Boy where do I start? Roots has been an absolute blessing to our lives over the past four years, and we are heartbroken to be moving away from them. Dr. Lassin has created a unicorn vet clinic, we have seen over half a dozen vets since we got our French bulldog, Brie, seven years ago and I can confidently say that every other vet pales in comparison to Roots. Brie has gone through so much with the Roots team and has been seen by Dr. Lassin, Dr. Sosa, and our favorite lady Dr. Jordan. We have always felt heard and seen by each one of them and the entire team has gone above and beyond to care for our girl through incessant allergies, an IVDD surgery recovery, ongoing UTIs, and more always offering holistic options when possible and weighing each and every scenario with us. Calling us back for updates (even after hours) and always being so patient with our feisty girl. There are no words that we can use to express our gratitude for all of the care and love this group of people have given to our fur baby over the past four years. Thank you is simply not enough, and if we ever find ourselves back in Austin, it won't even be a question of where we'll bring all of our future pets. We love y'all so much! read more

Roots Integrative Veterinary Care - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

I didn't go to them. $215 for a first initial exam and then the added fees for whatever you're needing. This place is actually a scam

Roots is awesome. If you know me, you know I'm super crunchy and holistic and this vets office is in alignment with my values. Check in was a breeze. Roots has a cute little room for the kitties with toys and hammocks. When the doc came in he had treats and catnip. Exam was super easy and they don't stick things up your kitties bum. Before anything is done, they explain and go over cost. Anna our vet tech was so good with my little Portal. She was great to talk, knowledgeable and so kind. For the holistic mama and papas out there, Roots is where its at! read more

Roots Integrative Veterinary Care - Patient room full of love and toys and hammocks and the Doc came in with treats and cat nip: so much love in this place - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

I seriously thought my cat was dying. I'd taken her several times to her previous vet and all they did was give her antibiotics and steroids. She had lost over 2 pounds and she was already a small cat! Dr Sosa quickly diagnosed her and now she's a new cat! I'll never take her anywhere else! Thank you!! read more

During the last several years of her life I had the great fortune of being able to have Roots provide care for my Senior dog. She was seen as a patient at Roots from May 2023 until her passing last month, Feb 2026. She was mostly treated by Dr. Sosa but also, occasionally by Dr. Lassen. The care provided by Roots is exceptional. Dr Sosa provided the best care that she could possibly have received. Kind, patient, caring, dedicated and knowledgeable. The staff was also wonderful. Roots provides both homeopathic (non-traditional) where practicable and DVM care as well. It is a well-rounded approach that assures that your pet will receive the best possible care at all times. I highly recommend Roots. They are exceptional! I very much appreciate the care that they provided to my fur baby. read more

Roots Integrative Veterinary Care - My fur baby - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

All of the people at Roots are extremely kind and you can tell they really care about animals. Dr. Sosa and Dr. Jordan handled our two senior cats with care and were very patient with my many questions and concerns. Unfortunately, they both passed away in September, but Roots followed up with me several times after they died and it was very touching. If and when we are ready to adopt more animals, we will not hesitate to take them back to Roots. read more

I took my English bulldog here ask for her eyes prescription to be refill. I fill out the paper work with my address. Call the place to see if her prescription was fill it was not. They need that so they could verify my prescription. OK. Then found out a week later with no prescription ready to be fill. It was the wrong prescription. Wow... call them back and they said I would get a call back and they would fix it. No call back Saturday Morning they hadn't call at all..... this is now 9 days ...talk with Wedgewood this whole time. Wedge did call one of my old vet they gave me 3 months so I could get my prescription. Now I paid Dr Sosa for this and nothing. He is expensive. That didn't matter i do need surgery done. I thought I found a vet who care and I was willing to let him do the surgery. Now I CAN'T USE THIS PLACE.... I dont trust them. This surgery would require the Prescription to be place right. Even if you call they dont call back and then its the weekend and you have to wait... wait more days before you can put eyes drop in your dogs eye. This is compound medicine. It takes time before you can get it.. Thank God My Old Vet gave me 3 months so I can go somewhere else and have things done right. I will not give a good referral of My First time here. This is my Dog and She Matter... IF you have a dog on prescription drugs DON'T USE THIS PLACE. THEY DON'T CARE. AT LEAST WITH MY DOG THEY DIDN'T. I HAVE TO LEAVE A STAR BUT THEY DONT DESERVE ONE STAR AT ALL. I'm bring home another English bulldog puppy and they just lost my business and also the the business of My New Puppy. read more

