Everyone was extremely professional and friendly. My dogs were treated with compassion and patience. The treatment was explained to me in detail. I will certainly use their services again.

I just recently moved to New Orleans, and I had my dog get a check up at my home vet before I left, but I needed to get her a booster a few months later. So I did some research on Angie's List to find a vet. After getting my list of top candidates, I decided to call everyone to get a feel and a price quote. Right away, Lakeview stood out among all the other vets in the area. They were super friendly with me and weren't trying to rush me off the phone like other locations. They listened to what I had to say and responded politely and with details, not just short, curt answers. They even had questions for me and seemed genuinely interested in my dog.
So I decided to go to them for my dog's booster. I got there a little bit early and they were very pleasant and friendly with me and my dog. They got me in right on time WITH the vet there. In my past experiences with other vets, I see a technician on time with my appointment, but have to wait a bit for the vet. Anyways, I immediately saw a vet and he was very friendly, giving the shot no problem. Then he spent some time going over what kind of health concerns dogs in Louisiana have as opposed to dogs where I'm from up North.
Overall I was very pleased with my visit and am glad that I chose Lakeview Veterinary Hospital.

The staff is friendly and the doctors are kind and punctual. I would recommend this vet hospital to anyone near the Lakeview area.

She spent a lot of time with me and wasn't rushing me out the door. It was a very good first visit and will bring my pet back for a follow-up appointment.

I don't even live in Lakeview but drive here to take my dogs for vet appointments. My parents have taken their dogs here for years also. I recommend them very highly.

They are terrific. They took excellent care of my pets. Wait time is just few minutes. I would use them again.

With regard to price, all veterinarians are expensive nowadays. They are like everybody else. They are just very personable. They really care about the animals. They know them when they walk in the door. They have a great staff. It's very clean. They are very considerate and they take their time. I really just think that they are nice.

They are very personal. I really enjoyed the time the veterinarian spent with the animals. The things that have stood out are their friendliness and their availability. They are very accommodating. They are not cheap.

My cat was having skin problems and issues with digestion. They performed tests to determine the cause of his problems but kept me informed at all times of cost and what would be entailed. I am very pleased with the outcome.
My cat received excellent care at Lakeview Veterinary Hospital and we will continue to use them for our needs.

They are great, and I think their price is very reasonable.

I really like the doctors at Lakeview. They seem to do a really good job. They have a good office environment.

I have been using them for fifteen to twenty years. At one point, bob, my twenty-three year old cat died and they were and wonderful with him.

I have a rescue Dachshund who is 13 years old and heartworm positive. From neglect prior to my adoption, the dog had lost most of her teeth.

I scheduled this visit for dental cleaning and for possible teeth extractions. The Vet told me that multiple extractions were very probable.

I dropped off my pet early on Wednesday, Aug 10, 2011, and signed consent forms allowing the Vet to extract teeth as necessary.

The Vet called me around noon to say the dog was fine, but she had to extract 5 of my dog's nine teeth -- and told me that she would have extracted more teeth but the jaw was too fragile with bone loss to do anything more at this time. The Vet said to pick up my dog between 4:30 and 5:00pm that afternoon. I had a bunch of questions -- but the Vet cut these questions short and said we could visit when I picked up the dog.

I arrived at the Vet around 4:45pm. After a 10 or 15 min wait, I was brought into an exam room and told by a staff member who wore an ID Tag that said and quot;Nancyand quot; (with no professional designation) that the Vet -- Dr. Leto -- was attending to an emergency and so she would check us out.

Nancy told us our dog suffered what was probably an allergic reaction to penicillin -- the first that I heard of this -- and that benedryl was administered and our dog seemed to be responding. However, we were warned to watch for further facial swelling.

At this point, I mentally checked out with Nancy.

Here I was with a 13 year-old-dog who is compromised with heartworms and who just had 5 of her 9 teeth extracted (and only five because her jaw was too fragile to extract more) and who just had suffered an allergic reaction to penecillin and who was being sent home with three prescriptions and one follow-up oral proceedure --- and I wasn't able to see the Vet? This is not a sole proprietorship --- there are 5 Vets listed on the website -- so I presume one of the Vets should have been able to meet with me, But I was mistaken. No Vet would meet with me, but I insisted that Dr Leto should call me sometime later. Guess what? No call from Dr Leto.

My bill for today's services was nearly $700 - but for that amount of money I was not able to see Dr Leto.

So if you are considering to entrust your pet's care to Dr Leto and Lakeview Vets, be forewarned that $700 doesn't buy you any face time with a Vet -- even if your pet is a special needs animal and even if your pet suffered an adverse reaction in surgery. My dog has only 4 teeth left in her mouth and I had a bunch of questions about feeding and about calcium supplementation -- but all my questions are unanswered.

I am shocked that I was not able to meet with a Vet after my pet's operation -- and I hope that Lakeview Vet takes some corrective action to insure that its patients are discharged from surgery with a face-to-face visit from a Vet.
