Pros

Flexible hours and no weekends

Cons

Lakefield is a newer vet company that is currently buying up established vet clinics. They have proven that their focus is solely on the bottom line and nothing else. Staff is overall unhappy. If you have any concerns or challenge any policy, you are seen as a problem and are usually eliminated, either by firing or by running you off. Their lack of empathy for their employees is more and more apparent. Their upper management don’t listen to the concerns of those on the front line. They respond only to numbers and nothing else. They hire individuals with no veterinary knowledge to fill roles that are directly in control of each hospital which hinders their ability to relate and problem solve effectively. The company has potential, but is lacking in leadership. If you join the team, don’t ask questions and watch your back!

Lakefield Veterinary Group Response

We appreciate the response and feedback from your time at Lakefield. Unlike most veterinary groups, Lakefield reinvests most of our profits back into our hospitals, such as facility expansions, start-of-the-art equipment, and employee programs. Since we are a privately owned company, we are not beholden to outside investors and are keen to listen to our doctors and para-professional team members in our hospitals. This is why we prioritize being a medically driven company and give doctors the total freedom to practice. Our leadership team not only consists of former AAHA members, but we also have a Medical Advisory Board that represents the interests of each of our regions.