I wasn't planning on writing a review, but after seeing that Dr. Jennifer Jordan joined the Roots Vet team, I felt like I had to share my experience. I brought my 5-year-old male cat to Roots because he'd been vomiting frequently for almost two years. I was also there for routine vaccinations. During our appointment, I explained to Dr. Jordan that we had already tried several types of food--prescription, limited ingredient, novel protein--you name it. Her response was a mix of dismissive comments and strange theories, including the claim that hairballs "aren't normal." She seemed mildly concerned at first, but that quickly faded. Despite the ongoing symptoms and clear concern I brought in as a pet owner, her advice boiled down to: "Figure out what food works for him." As if that wasn't exactly what I'd already been doing for years. No vitals were taken. No bloodwork ordered. No follow-up suggested. I left feeling like my concerns weren't taken seriously--and honestly, like I was being made to feel like a bad pet parent. Thankfully, I trusted my gut and got a second opinion at Modern Animal Veterinary Practice. Thank god, because within a short time, they diagnosed my cat with an enlarged spleen, swollen GI tract, bladder debris, and a damaged kidney due to a renal infarct. All of these things could've been caught sooner if Dr. Jordan had taken a more thorough approach instead of brushing me off. I'm grateful my cat is now getting the care he needs, but I can't help but think about how much unnecessary discomfort he went through because he wasn't taken seriously the first time. If you're looking for a vet who listens, investigates, and actually partners with you in your pet's care--I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere. read more

I can't say enough great and amazing things about this vet clinic. When I moved to Austin - I adopted My first kitten & I had no trust in vets because they love to scam or over prescribe etc & FIVE strangers kept sharing "go to roots" . They have been the best most patient people to my baby Finnegan! Dr Lassin is a saint & there's not enough space in this review to sing my praises of this man! Dr Sosa is also amazing!!! Both are so great and will truly give you their best medical advice about your babies. The staff also is so kind & really build a sweet relationship with you and your baby. Go here! It's worth it. read more

Roots Integrative Veterinary Care - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dr. Lozoya was very thorough. My boxer dog had blood work done and everything checked back normal. I will continue to bring my boxer dog here. Check in was quick we got back to exam room pretty quick. Front staff was friendly and attentive. read more

It was my pet's first time at a vet in Austin, and it was the best experience! The staff were all so friendly, they were so kind to my crazy munchkin, and the cat room was so cute! The perfect place for a potentially anxious baby to be able to feel a bit more comfortable. The doctor's were efficient, answered all my questions, and worked on a plan that works with our lifestyle. read more

wolves in sheep clothing. after being very clear about a holistic path, and holistic only, these folks continued to push non-holistic treatments, were not forthcoming with the side effects of the non-holistic treatments, continue to send me emails after i've requested to be removed from the distribution list, including reminders for vaccinations when my dog's chart clearly indicated do not vaccinate. if you're into traditional veterinary practices, this may be your place. if you're looking for holistic, keep looking. read more

This is the worst vet in Austin. They charge 70 dollars for a nail trim. don't go here. read more

Have been with Dr. Lassin since we moved to Austin- followed him from his last practice because he and his team are the absolute BEST. We drive from Northwest Austin to his practice in South Austin and I will never switch. They are kind, genuinely care and truly look at your pet holistically. We've had a few major procedures and the usual minor issues that come along with pet ownership. Each time they have guided us to the best decision for our dogs. I might mention- this is not the least expensive vet however they are incredibly straight forward with their prices and definitely give options. Recently one of our dogs had a pretty big surgery and we did price out a few different options. Roots was on the lower end of average. The trust I have in this team and Dr. Lassin is worth every penny. Plus they are all just nice humans. read more

