Lake Pointe Veterinary Hospital

Too Frigid and too Rigid...While the vets and service staff at ACAH have been adequate, the upper management and policy makers lack basic people skills that make such a difference when choosing any service, especially one that relates to our fur babies. Be sure you read the fine print, because you will be constantly reminded that “you signed something”....”you signed something”...”you signed something”...apparently in blood at ACAH! I was charged for two consecutive months after a wellness program for my dog had ended, and recently, when I was in a bind and had to board my rescue pup for the weekend, I was not able to get her out a day early because I would be arriving after 3:00 on a Saturday, since they "didn't know when the caretaker would be stopping by" and that "the caretaker doesn't do checkouts." The person that called me back to verify that they would not arrange to let me connect with the "caretaker" (sounds like a funeral home), was rude and as cold as ice. Therefore my little, 6 lb. terrified rescue pup was held captive another day because "you signed something." The dungeon like appearance of the kennel proved to be the jail cell that it looked like! Don't worry, ACAH, I will never "sign something" with you again! Read Less

Dr. Dan Meakin and his staff went above and beyond 2 weeks ago for our family dog Sadie (9 yr old Neapolitan Mastiff). They did an after hours GDV (twisted stomach) surgery because our family vet unfortunately didn’t have enough staff/time that day and the emergency vet was so costly that we couldn’t afford it. After coming to the realization that we may have to put her down, (given the situation and her age as a large breed dog), we reached out to All Creatures with a hope and prayer and they gladly answered! Thank goodness! Sadie went through surgery fine and recovered like a champ! All Creatures was calling me with updates while inpatient and follow ups after discharge to make sure she was ok. More so, just prior to us finding out Sadie needed surgery and after she was brought home, she was able to give comfort by laying at my mom’s bedside during her last days here on earth. That’s priceless! Thank you All Creatures Dr. Dan Meakin and all the staff (Lauren and Georgia) for allowing us to have our Sadie home and well! Kara F. Read Less

I don’t appreciate being accused of lying to try and get a hundred dollars back. I would gladly pay that and more if Kylo was alive and with someone else. As I have said many times now just keep the money and take Kylo off your reminder list it’s so painful to think about how he’s not alive to get routine things done such as his teeth cleaned or get a shot. It’s been a painful loss and I have cried many tears due to his passing. you can be as nasty as you want but Kylo is dead and has been since the day after he jumped out our window on January 1st. That is just the latest issue I had with All Creatures. There have been many concerns through the years. For example I had Kylo neutered when we first got him and the vet was also supposed to take a place off his leg to make sure it wasn’t cancer. When I picked him up they had not taken the place off his leg so the poor dog had to go back through another surgery to remove the spot. We had another incident where Kylo needed stitches I took him in on a Friday morning at 7:00am to get his wound stitched since he was going to be in the kennel for the week. I called on Saturday to see how he was doing and I found out he not even seen a vet. I was told that I now was going to need to pay extra to have him stitched on Saturday. When I asked why he wasn’t looked on Friday since I brought him out there at 7 in the morning the lady became very rude and told me I should have brought him on Thursday evening. I had to explain that my youngest was bit by another dog and I had to take him to Children’s to make sure he was ok. I have way to much going on in my life to be accused of lying and be harassed by the vet on whether my dog is dead. It was also very upsetting that you accuse me of being neglectful on my dog’s injury when I brought him as soon as I could. It seems to be a way to deflect your own mistake. That seems to be a pattern. You can look that up in your documentation. I’m done with this conversation. My recommendation to anyone reading this is to go somewhere else where your integrity won’t be attacked and you will get equally as good if not better Care for your pet. The good did not out weigh the bad. This experience has been down right painful. Read Less

