I have a unique perspective on LCAH because I used to work here! I LOVED it, both as an employee and as someone who took their pet here. The staff is SO nice and all genuinely love the animals. I know it’s not the least expensive place to go in town, but it’s worth it. You get what you pay for – quality pet care in a professional, clean environment. The owners are always thinking of new ways to improve their hospital, and are very passionate about having the best animal hospital possible with highly trained staff. There are also things you don’t get to see as a pet owner. For instance, although I worked upfront, on my breaks, or at lunch, I often visited the pups in the back who were boarding or recovering from/waiting for procedures. I saw all the staff do this on a regular basis. Once, I walked past one of the larger runs and saw one of my coworkers (who was at lunch) sitting on the floor of the run, reading a book, while one of the patients napped with his head on her lap. We all loved the pets we took care of, often got to know them really well, and treated them like we would our own. Dr. Kuesis took care of my pup, so I had the most experience witnessing her veterinary care, and she was always fantastic. Very polite to everyone takes the time to listen to your concerns, just generally a super nice person (all things I heard from her clients, as well). Wish I hadn’t had to move away from SB and leave this place. Have yet to find a permanent vet for my pups, as my standards are pretty high after coming from LCAH :)
