Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing

This is a one person vet clinic. He barely touched my dogs and wanted to charge me $360.00 for each dog for shots. He has a drawer he opened and he has dirty tissues in there. All were dirty and used. That is what he used to wipe the thermometer. Was very uncomfortable while I was there as he kept telling me to hold my dogs. He didn't touch them. Never going again. He didn't even examine my dogs.

Highly recommended!! What a WONDERFUL discovery nearby my new residence in Lakewood! I took my 10yr old Terrier LEO to get his recent-ish dental extractions check on as well as to get some advice about his allergies. It was SO easy to get a next-day appointment, there was no wait when we arrived and Dr. Mahmood was so gentle and kind with LEO. Easy parking right out front!

Part 1: One of the strangest interactions I've had with any type of service provider. This was my first time at this vet (I would not call it a clinic because that would infer this facility has handy staff - this is a one man operation). My first odd observation was in the parking lot. The signs for this "animal hospital" were faded and peeling. Use your judgement over how many years it takes for a sign to get in that condition. This building looked more like a house than a hospital or a clinic. It wass very much out of place from it's surroundings. Then the side gate opened up with two "gravediggers" emerging, hauling something like a wheelbarrow with multiple garbage bags heavy enough to need two people to be able to move it. I thought that was strange, so I stayed in my car to see where they were going. They proceeded to roll up to a truck that had had an advertisement for pet cremation services on it. My dog had an obvious ear infection. She is prone to them, so we've had her treated for this before. This doctor took 2 minutes to examine her and promptly told me he needs to administer two injections and send me home with two oral medications on top of that.

My Bengal kitten is 7 months old. She was $2000. I'm very careful and did lots are of calls to different vets. This is the only place she's been to. Great doctor very friendly, very informative. Great prices. Very very good place. I'm so glad he's close to me for my baby. Covid made things screwy but he worked with my schedule and was a great great help. A++++++++
