Lineberger Veterinary Hospital

My neighbor is a disabled gentleman, his dog was hit by a car on Dec 13th 2017. He was in the hospital at the time and had given me permission to take her to the vet and have her seen. I feared the worst and of course I was told euthanasia was an option since I probably wasn't interested in a expensive surgery. So I decided to wait ended up going to a Urgent Vet in Belmont thanks to the caring ladies over there and I am happy to say the little girl not only survived but keeps getting stronger with every day. I am not happy with the emergency visit on Dec 13th but for regular visits maybe. Read Less

The concern at this place is about the money they make and not about the animals. The vet was hesitant to offer his advice because he overheard us speaking about how money is tight. He had no problem asking if he found anything wrong with my puppy if we would even be able to pay for it to be fixed. So rude and so disrespectful. I will NOT going back here and will not recommend it to anyone. Read Less

Our mini Schnauzer got really sick on a Friday night after our normal vet's office had already closed for the weekend. We started to panic that she might not make it through the weekend. I called Lineberger Animal Hospital Saturday morning hoping the would be able to see her since we weren't a patient of theirs. They got me an appointment for 30 minutes later and worked hard to find out what was wrong with our puppy. Dr Lineberger treated her and we were able to bring her home the same day. We were treated with respect, as was our puppy. The entire staff was courteous and you could tell they really care about the animals who come through the door. I would highly recommend them for your pets needs. Read Less

Dr. Lineberger and Dr. Lee are both great. They are caring, helpful and always give great options. Their staff is also wonderful. Everyone here understands your fur baby is more than just an animal and that they are a huge part of your family. Read Less

I have known Dr Lineberger for years. I even worked with him while I was in high school one summer through a school program. I have brought many pets to him but I won't ever again. I brought my pet in for a scheduled spay. This was scheduled weeks ago when I brought her in for a check up and she was brought current with ALL her vaccines. Today I bring in my girl as scheduled, having taken off work, with my sick daughter in tow, and they tell me she needs another vaccine (one she was already given and we had this conversation weeks ago when I was in there with her and she received all the necessary vaccines) and they won't do the surgery unless she has it. First the front desk check-in lady told me this and I explained that she already had it and I was told she wouldn't need it again. So she brings Dr Lineberger to the front and he was SO rude. He has never spoken to me like that before and I've known him for YEARS. All of my family have brought their pets there for years (at my urging) and so did I but that will not be happening anymore. I don't know what is going on with him and if it was just his attitude and how rude he was with me, maybe I would overlook it/chock it up to a bad day, but you are asking that I pay even more money for something that is not necessary in a time when money is tight for everyone. He spoke to me like I was trash, trying to kill everyone else's pets with my "unvaccinated" pet (ahem, she already had the vaccine) and he "just wasn't going to let me do that." If that vaccine was required AGAIN to do this surgery, it should have been required a couple of weeks ago when I brought her in and scheduled this but it seems you guys are hoping I would rather just pay the extra $$ than worry about the hassle of taking her elsewhere and wasting an entire day. However, that is not the case. It is not ok to treat your long-time clients like that, Dr Lineberger. Shame on you. I see I am not the only client that has written reviews about the way you've treated others and hidden costs. I remember the way you were years ago. I don't know what has happened to make this change in you, but it really is a shame. You were one of the best around. Read Less

What's not to love? I've been taking my three Cavaliers to Lineberger's for years. Everyone, from the front reception staff, to the techs, to the groomers, to the kennel staff, to the doctors are awesome. I've used every service they offer and my expectations have consistently been exceeded. I have always admired Dr. Lineberger and appreciated his knowledge, care, and concern for my dogs. Recently a new veterinarian, Dr. Lee, has joined the practice and I think he's wonderful! Super friendly and down to earth, very knowledgable, and stellar with the care he has provided my sweet girl, Elinor. I love this place! Read Less