This place is literally the best vet we have ever taken our bubbies to. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm welcome. The space itself is designed to help keep your furbabies as ease, with more of a home-vibe than your typical starchy doctors office. Fully equipped with couches, chairs, toys and all the feels of home. Sometimes I wonder if my dogs even know they're at the Dr. (Hehe) all of the doctors and staff have been the best to work with. They really care about the well-being of your pet. If you have a furbaby who is a little skiddish when it comes to seeing the Dr, "happy visits" are a great tool to implement. A "happy visit" is simply bringing your fur baby into the office to get all the sniffs and smells and exploring in.. say hello to anyone on site and then leave without any treatments. We have implemented this with one of our babies and it has worked tremendously when the time comes for an actually visit with the Dr. All in all we can't recommend this place enough. They go above and beyond and love is at the heart of all they do. Thank you Roots!! read more

See all

Dr. Lassin and his crew are the absolute best! The compassion, communication, follow-through, and just awesome care are the best I've experienced. I am so happy that I found this veterinary clinic. I drive all the way from Fredericksburg, and it's absolutely worth every mile. read more

Lassin is a wonderful vet, holistic approach with a open mind and critical thinking - not just here is a pill. I wish I lived closer to them but when I have a weird situation with a pup or need some real advise and deep thinking into the problem I will always go to Lassin. Thank you for helping my Saki and Bubba read more

We've been clients of Dr. Lassin since his previous practice and happily moved with him since he founded Roots. I actually hadn't been able to see the brand new facility until we had an emergency with one of our dogs last week and wow, I was blown away, it's clean and beautiful! We absolutely love Dr. Lassin and his entire staff. From the front desk to all of the Techs, they are all incredible. This past week we also saw Dr. Sosa and he was also incredible. While it's always terrifying to leave without your pet, the supportive care they provided and the frequent updates and friendliness just blew us away. Roots and always goes above and beyond for our dogs and for us! We would never go anywhere else. They are all so caring and attentive. When our oldest dog was sick most of the staff knew immediately when we came in because they remembered how loud he normally is when he's healthy. I just adore them all and we know we can always count on their entire team no matter how big or how small any issue or question is. It's also wonderful to have Veterinarians who are so knowledgeable in raw feeding. I've left practices before who would go on and on about kibble being the only way to go, and it's so refreshing to just list out their diets and hear we're doing a good job, or just tips on tweaking things for each of our dogs to improve their diets. The best testimonial I can give is that we usually only visit Roots now for yearly visits (or random emergencies). Our dogs have been so healthy following their advice! My dogs also love going to visit them and two of ours used to be very hesitant with previous practices. Our oldest starts excitedly howling as soon as we pull in so they also agree, Roots is the place to be! read more

We followed Dr Lassin to Roots from his last practice. We have a senior kitty that is a flat faced breed so several various medical issues that pop up often and Dr Lassin is the most incredible, informative, patient vet I have ever met. I ask a lot of questions and due to my cat's age, I am always on edge with the slightest thing and he always takes the time to not just answer them but also explain the whys behind certain things. He is conservative with prescribing medications and always trying to give alternative holistic options which I appreciate. His staff is also always so extremely helpful and they always remember details about my pet which makes me feel so welcome. I have recommended Roots to so many of my friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Lassin! P.s - I went for the first time this week after several car appointments, and the interior of the practice is SO cute! They have a separate room for cats which I love. read more

I can't tell you how refreshing it is to bring your animal here. The entire staff is fantastic, from the woman who schedules appointments, to the doctor himself. If you've read any of my other reviews about my experience with Vets in Austin, you'll see I've been through the ringer trying to find a good one. Roots is a good one... actually, a GREAT one. I love how genuine and caring the staff is! They worked with me, as a new patient who was supposed to have to wait til July for an appointment, and added me to their waitlist if anyone canceled sooner. I was overjoyed when I was able to get my dog seen that same week! Even in Covid-times, the appointment felt so personal and thorough. The doctor was fantastic and offered me so much insight, and hope with my dog's situation. I appreciate the integrative approach of eastern and western medicine- it was just so nice to have options and fee thoroughly educated on all of them. LOOOVE LOVE LOVE Roots! So grateful to have found this place, and appreciate the fabulous staff more than words can describe. read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed sooner. This is the best veterinary practice that I've been to. They notice the small things that affect our best friends heath. Best staff ever who truly care about your pets. Schedule ahead due to long waits on appointments but I promise they are worth the wait!!! The cats and I love you Dr Sosa! read more

