I'm totally astonished by the not-so-great- 1-star reviews! My sweet girl and I had our first visit with the vet and staff members yesterday and I was totally satisfied! Dr. Amend was very knowledgeable, welcoming and professional in her handling of my pet's condition and I left feeling such relief and appreciation. Many Thanks!

This is my new veterinary office and Dr Rowland is my new vet, she is the best!!! I have a small dog with some tummy trouble that has been going to the ER this year because he seems to get sick on the weekends or holidays. (And we don't have a vet yet). During our last ER visit they recommended this place and we followed up with them. I can't say enough wonderful things about them. We've done some testing and dietary changes with Dr Rowland's guidance and my little guy is doing well. Thanks so much for taking care of my furbaby.

Dr Roland has been our veterinarian for many years. We love how she knows that our pets are our family. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the other veterinarians in the office over the years and have been extremely happy with their professionalism and care as well, especially some extended treatment given to our Abbie by Dr Amend. We don’t trust our furry family members to any other office and highly recommend the doctors as well as the staff! I recently lost my Abbie and greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness and care given by Dr Roland, Dr Amend and the staff. Thank you. It means the world to me.

OK, when I first moved to Lawrence two years ago I had a cat. I also was full-time caregiver for my mom so I never got to take my cat to any veterinary help here for the last two years. When my cat passed away recently and I was seeking a new pet but didn't really know how to go about it. I was given my new for baby brownie as a gift. I was looking for a veterinary clinic to take him to and it was kind a hard to choose because there are so many veterinary clinics in this Town. I think Lawrence has more veterinary clinics than I've ever seen in quite a long time so after searching for a little bit I decided to go with This place. The The location of this veterinary clinic is really tucked away and if you don't know the area you will pass by it. I think they could've chosen a better building so that it would be easily noticed and accessible.The clinic looks small from the outside and unfortunately due to Covid I haven't been given the opportunity to see what the inside looks like. Their Covid policy I don't really care for, although I understand it. Their policy is that when you have an appointment with your pet, you are to pull up, park and the nurse comes out, takes your pet inside and does whatever procedure you ask, then the nurse brings the pet back out to the car with a total of what they've done. Prior to the nurse bringing your pet out, you do receive a call from the vet to kind of give you an idea of what they did and what is the next step. Now for some pet owners who have had their pets for a long time and may have felt comfortable letting their pet go in because they've dealt with these people before, they may have been ok with thatf but someone like me, who just got my pet and having to hand him over to a stranger and not even escort him inside for his first veterinary appointment was a little strange. I didn't like it, as I've stated before I do understand why it's like that I just didn't like it. But fortunately for brownie, the visit went well, the veterinarian name Dr. Roland spoke with me and told me everything that she had done and what to expect in the in the coming months. So far I am pleased with the services I received the pricing was affordable and they seem to all take a liking to brownie ,and that meant more to me than anything. I truly based my return on how he was receptive to them. the fact that he was very playful and receptive I will definitely be bringing brownie back for his future appointments. They really made brownie feel at home.

Hands down the best veterinary hospital. We live in Gardner and come all the way to Lawrence for their care. Our family wants to give a sincere thank you for the loving care you gave our beloved Baxter. We appreciated the sympathy card signed by all the staff. It meant so much! A special thank you to Dr. Sabra Amend for ALWAYS calming my worried heart. We will always refer to your hospital and will continue to bring our fur babies to you all!

Expanded hours to try to continue to see as many patients as possible during this time. Pet moms and dads aren't allowed into the building (haven't been for months). You call when you arrive, parking spots are numbered. They come to the car to get your pet. The system could work better, but it's not bad all things considered. I really dislike not being able to be present for an exam/treatment or to be able to talk to the vet face to face. Otherwise, still great as usual.

I will say I've had pretty good experiences here up until Thursday. My dog has had problems no vet could find out what was wrong with him or how to treat him, including kstate. Was very frustrating went on for 3 months and several thousand dollars between 3 vets and him suffering enough was enough so I made the hard decision to put him down. That is not why I'm giving a 1 star. I went in for the procedure they explained everything to me said 1st shot will sedate 2nd shot will put him down. It will be completely painless. Well that's not what happened, they gave the first shot and he kind of jerked a little bit but then relaxed he was on my lap during the whole ordeal. After he relaxed I thought he had gone to sleep, then she injected the second shot and he started jerking and yelping for what felt like forever but was probably only 10 seconds then whined for another minute or so before finally calming down. The vet tech had not hit the vein with the iv. So she had to insert another iv and they pushed the meds again, and he finally passed. It was probably the worst experience of my life and I was so angry when I left. I never received a phone call to apologize for the situation or anything after. I can't recommend the vet after that happened to me there. Was a horrible way for my friend to go and traumatizing for myself. My last memory of my dog I've loved for 13 years was him screaming and whining, and I paid to have it done to him.

We love Dr. Rowland! She's so sweet to both our cat and dog. She gives really helpful advice and is really thorough. She always provides options for medications and choices for treatments. I love the follow up calls for the one thing you forgot to check on or question that came up after, and that you can schedule appointments online. Highly recommend!

I have had excellent service from the front desk and Dr Rowland. They have always given our dog a complete and thorough examination. If I call with a question or concern I receive a telephone call within a few hours. Excellent service and care.
