Lakeview Animal Clinic Pewaukee, Wisconsin

Very nice, professional services. Testing was expensive but worth the results.

Saved my dogs life.. Thank you!

Dr. Anna and ALL of her staff are phenomenal. My dogs are my family and I trust them with Lakeview, which is saying a lot. They go over and above, which I can't thank them enough for. Even my more shy and skittish dog immediately was more warm and open with Dr. Anna and the vet techs than I have ever seen her with strangers.

I take my dog Onyx here, as well as my cat Mimi. They have wonderful service and my dog literally runs to the door when we get there, excited to go in. He’s a very anxious guy normally and I am shocked at how much he loves the staff here. As for my cat Mimi, she got sick with a respiratory infection however the vet covering for Dr. Anna couldn’t diagnose it. I was terrified of losing her and he referred me with great direction to an emergency vet not too far away. There they were able to figure out what was wrong with further examination, ultrasound and tests that aren’t available at the clinic. She was asleep for 3 days not eating, and was drooling heavy amounts of saliva out of her mouth, scared me enough to be concerned as she is only about 2 years old. I love the staff they get so happy seeing both of my animals and they are fantastic as far as customer service and they are genuinely so friendly and loving.

First Dr. Anna Schwister is superb as a doctor. I have nothing bad to say about the quality of vet care. This review is for the Lakeview clinic as a business... As a business their philosophy is stuck in past, not understanding that they are here to serve their customers not the other way around. They are pushy as far as what services you will need for your pet, constantly forcing you for more and more. I would prefer to be informed and educated and have a choice left up to me what if any I would accept. That has been happening for a while and when I reject a particular treatment I would be "talked to" to scare me into it as "you really must...". Thanks, no thanks. The last straw for me was when I made an appointment for my dog to get legally required shots. After arriving at the clinic I was told that they did not have an appointment but they can get me in as an emergency walk-in and of course charge me nearly double for the service because of the "emergency", yeah right. Unprofessional at best, extortion more likely. If you make a mistake with scheduling have enough professional aptitude to take responsibility for your screw up. To all of you shopping around for a vet, please don't use this as a sole reason not to try this clinic, but do remember to fire them if you try them and have a poor experience(s). There are many vet clinics all around to choose from. I am looking for a new vet now that knows how to run a modern business. Too bad. Adios!

Dr. Anna is very intelligent and compassionate. She genuinely cares about your animal and provides straight forward answers. She's a bit costly but I won't take my cats and dog anywhere else!

Dr. Anna Schwister cancelled my dog's pre-approved necessary medications for auto shipment because I quit my job for feeling unsafe during the Covid-19 outbreak. Did not give me a reason why when I emailed her asking why. Have not heard anything in return regarding this. Had to take my dog asap to another clinic to be able to continue my dog's necessary medications. I would provide picture proof if I could but Google does not let me post pictures in my review.

Staff is rude and not helpful. They just want your money.

Dr. Anna and her staff are wonderful! They take great care of our Noli Cannoli, and are always welcoming to my kids when they come along.

We have been bringing our cat to Lakeview Animal Clinic for several years and had always had the best experience. You can really trust Dr. Anna and her staff with your pet! My cat is a true "scaredy cat" and Dr. Anna and her staff always are very patient and make my cat feel so comfortable. You are always greeted with a smile and your pet is truly in the best hands here!

Dr. Anna is always a pleasure to speak to and provides great customer service. I recommend all my new clients to the area looking for a new vet without hesitation.

Don't know who the jackhole is writing false reviews but we have had nothing but class act service from her and her clinic...we even followed her from the clinic she was at before she opened her own.....stand strong Dr. Anna.

We moved our 6 4-legged kids over to Lakeview. A Veterinarian we had in Jefferson, WI make a career change and we vowed to follow her wherever she went. When I spoke with Dr. Teeter she was telling me how great the staff was and how nice the clinic was. I was surprised when I walked in and was greeted immediately with a warm welcome. Helen (cat) made herself at home in the exam room (she’s never done that before). The staff had a mat and towel on the exam table so it wasn’t cold for her and she immediately went exploring. I knew the high level quality of care that Dr. Teeter provided already and I can see why she was so excited for her new career. The techs were great and I loved being able to sign up for an appointment online. Kudos to Dr. Anna for bringing on Dr. Teeter!

Everyone at Lakeview treated my dog like he was part of the family. The reception and examination rooms were spotless and definitely pet friendly. Medications, examination, and procedures were explained in detail and there wasn't any "up-selling". In fact, I was offered several options that actually saved money and were less invasive for my dog. We've been using Lakeview for several years and love it!