Great Veterinary Clinic, friendly, helpful and a great understanding of what you need to

Absolutely blown away by the quality of care and approach. This isn't my first pet, but when I decided to get a new puppy I wanted to try a new veterinarian as well. Someone that isn't just prescribing medicine, I want the care my pup gets to be similar to my approach with my own health. I don't want to just be pumped with medicine. So I found Roots and boy am I thrilled. First off the location is super convenient with lots of parking, which is important! The staff is all very nice, check in was easy despite COVID. But the wow factor was in the care that Dr. Lassin offers, which is beyond any other consultation I've ever had with any of my pets. Ever. Period. He had a ton of knowledge on different approaches to my pups well being, from tips on how to deal with his teething to what vaccinations were necessary and how to detox him afterwards. My mind was blown! Thank you Roots, for your excellent service and care. I will be seeing you soon as Frito needs lots of new puppy vaccines but I can't wait to introduce you to the rest of the pack :) read more

I was looking for a holistic style veterinarian clinic. When I called they were booked out for a couple months but were able to squeeze Creed and myself in. Dr. Lassin was one of the most professional and caring providers I have seen over the past 18 years of having pets. The warm welcoming feel of the clinic hits you right when you walk in. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well as providers. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone with a pet. They treat them with care and you know your best friend is in good hands. 12/10 on this place. I will never go to another vet again. read more

Roots may be the newest vet clinic in town but It is hands down the best! Dr. Lassin and his team called for all my old records so it was a seamless transition to start care. My pup left the office smiling after they did bloodwork, tests and x-rays which confirms that he was treated with love and care behind the scenes. I have an appointment for my second pup next month and am looking forward to being a life long client! Thank you for going above and beyond for us! read more

Dr Lassin is fantastic. Yes it's kind of a bougie vet but that's why you make an appointment. My dogs are both "fine" by normal vet standards but both have had skin issues we've run the gambit for and anxiety for storms and fire works. I can't remember a vet ever sitting and talking me through everything and options but also going through wholistic options and root causes. Vs "just give her some Benadryl" We went in last week. Got a SIX PAGE write up on everything we're working on, herbal medicines and shots. New diet and within a week all of their skin issues are drastically improved and they're sleeping through rain. Would highly highly recommend read more

I truly do not know what we would do without Roots. They are all simply amazing and go above and beyond when it comes to you and your pets.

Work denied my medical apt after leaving a deposit for my apt. Called to reschedule they want another 90 dollars wtf like we are humans shit happens and no apt till July this is bullshit read more

These guys and gals are amazing. Every single interaction I've had with the people of this clinic is lovely. Dr. Lassin and his team are extremely well-educated and thoughtful, and I take this as the highest compliment to my dog's care. I'm a skeptic by nature and have done an intense amount of research in regards to our current dog and her vaccines, foods, and preventative meds. Nobody at this clinic has dismissed me, pushed us into unnecessary treatments, or treated me like I'm a dumb layperson. And all of that feels so good. I'm absolutely convinced my dog is getting the healthiest, most thorough care this city has to offer. I'll probably be sad about this when it takes me an eternity to get an appointment, but I'm going to try to shove all of my friends and their pets to Roots so they know what real, honest vet care looks like! read more

The best veterinary care in Austin. Dr. Lassin is the most compassionate, understanding and competent vet I've ever met (and I worked in the vet industry for 6 years). Whether you believe in Integrative medicine or not, you NEED to see Dr. Lassin. And let me just get you started on their staff -- Brooke is the best employee I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Her customer service skills are out of this world, you've never met anyone who cares more about your experience and making you comfortable/happy than Brooke. Best customer experience I've ever had is because of her. If you have pets, do yourself a favor and go to Roots. read more

I have a pet with a difficult medical condition and my current vet prescribed medications in an overdose quantity that exacerbated my dog's health. Concerned about his current status, hematocrit of 7%, I contacted Roots. I wanted to speak with a veterinary technician or a doctor prior to bringing my animal to their clinic. They are 45 minutes away. The receptionist felt it most important to refuse the opportunity for me to speak with the technician before I created an account for my animal and scheduled appointments for visits. My dog needs specific care that I'm not sure this clinic can perform. I am not interested in providing my personal information to someone who cannot provide care. I have 3 pets that need a new vet. This receptionist lost ypu a new client. read more

