Reviews of LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (College)

I was devastated one of my beloved dogs became ill out of no where after driving in to town on a vacation. I quickly resorted to LSU thinking if anyone would know what was wrong they would.. Many test were run. Even repeated over an over that were just done. They didn't care it wasn't their money and knowing how desperate people are we do anything to save our angels. The tab was running up higher and higher and they had no clue what so ever was wrong.. I walked out of there with my baby who died in 3 days, and a $5,000 with absolutely no answer at all.. I am sickened by what took place and still believe to this day she could have been saved.. It is not the LSU I remembered from years ago.. It's all about money now and less about caring.. I didn't like the lackadaisical attitude at all.. These animals are more like children to most of us and we expect your all and if you can't give us that you shouldn't quit now. Makes me sick. Today knowing much more on my own I relaxed she was having trachea collapse being a tiny Yorkie How in the hell could they not think to check for CT? It s very common in this breed and all the symptoms were there. I consider this vet total incompetent to be teaching anything. I lost my sweet baby for nothing I will never get over it.

LSU Vet School Small Animal Surgery Center is a great place! The staff and vets took wonderful care of my dachshund. She had an appointment within 24 hours of us calling and she had surgery the next day to remove a herniated disc in her neck. They called us several times a day updating us on her condition and we were able to get her out of the hospital sooner than anticipated because she was so well cared for and recovering quickly.

Very satisfactory

In it for extraordinary money is all. They dont care about the animal just money. Had a pup get hit drove 4hrs to get here. Was told no money on a deposit but $800+ just to admit. Was told surgery was $3000 to $6000. The next day they needed $3000+ upfront and $5000+ within 30 days. Thanks for nothing.

This is very specific to -Internal Medicine-, the other departments have been excellent. Unfortunately they have me over a barrel with my dog. They have poor bedside manner, clearly do not communicate with each other, and basic things a pet owner needs to know about their animal seem to get lost in the mix. They've been really unhelpful doing even basic things and will often cite they're busy. I am too, and I shouldn't need to call 4 or 5 times to get some paperwork filled out so I can get the medication I need for my dog. I'd love to contact whomever is in charge of internal medicine, but I have no idea how to go about that. I can't be the only person with this problem.

We brought our Labrador in after hours--and on a weekend--and we were very happy with how quick and friendly the staff was. Our vet who did the examination was helpful and spent time with us (my daughter was with us and was upset) and it all ended well. Had no idea LSU had a roundcthe clock clinic like this.

Great vet

Amazing Veterinarian school in Louisiana helping Veterinary students to learn how to properly care for all species of Animals.

Huge marks for professionalism and great care, low marks for response times. My frenchie has two congenital heart defects, which mean expensive tests and treatments on the regular. While getting through to the small animal clinic is tough (they have a lot of patients coming in from all over the state) once we were booked with our appointment, everything was fine. The cardiologist (Dr. McGee, I believe) whiteboarded her condition to help educate me around what was actually wrong -- demystifying what I thought was an alarming condition in my pup. I was encouraged to ask as many questions as I needed and walked through her answers with professionalism and support. That meant so much to me. She was able to get us on meds ($12 per month) and ease the stress my family had been managing for almost 2 years. The best part was that the echocardiogram test, which cost me $800 in Oregon, cost a little over $500. Which is not cheap, but so much more manageable for a dog that needs frequent tests. Highly recommend LSU if you have a specialized issue that you need support with.

DO NOT BRING RATS, MICE OR ANY OTHER SMALL ANIMALS!!!!!! I would give no stars if I could. My experience today was terrible. Yesterday I called to see if they could board my 2 week old rats. Their mother was hurting them so they're being bottle fed. I explained this to the receptionist. She told me to drop my rats off the next day, no problem. I told her how old and that they were still being bottle fed. I drive over this morning which is an hour away, sit in the waiting room for an hour just to be told that they can't board them. I had a flight today. I told the vet this and then told him that a couple of the babies have inflamed stomaches and he told me "some make it, some don't". Obviously did not care about the wellbeing of these animals I've been trying to keep alive for the last couple weeks. Then after all this they charged me for the visit, a visit to tell me that they can't take care of them. I tried talking to the receptionist and she ignored me as I stood infront of her for 5 minutes. One of my babies passed because of the inflammation. Thanks for helping LSU.

You may want to reconsider taking your pet to this hospital, my wife and I live 2 hours away our cat has an issue with his sinus (really bad running nose" so my wife drives over because we had heard they have the means to treat our pet ....6 hours later they come to her and tell her it could cost 2-3 thousand dollars and this is before they have even looked our pet just a random number based on a guess of what they might have to do and here is the worst part they want the money up front minimum 2 thousand dollars or take your pet with you at 8 o'clock at night....HANDS DOWN THE WORST PLACE TO BRING YOU PET !!!!

I had a beautiful cat who needed physical therapy because she had a hip replaced. The wonderful people who work at the clinic were so caring and took a great deal of care with her. We even tried aroma therapy and acupuncture at their suggestion and her quality of life was greatly improved for the time she had left/ Even when it was time for her to leave us the clinicians made us so very comfortable. Thank you, thank you for all you did.

I love the work you did with Molly the Pony. Please keep up the great work you do.

They are a complete rip off. They want to charge me dam near 289 just to walk in the door.

You know that you're dealing with people who are interested solely in your money when the first thing they say to you when you walk through the door carrying your pet is, "You know there's an automatic $90 consulting fee?" These people stop just short of extorting money from you. They wouldn't do anything for my dog until I coughed up $400 (in addition to the "consulting fee") right there on the spot. I've used several veterinary services in Baton Rouge, but the LSU Vet School was the absolute worst, hands down. One would think that a veterinary service affiliated with the flagship university would be top notch, but that is not my observation. Words aren't sufficient to describe what a horrible experience I had with these people. They are grossly overpriced, to begin with. On top of that, their billing/accounting office cannot get billing correct. Whether deliberate or accidental due to very sloppy procedure, it is more than annoying to continue receiving a bill for service already paid for. The final indignity is that I wasted my money because the "doctor" there completely misdiagnosed my dog's problem. In that regard, it was like dealing with a second year veterinary student. I will not take an animal there ever again. I absolutely despise the LSU Vet School and can only hope that the veterinarians they churn out are better people and more understanding human beings than the ones who actually work there.

I was quoted $3200 for a surgery on my dog’s leg. I agreed to the price. I was VERY clear, and asked if that included EVERYTHING before i agreed. Then after the surgery was completed, the price changed to $6000!!!!! Apparently they chose the wrong screw and plate size and my dog had to have surgery twice without my knowledge. At least that’s what I’m told! I was treated so rudely and poorly by the administration. I’m 100% convinced that they are scamming as many people as they can! BEWARE!

Love the care and compassion. HATE the tactics. Had a $4,000 that we were paying monthly on with interest. However, despite interest being paid AND notes, had difficult deadline that they placed upon us. Won't be inclined to use them again. Super expensive.

Nan Pitre

Everyone was so caring and supportive in a very difficult time.

"LSU School of Veterinary Medicine" has proven to be very capable of improving the quality of our adored epileptic 6 YO Great Dane mixed dog. Specifically, Dr. Ryan. She is about to start a cancer treatment and much as I do worry; I have faith in the whole team of the " LSU School of Veterinary Medicine."
