This place is amazing! My dog has had seizures ever since he was a puppy and I was super nervous that I was going to have to put him down because his seizures kept getting longer and more frequent throughout the day. Dr. Schmidt was phenomenal! She was kind, looking for the best quality of life for myself and my dog, and willing to work with me no matter how long it took. She helped us figure out the right medication regimen and my dog has been seizure free for over a year! I know this happy ending won’t happen for everyone but I appreciate the patience and kindness that everyone at this vet showed me and my dog for every visit! I cannot thank you guys enough!

I would never trust this place with my animals. The first time we went just for yearly shots ect. Both of my dogs developed lumps from their rabies shots. After months they eventually went away, we let that slide. Next I bring in my boy dog for anal gland issues which he has had before. They express his glands and give him medictaion. After 5 visits in just a couple weeks and spending almost $300 on anal glands and medications I bring him home to our old vet, they do 1 single infusion and his glands heal and he is fine and hasn't had a single issue since. Then it gets WAY WORSE. The vet tells me my Aussie has 10 BROKEN TEETH. She tells us she will need to get them pulled out because they are cracked. We immediately trusted her but looking at the bill for the procedure decided to get a second opinion. We drive back home to our regular vet, they have not only the dental hygienist look at her teeth but both doctors WITHOUT TELLING THEM WHAT'S WRONG. They all say there is NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH ANY OF THIS DOG'S TEETH. We told them what the Maple Street vet had said and they couldn't help but laugh thinking it was a joke!!!! Sadly this place seems to only care about money. They let my dog go in pain for weeks and weeks without ever helping him and wanted to let my 4 year old dog live with 10 missing teeth for no reason. They seem nice but either are EXTREMELY inexperienced or are very bad people. Read Less

Fabulous staff and experienced vets. The price is higher than other places but 100% worth it. They care for my cats as if they were their own which is exactly what you want when seeking medical attention for your fur babies. Read Less

MSAC is like family to me and my babies. One of my pups has anxiety, and everyone in the clinic is so supportive and caring. Dr Hill has been a wonderful resource and helped us navigate through all the ins and outs of our pup's needs. And his team is wonderful! We love them so much Read Less

Worst service I've experienced. The most simple procedures they sent us to a specialist. Only gave one point but would give a zero. The vets that used to be here when lived here before were much better. This group has attitude and in it for the money. Read Less

We've had lots of ups and downs with my dog over the past 6 and a half years. But every step along the way, Dr. Brian Hill has been with us. From torn CCLs to allergies and Rigby's insane appetite and ridiculous ability to consume absurd amounts of everything from bread to joint supplements, he's taken amazing care of Rigby. He and the staff do an amazing job of checking up on acute issues and following up on appointments. Dr. Zeller likewise has been amazing with my silly aging and sometimes accident prone cat, Ringo, who decided he was going to be an outdoor cat after 6 years of being an indoor cat. On at least two occasions I was able to bring him in for emergency sutures for skin lesions and treatment for an abscess on his head with little warning. Outside of the doctors, the vet techs are amazing. Rigby is a special dog - she's developed a fear of people in scrubs after some uncomfortable visits and tends to hide under the chair while we're in the waiting room. But every time a vet tech she has gotten to know comes out and she recognizes them, she quickly warms up - even after they have to trim her nails. I can't say enough good things about this clinic and their staff. Every aspect has been extremely satisfactory from the beginning, and I can't imagine going to anyone else for Rigby or Ringo's primary care. Read Less

The staff, docs even cleaners are first class. Great location for people like me who never leave uptown (why would we?) Polite, helpful never make you wait unless they are jammed. Full service, they won't send you anywhere else except perhaps to Petsmart for supplies. Read Less

I'm a new pet owner, and Maple Small Animal Clinic was just what I was looking for in a vet. They're conveniently located for me, their prices are reasonable and their customer and clinical service is just fabulous! I highly recommend them! Read Less

We've been bringing our fur babies here for their entire lives (5+ years!). The staff is wonderful and truly cares for your animals. They will accommodate an emergency when needed and have always been wonderful to work with. I recommend them without hesitation! Read Less

EXCELLENT staff of doctors and employees. Dr. Erica Brasher is the BEST. she is so informative and knowledgeable and she really cares. She holds my dog like she's cradling a baby. The staff is top notch and the medical services are the best. They will not do any service just becaude, it has to be 100% needed.Read Less

All of our experiences here have been quick, no fuss, and reasonably priced. We've had a great experience with Dr Brasher - she is patient, caring, and easy to talk to when something worrisome arises. On top of that, the techs and front desk staff are always friendly and happy to be there which makes everything that much nicer. Thanks to everyone at Maple Small Animal Clinic for all you do!

