Best vet ever! You can spend your whole life looking and you will never find a person like Dr. Powers to care for the animals you love. She has been caring for my animals since her children were toddlers and they are now in college. Lakeside community a blessing of unbelievably magnitude has befallen upon you. Seize the opportunity and make your next vet appointment here. You will thrilled. Dr. Powers has helped my family through terrible pet injuries, deaths, as well as new starts with puppies and kittens. We lost our family dog unexpectedly due to tragic circumstances. Months later we obtained a young puppy and shortly thereafter, the puppy was playing with a kitten and took a claw to her eye on a weekend. Dr. Powers met me at her office on a Saturday morning to look at it. The puppy needed more care than Dr. Powers could provide that day and she sent us to an emergency clinic. for likely stitches to her eye. When the clinic wanted to remove our puppy's eye, I panicked and got Dr. Powers back on the phone. She walked the ER doctor through it and with her help and the help of an eye specialist in Arroyo Grande over the following weeks and months, we were unbelievably able to save the puppy's eye. Our dog's eye healed almost perfectly thank you to Dr. Powers. She is extremely accessible, caring, sensitive, respectful and honest. You simply could not ask for more (other than that she move back to SLO!). She has a very non-aggressive treatment approach and always presents you with options and allows you to make the decision right for your family. I have never felt pressured to run expensive tests or to provide expensive treatments. I personally appreciate Dr. Powers' small office and continuity in care. I failed to appreciate this until she moved her practice from SLO and I was forced to try other options in SLO. In this life your path will sometimes cross a very good person and when it does you know it. Dr. Powers is one of those people. read more

I was sad to see Dr. Powers leave SLO but I'm happy for the north county pet owners because they now have an outstanding vet in their area. I took my dog and two cats to her for several years. Dr. Powers has very impressive knowledge and experience. She knew the source of my dog's bad smell as soon as we entered. It had been misdiagnosed as an anal gland problem. Dr. Powers knew it was rancid oils in her fur, and the problem was solved. When there are a range of treatment options, Dr. Powers is very good at explaining them and their potential effictivess and costs. This was a relief, as I had previously taken my animals to a vet who always seemed to take the most aggressive approach and sneak in lots of extra charges. Dr. Powers has never done that. She gives the patient only what is needed, and the bill is reasonable. She has a common sense approach that I like. And of course my animals like her as much as I do :-) read more

Dr. Powers is a fantastic doctor! She has been our veterinarian for 17 years and has treated our own dogs, several of our foster dogs, and our cat. We trust her completely and recommend her whole-heartedly. We wish we humans could be her patients too!! Dr. Powers is loving, kind, compassionate, humble, and patient. She always takes the time to listen to and answer all of our (many!) questions. She strikes just the right balance of care--never over- or under-treating a medical condition. She is always mindful of doing what is best for your animal. Dr. Powers has a deep breadth of knowledge and experience and also stays current with the latest medical developments. We are so lucky to have her. read more

Dr. Powers is a down to earth, very knowledgeable veterinarian who works from her heart. She is very wise and understands how to communicate with my dog, Dakota. He is so excited to visit with her that he is not bothered by whatever treatment he needs. Dr. Powers always explains in clear language what is happening with Dakota and what my treatment options are so that I can make the best decision. For 8 years I traveled 25 miles to San Luis Obispo to receive Dr. Powers expertise and now I will travel 25 miles in the opposite direction to continue receiving her expertise. Dr. Powers is the best. You will love her expertise, wisdom and caring service. read more

Dr. Linda Powers has put down one kitty for my mother and two of mine, when there were no options left to sustain any type of quality of life for our dear cats. In heartbreaking as well as good times, she is the most compassionate vet I have ever met. I gladly travel 40 miles each way to have her attend to my feline friends. Today was a good day, as she cleared both of my newest kitties as being in great health. As always, thorough, friendly and a great feel for how to lovingly handle any pet during an examination. I cannot recommend anyone else to be trusted with my pets' health. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Powers. read more

We were so sad to hear she was leaving SLO. She is an amazing and caring Vet. She saved our rescue puppy's life. She wasn't even open, I was walking by while she was checking up on the remodel and she brought me in, gave me food and a tube to try and feed him, I didn't have a dime on me, with trust she gave me everything I needed to try and save his life. Made an appt. for the following Monday, have been going to her ever since. She is AWESOME. Not to mention "Bird" is a pretty hilarious bird. Love Dr. Powers, SLO is missing one great Vet. Sneijder sure misses her. :) read more

