VCA Lakeside Animal Hospital

This was my first time here and I have to say that I was impressed. Everyone on staff was kind and attentive. The doctor actually listened to me and treated me like an equal. The techs were kind and efficient. I will be bringing all of my cats there from now on. A special call out of Todd, the receptionist. That man was on. top. of. it. The waiting area was full of people, yet he kept his cool. He handled multiple things at once, acknowledged everyone individually, and treated everyone with the same grace and patience while keeping his sense of humor.

ABSOLUTELY recommend Dr. Gonzalez and the staff. Amazing experience. My dog needed to be seen urgently and they were able to get us in when no other vet could. They were very communicative. The amount of care they took was outstanding! Dr. Gonzalez called to check up multiple times. He even called to relay some labs. Not his assistant he did. I think that shows the care and dedication that he has. In all honesty this experience has restored my faith in Doctors still giving a damn. I also need to add they gave my dog a stuffy on her first visit!

This Veterinarian office is by far the best I have ever had the pleasure of taking my pets too! Super friendly staff. Their exam rooms have couches and rugs instead of cold metal tables. And of course all pets are allowed on the furniture. When the vet came in he sat on the rug with my dog and proceeded with the exam right there, making my dog feel much more comfortable and less anxious and stressed. They also have treat jars around the office so there is always one near by, just in case your little (or big) one needs a little snack. At other vet offices my dog would pull away from me and it was like playing tug-a- war just to get him in the door, at this office he runs to the door, goes in greats everyone (waits for a treat, I gave a fat dog!) and when they call his name over the inner com he gets up and off he goes. By far the best veterinarian office, I travel 1 1/2 hours one way to take my pets here!

This place is great. The staff is super friendly and love in our dog when we come in. He loves going in and getting all the attention. They are accommodating and worth the wait if you are looking for a new vet. They make it special for the pet and the owner. They give great advice and truly care about the pet.

Out dog is a mid-to-late model, not with the latest intelligence in the engineering, and he sometimes makes poor choices on fuel. Last night it was everything green and standing on its own in our yard. It's like a really slobbery herd of goats went through there. Fortunately, we were able to drop him off first thing at VCA Lakeside this morning, and they put a quick and friendly stop to the sputtering, coughing and leaking. They explained the issues clearly, offered fair and timely options, kept us updated on progress, and had us back on the road by the afternoon. Even the pickup process was friendly and helpful, and the maintenance instructions for the next week were easy to follow. Highly recommended for those models that always manage to shake a joint loose or clog up a hose.