Maple Small Animal Clinic is seriously as good as it gets. We have worked with Dr. Z and Dr. Emily, and both of these empathic doctors have taken our family's needs to heart while working with our dogs. Their care and experience, as well as the help from some seriously talented vet assistants, allow our anxious pups to feel a bit more at home each time we return to the office. Financially, Maple is the best decision we could have made in terms of our high-need pups as well. Bring your pets here! Read Less

Wonderful staff and Doctor Emily is the most competent and caring veterinarian we know. We have a big pit bull and a little miniature dachshund, and both are handled with equal consideration and love. Office is run professionally - appointment times are respected and follow up is great - we can't recommend Maple Small Animal Clinic highly enough! Read Less

this place is incredibly professional and compassionate with all the animals they care for. they always call after an appointment to follow up and make sure your pet is doing well. can always find you an appointment week of and can squeeze you in if its urgent. best vet clinic in Nola by far Read Less

Great doctors and staff. Took my daschund in for a dental cleaning. They included before and after photos, and cleaned his ears and trimmed his nails while he was under anesthesia. They called the next morning to see how he was doing. I highly recommend them.Read Less

I have been coming here for years and have worked with just about all of the doctors....and they are all amazing!! They don't just care about your pets, but you as well!! I will never use another Vet!! Read Less

About 2 months ago I brought my dog to Dr hill at maple per referral from a friend. I found out he had cancer but he wasn't gonna be able to fight it. Dr Hill helped me give my boy the end of life care he deserved and on 9-12-15 when eli couldn't fight any longer, Dr hill and Dr braizer helped me let my boy go. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the doctors and staff of maple small animal clinic, they are some of the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met. I instantly felt welcomed and knew my dog was in good hands. Thank you all so much for helping me in the most difficult of times. A big thanks to Dr pamela Mitchell who made sure I knew I wasn't alone. Read Less

Only the BEST! Thanks to all at Maple Small Animal Clinic... most of all, thanks Doctor Eugene Zeller for being a great friend to me, my family, and my pups. We could not have done it over the many years without you! Read Less

Our pets were patients here for 3 years before we moved out of state and this is quite possibly the best veterinary service on the planet. They helped me immensely in figuring out what was wrong with my dog (epilepsy) and in coming up with a treatment plan for her. At first I was very scared for her, her seizures became increasingly more violent and increased frequency insanely fast, peculiarly so. Dr. Zeller took the time to explain everything to me, all the possibilities and even gave me his personal cell phone number! Thats how much the man cares about the wellbeing of his patients. It's because of his dedication that my dog is able to go about life like the happy little pup she is. Now she only seizes once in a blue moon, as opposed to every other day and the medication doses are so spot on that all her bloodwork comes back in the normal range. Everyone here is so great. If I hadn't had to move out of state I'd be a customer for life. Read Less

Maple Small Animal Clinic really is as good as it gets!  Having lived in a few states, our cats have had to change vets more than once.  The staff at Maple Small Animal Clinic are WONDERFUL.  When we had our initial visit (a routine check-up) with Dr. Zeller, my husband and I were so impressed with the time that Dr. Zeller spent getting to know us!   Knowing that we still had two more cats to be seen, Dr. Zeller was considerate about treatment planning, and suggested that we see what the other kitties might need before scheduling a costly procedure for Cali.  This was a very different approach than what we were used to with other vets, who typically recommended several expensive tests and treatments without consideration of the financial burden.  But most importantly, Dr. Zeller and his staff are incredibly compassionate and generous.  A few months after that initial visit, Cali became very ill.  Dr. Zeller called us weekly to check-in on her progress and never made us feel rushed (no matter how many questions we had).  He was willing to have the most difficult (and honest) discussions about end-of-life care and this has made all the difference for us.  I'm not one for gushing reviews, but I really can't say enough about how lucky we feel to have found the amazing people over there.

I've been taking my pets to these guys for what seems like forever and I wouldn't go anywhere else! All the doctors are amazing, especially Dr. Zeller!!! The staff up front is extremely nice and friendly and always willing to assist me when I need an appointment or if I have an emergency! I highly recommend them to eveyone I know who has a pet.

