How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lawrenceville Veterinary Clinic

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.

We were a bit behind on our dogs healthcare and found out our pervious vet’s practice had closed and lacked any way to get records to prove her health status. Both the veterinarian and the techs were so understanding and caring helping us back on track. You can tell they have the best interest of the animals they care for in mind. She had an abnormal test result that the office will be following up with but I’m so thankful we chose them for her care and know they will help us manage her health going forward!

Prompt and professional service! We arrived a few minutes early to our appointment and went right into an exam room. The tech asked pertinent health questions about my malamute, Mel. Dr Mansfield saw Mel shortly thereafter and we had a diagnosis and a prescription in no time. I highly recommend this clinic.

I switched over to this vet clinic a year ago because of the great reviews. Sadly, this will be the first time in my 46 years of life that I feel compelled to write a negative review about a businuess as I feel others need to be warned. Dr. Mansfield and his team were initially very welcoming of myself and my 6 month old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. As a first time dog owner, I occasionallyt asked questions about why such and such a treatment was recommended - not because I ever questioned the expertise of the Doctor but because I love my puppy and am always interested in learning more - I've always been curious about how things work and want to educate myself. After not having seen the vet for a number of months, I placed a call just today to get my puppy a renewal of his Simparica Trio medication and asked for the vet's opinion on switching over to another comparable medication called Nexgard Spectra. The receptionist got Dr. Mansfield on the phone and, to my shock, he proceeded very curtly to let me know that he didn't feel his clinic was a good fit for Teddy and I. When I politely asked "Can you tell me why?" His response was, "No I don't have to ... you questioned everything we did." So now I am writing this review so that potential future customers realize that although this is clearly an excellent clinic (based on all the positive reviews), there is an unfortunate hypersensitivity and/or insecurity that could result in customers feeling like they cannot ask questions. For first-time dog owners like myself that are still trying to figure everything out, this could be expecially detrimental. Again, I take no delight in writing this review but feel it necessary to let customers know the facts so they can make an informed decision. I wish Dr. Mansfield and his team well. Update: Just called again to ask for my puppy's medical records. Dr. Mansfield picked up and said, "We're blocking your number" and then hung up. I just sent a polite e-mail explaining that I was simply calling for Teddy's records. We shall see ...

I couldn’t be happier with our experience here! I have a 9 year old Shih Tzu and Dr. Mansfield was so thorough in going over her medical history and things to look out for in the future. The staff were kind and incredibly prompt which I appreciate so much, and the space was clean which I imagine is hard to keep up with at a vet clinic. Due to moving around a bit, my dog has been to three different vets in the Pittsburgh area and while they’ve all provided great care, I was most impressed by the care, staff, and provider at Lawrenceville Vet Clinic.

Great staff. Very caring, friendly, and informative. The facilty is clean and well equipped. Dr. Mansfield explained to us about a lump from our dog's jaw. He did surgery to remove it. The office also has convenient parking right in front. The staff is also great with communications.👍
