The hospital staff and the doctors are wonderful, caring, kind, helpful and patience!!! They will help you on the phone or in person with any questions or concerns you have. I have gone to them for years and wouldn't take my pets any where else ever! Read Less

I have been going here for years, and still continue to, even though I no longer live in Lawrence. It's worth the 45 minutes of howling down K-10 to take my aging Siamese to Dr. Kraft. He is extremely caring, and well read on all manner of cat issues. He has frequently called to follow up, and we have had 30 minute conversations. He is very thorough and conscientious of your pet's health, what is best for them, and your budget. All of the staff is wonderful at LVH. I cannot recommend more highly. Read Less

My dog and I love the helful, friendly staff here. They make you feel welcome and taken care of from the front desk to the exam rooms. Dr. Kraft and Dr. Johnson are awesome! Affordable prices as well, I will absolutely recommend this office and continue to go here for as long as I live in Lawrence! Read Less

They took such good care of my dog when I was there. They keep him so calm and he feels safe around them. Best vets in town. If you need anything taken care of regarding your pets, there's no better place I can recommend in Lawrence than LVH. Read Less

I'm a Lawrence East sider and I have no problem making the "trek" to the West side. Thank you to the entire staff. Read Less

The staff and Vets at Lawrence Veterinary Hospital are kind, flexible and they treat all pets as their own. My pets love going to the vet and are excited when they walk in. The staff is always working to accommodate times that work for my pets and my schedule. They always inform me of what is best for my pets, and they take a conservative approach to ensure the health and well being of the pets that they care for. In many ways the staff and doctors are extension of our family. Read Less

Very honest and easy to understand; thorough and caring with establishing care with my pup as a new resident to the area. No complaints and happy to have found a vet that explains everything and cares about my dog. Read Less

This is the first vet that our pets don't mind visiting. Dr Kraft and Dr Anna genuinely care about our pets' health AND comfort. They take time to keep the cats soothed and free from anxiety. The entire staff is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Read Less

We started taking Maggie our Boxer to Lawrence Veterinary Hospital in 2015 after a bad experience with another local vet. From our first visit, we have felt so welcomed and comfortable with both Dr. Kraft and Dr. Anna. The vet techs and front desk staff are always friendly and helpful too. You can tell that all of them love animals by the way they interact with your pet. The doctors never rush your visit either and stay as long as you need them to explain your pet's health problems. We totally trust them to help us make the right decisions for Maggie's health. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a loving and caring team of professionals to help with their pet's needs. Read Less

Dr. Kraft worked with me and my cats over 20 years ago. One was extremely difficult to work with, and yet he did so kindly and thoughtfully, made accommodations for him, and was their veteran until both passed away a few years ago. I recently returned with two kittens, and it's good to know we're in such good hands. The entire staff has always been professional and personable over the years. We're fortunate to have Lawrence Veterinary Hospital in our town. Read Less

I just moved here and needed a vet.  Several people recommended this place.  I loved my vet in Illinois, so I wasn't expecting any place to live up to that standard.  Lawrence Veterinary Hospital did.  They diagnosed my older dog with early stage kidney failure, and were so kind as we discussed how to know when it is time to let him go.  Through their tests, we know that he is not as far along as previously thought, and their treatment (special food) has done wonders for my little man.  I have a larger dog and a cat, both of whom the staff treated wonderfully.  Previous reviewers clearly had bad experiences, but I do not think that is typical.  The staff is super friendly and helpful.  The facility is clean, bright, and welcoming.

I was in from another state, when my 15 year old baby got terribly sick they took such good care of him, he was so bad I thought it was the end for him happy to say its been 5 months and I still have my sweet baby Fred. Thanks to all of these great people! Read Less