Maple Small Animal Clinic has always been an excellent experience. One particular thing that stands out is that when my dog was diagnosed with lymphoma, we transferred all his care over from Maple Small Animal Clinic to an oncologist. Dr. Eugene Zeller was there for us every step along the way, calling to check in and touch base. His care an support (and that from the whole office!) meant so much to us through the whole ordeal. Read Less

You guys, I am a wimp at the vet. We recently adopted a shelter pup who needed ALL the tests- because who knows what's happened until now- & Dr. Schmidt was wonderful- with both me and my dog! Spent a ton of time with us and was great when new pup was, er, less than charming. Read Less

I've been taking my older cat to maple small animal clinic for about a year now, and they are wonderful! I can usually get an appointment within a few days, and I'm never left waiting too long in reception. What really sealed their 5 star status for me, however, was how unbelievably kind and compassionate they were with me during my  second kitten's illness. Dr. Brasher was so patient and caring with me, which made the whole ordeal that much easier. The whole staff really cares about you and your animal, and I highly recommend them! Read Less

We've been taking our dogs to Gene Zeller for nearly 30 years and have always appreciated his knowledge, kindness, and compassion for owners and pets alike. We have also had the opportunity to be treated by the other wonderful vets in the office - Emily Lemann, Brian Hill, Erica Brasher, and Sharon Schmidt, who have all shown the same compassion and passion for their work, and by the wonderful vet techs who've been there for quite some time and know all the pets by name. Our dogs are always excited to go to Maple Small Animal Clinic, as they know they'll see their friends who lovingly help them through everything from cleaning their teeth to helping them through the final moments of their lives. We feel so very lucky to be a part of the Maple Small Animal Clinic family!!! Read Less

I couldn't imagine taking my pets anywhere else.  Drs. Zeller, Hill and Lemann have been taking care of my crew for more than 15 years.  Whether it has been just regular annual visits or the more difficult end of life decisions, they have all been fabulous.  We usually see either Dr. Hill or Dr. Emily depending on schedules and availability.  (I like that my pets get to know and feel comfortable with both drs.) If something serious is going on Dr. Zeller ('the old master') always stops in to check up on us.  Even the techs seem to know and love my pets.   I couldn't recommend them more!  :) Read Less

Daisy and I had a great experience here. Sure, it's not the shiniest and fanciest vet around, but you can tell that every person you come into contact with is an animal nut just like you. We got $10 off our initial visit by having our new client form ready. We got there about 8-10 minutes early and were taken into the exam room right on time.The people who I interacted with at the desk were sweet and informative and fawned over my lil pup. Once in the exam room, the vet tech took the time to make sure my shy dog was comfortable and warmed up to her. After some preliminary questions, the doctor arrived shortly. Again, she was calm and let my dog warm up to her before starting the exam process. She was great at answering all of my billion annoying questions, I think she could sense that I'm a helicopter dog mom, hah! Her answers were thorough and honest, and I never felt pressured into any decision or product. Although my dog was very nervous, they were very gentle and loving with her. Best of all, I felt the opposite of rushed. The doctor really took the time to hear my concerns and discuss with me my options.We had been previously been going to a big box, corporate vet and never again! The care that this practice shows is worth going across town for. I also found the prices to be very reasonable: after my $10 off, my annual exam (no shots) and an ointment that she needed came out to about $63. An annual round of shots (incl 3 year rabies shot) with an annual exam is $179. We also got a dental consultation and the vet was kind enough to remember to print out a price and information sheet for that. While getting a professional teeth cleaning is pricey (~$300+ for a small dog without xrays), the vet was honest in telling me about how often it would be needed as long as I took care of her teeth in the meantime.I'm happy to be a new client at Maple Small Animal Clinic. Read Less

They're amazing! I love them. My dog doesn't have a lot of problems, so I only go in once a year. Even so, an employee stopped me when I was out and remembered me and my dog's name! They're GREAT with animals of all kinds.I had my dog's teeth cleaned, and they took before and after x-rays, which is something all vets should do but something vets don't always actually do. They did it here, which is a sign of quality. They also wrapped up her extracted teeth in a little gift bag for me, which I found to be gruesome, but it does show their thoughtfulness for pet owners.I moved out of this neighborhood and still go out of my way to go here. They do great work and I highly recommend them. Bring your babies here! Read Less