Your “legal documentation” is obviously inaccurate. Your defensiveness and failure to do any follow up with me says a lot about how you handle problems with your customers. We unsuccessfully tried to rehome Kylo in the fall. Whomever took that call must have miss understood the sequence of events. I can prove his death, and please stop questioning our integrity. I noticed you didn’t ask for any proof... you stick with your inaccurate assumption that your customer is lying. I sincerely hope your office can learn something from this. Update: Kylo died on 1/2/18. I know this as a fact because I had to take a day off work to handle the situation myself. This was a very traumatic event (and still is) for our entire family because Kylo was a huge part of our lives. I would be more than happy to provide the proof. He was disposed at the Hamilton County SPCA. This documentation was never requested by your office. It’s very startling that you would make assumptions and question our integrity. We have paid for four months of care since his death... it’s not about the money to me, but how poorly you have handled this. Original post: Do not buy into their pet wellness plans. Our dog died, and they continue to charge the monthly fee four months after his death. We have talked to their staff three times and the charges are still coming. They just lost a loyal long time customer. Read Less

I removed my comment because I received a personal phone call from the owner (months ago but now leaving another one because of a more recent experience)... the first review I left I got a call saying "I dont appreciate you leaving bad reviews about my practice" he also accused me of lying and having my times off. I will never go here again... all my friends and family hate this unorganized, dirty, facility. Your appt at 11??? Expect to leave at 3pm. You want pain medicine for your female kitten who just got spayed? Theyll say no then call and say they forgot it.(that happened twice). I really appreciate everything this facility does for foster animals and shelters. And honestly its probably not the staff either, they look extremely short handed. I reccomend all creatures animal hospital... not this facility though. Hope this helps.. only leaving this review because I love animals... or else I wouldnt waste my time... hoping not to get another phone call. Read Less

Dr Dan Meakin saved my cats life and is a wonderful vet and person. I highly recommend trusting him with your pets. Prices all fair. Giving 4 stars because up front staff and customer service reps have unnecessary attitudes. Read Less

They prescribed Mometamax for my sisters dogs ears and the dog is completely deaf now. He was before the medicine. Turns out the risks are known and they did not disclose them. They’re now shifting blame. Careless pet care and substandard care. Read Less

We moved to OH from NJ (Feb 2017). For 15 years, we had the most wonderful Vet in NJ & we couldn't imagine finding a comparable Vet practice. Sadly our 12-yr-old male Dalmatian died suddenly in April (before we knew about All Creatures). When our new Dal puppy joined the family in June, we asked fellow pet families "who do you recommend in Cincinnati?" We are SO glad that they referred us to All Creatures! We live in Amberley Village & it's worth the drive to the Anderso...n & Amelia facilities. We love the fact that the Amelia office has Sunday hours! We met with many of the Vets in both offices: all have been excellent listeners & very thorough. All of the staff in both offices are friendly, professional, efficient & so dedicated. They make you feel like you are special & they spend whatever amount of time that is needed in order to address the health issue at hand. We've also been attending training classes at Amelia & we take advantage of 'Board & Train' with Michael Snively, an excellent trainer. Our female Dal pup was spayed at the Amelia office this week & she is recovering beautifully. All Creatures Animal Hospital is outstanding! Afficher la suite Read Less

We love all the vets and staff. They are very knowledgeable, kind, caring, and respectful. This is a place that treats animals of all kinds. We have taken wild baby bunnies, bearded Dragon, birds and dogs there. You can't find a better place to take your pets! Read Less

My dog Sheldon had a great first time visit today. I felt at a loss when Sheldon's veterinarian retired and spent a month researching potential veterinarian hospitals. Dr. Stanley and the staff were more then understanding of Sheldon's anxiety and all the questions I presented. They ensured to take time with both Sheldon and myself while providing quality care. I appreciated how Dr. Stanley and the team viewed Sheldon's visit from a holistic concept which encompassed not only physical health but social and behavioral health as well. Read Less

God bless the staff! Our 1 yr old chihuahua was attacked by a swarm of ground hornets. They were the only place that would see Jakey, within a 1 hour radius of where we were. All places were either closed, or wouldn't take him since he wasn't an existing patient. All Creature Animal Hospital took him back immediately and eased his pain. Jakey will make a full recovery and we thank the staff for that! Read Less

As far as I'm concerned Dr. Dan Meakin that's one of the best that's around. He is saved three of my dogs the been really sick the could've died. He is faded all three of my cats. And when I recognize that my cat that I had is the name was Micky took him in and Dr. Dan immediately found out he had two massive tumors of cancer in his intestines therefore we had to put him down had no choice. As far as I am concerned I wouldn't take any of my animals anywhere else because he has done an awesome job on taking care of all of my animals! I would highly recommend him to anybody if they want to Good Vet. Dr. Dan has done a lot for the community in saving animals and working with people who have that's that need help . Also was second chance which helps wildlife animals also. Hats off Dr. Dan Meakin you are one of the best ! Read Less

