My cat is ancient, has teeth/gum issues and was losing weight rapidly…read more The staff at Burrwood were gentle and kind. They took care of my old man in the best way they could and even showed me the costs upfront and were not afraid to suggest that if I needed to go elsewhere for price concerns, that they understood. My reason for a 4 star is simply that they're not labeled as an Urgent Care, nor was that said to me when they were recommended via another popular vets office in Ferndale...and its also just not in plain sight. Still, Dominque as well as the rest of the staff we encountered, were the kindest, most gentle people to talk to throughout an anxious ordeal for a furry-loved one. Thank you, thank you for taking such good care of us.

It's incredibly hard to find a good vet these days. Almost as hard (if not harder) than finding a…read moregood doctor for yourself. We were fortunate enough to not have to experience any bad vets before finding doctor alex and his team. By far the most amazing experience we've had with a vet. He even sits on the floor to be in line with the dogs he sees!!! Who does that?! Haha. So thankful for Dr Alex taking care of our baby as if it was his own. Can't thank him enough for what he does! Highly recommend Burrwood and their team. They are truly something special and a rare breed of doctors and team. love you guys!

We had a very sick younger cat. Dr. Carter was concerned and sent us to an ER vet. The ER vet…read morediagnosed our cat with intermediate cell lymphoma, administered chemo and told us that additional testing was not needed. Dr. Carter got the test results and was not convinced it was lymphoma. She had us get different meds and order more testing. Within 48 hours of taking the non-lymphoma meds our cat was acting livelier than she had in months. Additional testing is still not 100% conclusive that we're out of the woods yet, but it is much more likely that our cat DOES NOT have cancer. Our family cannot thank Dr. Carter enough for her care and attention devoted to our lil' baby. We cannot imagine the route we would have taken had Dr. Carter not went the extra mile and treated our cat as if it was her own. We will be Dr. Carter patients for life!

We have followed Dr. Carter from her old practice where she cared for dog Charlie for 15 years…read morebefore he died of old age. She is now caring for our dog Willie. We have found her and her staff to be extremely caring at all times. They treat their animal patients as if they were family. They were very understanding of the process of letting go and euthanizing a beloved pet. I would highly recommend LaFond Veterinary Hospital because of their personal care. Jeanne B

The doctor called me back within a day when I had more questions about my dogs lab results. One of the things I love most is that every person that works there is clearly an animal lover. It's the best when someone celebrates and is patient with your furbaby like it was their own! Also I have no idea what the previous review was talking about in regards to a temple/church being upstairs? I have never seen or heard that. But if there they are also an animal worshipping pagan temple then sign me up!

We waited a several months to get into this practice, but it was well worth it. The small, intimate…read morestafff at The Cat Practice are so knowledgable, kind, and thoughtful. We have three cats that see Rachel, Dawn, and Dr. Houlihan. For those reviewers giving negative reviews because they can't be seen... human doctors are the same and can't accommodate every new patient immediately (especially if they're good). Why don't you book an appointment for the future, come in, and then leave a fair review? We had to continue seeing a vet we did not love until we could get our cats in here. Again, well worth the wait. They are accommodating, fair, and compassionate. I love the parking lot which is rare in Birmingham. The walk to the door is a few feet from your car. It's quiet inside (unless there is another verbal kitty patient). The techs and doctor sit on the cat's level (the floor). They really make them feel comfortable. More than one pet parent can be in the room which is important to us. You can even hold your kitty and take them back to get blood drawn or nails clipped. We never feel rushed or like a number here. Grateful to have our pets as patients here.
