Hart Road Animal Hospital-Dr. Lauren Smith DVM

I'm very sorry to have to write this review since we had been pretty pleased with the vet techs here. We wanted to like Hart Rd- local and in the neighborhood and our initial impressions were great.

Our most recent experience however has prompted us to move vets, ASAP.

We had our dog in for the day since he needed to be on fluids, and we trusted these folks to take care of him like we would, since we had felt comfortable with them before. We knew they were expensive but considered it worth it, and were paying (what was already a pretty astronomical quote) over $100 to keep him...

Very happy! – I really like these vets- they know a lot and really told me everything. I was so happy they helped my dog and I told my friends to go there too. I did not think the prices were any worse than elsewhere, and they give me personal care, not just an assembly line. They were telling me why my dog did not need a vaccine I thought she would need.

Rip Off !! – I went to Companion Pet Clinic (CPC) in the end, since Hart Road vets are such quacks and theifs.

Cost comparison: CPC vs Hart Rd

Office visit: $26 vs $50
Revolution medicine: $16 vs $28
Fecal sampling: $16.50 vs $28
Antibiotic Eye Drops: $14 vs $23
Teeth Cleaning: $150 vs $300

This is just to name a few cost differences.

The vets at Hart Road are all out to get you to pay ridiculous amounts. The vet (Dr Smith) prescribed 3 different expensive medicines for my cat's symptoms despite my verifying a few times if those medicines were truly necessary. It didn't seem like my...

When walking your dog, stop by this friendly Vet Clinic with a free Puppy Class – Love this vet clinic. Small, friendly, helpful, caring. Prices are about the same in all the nearby vets. But this vet goes out of her way to explain all problems.

She also has a great free puppy class on Saturdays. Never heard of that before. The class is to teach the puppies that vets are a good place to visit. The puppies play with each other, get lots of treats and get fun exams and nail trims. The vet said she wants to make sure that the puppies grow up to be dogs that are not traumatized by...

Will even charge you $5.oo to write a prescription. – I started going to Hart Road when I got my two puppies. The first check up ended up costing $399.00 for both. I was shocked! I thought perhaps it was because it was the very first time they had been to the vets. Oh...how wrong I was. I went back two days later because one of my dogs had what appeared to be a cold and they thought he needed Xray. The visit ended up costing me $400. Three hundred was for the x ray and 100 was for an office visit/exam even though we were just there two days earlier. The dog ended up needing...
