Lakewood Veterinary Hospital
Lakewood Vet earns strong praise for attentive staff and skilled doctors who handle animals with genuine care. Patients repeatedly highlight thorough exams, follow-up calls, and a team genuinely invested in their pets. However, a handful report frustration: emergency access was denied when needed urgently, one owner felt talked down to after receiving incorrect appointment guidance, and a second opinion contradicted a vet's recommendations. The hospital serves established clients well but shows gaps when urgent support is needed most. Staff and veterinarians consistently demonstrate competence and kindness across routine care. Scheduling coordinator Brian is named for going above and beyond. Dr. Arcuri draws both strong praise for professionalism and criticism for misguided next-steps advice; Dr. Andrew receives credit for easing anxious dogs. Travel health certificates, allergy management, and routine preventive care are mentioned as handled competently. Wait times and accessibility remain a sticking point.
