We love this hospital. They take such good care of our dogs. They keep you informed on what ever may be going on. There not out to money gouge. There they give you only what you need. They give you excellent recommendations on what your pet is going to need down the road estimates are right on with what they charge or less. For example, one of our dogs had to have oral surgery the bill was estimated to be between $500 and $900 when we pick him upThe bill was $324. If your pet has to stay there they keep you up-to-date by calling you throughout the day to let you know how your pet is doing. I will not take my dogs anywhere else but Lakewood animal hospital!!! office staff, all the vet techs, and all the doctors are just wonderful!!!!
