I'm so grateful I found Lakewood Pet Vet. My cat was battling an ongoing urinary issue that wasn't…read moregetting resolved with her former vet. I called for an appointment and Isabella got me in right away. She was so pleasant on the phone. I met with Dr. Hope for an exam and consultation. Dr. Hope had a high level of professionalism that I had not received from my previous vet. They took x-rays and showed me exactly what the issue was with my cat. After a surgery and some recovery time my little girl is back to her playful and joyful self. Of note, my cat has been labeled "dangerous" and "difficult to handle" at our former vet's office. I was [shocked] when the staff at Lakewood Pet Vet told me she's a sweetheart and not difficult at all. This team truly cares about how they treat animals and do so with the utmost care! I will be bringing all my cats here moving forward.

About 3 weeks ago, I brought my dog in after a coyote attack. I was alone and frantic as any pet…read moreowner would be in that situation. He was taken in quickly and I was initially reassured, which helped in that moment. After that, most of the communication shifted toward costs, approvals, and payments rather than clear medical updates. I understand veterinary care is expensive and estimates are necessary. However, this experience felt far more transactional, especially in moments that required compassion. I paid about $517 for basic treatment (antibiotics, patient room fees, iv fluids, vaccines, cone, and fees), but no diagnostics were completed. I was quoted $1,000+ for x-rays. Feeling overwhelmed by staffs, I ultimately left and sought care elsewhere. At another clinic, my dog received imaging, was diagnosed with a broken rib and dental injury, and received full treatment for a much more affordable price. Beyond the cost, that clinic felt far more present and personal, and the experience itself felt reassuring and grounded rather than transactional. Thankfully, he is now safe and recovering. After posting my original review, the business publicly responded and asked me to reach out directly. I did so immediately, in good faith, hoping for clarification or resolution. I never received a response. That gap between public reply and private silence is part of why I'm sharing this. That, combined with the experience in person, is what disappointed me most -- not just the visit itself, but the lack of follow-through afterward. When a business responds publicly but doesn't continue that same level of communication privately, it raises concerns about sincerity and whether the response is about resolution or reputation.

Dr. Hwang is phenomenal! Our 14-year-old dog somehow got her paw stuck and injured her toe, leaving…read morethe nail bent almost 90 degrees from its original position with quite a bit of bleeding. We called Dr. Hwang's office, and the front desk staff was incredibly helpful and recommended that we bring her in. I was trying to rearrange schedules to get our pup in as soon as possible but couldn't make it until the next morning. A few minutes before they stopped taking walk-ins that evening, the front desk actually called me back to let me know they were about to close--just in case we wanted to bring our dog in that same day. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much. We ended up bringing her in the next morning, and everyone was just as friendly and welcoming in person. Dr. Hwang took great care of our dog, calmed our nerves, and clearly explained the injury and treatment plan. He was also very careful with the treatment given her age and followed up with us a few days later to check on how she was doing. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Hwang and his entire team for the compassion and care they showed our 14-year-old dog. We highly recommend Dr. Hwang and his practice to anyone looking for excellent veterinary care for their pet!

I have waited some time to write this review to allow my initial frustration to settle down. I want…read moreto be fair and clear and share my unpleasant experience. I brought my dog, Gansito, to Grace Animal Hospital on 10/20/25. I was initially quoted approximately $1,300 for his exams, bloodwork and xrays. After that was completed, I was informed that he would be needing surgery for bladder stone removal. The office staff came into the room and on their tablet/ipad showed me the breakdown of the cost of his surgery. which was about $3,800 which was paid in full. Once i paid that amount, i was handed a receipt and was told they would be starting his surgery soon and they would call and updated me, I proceeded to go back home. About 30 minutes later i received a call from Grace Animal Hospital saying that I had been undercharged and that I now owed an additional $2,000. I was in shock; I had just paid a little over $3,800. By that point my dog had already been left at their office to undergo surgery. I felt like I was being held emotionally hostage knowing my pet needed care but suddenly being told i had to pay thousands more at the very last minute. How did the price go up in the amount of time it took me to get back home? I was told it was a mistake and the surgery itself was not $2,000, it was $4,000. I will be clear and say the veterinarian was kind and compassionate and i have no complaints about the actual medical care. But this kind of billing error and lack of transparency is completely unacceptable. If a mistake of this magnitude was made on their end, I do believe the clinic should have absorbed the cost or at least worked a payment plan with me instead of just placing that burden on the pet owner after the fact. I really hope Grace Animal Hospital takes steps to fix their billing practices. Pet owners should never be placed in situations where their love for their animal is exploited through poor communication and sudden financial surprises.

A $50 Office Visit, $26 for the Bordatella shot and $25 nail trim. They were kind enough to waived one nail trim. I was contacted via text to address the matter of my incorrect review about the exam cost due to nail trim. That the cost is to make sure my dog is ok for the shot. I was informed and requested to bring my dog's rabies shots for their safety. She also told me there's places like aspca and low cost places where I don't need to pay for exam. I was not aware that I needed to pay for office exam to make sure my dog was ok to get borotella but I'm glad I was informed and corrected. My apologies for the previous review of my misinformation.

This Clinic has been around for many years. I've been bringing my dog here for 4 years. I was…read morerecommended by my neighbors. Dr Sal is an absolutely wonderful Veterinarian. He has great compassion & expertise in his field. I really like him. However, getting an appointment is pretty much impossible the same month. You can go in a as walk in, but I must warn you, you will spend hours waiting. Even when you have an appointment, you must first text the number on the window to let the office staff know your in the parking lot. Then in turn, even if you have a time scheduled appointment, you must wait in your car to be asked in. Sometimes more than a half hour later. I wish they had a better system, it's very uncomfortable for an animal having to wait so long to be seen, not to mention the inconvenience to the human. I have tried the drop off system in the past too. I dropped my dog off at 9:00am and by 3:00pm she had not even been examined! They have plenty of staff members on site, so I'm confused as to why the delay when the dog has been there all day! Because of the overbooking or walk ins may take priority (even if not an emergency) has led me to seek other alternatives. The additional cost out weigh my anxiety & frustrations when my dog needs help. I leave this review to help others make up their own minds. I'm sorry to say good bye, but care is needed to address these problems.

I took my senior dog to get his teeth cleaned and when I picked him up, the person who explained…read morethe medication ended the conversation with how much he barked and took off a cone etc. I don't know why she would say that. He was obviously stressed out from the procedure and I told her that he really doesn't bark at home. I really don't know what the point of that was besides to make me feel bad and not likely, but what if they were peeved at my dog and didn't treat him nicely. So I'm not grading on that but the fact that they made me feel bad and even think that made me feel uneasy. Also, before I dropped him off I asked to get his anal glands expressed and when I asked when I picked him up if that was done and they said "oh they were empty" (he's usually not empty). It made me feel like they forgot to do it and they just said it was empty. Overall, I'm just disappointed by how badly I felt after picking him up and not feeling certain of the care my dog received. I used to like this place but they're losing their bedside manner here so I'm going to look for another vet who is more compassionate with care for senior dogs.