North County is a very blessed community with Linda Powers DVM opening a new practice. There are times I consider driving my pets to her practice from south Nipomo, that's what a great vet and person she is! I had since 2005 driven from south county to SLO for her expertise. Paso is a bit too far for me unfortunately! I first started taking my pets to Dr. Powers in 1992. I continued to bring my pets until she moved this year 2014; 22 years? Wow! It's worth it to take your animals into Lakeside Vet Clinic, you won't regret it and your pets will have a new friend! read more

We have had Dr. Powers as our veterinarian for more years and more pets than I can remember (well, almost - at least 25 years and many, many pets). She has provided great health maintenance for our kitties (including the strays that adopt us), and wise counsel during times of tough, terminal health issues. Compassionate, rational, and very intuitive, she provides what every conscientious pet-owner needs in a vet. If the 50 mile drive weren't so hard on the cats, I'd continue to go the new locale. Dr. Powers' new clients are fortunate to have her as a vet. read more

Dr. Linda Powers is such a caring and wonderful veterinarian, San Luis Obispo's great loss is North County's gain. My two 12 yr. old Bengal cats and yellow lab have been in her good hands since they were born. She really enjoys what she does and it shows. Recently she wrote a long detailed explanation for a new problem one of my cats had which calmed me down considerably. She knew I didn't really understand the verbal information. You can't go wrong taking your treasured pet to Dr. Powers. We wish her well in her new location. read more

Linda was our Vet in San Luis Obispo and she was not only our Vet but also a great friend to my wife, me and our dog Buddy. Linda took care of Buddy from the time we rescued him until he passed 15 years later. Buddy was about two when we rescued him and about 17 when he passed. I fully believe that one of the reasons that he lived so long is the great care that Linda gave him. She truly loved and cared for him as if he was her own. If you need a Vet in the North County of San Luis Obispo, Linda is the best. read more

Dr. Linda Powers is more than just a vet. We are heartbroken she left SLO, but we will be making the annual trip to her new office, it's certainly worth the drive! She is very gentle with Riley, my almost 8 year old lab - even when he's scared. She is so helpful with her calm demeanor and has always been so kind. Her advice is always perfect and calms my worrying mind. You can tell she really loves animals and loves her job. read more

Dr Linda Powers is a superb vet!! She keeps the treatment simple and conservative when possible, but knows when to be aggressive or creative when attacking an animal's problem. She took care of my two Siamese cats, years ago. Until her practice relocated, she guided me with raising and keeping healthy Cleo, my Beagle, and Punky, my tuxedo cat. When we 3 "old ladies" were ready for another, she helped us "adopt" Mischief. read more

Dr. Powers is just the best, most caring vet that we have ever taken our animals to (1 dog, 4 cats). She was right in sync with the care of our animals especially given that I am a very busy mom of three. She is very kind and down-to-earth and a perfect fit with our family (both human and animal!). We were so sad that she relocated but know that she is making other animals healthy and happy at her new location. read more

We used to take our Yorkie to Dr. Power's clinic in San Luis Obispo until she closed her shop there after many, many years. Now she has a brand new, state-of-the-art office open near Paso Robles and we gladly make the drive from SLO to Paso, as she is 'The Best' when it comes to caring for your dog. She is very gentle and knowledgeable with animals...my Josie prefers going there, over any other vets office. read more

Dr. Powers is a wonderful, knowledgable, caring veterinarian, and a warm, funny, down-to-earth woman. She took extra special care of my dog Trea when I brought her in for anesthesia-free dental cleaning. Dr. Powers was the only vet in San Luis Obispo county to offer this type of dental cleaning and I hope she offers it in her new practice. We love Linda Powers! read more

Linda Powers, DVM is simply the best! We were sorry to see her leave SLO but the Paso area is lucky to have her. Linda diagnosed our 6 year old Labradoodle with a life threatening illness and turned our puppy's health around quickly and kindly. I suppose we will just have to drive up north and drop in for a visit and a cup of coffee with Linda sometime soon:) read more

Linda has been the vet to our animals since I was a kid, starting with a litter of kittens we found in a field to 5 dogs. She is an advocate for your animal. She is cognizant of cost and making educated decisions. She is the only vet that I truly trust with my animals. She is so helpful and will get you in to see her at the last minute. read more

Dr. Powers treated our cats and dog for over 12 years. She is very knowledgeable, skilled, gentle and respectful of animals and their care givers. She has immense integrity and works with dedication to give the best care possible. We lost a great vet and a good friend when she moved. I recommend her very highly. Jerry M. read more

Dr. Powers is state of the art veterinary. She was our vet for 11 years and some of the illness Penny & McDuff had required some research and the ability to explain them to us. She found the best solution and the problems were fixed. 5 Stars are not enough for this very excellent veterinary. McDuff & Penny read more
