Lakewood and beyond since 1969, listing wellness checks, diagnostics, surgery, and preventive care. Those praising the place often mention every role firing on the same level, from receptionist through vet tech to veterinarian.
