For years, my parents have taken our family cats to Lakewood Veterinary Hospital, and have been happy (much happier than the previous vet clinic). Now that I have my own two cats, it made sense to go here. WRONG! While the Veterinarians are absolutely qualified, it's their staff that has turned me from this hospital. Every time I call on the phone, their unwelcoming greeting is muffled, and I have to double check to see if I even called the correct place. After explaining the purpose of my call, I get a, "Okay, we have an appt this time. Huh? Wait, what did you want done again?" I mean really?? I specified exactly what I wanted and you weren't listening that whole time?!I ask for a break-down of costs and it's a unprofessional guess on prices. She replied, "Well I don't know, it'll be whatever the Vet tells me. It'll be below $200, that's for sure" (laughs). Seriously, I don't want a guess with laughter to make it "light-hearted"So the Techs or Front Desk people have prevented me from going back here. The facility itself is rather dated and feels like I'm stepping back into the 70's. The prices are rather high too. I thought I was paying for quality but after going to another clinic where the staff was professional, caring, and helpful, I realized Lakewood Veterinary Hospital was definitely overcharging.Super disappointed in how this place has evolved...or more like devolved.
