Dr. Lemmon runs the Highlands Veterinary Hopital in Renton, WA. I took my cat to him because his breathing was weird. The good vet said it was all good and sent us home when in fact I learned later that the cat showed all the symptoms of cardiomyopathy. By the time I figured out what was really going on the cat was beyond help, he died soon after. I dont know why all the good reviews, I am horrified at his ignorance. read more

We met Dr. Lemmon during my Little Marley's visit for his Wellness appt. Dr. Lemmon have a calm demeanor and easy going manner. We agree on what he thinks is good for our dog and he gives his recommendation on preventative supplements. We are very happy with our first appt. with him. read more

Such a terrific vet. Such a kind and conscientious human being. I wish I still lived close to his practice and really miss the care of my pets received from him many years ago. I appreciate his style and would trust him completely with all of my fur babies. read more

This business is no longer open according to their phone message... very sad as I was hoping to try them out.

My various pets have benefited beyond measure from the loving expertise that Dr. Lemmon has provided through the years (nearly 25 years!). He has exuded kindness and compassion every single time. His assistant, Diane, also has been most attentive to my pets' needs. If ten stars were possible, I would give them all ten. read more

Dr. Lemmon is a one of a kind, very special vet. He's been a practicing vet for over fifty years, and is one of the pioneering holistic vets in the country. The practice is only open five hours a day, four days a week . But if you can get in, Dr. Lemmon knows more about alternative/ holistic veterinary medicine than everyone else put together. He's part kindly old vet who animals all warm up to. He's part mad scientist. He jumps around the office figuring out what to do for your pet, and he's always right. He's some kind of wizard. read more

Learned quite a bit from Dr. Lemmon. Talked to me about my cat for an hour, and all that time was needed, with her extended history. We will go back,but only if we need to. Chewie read more

After my very first visit there about a week ago, I will not be going to any other vet. THE REASON: I had woke up one morning and my American Pit Bull Terrier had pretty severe rashes underneath her underarms that had appeared over night. I had always thought about visiting this vet after hearing such good things about Dr. Lemmon, but I never really had a good reason to go until then. When I found the rash, I immediately called the clinic and they were able to get me in the same day about an hour after I had called. THE CLINIC: His clinic was fairly easy to find and seems to have been a small house that they had converted into a clinic. It's a pretty old school building with old school decorations, but it is NOT a indicator of the service that you will be provided with. FIRST IMPRESSION: The receptionist was very friendly on the phone and when I came in and we were able to see the doctor almost immediately upon arriving. From what I can tell this hospital only seems to have the doctor and his front desk lady working there, which is actually kind of nice. PRICING: Dr. Lemmon seems to be extremely affordable for the services you get. He charges per half hour ($55) or hour, which you would NEVER see at any other vets. You're lucky to get even 10 minutes with a actual practitioner just about anywhere else. We only needed half an hour for our visit, but I felt that I had learned more in that 30 minutes from this vet than I have ever learned from all the vets I have ever visited combined. MY EXPERIENCE: The entire experience was very personable and informative. Dr. Lemmon knew EXACTLY what he was talking about and was able to suggest a few options for me to take. I love that he works to treat the entire body, instead of just masking the symptoms. And because he does this he has to be extremely knowledgeable about how the body works and sees beyond just the symptoms. I was sent home with a lot of literature for me to read and several different tinctures that I could use on her. After the appointment, I went out and bought one of the tinctures that he recommended (Oregon Grape Root) and started to use it 2-3 times a day on her rashes. Within a day there was already huge improvements. Within 3 days it was completely gone. MY DOGS OPINION: As silly as this may seem, it really ended up proving to me even more why I loved this clinic and doctor. But first a little bit of a back story to help you understand.. The dog that I had taken to this clinic was brought into our home about 2 years ago when her and her 5 puppies were flown from a California shelter before being scheduled to be euthanized. She (and all of her puppies) were extremely emaciated and suffering from SEVERE mange and secondary infections, resulting in almost complete hair-loss throughout their entire bodies. She spent about her first year with us in the rescue's vets office about every week or so for routine skin scrapings so she is absolutely terrified of vets offices and sincerely hates the experience. Because Highlands Veterinary Clinic seems to be based in a home style environment, I feel that that helped my pups anxiety issues immensely. But what floored me the most was how quickly she warmed up to the doctor. Not only was she nudging him whenever he stopped petting her, she even snuck in a few kisses to his face!! WRAP UP: I couldn't be happier with my first experience with this doctor. He really is A BREATH OF FRESH AIR when it comes to the medical community and I can truly say that I don't think I have ever been happy with my experience at a doctors OR vets appointment until this one. **I posted an identical review to their clinics Yelp page as well: Highlands Veterinary Hospital (http://www.yelp.com/biz/highlands-veterinary-hospital-renton) read more

I've been taking my two dogs, a GSD and a Great Dane, here for several years. And I've been very happy with Dr. Lemmon's holistic approach. I live about forty minutes drive away, but it is worth it. The office has a comfortable, warm, feel to it, rather than an institutional/corporate feel. read more

