We have been coming to LMVH for many years. But due to several recent experiences in the past year we have decided to switch to another veterinary hospital. We are very disappointed with the staff and services at LMVH. We simply get large bills, little compassion from certain veterinarians, no written reports on the problems, and other issues during several recent visits for several dogs. They billed us for several x-rays but we were not shown them! Two of our dogs died within 4 months of each others from badly run treatm... read more

I will say I'm extremely disappointed in this clinic. I was so excited that Dr. Depunzio had joined this vet; however that excitement ended when I had to deal with another male doctor who will remain nameless. This Dr. is so short and doesn't seem to really care about the emotional part of being a vet. I too feel like for LMVH is about the money. I had gone in for a specific test, and explained that I am fostering the pet and asked about a discount when I made the appt. I was told to ask when I came in. So when I asked at ch... read more

This place is a joke. One of the pictures included is the invoice of what I was charged to be told my dog has a sore muscle somewhere. The invoice also increased, without my approval, $100 from what I was told was a "worst case scenario" bid. The second picture is of my dogs rear end that was shaved into his second and third layer of skin. The dog is 20lbs and was sedated when they attempted to just shave hair. It has been a week since that visit and my dog is still dragging his but on the carpet to itch the scabs. ... read more

WOW, is the only thing I can say. I am shocked and very offended. I never thought this would happen to us as Yelp is a forum for consumers to describe our experiences, both good and bad, to the public without recourse. It is a tool for us to have so our voices can be heard (anonymously)! Well, just six days after posting my initial post about my experience with LMVH the Hospital Administrator and Owner, Dr. Ramin S has left four messages for us, on our cell phones and home phone, and then spoke to my husband regarding my ... read more

I just returned from another frustrating visit to LMVH. I showed up on time, but as usual had to wait. The staff regards this as normal and offers no apology for the delay even after I pointedly said, 'backed up today?' I was in for a special diagnostic procedure and the receptionist said they were setting up the room. Didn't they know I was coming? Couldn't they have had the room set up and ready for the time of my appointment? I made the same comment about being backed up once I got into the exam room with the vet. T... read more

The only reason that i gave them 1 star is because there are no negative stars. i have been bringing my Lab here for the last 12 years. It seems that every time I bring him here they want to sell me something. Sometimes I bought, sometimes I didn't. Well now my dog is 12 and is having problems..all of a sudden he can't walk, he's bloated and won't eat. I think the end is near. I fear the worst. I am pretty sure that he needs to be put asleep. :( but want to talk to a doctor. I can't carry him....he weighs 130 lbs. an... read more

On 3/4/2013, my wife had taken our boxer Star to see the vet because she wasn't acting right. They did blood work, looked her over, and said nothing is wrong with her. They charged my wife 141.00 and sent her home, and by Monday Star had gooten worse. I took her back to see them on Monday and they were nice enough to waive the recheck fee. During the visit, the owner, looked her over and said she had neck and back problems. I asked him if he wanted to do x-rays, and he said he would have to sedate her to do it. She wasn't e... read more

I have been coming to this vet since 2006. Today's experience has soured me for good. I asked for an estimate for my dog's teeth cleaning. Over the phone I was told around $300-$500, but the best amd more accurate estimate would be if they could see his teeth. In hindsight, then would have been a good time to ask if there was a fee associated with getting such an estimate, but I did not think to do so because other vets charged me nothing for an estimate on the same procedure. Upon check in, I indicated I was there for a tee... read more

My pup at a mouse, a mouse that was likely poisoned by neighbors (it came into the yard and died - dog didn't kill it). This vet is around the corner from us and open till 8pm. I called them at 7:15pm and explained the situation, but they were entirely unwilling to help us, stating they were too busy and i'd have to find another solution. I even begged/pleaded; noting we are neighbors and that my partner had a dog who died from eating a poisoned mouse in the past. No go - you'll have to make other arrangements. To turn you... read more
