Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

Took my cat Elvis here for the very first time today. GREAT staff and great doctor. Looking forward to transferring my 2 dogs to her care.

Each one of the docs here see one of my kids. They each have their own style of bedside manner, but any one of them could take over and hit the ground running. The techs are patient and knowledgeable. The Front Desk staff are friendly and make my day that much better. Lakewood for life!

We love Lakewood Veterinary and Dr. Prior and the staff. They all take great care of Leah, our more introverted dog, as well as Bessie, our personable Pug puppy. They give us the personal appropriate attention that each dog requires and we adore them for it!

Dana managed to save a bad situation by going above and beyond her duties.

Only made a yellow page account to write this review. If I was able to give it zero stars I wouldve. Terrible terrible service. Brought my poor pup in for a chipped tooth and was given a kennel cough vaccination...which gave her kennel cough!! I have never seen my dog so sick and she is gasping like she can't breathe. I brought her in when she started having reactions and they did noting for her told me her fever is probably because of "being nervous" I can't explain the anger that rushed through my body. And now I have to postpone her operation to get her tooth extracted because I am not okay with her being put under anesthesia with a fever and kennel cough even though they think it's okay... well I think they're incompetent. Their newly staffed with kids fresh out of college with no experience what so ever. I will NEVER recommend coming to this establishment. Also, it is very hard to get legit answers out of the doctors seems like you have to pry it out of them. Oh yeah and when I went 3 times in one week I was seen by 3 different doctors who all told me different things. So inconsistent I have never been so unsatisfied in my life. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS TO THIS HOSPITAL

I have had Lakewood for years as my vet. However they misdiagnosed my cat with feline Luke. Dr. Meth said to put her down. 5 years later and anew vet that has verified otherwise. They also said she has a heart murmer which she does not have either. . Dr. Method needs a new proffesion. She actually argued with me about known facts. My baby is healthy and going on 16. Thank god I did not put her down.

The last week of August my little yorkie (6lbs) got hit by a F250 truck. Thankfully he was not seriously hurt. The biggest thing that happened was his left arm was fractured and his elbow had a little separation in it. Gizmo saw Dr. Prior and she was wonderful. Normally Dr DeQuick is the only dr I would let Gizmo see. But on this occasion I just needed him seen ASAP. Dr Prior was super good to him. She is very caring, compassionate and very easy to talk to and she explains what is going on very well. I was a total wreck when I took Gizmo in; Gizmo is my baby, little man, my son, just part of our family. Since the Dr Prior has been treating Gizmo, David and I are so very pleased with everything she has done. Gizmo doesn't get nervous when his daddy takes him to the doctor, he just wags his little tail and looks around. Gizmo is doing much much better and we owe it all to Dr Prior. The staff there is also great; Tina and Dana are super nice ladies. They are always very professional and caring. I will continue taking my two babies there as long as Dr DeQuick and Dr Prior are there.

My dog is a member of the family, so I am very picky when it comes to choosing a veterinarian. I drive the 25 minutes from Charlotte to Mooresville just to see Dr. Meth. She is compassionate, thorough, professional, and makes sure you understand everything that is going on with your animal. You can tell that Dr. Meth genuinely cares about the well-being of her patients. If you want the best healthcare for your animal go see Dr. Meth.

I have been taking all my Animals to Lakewood from the 1st years of business. I was very pleased with them all of those years until the last 2 visits. Peanut my Yorkie got very sick throwing up, diarrhea walking like he was drunk. I thought he was going to die so we took him in and told Dr Meth Peanut had a dead rat pulling the hair out of the rat. So we told her what happen and she wanted to do x rays because she thought a sock was in his stomach. They started him on a IV and antibiotics. Then she wanted more and more test done even when she knew it was rat poison. She doesn't listen to the dog owner she just relies on the damn computer!!!! So I went home looked up Antidote for rat poison and it was Vit.K also if you wait for it to show up into the blood it's too late the dog will die!!!!! So I called her back and asked her about ViT-K and she yes that's an antidote. I said would it hurt him to give it to him and she said no. I said ok give it to him. She said poison isn't showing up in his blood work I said it takes 72 hrs to show up right? she said yes. I said if it does show up then it's too late he will die!!!! So guess what when he got the Vit-K he got better in 8 hrs. Sad that you have to go home to research it for her. She is dumb as a box of rocks!!!! We thought about pulling our dogs from there and I thought to myself no that was just one mess up I will give them another chance. Well I went today for my other Yorkie BB to get blood work done for Phenobarbital medication and have been do that since 11/07. Bb has seizures. 1st time check up don't have to be back for bloodwork for 6 months it went like that for a while then they started every 3 months and now down to 2 weeks!!! just because her level was low. It's always been on the low side and it didn't stop them from giving a 6 months supply until now!!!!! I told them the truth and said I haven't been giving her 2 doses a day only one because it has been working since 07 like that with no seizures. I asked way do I want to give her a higher dose when it is working the way i am doing it? the reason why I didn't give 2 dose a day is because it is hard on the liver. I told them that's way she is she alive today. So I pulled my dogs records and are taking them somewhere else. I like Dr Dequick but could do without the rest even the office. They are Rude!!!!! He needs to get rid of them because they are giving him a bad name. All they do is suck more and more money out of you and they take advantage of a dog that needs the medication to live. They are following PROTOCOL!!! Well they can stick it where the sun don't sun.

I absolutely love Lakewood. My dogs currently go there and its by far my favorite. They are very friendly and flexible!

I used to take my Weimaraner Graycie there as a puppy, unfortunately we moved to Charlotte and convenience became a huge factor in my decision to change vets. Lakewood is a great animal hospital, great staff and excellent doctors, they made my inexperience at owning a dog easy and pleasant. Graycie loved all the staff and even had a two week stay when I was between homes. They allowed me to come and take her out for a couple of hours on weekends while she was being boarded.



Prices are very reasonable compared to the vets I go to now, if it wasn't such a drive for me I would never have left Lakewood Animal Hospital and I miss going to them.



I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a vet in the Mooresville area.
