I came to Dr. Hess a couple years ago after receiving subpar emergency care at another animal hospital and have stuck with MidCity Vet ever since! I love that they are dog AND cat people. They went above and beyond, without prescribing useless treatments just to run up the tab. Can’t recommend them enough!
We have had our dogs in the care with Dr. Hess for years. She is a very honest, patient, and kind doctor. Thank you also to every staff member for their understanding and kindness through the years. It can be so hard to find a place to trust your life companions with, we cannot recommend Mid City more!
My name is Camden and I am a 13yo golden retriever. My mommy and daddy brought me here last week. We had to leave our house and my big back yard in Florida after that mean Hurricane Helene lady flooded our house so now we live at our apartment in New Orleans while mommy and daddy fix our house. I normally go to a really nice doctor at home, but when I started coughing a lot and mommy felt a big lump in my throat they brought me to Mid City. It was right after that day with all the parades and loud noises, I don't like them very much but, I digress. When mommy brought me in, the doctor was so nice and gave me lots of scratches behind my ear. . . I do like that. She started to tell mommy some things and even though I didn't know what she was saying mommy was crying so I knew it wasn't good. They stuck some needles in me, I definitely didn't like that, but I'm a boy so I didn't let them know that it hurt. But after that mommy took me home and I got a pup cup, they're really yummy. I got a call but daddy took the call because I don't understand much more than "want a biscuit," and it was the nice doctor. She told him about my test results. . . I studied hard for those tests so I was hoping for good grades. Unfortunately, I have something really bad but the doctor made daddy feel good and told him exactly what to do. I noticed that the phone rang a lot over the next couple of days and it was the wonderful people who gave me lots of pets and scratches behind the ear. They were calling to see how I was doing but also to see how mommy and daddy were doing. I think I was doing better than them. Daddy took me to another place because I have cancer and I need to have treatments so I can keep living a fun golden retriever life, plus I can't let my brother be alone without me. . .I mean who would he play with. While I was getting my treatment, daddy said that they called again. Here is where they almost made daddy cry again. They were calling to tell him that one of the tests they had ordered still hadn't come in and that the new place where I was getting my treatment was running a better test that made their test irrelevant and because the lab hadn't run it yet, they cancelled it and wanted to refund daddy a lot of money. I know mommy and daddy had told them that because we lost our house and are rebuilding it that we are not in a great financial situation right now and this gesture made daddy so happy and it made me happy too because I have a doggie sense of when people are good or bad and this just confirmed that I knew these people were good. Mommy and Daddy are going to take my brother, Calvin, there this week to get his "tires kicked" (I don't know why daddy says that but he says it every time we go to the doctor) and I heard him tell mommy that he really likes and trusts Mid City Vet. I'm looking forward to seeing them again too. They give great ear scratches!
Dr. Hess, Dr. Hartdegen, Dr. Maddox and their incredibly amazing staff are the absolute best at what they do. They have taken such great care of our puppy and 2 cats, like we are all family. We recently lost our cat, Mook, who lived to be at the old man age of 19 years old. They did everything they possibly could to ensure he was living his best life after being diagnosed with kidney disease over 2 years ago. They were able to prolong his life by helping us change his diet, water intake, etc to make sure he was getting everything he needed. A month ago, after his passing, they helped us in ways I've never seen a Vet has done before. They even sent us a card with such kind words that I cried tears of joy at the thoughtfulness and time they took to write each note, which helped me remember my sweet Mook even more. I'm sorry for the long winded review, I just think it's really important that people fully understand the kind of care they are getting when they go here, it's not just getting your pet in and out, it's white glove service, and they will love the sh*t out of your pet and would do anything for them.