After being turned away from my regular Vet (capital Vet) I drove down the road to Roots, pulled in and called. They took oUr concerns and immediately got our injured senior dog in. After they discovered the issue and steps to get her taken care of Dr. Lassin. explained everything to us and our options. He even gave us costs of all these options .without me asking. Which was nice as we are older and our business had been shut down because of Covid-19 and have no income at the moment. Not a practice that takes advantage of pet owners. We thank them for that. WE feel like Dr. Lassin and his staff really knows their stuff.Also we love his ideas on care/shots. I wish we would have had a Vet like him when our Ariel was a pup. With his approach I believe Ariel could have been a much healthier animal. read more

We had been taking our pet Othello to Dr Lassin at his previous clinic and followed him here. One of the techs is also the same and the familiarity is great. They have always been honest with their diagnosis and on hand with the treatments. Our cats health has fluctuated in the last 6 months and so have been more frequent to visit them and there are 0 complaints from us when it comes to treatment and care. They are located quite centrally for anywhere in South Austin which is convenient. I really like the holistic approach they take combined with traditional treatment. Highly recommend read more

Dr. Lassin and his staff are phenomenal. I'm so glad I found them. My 13 year old retriever mix is no longer in pain after we changed her meds. Previous vet kept her drugged up and the meds they prescribed never helped the arthritis. Now my old girl is happier and more aware than she's been in the past 5 years. It's wonderful to see her doing so well. read more

Dr. Lassin and his staff are absolutely amazing. I'm so excited he opened up his own practice. My dog has been seeing him for a year now for acupuncture, and it's the best decision I've ever made. I've heard great things about him way before that though. Dr. Lassin really takes his time with my dog and answers all my helicopter mom questions. I leave completely knowing what my choices are if advice was provided. I don't feel pressured in getting anything. I also just feel like he gets that I'm still in school so the most expensive option isn't always what I can do. He also just knows the most expensive option isn't always the best option and I like that. I've had different experiences with that from previous vets but I trust him completely. read more

I recently lost my dog Wally to cancer. It was an extremely tough time for myself and my wife, during which we had to see 8 vets in 4 months to try and find the right treatment plan. Almost every vet interaction was negative with the exception of Dr. Lassen. Dr. Lassen is smart, friendly, and communicates complex and difficult topics clearly and efficiently. He took the time to consult with the other specialists that I saw to gather all of the data we needed to make decisions on the care we sought. I can't recommend Dr. Lassen and his team enough, they truly are the best in Austin. read more

Cannot say enough great things about Dr Lassin and his team. Our dogs were patients of Dr Lassins at his previous practice and we were thrilled when he opened his own integrative vet clinic. Dr Lassin uses a balance of Eastern and Western treatment practices. He is very knowledgeable about natural and herbal options but doesn't hesitate if our pets needs a stronger method of treatment. We have two bulldogs who are prone to a variety of illnesses and medical challenges and he always makes time to see them when emergencies arise. We cannot thank Dr Lassin and his team enough for the attention and caring for our pups. read more

If you are looking for a vet who really cares about the health of your pet - please stop in and meet Dr Adam Lassin. Dr Lassin is an amazing vet and person who will listen to you and offer the best healthy option for your pet. He goes over and above any vet you have ever met. How do I know this? Dr Lassin was my dogs vet in California. I cried when he and his wife decided to move to Texas because I knew I would nor be able to find anyone close to Dr Lassin. And I haven't. But he has stayed in touch with me since he's been in Texas and helped me thru some tough health issues with my dogs. That is dedication and pure love for what you do. You will not find a better vet anywhere. read more

I've had Dr. Adam Lassin attend to most of our large family of pets over the past year or two, and followed him to his new home base to continue the alternative health options that work for my allergy laden cat. Looking for another way to ensure that our very (very) old cat had quality of life when he took a turn for the worse, Dr. Lassin and his crew assessed our 19 year old kitty to see if there was anything they could do to make him more comfortable. Unfortunately it was our old man's last day, and he left peacefully the next morning. the Roots Vet crew did not even really know this cat - yet I received the most touching and personal sympathy card from them in the mail. All of my friends and clients do (or will) know about this great team! read more