As a local Lake Country area resident, I've heard nothing but good things about your clinic, and I fully support your efforts to purge the false bad reviews that have been posted by vindictive people hiding behind their keyboards.

This is a top notch clinic with highly professional, caring and knowledgeable staff.

So caring and compassionate to my 2 boys!! Always available when there is an "emergency." Wouldnt dream of going anywhere else!.

Our cat had problems for months. While she was genuinely worried about our cat's health, it felt like Dr. Schwister was lukewarm to my concerns and questions about testing, assuring us it was a food allergy (despite tests coming back with only one result, which was actually missed on the report until we called to ask for copies of the paperwork. Probably a rare error, but it happened). Months and more issues later, we'd had 2 emergency visits and no success with food allergy trials. At the 3rd emergency visit, she was hospitalized and given an ultrasound. It was very likely GI cancer (we chose not to put her through biopsy, so we can't say 100%, but WVRC seemed rather sure). It was very late stage when she died 4 months ago. Had we pursued further imaging or tests previously, We might have started kitty chemo drugs about a year earlier. I know there's little this clinic could have done beyond refer us for certain things, but being given that recommendation might have been valuable. I don't feel comfortable with a vet who claims to know for sure what's going on even when exam after exam and trial after trial fail to yield good information. While sooner detection may not have made much of a difference for our kitty (it was very advanced, as I said), I just wish there would have been more of an effort to investigate possibilities given the severity of the symptoms. I wouldn't have minded treating it as a food allergy (that's a very Occam's Razor approach) if we could also have ruled out other possibilities along the way. I'd like to think that this won't be the case for everyone. Maybe Dr. Schwister thought I just seemed paranoid, which is fair given the field she works in. My experience there, other than feeling lost in this case, was always friendly, clean and professional. For most pets, I think this clinic really does do its best. Dr. Schwister was very nice and knew her stuff, I just didn't feel like she gave enough credit to our experience. Hopefully in the future this won't be the case. Nobody's perfect, and cats are hardly predictable. I can't hold this grudge forever because everyone really did try their best and have our best interests at heart. I guess I'm just sharing my story to say that I don't think you should avoid this clinic, but just know that if any vet's recommendations feel insufficient to you, don't be afraid to seek second opinions. No one person can be right 100% of the time, and it's on us as much as it is on our vets to look into things. I want to clarify that I don't blame Dr. Schwister for our cat's downturn; she was at a phase of life where palliative care was probably all we could give regardless. I hope if you choose Lakeview that it will be a good fit for you, and that you won't let my experience scare you off. Just felt I had to express it regardless. ❤️ (NOTE: I made a few edits while writing this because initially I was emotional and a bit unfair. Hopefully my more clear-headed review text is helpful and not just grumpy!)

Dr. Anna and her staff are amazing. Would never take my dog anywhere else. Please beware the negative reviews on here are completely false. Her building inside and out is immaculate and the staff is always friendly, helpful, and loving to my dog. Many of my friends take their pets here and I have never heard any of them having anything but praises for Lakeview. In addition when people post on the local Facebook page asking for vet recommendations Dr. Anna is always listed by many as a recommendation.

We have been taking our two girls to see Dr Anna ever since she opened. We have always had a great experience and often recomend her clinic to others. I won't take my St Bernard and Bernese mix anywhere else.

Dr. Anna and staff have been fantastic caring for our pets throughout the years, great location, and easily accessible, always. By far, the most caring team around.

My wife has been taking our dog to this establishment for years and the attention to detail is great.

Amazing service and even better Veterinarian!!!

I have had animals and been going to veterinary clinics for 45 years! We adopted an Aussie 5 years ago. First vet/day care I took him to described him as aggressive and anti social. Someone recommended LAH. First visit my guy was sweet obedient and literally ran to Dr.Anna when he saw her. Whoa..my guy is a great judge of character and enjoys his visits to the LAH.

Dr. Schwister and her team have done a great job caring for all three of our pets over the years. Everyone we have worked with have been very professional, thorough and friendly. Would recommend to anyone in the Lake Country area.

We LOVE this place and Dr. Anna and her staff!! From the very first day we came in, we were greeted with friendly, courteous staff. Dr. Anna is so sweet and gentle with our little Shih Tzu that I never worry she won’t be treated with great care and love. Dr. Anna truly loves her calling, and we feel so blessed to have her in our area.

Will never go anywhere else, amazing staff great service and they really care about the animals. They will work their magic to help you pet the best they can.

Heard about this place on this news.. I never been here at all, but just want to say keep fighting/standing up for your clinic..!!! Don't let the fake reviews get to you guys

Very friendly people who care about your bets well being

Dr Anna and her staff are wonderful. They have always taken great care of our pets- especially as they have gotten older and more frail. Highly recommend them.