Lets see where do I start......ZERO STARSMy dog Tuna was almost a full bread sharpei rescue, she was barely five years old when I had to put her down last night. I've been taking my dogs to all creatures for shots and normal things that basically a vet tec could do on their first day since they were puppies.  When Tuna got sick in mid may she was having bloody diarrhea. I took her in to all creatures a few days after I noticed it, and the pumpkin, chicken, rice didn't clear it up. The first vet couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, her symptoms pointed toward giardia.  I specifically asked the lady vet to do not only do a fecal smear instead of the typical float they would do and also a urine analysis since she was squatting and hovering a few times before she would urinate. She ignored me, did neither and couldn't figure out what was wrong with my dog.  Okay fine.... so we go back the next week for you guessed it a fecal smear! Hooray another vet visit bill specifically to do this test that I asked for specially the week prior.  This time we see Dr. Dan, apparently he's supposed to be the best, WRONG.  Dr. Dan was so preoccupied trying to get me to book his band he performs in at my bar, versus focusing on my dog and once again I asked for a urine analysis. He told me we definitely did not need to do that test it wasn't anything to do with bladder, kidney, liver...... okay Dr. Dan after about five more visits of his consistently charging me for everything he could even think of and never doing a urine analysis even with one of his vet techs at the mount Washington  location agreeing that it needed to be done.  He put her on a special diet, guess what you can only buy this special food from his vets office!  Five visits later and over $1,000 in vet bills he tells me he wants to do a colonoscopy on my dog, another $1000.  This is a very invasive procedure to do on any animal, let alone one that has been extremely ill for months. I immediately contacted a vet friend who lives in Arizona, she advised me to not get the colonoscopy and to 100% get a second opinion. Tuna has been a high energy dog her whole life, so even after being extremely ill for months she was still acting normal for a dog so Dr. Dan wasn't concerned. A friend of mine recommended MED VET. Tuna was at MED VET for TWO HOURS, let me repeat that TWO HOURS before they knew what was wrong with her. By a simple urine analysis and an ultra sound not an invasive procedure on a sick animal. Tuna had MAST cancer and had Dr. Dan done a simple urine analysis test he would have been able to see her elevated test levels. She had surprise a giant mass on her LIVER! I am not blaming Dr. Dan for my dog getting sick, but he had the tools needed to diagnose her. Had he been able to do his job effectively.  I would have been able to at least enjoy her last months/weeks even. Nope this past Wednesday August 9th 2017 Tuna was diagnosed at MED VET. Friday August 11th 2017, she had to be put down due to the difficulty she was having breathing. Not even two full days after learning my dog was critical I lost her.We will not even get in to the fact that when I contacted all creatures about potentially putting her down humanely that after it was done they were going to put my dog, my BEST FRIEND in a freezer until they could cremate her.  After being scolded by another male vet for not wanting them to freeze my dog I took Tuna put her back in the car and called angel paws to come to our home and put her down, not in some creepy dim lit room covered in religious  paraphernalia and a Bookcase of urns. All Creatures you suck I can only hope that someone will nail your ass in a lawsuit against malpractice very soon, who knows it might be me. PS: Dr. Dan stop giving your CDs to people who spend over $300 dollars in your veterinary office. You aren't doing anyone favors. Read Less

The staff at All Creatures is amazing! They take the time to walk you through difficult decisions and give you multiple options. Without their hard work and dedication my cat Ty would not be with us today. After 6 days inpatient our boy was able to come home. They called daily to check on his progress and even squeezed me in for a quick recheck when my mama nerves took over. Ty is almost back to normal and it's due largely to the amazing and caring staff :) Thank you so much! Read Less

