Acadiana Equine Hospital

"The staff was friendly, courteous, and efficient. The facilities were neat, clean and easily accessible. It was an all-around excellent experience getting my mare A-I'd."

"First this is only regarding the equine center, (small animal with Dr Ashlyn is the best of the best and UNTOUCHABLE to any other veterinary clinic. Please understand this review/opinion is of a separate entity for Acadiana equine.) My husband and I used to think the world of this vet for equine, but lately that has changed. We have been back & forth for over 10 years and referred almost all of our friends here, without issue. For example, previously they allowed my husband and I to come and get medicine if needed seeing they have been on several call outs/on-site visits with our horses for years. Now to call and explain money is tight at the moment (mainly due to the fact we rescue on our own dollar and it has been a very trying time) but I would like to ask about a simple NSAID for our 33+ year old horse, and it’s an issue. I respect the “we don’t know if she will negatively react or what are her new health issues” statement, I am not ignorant and can appreciate that not all clients understand that statement, yet this would be the same prescription she had previously and it was not a problem. But I was not even asked our information to look in the computer for a history or anything. I was advised to “save up and perhaps January would be a better month for us”. It honestly sounded as though not a single ‘care’ was given. We have asked upwards of 3+ times for a price to attempt maintenance/treatment with her cushings and still we are waiting for this information too. As I mentioned having a price for both and can call tomorrow to have them get the information together, it was advised “well don’t call tomorrow because ******* [Purposely leaving his name out] will not be here for his input, so Thursday I can try again because today they are busy also”. Long story short, they used to care and make sure no horse would spend time uncomfortable or in need…now you are merely an inconvenience to them. This is the third time myself or a friend has encountered these issues recently. I hate to even make this post, but Ive had one or two remarkable experiences through Dr Baronne (in Sunset). Not to mention, I have seen the way he and his staff have gone over and beyond for my neighbor and her horses/race horses. In summary, Dr Baronne’s office has the heart that the Equine Center must have misplaced. We learned the hard way, so just trying to help others not have too!"

"Great staff...fair pricing."
