This is the veterinarian I have been bringing my dog to since his birth.Food: Yes, they sell dog food and supplements. No, I do not purchase here. (No rating)Service: The staff here is great. They are very polite and friendly (disclaimer: one of my former students is a staff member). There is little to no wait when I come in for my dog's regular visits. Services include traditional pet care, nutrition, and acupuncture. Any issue my dog has had when having a visit have been fully addressed and resolved. Dr. Benbow is friendly and doesn't cut words with me, although if she uses the technical speak she does with me with other clients, that could potentially be an issue, if they do not have a similar knowledge of biology and pathology. Although trained in the "up sale", the staff is never pushy about attempting to get you to purchase products on site, outside traditional perscriptions. 4 Stars Facilities: This clinic has moved a few times since I started being a client. When I first brought my dog, if was located in West Metairie. The last 2 locations have been on Old Metairie Road, which, outside the city, is not a difficult drive from New Orleans proper. I am not a big fan of the direct off-street parking, because that thoroughfare can be busy, but it suffices. Also, the train can be an issue if one happens to be in the area at the wrong time.The newest incarnation of the clinic itself is in a strip mall style building. The interior is quite nice, very aesthetic, roomy, and clean to a fault. I like it. 4 StarsOverall: I have never been disappointed with service here, and Dr. Benbow is a consummate professional. My only negatives have been noted above, mostly in regards to the parking situation and the mildly inconvenient location. I find it can be a little hit in the pocketbook on cost, but as I don't frequent any other vets, I have no point of comparison. This not enough to dissuade someone from using the clinic for their pet's care. 4 Stars (Above Average) Read Less