If I could rate it solely on the type of care we got from the nurse/vet assistant, it would be a 5 star. She was caring, understanding and patient with us. Thank you to her. Unfortunately for an honest review, I have to add our experience with the actual vet, Dr Dan. We brought in my daughter's pet chameleon because he was only exotic pet vet we could get into on a Sunday, even though he was 45 min away. My 15yr old daughter was crying and visibly upset that her loved pet was... very sick. The vet may be knowledgeable but his bedside manner in dealing with patients leaves a lot to be desired. He was very short with us, kept interrupting me when I was explaining concerns etc, and left us with the impression he thought, "it's just a lizard". Several times the bluntness of how he talked DEFINITELY could have been softened to take into account that you are also servicing customers who are bringing in a loved pet. As soon as he left the room and we were alone, my daughter and I both voiced our concern that we didn't care for his lack of compassion and attitude that we were wasting his time. We were offered to leave Misha in their care for treatment but declined and explained to the nurse we were not comfortable leaving her there overnight. Mostly in our minds because we doubted the vet would give much care to her. One of his first bluntly directed questions was "how committed are you?" I realize pricing needs to be discussed but it should be done with tact. The nurse was able to do that with us. Again, the nurse was wonderful and understanding and gave us several treatment plans to do at home, which we opted for. Sadly Misha passed away last night. My daughter is heartbroken. We were disappointed that we did not feel the vet treated us like an important client, no matter the type of pet we brought in. We still were paying customers and deserved to be treated with more understanding by him. If that is his attitude about exotics, maybe he should not be listed as a practicing vet for them. And I hope that is not his bedside manner for all his patients. I can't remember her name but thank you to the nurse who showed us the type of care you expect in these situations. She was wonderful, thank you. Afficher la suite Read Less

The Amelia location continues to wow me. I have had some poor pet care in the past, but not these guys. They are the best! I have been there with a newborn puppy, young dogs, and a senior dog. Last night the DR waited for me to get there instead of me having to go to MedVet. All the Doctors I have seen are great with our dogs. I have one that is a bit timid and the doctors and technicians are able to handle him with kindness still. Read Less

I want to say how much I appreciate everyone who helped save Hercules. Dr Stanley was kind, thorough and so patient when we came in on emergency. All the technicians were kind, caring and happy to answer all my questions. Dr. Olsen was amazing and I'm so thankful for all she has done. I was so worried about him. I thought he needed an exploratory surgery for a blockage. All the Doctors worked as a team and assured me waiting giving him time that it wasn't needed. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!! Hercules is home, on the mend, eating, and things are improving. Thank you to all the wonderful caring technicians who were so patient with me, and so caring. Thanks for taking care of my boy !!! I'd give you 10 stars if it would let me. Read Less

My dog received vaccines here and he was fine for the first 24 hours then he began to vomit, diarrhea and became lethargic. I called the vet office and they said to bring him back in. When I got there Dr Meaken and the assistant immediately did a parvo test. About 10 minutes later Dr Meaken comes back in and says that my dog tested positive for parvo. I said €are you sure it€s not just a reaction to the vaccines because he was perfectly fine before the vaccines€. He disagreed and assured me that it was parvo. The estimate was around 1,000 dollars for about 3 to 4 days of my dog staying there. Both the assistant and Dr Meaken were being rather aggressive about me leaving my dog with there. He was talking about money and she was raising her voice about how the test was a strong positive. I just had a bad feeling about their whole approach, so I mentioned that I wanted to get a second opinion. Then his assistant got an attitude and told me that it did not matter where I take him he there going to say the same thing. They were really pressuring me! I stepped out in the hall to make a call, while my daughter stayed in the room with our dog. I could hear them in the exam room saying that we were making Dr Meaken late and he said he was not even going at this point. They said it in a tone, as if they were trying to make us feel bad. It was so unprofessional! I ended up leaving with my dog after paying a 140.00 bill. The next morning my dog felt better and was acting somewhat normal. By the 3rd day he was acting lethargic again, so I took him to a vet office that my co worker suggested. They did a parvo test that came back negative, but this vet suggested 2nd parvo test because sometimes you can get a false negative or positive. He suggested that my dog stay overnight. The next day they did another parvo test and blood work. The 2nd parvo test came back negative too. This vet thought maybe he was just sensitive to the vaccines. Remember I tried suggesting that to Dr Meaken who disagreed with me. Even if Dr Meaken did truly get a positive on that parvo test, I don€t understand why he did not want to do another parvo test. With the way they were acting (all about money and a lot of it) I did not trust what they were saying. I just had a really bad vibe and I am so glad I chose to leave with my dog. One last thing about Dr Meakens office, the exam room had every different shade of dog hair in it and a blood splat on the floor about an inch long. The other vet office I visited was not like that at all. Read Less