Unimpressive at best. After explaining I had recently adopted an Exotic shorthair cat apprx 8yrs of age w/ an unknown history aside from verbal confirmation from breeder who had health issues and needed an immediate home for the pet. We were told Cat had all shots and the diet was Royal Canin so we felt cat was provided good care prior and shots weren't due again until summer. Dr there went on a super strange, endless rant about rabies vaccine which I had already stated at checkin to do boosters as soon as she was well enough. We came to these folks with a cat that had fallen ill w/ in the last 48hrs and she was fading very, very quickly. After the pointless continued rabies rant and crazy story about a bat could fly in my house and get my cat, all while the (assistant) held this dying cat down with her eyes bulging like she was a rabid mountain lion examine her! Dr continued on his rabies rant to throw in the insult of "I doubt you could afford to keep her here for 6 mos if she bites!" I am thinking omg this cat cannot lift her head! Help her get well, save your unwarranted insults and strange rants (as from step A I had suggested boosters!!??????) and help this cat before she passes. After the first failed attempt to get enough blood I called the game and said thanks but no thanks and we left. Phoned my husband and he said he would meet me and to go to our regular vet that was a bit more of a drive. It was worth it! Our reg vet was familiar with this breed and their mouth structure and flat-faced quirks, challenges etc. This was not the case at the Lineberger facility. So glad we now have a happy, healthy cat again! As a medical professional myself, I was flabbergasted at the how the visit went and the rant and financial digs! My family knows his former staff and some relatives and my hubby and I took our Boston Terrier to him many yrs ago. He did not remember. A very strange experience, maybe they had an off day???

Best vet we've ever used. The staff is friendly, very clearly loves animals, and the facility is always very clean. Prices are also extremely fair considering the great care and experience received. Great place! Read Less

These folks are amazing!! Dr. Lineberger and his staff were so loving and caring to my Molly and when I sat and cried as I held her for the last time, they were so supportive. Thank you for loving my sweet Molly!!! I sure do miss her!! Read Less

Dr. Lineberger is amazing!! He takes such wonderful care of both of our fur babies. He is patient, compassionate, understanding, and always has time to explain any issues your fur baby might be having!! I always feel like our concerns are addressed and he prepares you for difficult news but does it in a way that isn't so scary. His staff is wonderful as well!! Always willing to answer any questions or help you anyway they can. Thank you for taking such good care of our Chevy and Buji!! Read Less

We love our vet!! We've always loved Dr. Lineberger and then we met 12 year old Dr.Lee...not really he's at least 14. (Lol) they both take great care of our fur babies! (Without breaking the bank) We won't go anywhere else!! Read Less

Dr. L is the best vet we ever used. He kind and loving to all the animals. We had a yellow female lab puppy and grew old while the kids got older. She developed cancer later in her years and Dr. L gave her the best care and advice to us when it was finally the best time to put her asleep to keep her from any more pain. Our family was in so much pain when we took her to Dr. L for the last time to watch our baby girl being put to sleep. After Dr L saw our family in so much pain as you could tell that it bothered Dr. L also that he told his staff that he would not charge us for the sedation and told us how sorry he was that this the best decision for us to finally take her from any suffering that she was going through. Thank you Dr. L for everything you did for our baby. Read Less

We have been bringing our dogs to Dr Lineberger for 5 years. Once again today brought in our 5 year old bull mastiff for a foot injury. Dr Lineberger and his staff are caring and always give us the best options. They treat our Babies like their own.Read Less

I have been taking my pets to Dr. Lineberger since 2001. He has always done everything in the best interest of my furbabies. He and his staff are a caring group. They don't run unnecessary tests and they always keep you apprised of your pet's situation. I would 100% recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Lost my money and my dog. I just got a puppy a couple days ago, and after the next day I got him, he got sick. I though he just ate something bad. After a day, he stopped eating, drinking water, and lost a lot of weight. That's when I knew something serious is happening to my dog. I took him to this vet, cause I though it's a good vet after going through their website; but even that my dog was in a really bad shape, they made us wait for 20min. Then, they started doing some painful testes on him even that they knew he was dying, because he had an incurable virus that kill most puppies, just so the can charge me as much as they can. After that, he died 30min after we left the vet. I though a vet is suppose to save sick animals, I think these guys are just making money out of sick animals. they made my dog go through more pain than he was already going through. It cost me 132$ and watching my dog dying. I hope that 132& will help you to buy a new Conscience. Read Less
