I have a pitbull mixed with black labrador. My pet loves this veterinarian! She gets excited as we pull up to the front entrance and shows no signs of distress coming out. The customer service is outstanding and the people actually care about the well being of one's pet. As a person of color with a pitbull, society tends to look down on both of us individually and together as a unit. This veterinarian has made me and my pet feel welcomed and respected.

I hope everyone’s experience matches my own with this veterinarian. I needed to find a new local vet following my cats recent surgery. Many great that’s were recommended, but this is the one I called. All the way from the staff answering the phone, and the techs, to the vets, everyone has been amazing during my last four exchanges.
They’ve been extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough without me ever feeling rushed or like a number to them.
I wanted to thank them by leaving this review, and while I’m not sure if they’re able to take on new clients at the moment, they are worth

It started with the numerous times they mixed up our pets names, weights, and medication. Then, after weeks of trying (and spending) our kittens diarrhea continued... despite repeated visits. The most frustrating point was when we brought our baby kittens in to get neutered and declawed. After the procedure one seemed to have a lingering injury in his paw. We brought him in to get it looked at and we were told it would be better in time. For weeks he walked with a limp in his paw and we now see a different veterinarian. My family has had nearly a dozen cats declawed in my life and never seen this

The staff at Diamond Lake Animal Hospital are extremely professional and caring. They have even stayed open late for me to pick up medication after work. This type of customer service is nearly unheard of and sincerely appreciated. I recommend this business to anyone looking for a facility to bring their pets for fast and top notch care.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the staff at Diamond Lake Hospital. They looked after our Louis and made his final moments peaceful and dignified.
I have just returned home from travel and was very touched to find a hand written card from the staff. Thank you very much for caring and professional attitude.

This is by far the best vet I've been to. The facilities are extremely clean. None of my animals are anxious to go here at all. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The location is very convenient, located right at Nicollet and 58th. Parking is easy and available. I would highly recommend this place.