Incompetent, rude vets. Prices are outrageous, they don't care about the animals, just money. They charged me for services I've never received. They've made my dogs sick, one got toe nail fungus, after having her nails clipped there. Instead of trying to work these problems out, they want to argue. Read Less

I would have given a big fat goose egg if I could've. This place is a total joke. All they want is your money. They do not care about you or your pet. We took our 4 month old kitten in yesterday and was given an estimate of 450-700 without even giving us a diagnosis. When we told Dr. Raab that we would like to start and see what they can tell us for 200 they treated my husband like he was the scum of the earth! Their credit card machine and computers were acting up all day according to Courtney. Clearly Dr. Raab needs to learn some compassion for people and their animals. My husband was there for almost 3 hours yesterday and they pretty much told us that our kitten had Panleukopenia. This is pretty much a death sentence and there is nothing much that can be done. My husband went ahead and paid $182 for the medication and we took our kitten home in hopes we could keep him comfortable until he passes. Well at 7:30 last evening I came home to what I thought would most likely be my kitten dead. Little to my surprise he started walking and eating on his own. As of this morning he was almost back to his sweet loving self and even drank and ate on his own once again! To say this place is a disgrace is too nice. The only thing I can be thankful for is I hopefully she was put behind for the rest of the day and never caught up. She is a horrible person to make someone feel that way! I believe she made a rash decision to just suck money out of our family and did not even care if our cat made a recovery or not! I pray that no one ever has to go through what we did and this place knows how awful of a vet she is. I could honestly go on for a while about this but I do not wish to waste anymore of my time. I wish to spend time with my sweet little Crushman! Please get your act together and get rid of that heartless person that calls herself a vet!Read Less

Very professional, kind and caring throughout the process, from diagnosis through Mightus' journey across the rainbow bridge a few weeks later to a sympathy card arriving a week after. This was my first experience having to put a furbuddy down, and although it was a devastating blow to our family, All Creatures did everything in a professional and courteous manner to ease our grief. I would highly recommend All Creatures Animal Hospital for all your pet needs. Read Less

Update; again the staff is amazing. Spoke to the front desk to a girl named Tommi (I hope I spelled her name correctly) she went FAR AND ABOVE what a normal person would be willing to do! She was awesome. Great help! The Facility is nice, clean, well lit. The staff were friendly and seemed to care strongly about the animals they register. However the vets seemed frustrated, short, and really didn't seem to care one way or another. With that being said, I would like to note that this could have been due to being over worked, or maybe case load too heavy. Read Less

I would like to thank all the staff for their expedient care they gave my 7 pound fur baby, Diesel, on Christmas Eve. He was involved in a horrific incident with my much larger dog. The swiftness of them taking in an animal they had never seen before, assessing him, stabilizing him, performing surgery, all the while trying to calm my husband, was truly a blessing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saving our little man! Read Less

I can't tell you more about how happy we are with the treatment our pet had while here! Dr Meakin was amazing and his staff were true professionals.

Took my dying puppy to Dr Dan. He spent HOURS working on her. Doing everything he could (after another vet clinic had her for 3 days) Unfortunately. I got her to him to late. But the compassion and care he gave her was more than I have ever seen from a vet before. From that day on, He will be my only vet. Thank you to you and your staff for all you did. I have since gotten a new puppy (pictured) and had her checked right away and all is good with her. Read Less

Came on a Sunday, knew it would take a little longer than usual but didn't know it was going to take 3 hours.... after giving my pup staples (because she had a decent size gash in her leg from climbing and falling on a cement block) I found they cut her with a razor while shaving and said nothing about it.... also this place is super expensive. $200 for 6 staples, and antibiotic medication.

