Lake County Veterinary Clinics, PLLC

Colette Wolfe-Dickmeyer

Deepest appreciation and respect to Dr. Brown, Juliyana Lebsach and the team at Lake County Vet. Friday night, 5:00 we had an emergency with our much loved Yellow lab, Venus. Dr. Brown found a twisted bladder-an extremely rare and life-threatening condition. She IMMEDIATELY conducted life-saving surgery and treated her as her own. In todays world, it’s rare to such a level of care and excellence. Thank you. Colette and Gary Wolf Den Retrievers Duluth, Mn

Absolutely recommend Lake County Vet. They truly care for your pet. My dog has had a few surgeries and Dr Brown and all the staff have always ensured she is well cared for. They’ve always been very adaptable and reachable for all questions and concerns. If you needing a new vet, I highly encourage you to give them a call!

I brought my pup in for a tumor in her mouth and one on her back. They were not experienced to deal with either but ran up a $3000 bill and did not address the issue. They cleaned her teeth pulled two teeth and ran a biopsy. Hardly worth $1000 let alone what they charged. After bringing me down this rabbit hole thinking they were helping my pup it was clear they were not at all experienced to deal with this complicated surgery and Dr Brown had to consult her college professor as I found out she had fairly recently graduated. They should have told me from the start they were not experienced to handle the issues Jayda had and referred me elsewhere. I had to go to another vet and have the tumors removed for only $734. Beware of their complicated and padded estimates and the way they cunningly convince you they are going to do this or that and are there to help. When I picked my dog up she was over medicated for days and it was a horrible experience all the way around. I will be making a formal complaint to the State Veterinary Board. The mistakes made by this vet cost my pup further pain and suffering as it grew by the time we were able to get to a competent Vet and have the issue remedied. If you have had a similar experience with this clinic contact me on Facebook I will be posting. “Justice for Jayda” post and will be rounding up others who have been taken advantage of by this clinic. It is completely immoral to use our beloved animals in this manner.

My male cat was diagnosed with a UTI after I discovered multiple urinations that had a red tinge. I brought him in time after time to this vet and they continued to give him pain meds and antibiotics. I spent THOUSANDS of dollars and several months as nothing was helping, as he continued to show different symptoms. They just kept pushing pain meds on me. One night, I had to take him to the afterhours emergency vet in Duluth as this vet was closed and he was unable to urinate (again). The vet on staff took one look at him and said we needed to look further into this and hooked him up to an ultrasound. He immediately saw a huge tumor on my cat's bladder, and I had to put him to sleep that night as it was incurable. Lake County Vet Clinic misdiagnosed him for months and never told me that they did not have an ultrasound machine at their clinic. They could have spotted this cancer immediately and my cat would not have had to go through such painful last months, not to mention the $5000 I spend for an inaccurate diagnosis. The money isn't an issue, the fact that they didn't tell me they didn't have the equipment to make the cancer diagnosis is malpractice.