Just moved back home from Chicago and hadn't selected a vet for my cat yet. Then we had an urgent situation and I needed to find one fast. I called Maple Small Animal Clinic and they were so nice and squeezed us in right away. My cat gets car sick and always throws up on the way. They took her right back and cleaned her and her carrying case right away. I've had bad vet experiences before where it seemed like a factory and no one actually cared about the animals. But these people were so nice and treated my cat as if she were their own. We saw Dr. Emily and was really impressed with the level of care, both at the office and follow up phone calls. Would definitely recommend. Read Less

Funny that someone said that Maple Small Animal Clinic wouldn't take payment for a first visit for a newly adopted pet. I just adopted a dog from the LASPCA and called there to check prices. I was told that regular visits are $56-- $60 for a first visit. NO thank you! I'll head down to Southern Animal Foundation, where they'll get her in for $30. Read Less

My dog loves his vet. And, so do we. Everyone in the office is helpful and prompt. No waiting and no fuss. They are informative on every doggy topic that we encountered with a new pet. They were also very accomodating to a tough schedule. Read Less

Started using this clinic since I live so close.  Everyone is SO nice and helpful.  Never felt rushed.  I had just adopted a dog from Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter and they wouldn't charge me for our first visit!  They also asked for enough time to get to know my pup and establish a relationship with us.  They rocked.  I also needed some meds on two different occasions and they made it so simple.  Nice to feel like they care about me and my pup. Read Less

We've been taking our four critters (3 canine, 1 ancient feline) to Maple Small Animal since moving to NOLA 3 years ago, and I can only wish that my health care was like this. We've never had to wait more than a week for an appointment, and that was because Dr. Hill was away on his honeymoon. Usually it's same or next day. A few times the spouse has had "do we need to bring him in?" questions, and he was able to speak with the doctor and not the doctor's nurse's assistant's receptionist. During the appointments, Dr. Hill talks with you as long as necessary and answers all your questions as well as asking relevant ones to get to the bottom of an issue. If a specialist referral is necessary, you get all the information you'll need going in. Once we picked up some medication after the computers had been turned off for the day, and we were allowed to take the meds and just pay the next day. Read Less

I love this vet clinic. Amusingly, the vets, techs and receptionists remember my pets names more often than my name! But that's the way I like it. To me, that means that our pets are at the forefront of their minds. As for the allegations that they charge too much, or that certain vets here charge too much, I've never had that problem. If I'm having a cash-flow issue, they will work with me on payments and only administer vaccines or other medication if it's absolutely necessary. I honestly believe that everything they do or recommend is only for your pet's benefit. Whether you follow their recommendations is up to you, but I've found when I ignored their advice (like brushing my dog's teeth regularly) it has ended up being an expensive problem to fix (getting his teeth professionally cleaned almost broke the bank.)I cannot recommend this vet clinic more highly. Everyone who works there (save one or two grumpy techs) is very kind and caring and they love your pets almost as much as you do! Read Less

I love this vet.  Even after I moved up to Lakeview, I still take the time out of my day to drive into the uptown/riverbend muck to take my kitties to see Dr. Emily.  I do agree with Chris L. that I have sometimes felt stuck with charges that I didn't necessarily ask for (my kitten has a microchip now after her recent spay - when I had specified that I would let them know my decision upon admission and did not do so), but they have a generous return policy.  Also, when you let Dr. Emily know that finances are a concern, she is very up front about charges.The service is fast and friendly, and the staff are personable and interested in your animals.  They remember details from visit to visit, something I think is rather unusual for such a busy place.  They don't board pets, but will accommodate their regular customers by referring dependable pet sitters.  The vets make themselves available after hours and on weekends, and will call you to check up on your animal anytime they have been ill or have recently undergone a procedure. Read Less

I like these vets with one major qualification.  You should DEFINITELY avoid one of the three vets... Emily Lemann will load you up with services you don't need so that she can charge you a hefty bill.  The other two vets, Drs. Hill and Zeller are very fair.  All of them are quite competent and personally nice.  But after a couple of trips when Emily charged me for several unnecessary shots (which she gave the dog w/o asking me), and charging for the high end heart worm medication w/o asking what I needed - I realized my bill was a good 50% higher than with the other two vets.  Problem solved though - they'll let you pick your vet when you make an appointment.  I like Dr. Zeller best. Read Less

Great clinic. Scheduling is easy, never left waiting, staff is incredibly kind and professional and all obviously love their jobs and love animals. Our cat and dog see Dr. Hill and we are thrilled thus far. Sometimes we think he forgets we're in the room for a second when he's enthralled with playing with our cat or dog. He explains everything, is always available to answer questions, and clearly loves our pets. Read Less
