Lawndale Pet Hospital

I don't know why most vet clinics ( that did have walk-ins before) moved away from walk-ins. Pets are fragile and cats for example hide their illness from owners due to their natural instincts. You need walk-ins for pets more often than not. For that I really appreciate this place! I also appreciate the kindness, compassion, and sincere empathy especially displayed by the vet tech. I think his name was Ethan or Nathan. I am bad with names. He spent a lot of time explaining things and wasn't rushing us as we were facing a difficult situation with our angel. The trade off is you have to wait sometimes longer than you might want to is that: understanding that the vet or tech is spending time in regards to pet patient care vs rushing a person in and out. It must be hard to find a balance with that. For me I would gladly wait a long time knowing that they are taking the time needed to explain something important to another pet owner in the back. This was our first visit here. Thank you and RIP our precious, adorable angel Minnie!

I called this pet hospital looking for a second opinion about my dog’s need for a tooth extraction but he also has a heart condition, which made it a bit more complicated. Toni answered the phone and was so kind and patient with all of my questions. When we met with the technician Neidi, she explained all the procedures and costs without rushing through the info to get to the next patient. She even recommended I look into getting CareCredit when I told her I couldn’t afford all the costs. When I met Dr Lynch, he was so friendly and gave his recommendations but didn’t pressure or shame me into making a quick decision. He personally called me after our dog’s dental surgery. Even after we chatted and I had more questions, the hospital staff treated me with the same kindness. At our former vet, I consistently felt as though I was inconveniencing the staff when I asked for clarification or an explanation about my dog’s behavior or medicine needs. I didn’t know being treated so kindly at the vet was even a possibility! The best part is that when we arrived the next day for my dog’s surgery, he didn’t hide or shake while waiting in the examination room. In fact, he walked around wagging his tail as though he didn’t have a care in the world. This showed me how comfortable he felt in this new environment. This has been the most wonderful experience, both for me and my dog. I can’t recommend Lawndale Pet Hospital enough; we will only be coming here for our dog’s care from now on.

I like this hospital, they take good care of your furry family. Since it's not appointment based, first you wait in line to get registered. Then they tell you approximately how long till you will be called in. After they call you in, it goes smoothly and efficiently. You might have a shirt wait in the lobby till they prep your room. The staff and doctors are very nice and friendly.

DON'T TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS HOSPITAL! Took my dog for a dental cleaning. My dog's pre- examination with the vet was a SO fast, like he was on a rush. Went straight to the computer, didn't even asked for any health concerns or questions and quickly gave me an estimate of 800+ depending on the extractions needed. I was somewhat surprised because the previous year total was around 600. He seemed annoyed by my comment and sent an assistant to go over the estimate. Total ended up being $960. WAY OVERPRICED. The only reason I came to the hospital was because I don't remember getting a bad service before but definitely not coming back after this. I had to go back because of an issue with the medication and to let them know that they also cut two of my dog's nails too short that they cut its quick and they even told me anything when I picked her up. Not verbally, not written. The least they can do is let the owner know so they can be careful, I noticed the dried blood around her nails. So I went back the next day, Cristina in the reception had a really bad attitude and didn't show any empathy whatsoever. She shouldn't be seating at front if she doesn't understand what customer service is. Dental radiographs $150, x ray additional view $49, catherization iv $55, prophylaxis $250, dental extractions $48 each (last year was $28), overpriced medicine (that is online for half the price) nail trimming $27 And some other stuff that they add like they also tried some expensive dental water additive that you can get online for $10. Oh and even if you have an appointment they have you line outside to check in and then they call you when they have a room available. They helped us after 1h+

I’ve been bringing my dogs to Lawndale Pet Hospital for over 20 years now and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Vet tech Mel is the absolute best! My Dalmatian always gets so excited to see her and she treats him as if he was her own. Highly recommend this vet.
