Freitas Lloyd A DVM

Number isn’t working as of June 5^th, 2014. However, Lloyd Freitas did a near perfect cropping ear job on my Doberman Pinscher. Also, the follow up care and maintenance was described well and now 7 years later, all is well. Dr. Freitas came highly recommended from other Doberman owners and I continue to support.

I think Dr. Freitas is a lovely man. His office is in a poor part of town & his prices seem geared to be within reach of the people likely to live nearby who need his services. If your pet is in dire need & your funds are low, this may be an acceptable option.
On the other hand, the office is dirty. The equipment is archaic. The level of professionalism in the office seems low to moderate. The filing system seems chaotic & inadequate.
I could not recommend going here unless you had to.

Sadly to say, my experience is not so happy.
My sweet baby girl, little puppy so full of life ended her life in Dr Freitas care.
My sweet girl was very healthy, she had been examined by other veterinarian not long before, and found her 100% healthy.
Her parent had been tested and examined by several veterinarians and they are found %100 healthy.
Not only that I lost my baby way too early, she was just 3 months old but it seemed like Dr Freitas did not seem to care about.
He only seemed to care is to get away without paying.

Dr. Freitas not only dispensed wonderful veterinary care to my two sickly cats, he also dispensed wonderful advice on how to lead a happy life. He and his staff were compassionate, courteous and everything you wish for in a veterinarian. He even called later in the evening to make sure the cats were doing well and advise me on what foods to give them. I recommend Dr. Freitas 100%.
Not only did he provide my cats with kind gentle care, both cats are immediately behaving like their normal selves again, after having been sick for the last few days.

Dr. Freitas is a compassionate and sensible veterinarian. He has been caring for pets in Oakland for a very, very long time. I have one friend who has taken her dogs to him for the past 10+ years, and a friend of hers took his there for probably 20 or more years before that.
The first friend I mentioned had a small Chihuahua puppy who contracted parvo, and had to be euthenized. Afterwards, when she was so upset, Dr. Freitas let her stay in the consulting room until she could collect herself, though it was obviously much used. An extremely kind gesture.
My daughter took her cat to Dr. Freitas, afraid that she might have feline leukemia, since our neighbor’s cat was diagnosed with that. He handled her case really well — telling her clearly why and how this diagnosis works, and helping to alleviate her fears. Her cat is fine, and we felt good about what he told us.
A couple of weeks ago, I was concerned because my cat had some blood in her urine. I called Dr. Freitas to see about bringing her in to see him. He asked me a couple of questions about her diet, and then told me to alter certain things, and go get a certain type of food for her, and give it to her for several days, and I did that. She stopped having blood in her urine in a couple of days, and is obviously feeling much better. I didn’t need to bring her in and he was able to help her without even seeing her. THAT is invaluable to me. I so appreciate being able to work with an ethical, kind and sensible professional.
