These are the best vets in this region. Dr. Pelletier is extremely skilled and cares about animals.

I've brought both of my cats to Lichtenberg and have been very pleased with each visit. They treat the animals with great care and kindness and are never rough when handling them. While the cats definitely don't enjoy the vet visits, they're put at as much ease as possible by the staff. The staff are also incredibly friendly and informative. The pricing for visits, medications, and tests/lab work are all quite fair. I've compared their pricing to other vets in the area (and other places I've lived) and Lichtenberg so far has some of the best prices for most services while other prices seem standard. Definitely an all around great clinic! Read Less

We have been bringing our cats--and now my new puppy--to Dr. Deb for years. She, the other vets, Andy, and staff are always prompt, informative, animal-friendly, and sensitive to what you might be going through as a pet owner. I was especially grateful to them when it was time to put down my beloved Lily (lilac point Siamese). They were understanding when I said I couldn't be the one to have her put down, but then supportive when I changed my mind because I didn't want her to suffer. And, of course, they were gentle with her when the time came. Thank you all. Read Less

We have nothing but praise for Dr. Deb and her staff at Lichtenberg Veterinary Hospital. Our pets have been in their care for more than 25 years, and will remain so. We have the utmost confidence in Dr. Deb, knowing that if necessary, she will refer out to another professional. Having a sick pet is riddled with anxiety. She treats all, both two-legged and four-legged, with tender care and compassion. Questions are encouraged and always answered. Laughter and tears, shared. LVH is a thoroughly great place! Read Less

Cindy Meaux at Shady Glen Boarding Kennel Dr. Deb, Andy, and their wonderful staff have always treated my pets with love and compassion. The routine care is excellent, but even more than that, they have been there for us in an emergency. When my 14 year old lab needed emergency care on a Friday evening, they told me to come right down. They are my veterinarians if I need advice/emergency care for my kennel. They have been amazing over the years--always here for me--even saving a dog's life who had to have emergency surgery. I highly recommend them to my clients who need a new veterinarian. Read Less

I am a new (Netflix) viewer to the show "The Incredible Dr. Pol". I was googling the show whilst watching and came upon your article on Pet Advisor of a couple of years ago. I read it with an open mind but was suddenly taken aback by your rude and ignorant snobbery. I was raised in Michigan. I enjoy lattes very much, just as I am quite sure that people from both Massachusetts and NYC (where half of my family lives) enjoy hot dogs and Budweiser. If you knew anything about MI, you would know it is considered by many in the industry to be the craft beer capital of the country, but that is beside the point. You revealed yourself to be a petty individual when you decided to make a commentary about a whole region of people while ranting about one doctor. I stopped taking your article seriously at that point. It's a pity that you didn't feel that you could get your point across without resorting to perceived insults. I am commenting here because you keep removing my comment on the blog.Read Less

Deb & company recently treated my aunt & uncle's beloved Golden, Seamus. He was an amazing boy. He was by my aunt's side through her long, hard won, battle with cancer. He delighted the neighbors with his daily visits & he was an efficient garbage disposal at home, along with a terrific "pre-rinser" for dishes in the dishwasher. He was our very special boy. Seamus was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cell cancer & they opted to amputate his leg in an attempt to save him. Although it was too late, Deb treated both Seamus & his people with so much compassion & professionalism. I recommend Deb & her crew to all. Her knowledge instills a confidence in patients that is invaluable when making tough decisions. Wonderful vet! Read Less

The partner vets leave rapidly. The owner vet frequently interferes with cases the junior vets are handling. In my case, my (critically ill) dog had 3 extra days to suffer before a simple diagnostic test (xray) was done (junior vet suggested and I agreed but by time my dog and I arrived, Dr L had talked her out of it and we tried something useless (special diet). I doubt my dog would have survived either way but at least I could have euthanized her earlier once we knew it was hopeless. Dr L and her spouse gouge you on routine care Read Less
