Preventive care

I've been meaning to write a review for this vet since I first came here but this last visit really sealed the deal for me. Love love love this Vet. Great service and super attentive to my cats' needs. Called with my cat having sudden worms and they got back to the issue right away. I didn't even have to bring him in. I also had him neutered here when I first got him, and they did a fantastic job. He recovered extremely well and fast with little to no complications. I was also not expecting to recieve an email checking in on him a couple days after the procedure. It was a pleasant surprise as im new to being a pet owner and I'm not sure what I am doing 100% of the time so it's nice to feel like you're not alone after these types of procedures. Best of all, it's cheap. You won't be breaking the bank going to this vet. No hidden charges, no required additional treatments that your pet doesn't need. Super transparent and honest. I look forward to taking my gremlin Mango back to them in the future.

This review is long overdue... I have been taking all of my animals to this clinic for the past 3 years. I have never had any problems and in fact have been treated very well here, it’s the best clinic in the city! April, the receptionist has always gone above and beyond for me, helping me with anything I need, which is so rare to see in a receptionist in ANY medical setting. Seeing these bad reviews are actually so shocking… The majority of the 1 star reviews are CLEARLY coming from people who are so miserable in their own lives that they feel the need to slander an amazing business and incredible employee. I think people need to find something better to do with their time. I have personally seen April deal with difficult people and she has never come across as rude or condescending. Some people are just entitled and don’t like hearing “no”. Out of all the clinics I have been to, I have never seen such great service and care as I have here! They clearly care for their furry patients and their clients! I love Kanata Lakes and will continue to come here for years to come. Best clinic ever! Highly recommend!

Had a great experience at this veterinary clinic, did a full examination on my new kitten. Service was friendly, quick and efficient. Vet was able to answer all our questions

I had an appointment for my cat Coco at my new vet clinic (NOT Kanata Lakes) today. It made me realize how the customer service should be like. I left Kanata Lakes Animal Clinic (after my last appointment a month ago for my other kitten, Chanel), solely because I didn’t want to deal with their receptionist for appointments/information. Initially, I wasn’t sure what her problem was until I saw the Google reviews confirming her often rude and condescending nature. It’s funny how the owner’s responses are so defensive as if non-patients would complain about a receptionist 😅 Is she related to the owner or something? You’d think she’d be gone by now. However, no complaints about the doctors or the other technicians, especially Dr. Julie Lévesque is amazing. She’s professional, kind and thorough. Most people would be in a state of emergency or worry when contacting a medical clinic for assistance. You'd hope being patient and compassionate would be a given for an employee. Maybe consider introducing an online appointment booking option if you want to continue employing a bad fit for the job. At least that would reduce her interactions with the clients.

We had a very negative experience with this clinic, primarily due to a condescending and rude receptionist. After looking through other reviews, I was disappointed to find that the owner seems to have been condoning this unprofessional behavior, rather than working to improve the customer service experience. To make matters worse, the owner attempted to cover up the receptionist's actions by claiming, "we don't have a record of your visit." Fortunately, we were able to remain calm on the phone. However, the receptionist has a tendency to escalate situations, which can be highly frustrating for customers. While this experience was certainly unpleasant, it has made me realize that this clinic is a bad choice. I sincerely hope they take customer feedback seriously and work to address these ongoing issues.
