Animal Hospital of Lynnwood

This is just another medical company that prioritizes money and does not care about the well being of the animal or owner!! Just another corrupt company! I would give them 0 star if I could. I had awful service when first showing up to the clinic and they were extremely unkind to my dog. It was my first time visiting the clinic after moving from Colorado and we were hoping to find a vet were we could get him neutered. As well as potentially finding a vet that we can call for basic care for both of our dogs. He is extremely attached to me and my partner and even struggles with separation anxiety. When showing up to the clinic they gave me no direction on where to go. I walked in and they immediately got extremely upset and told me someone would help me at my car. I was given no prior direction before showing up for our appointment. Even though we spoke to them on the phone twice before the appointment. I showed up for our 1:45 appointment and after telling me to wait in my car. I didn’t receive help for another 10 minutes. When coming out they already thought I had been given paper work when I hadn’t received anything. They did not inform me on any expectations for our appointment. Which would have been nice to have been told, that we would not be allowed to go in with our dog (we would have made other decisions) and would have decided not to go to this clinic because of our dog having anxiety about being separated from us. They would not let me go in with our dog, making him act out when he got inside away from me. Apparently he was nipping at the nurses (something he has never done before), which they than attempted to put a muzzle on him which he has never been introduced to one of those before. Which made him even more uptight and aggressive. Dogs have emotions just like humans. They were not treating him with any regard to his emotions. After traumatizing him! I decided to not proceed with getting him neutered there because I was already extremely unhappy with the service. They literally saw him for fifteen minutes probably less and charged us 68.00 dollars for nothing. After we left our dog was literally shaking in the car from being so scared and traumatized. It is messed up to put a muzzle on any dog without first introducing it to them especially if there owner/family they are comfortable with is not present. I am disgusted by the service and treatment of this place! It breaks my heart these people are the ones supposed to be helping out pets.

Dr. Sodhi understood my desire to find different options to deal with my dog's on-going enlarged abdominal lymph nodes and recently enlarged adrenal glands, combined with high protein loss in the urine. He consulted with his radiologist about doing a biopsy lot less invasive than another doctor. In the end, it appears that the less invasive option wouldn't get to the lymph nodes close to the liver so now the more invasive option appears to be better option. I appreciate Dr. Sodhi's logical and patient approach to help me understand the issue. He is a knowledgeable and pragmatic doctor!

We have been bringing our dog here since we first got him over a year ago; I have gotten nothing but good advice, friendly support, care and am very happy with this veterinarian. They know corgis very well! I admit when I first saw 'holistic medicine' in the title I was unsure whether western medicine/typical veterinarian care was provided, but I can say at this point that I trust the doctors here because they combine the two and definitely use regular medicine and treatments when needed. I feel confident that they truly care for my pup, and have experienced good care whether we come in for something routine or something like an emergency. I've seen other reviewers comment about the costs sometimes from this vet which is fair so I wanted to share my experience with this. I have found if you are upfront about costs being a concern, the vet will work with you as best as they can to make sure your pet is cared for while respecting your wallet! They provided me with a cost estimate when my pup was really sick before having to pay for anything, and did their best to choose cost-effective options when possible. I didn't have my dog neutered here just because I found a shelter that could do it for very low-cost so I cannot comment on that, but I do feel comfortable taking my pet here whether he's extremely sick or just for a check-up. I also appreciated that the front desk staff answered my many questions about cost, payments, and appointments without being annoyed! Patience is always appreciated.

This practice includes two vets and staff who are thorough and will get to know your pets. Our experience is they work well with our elderly cat and with our household! We switched to Animal Hospital of Lynnwood 3 years ago after very mixed experiences with two other practices. Comparing these experiences, I truly wish we'd found them sooner...with their help, we finally healed a tenacious animal bite.

I was introduced to Dr Sodhi by a dear friend over a year ago when Western Medicine was only going so far for my beautiful shar-pei, Stoli, who had been diagnosed with chronic kidney failure. She was originally given 3-6 months to live, and we extended her life longer. Though we took our baby girl to him at the end, I know that we could not have asked for a better doctor to not only validate the hard work it took to keep her healthy in her terminal state, but to also help us keep her comfortable in her final weeks. He personally called me to inform me of her new blood test results after her first visit with him, and to discuss options, and what the results meant for her quality of life. Although she was in a very dire state (close to the end), he expressed sympathy and how well as dog parents we have done to give her every chance at living out a healthy life. Dr Sodhi gave us a few supplements that we could try to help her eat a little more and assist in her energy levels. They did help her! My baby girl had never taken to a vet so quickly; she walked right up to him, jumped on him and immediately began loving on him like they were best friends. In her last moments, before we let her pass since her quality of life was no longer there, she licked him goodbye, and we all, Dr. Sodhi included, sat with her. I have never met a doctor with more compassion for animals and their owners who love them. I also brought my 11 year old lab Bailey to see him after our first experience with Stoli. Bailey has despised veterinary offices since he was a pup and has super high anxiety, so when he sees Dr Sodhi, he sits with ease. Bailey has already had one major surgery and recovered beautifully. Also, we went over supplementation (super simple stuff to add to his diet), and proved through validated blood testing that my home cooking has been working and he is super healthy at his mature age. He also took the time to figure out some cost- effective alternatives to meal prep for him since Bailey has allergies. I would never have even thought of those options on my own without his help. Above and beyond. I love that I have a vet that I trust and will always treat my animals with love and compassion. I know that my furry kids will be patients of Dr Sodhi's for life. Thank you so much!!