I've been bringing my dog here since he was a puppy and he's now about a year and a half. I always saw Anna Johnson, DVM and was very pleased. However, the last time I saw her my dog had an ear infection and acted as most animals do when they are hurting and don't want to be touched, which is unpleasantly. However, I set up an appointment to have my dog neutered and considering we'd never had any other issues I figured this would be fine.Now, a little background on my dog. He's a breed that tends to be on dangerous breeds list and because of this I've done everything possible to make sure he doesn't earn that reputation. I've done early socialization, I've taken him to behavior specialists, and I work with a trainer that was recommended to me by a behavior specialist. Both the behavior specialist and the trainer to not think my dog is dangerous. However, I arrived to drop off my dog for his appointment and I'm immediately brought to wait in a room by a vet tech who is clearly terrified of my dog.Then the other vet, who I had never seen before, James Kraft DVM, walks in and as my dog walks up to sniff him he immediately turns around and leaves the room saying, "I'm not comfortable with this." He comes back in with a muzzle and after I've put it on my dog he tells me that my dog's normal vet had told him my dog was "unpredictable about when he's going to bite." My dog has never bitten anyone. He then proceeds to attempt to impress upon me the seriousness of a dog biting someone and tells me my dog acts this way because of his breed. However, he was not respectful and polite about any of this he spent 15 minutes or so berating me and speaking over me when I try to tell him that I've already seen behavior specialists after he tells me I need to see this specific one. He talks over me telling me that isn't good enough and neither is the trainer we work with, despite not letting me tell him the names of the people we had, and are seeing.After a straight 15 minutes or so of berating and acting aggressively towards me he attempts to touch my dog twice and no, at that point my dog was not friendly. He tells me we need to leave because he doesn't want to put his staff in danger and that would have been fine if he left it at that. I ask for the info of the behavior specialist and he leaves the room for several minutes then comes back in to tell me my info is at the front counter and to retrieve the muzzle. I go to the front counter to pick up my info and pick it up while all the employees avoid making eye contact with me and walk out the door. All the while, I hear Kraft, DVM ranting loudly in the background about how he's not going to put his staff in danger with that dog.Long story short, a few of the workers here have no idea how to behave around large dogs and blame it on the dog. Especially if you have a breed with a bad reputation. Being worried about my dog and the safety of your staff and other people is one thing, but being disrespectful and refusing to use the brain that, one assumes, had to have gotten you through veterinary school is another. If you have to see anyone make sure it isn't James Kraft, DVM because he wont listen to you and will talk down to you and express shock if your dog doesn't put up with someone acting that aggressively towards you.

The doctors not only apply a vast store of medical knowledge but truly care about my past. That makes a big difference in the quality of care. Prices are right in line with top level care. I recommend Dr. Kraft to everyone I know. Read Less

I had a very sick kitty that both Dr Kraft and Dr Moser saw and helped get better. Both doctors are compassionate and helped my cat get better when we thought she wasn't going to. The entire staff is very friendly and knowledgable and were willing to answer all of my questions without making me feel like I was going overboard. I will defintely be recommeding this hospital to all my family and friends! Read Less

The veterinarians in this clinic are knowledgeable, but ultimately care only about the money they are making on your pets. Sure, they can do a physical exam and clean your pet's teeth - but I would not trust them with much else. Boarding facilities are acceptable and affordable, but I am sure one could find better. The state of the facility does not correspond with the vet's fee. At least one of the techs is very rude, and if she treats humans this way, I do not trust her with animals. Dr. Moser mislead me upon a procedure that had not yet been performed. Dr. Kraft failed come up with a treatment plan as I watched my cat waste away. Stay away. Read Less

Needed a place to board my dog last minute and used this clinic because the price was right. Was glad I did, not only did they take great care of my dog, they even gave him a free bath after 3 nights. They also had no problem giving him an exam and all of his shots while I was out of town as well. Would recommend Lawrence Veterinary Hospital to everyone. Read Less

We were very disgusted about the care we received from this vet. We took our puppy for his first exam and they told us he seemed perfectly healthy ignoring the fact that he was almost underweight and occasionally puking. As the puking progressed we called more and tried to get help to solve our dogs problem. They had us bring in a stool sample but did not want to examine the puppy. The vet did not call us with the results so we finally gave in and called them. When they told us the results came back normal I began to question what do we do next to figure out what is wrong. The lady I spoke to just said that it could be he is adjusting to his new home and rushed me off the phone. I finally got them to see my dog after that weekend was over. That Monday, Dr. Kraft informed us that our dog had lost 2lbs in a week, which was half of his body weight, and was seriously sick. He also recommended that we put him to sleep because he would probably not live through the night and all of the tests would cost a fortune. I then told them how I felt about them ignoring us and telling us the puppy is just getting use to his new home. The doctor did not care about what we had to say and did not even cut us a break on the price to put the puppy asleep. They charged us $110 just to put the dog asleep, and that is excluding cremation since we buried him at home. Since it was close to the end of the day, the doctor and nurse rushed us to make a decision and tried to get us out of their office as fast as possible. This was a very tragic event for us and being treated poorly did not help. The breeder of our puppy tried to talk to the vet about what happened and he would not give her the time of day. I RECOMMEND TO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE!!!!!! Read Less