I had visited countless veterinarians in the hopes of figuring out what was wrong with my cat. None of them could tell me why my cat was so sick (couldn't keep food down, lost tons of weight), but was so happy and energetic most of the time. When we took him to Dr. Lemmon, we quickly ran a blood test. He got back to me the very next day with an idea of what was wrong with my cat. Feline kidney failure, that could possibly be treated with the right supplements! Long story short, my old cat is feeling wonderful after taking the supplements. It's like he's aged backwards! He's gained lots of weight, has been eating regularly, and is back to his old self again :D As I've had this cat my entire life (got him when I was 6, and am now 23) it is so nice to have my best friend back. Please go to Dr. Lemmon if you can! He gave us a simple (and very affordable) solution for my cat. (My cat also loves him! He's extremely caring with animals.) I'd recommend Dr. Lemmon to everyone. He's a miracle worker! read more

Dr. Lemmon is a rock star veterinarian. He has full knowledge of Western medicine and will use it when needed, but favors a holistic and preventative approach to allow your pet to live a good life and recover naturally when sick. He's extremely sharp and knowledgeable, has great bedside manner, and our dog loves to visit the office. Dr. Lemmon is a man of integrity. You will not find a trace of greed in this man. He's out there caring for animals and making a huge difference. They broke the mold with Dr. Lemmon. The office assistant, Mary, is sweet and caring, and goes out of her way to make patients (both human and animals) happy. I highly recommend Dr. Lemmon's services. Your pet will thank you for it. Our dog, a sweet and beautiful Pit Bull, has been consistently mistaken for a 3 to 4 year old puppy all the way into her 13th year. read more

25 years ago Dr Lemmon helped us cure our 7-year old Golden Retriever mix from "terminal inoperable fibro sarcoma", a cancer that had spread throughout her body. With the guidance from Dr. Lemmon, three months later our dog was entirely cancer-free, and lived to a ripe old age. Our previous vet had wanted to do laser surgery to remove our dog's entire lower jaw, and then gave our dog only six months to live beyond that. And that was the best case scenario! Thankfully, we found Dr Lemmon who provided us with an array of information and guidance, mostly nutritionally-based, but also inexpensive alternative therapies. In the end, it was our dog's own immune system that killed off the cancer. Thanks Dr Lemmon! read more

Dr. Lemmon is amazing. I found him from a book I read, The Nature of Animal Healing by Martin Goldstein (excelleent by the way). He was listed in the appendix so I looked him up. I've been going to Dr. Lemmon for over 15 years. He is a naturopathic/homeopathic vet (as well as western trained). Not only has he helped my dogs over the years but myself, as well. He is a storehouse of knowledge, and the appts do not last 10 or 15 minutes, but usually at least 30 minutes and sometimes an hour depending on what you are talking about. He has truly made my dogs lives better. I changed my way of feeding and "medicating" my dogs due to him. He also does alternative therapies such as Bowen Therapy and Aquapuncture (similar to acupuncture) which have amazing results for pain and imbalance. PLEASE take your pets to Dr. Lemmon! He will change your life, guaranteed. Western methods of filling pets with drugs and masking problems is NOT the best way to do things (not for people, either! Go to Bastyr!) and once you open your mind to natural and often ancient methods and remedies you will never regret it. I live 26 miles away, in Ballard, and it's taken me up to an hour to get there. Worth it! When my dog was really sick I went twice a week for treatments. I cannot highly recommend this guy enough. Plus, his office calls were the same or less expensive than any other vet I went to before that! For the time he spends with you and your pet, again, totally worth every penny and every minute of the drive. read more

Dr Lemmon is a true "healing" physician, with almost magical handling of pets. We've gone to him for more than 20 years and our collie lived to 17 while our bichon is going strong at 15 1/2. He's literally saved -- and extended -- the lives of many of our friends' and relatives' pets. Dr Lemmon works with a variety of holistic therapies, including homeopathy. The world is a better place because of him. read more

Absolutely, the best holistic veterinarian! Dr. Lemmon gave me samples of raw food to try to eliminate a skin problem with my dog and tons of information for our dog and us. His office is no nonsense strictly for your animal, no frills. If you believe in treating your animals as nature intended not through chemicals and vaccinations which just mask their symptoms and suppress your pet's immune system, Dr. Lemmon is your pet's biggest ally. I used to go to another holistic vet which was way, way more expensive, but Dr. Lemmon is my dog and cat's vet now. read more

Dr. Lemmon is extraordinary! We have been going to him for quite a while, and my only regret is not discovering him years earlier.

This is the first review I've ever written for anything but I felt compelled to share that Dr. Lemmon is a miracle worker. He has been caring for 3 generations of my family's pets. He saved my grandmothers German Shepard's life, and my family has been faithfully taking our pets to him ever since. He is so knowledgeable and has such a strong connection to animals. My dogs are actually excited when we pull up at his office and literally cant wait to get out of the car...I've never heard of this happening at any other vet. He has improved the quality of my pets lives through nutritional guidance, homeopathy, herbs, natropathy, acupuncture, and the list goes on...My shih-tzu/poodle got a nasty antibiotic resistant infection after emergency bladder surgery (done at an emergency vet, not Dr. Lemmon) and I was told by 2 vets that she wouldn't make it (after I spent hundreds of dollars on all kinds of antibiotics, including one made for horses!) I finally went back to my roots and took her to Dr. Lemmon, he gave me an liquid herbal mix and two weeks later he tested her and she had no trace of the infection...that was 6 years ago and she's still doing great! If you're looking for a trustworthy holistic vet, dont hesitate to give him a try...you won't regret it and your pet will thank you! read more