I would like to thank Dr. Compton and the rest of the staff for their kindness and compassion they gave when I had to put my sweet dog to rest. He was almost 10 and was very sick. We went in hoping for help, but, sadly, we had exhausted all of our options in helping him. My sweet boy was suffering and we had to say goodbye. This was last weekend and my heart just hasn't been the same. Everyone involved made this so much easier than it could have been. The cost didn't cost us our mortgage either. Although we had a heartbreaking visit, I'm forever grateful for the wonderful care my dog received and the compassion his humans received. Read Less

While I have little feedback regarding the vet portion of this business I will say that I will never board another animal there. We boarded our Shepard mix while on vacation. We called every other day while away to check on her and no one ever really knew anything. That was our first sign. When I picked her up the staff was very tight lipped about her stay there. They brought her dog bed to me in a garbage bag and tossed her medicine in the bag as well. When we got home and went to pull her bed out it was literally dripping with urine! She has only rarely ever had an accident since a pup. To make matters worse we realized the next day that she was having problems urinating. We took her to our vet and she was urinating bright red urine. We are still not certain what happened there since we received absolutely no paperwork but it's been a month and we are STILL having to have her treated. We are about $400 in vet bills to date and she is still having issues. She will be going back yet again this week. If you truly care for your animal do your homework before choosing a boarding service. They will NEVER see us there again. Our vet has mentioned possible abuse. Makes us sick.Read Less

I want to thank the whole staff,the attention,and detailed work ,was unreal.I have never felt so informed about my pets health,and so confident in the staff that took such great care of them.My German Shepard,Bella,was there for an ear infection,which I had no idea how to take care of her.You guys are awesome.Within just these few hrs.she acts like a puppy again.She is 4 yrs old.Thanks Dr. Dan ,and your staff.5 stars from my family.

Imagine you come back from happy hour at the pool to find your lab has had a happy hour of his own. Two giant Hershey bars, a bag of chocolate chips, and 8 ounces of ham later google led me to All Creatures Animal Hospital. I called at 5:51pm they close at 6pm, and it's the Friday kicking off Labor Day Weekend! But this was an emergency and they said "No problem at all, bring him in!"Not only was my pup welcomed with opened arms, the staff was simply unbelievable handling it all at the latest possible hour. From Misty's warm greeting at the front desk to Sarah's delicate care as his tech, and Dr. Raab who was staying late anyways to tend to another pup just coming out of surgery, was patient and empathetic and explained everything that was going to happen. Will was a good patient and made it all in the bowl. Then we took his drunk ass home to sleep it off.  The pleasantly shocking part about the whole experience was the bill. $145 for all of it. Where I live, I would expect $500 easy.The staff is excellent, the facility is clean and bright, and no offense but I hope we can just send business your way but don't have to see you anytime soon :) Read Less

I go to either the Anderson or the Amelia location.  There are no other Vets for me!We have had 2 cats and 2 dogs since we found this vet and before finding "All Creatures Animal Hospital"  we had really high bills and marginal care for our pets.These people have animals themselves but they do no expect you to endure payments higher than your mortgage to keep pets healthy.  They spay and rescue animals and offer them for adoption.  Our little "Scrappy" is a rescue from this place and we LOVE the boarding service out in Amelia.Our basset "Dude" was cared for at All Creatures before we finally had to make the difficult decision to put him down and you will not find more caring and loving people to take you through that process.  The husband and wife team that normally cares for our pets were out and we had a great Dr. England and another lady "tag team" the situation and we got test results and assistance to help us make "end of life" decisions for the coolest dog we'd ever loved........don't go anywhere else!

This place is awful. I had the stupid idea to trust them with declawing my cat. They told me all the options and what they wanted to do and I opted out for the kitty spa package. After she was done with her surgery I went to pick her up and there were about an extra 200 dollars worth of charges. Ironically charges I put my signature next to (saying no I didn't want this) were on the bill! I immediately said I had said no to these things and they were reluctant to remove the charges. After I got my baby home I had her recycled litter set and a nice soft bed waiting. She laid down and apparently her "stitches" were not stitches at all but they had glued her open wounds together hoping it would hold! This to me is total neglect! They charge me for the full scale operation but short changed my babies comfort not to mention when she ripped it open she had blood everywhere. I was so upset!
