Description At The Uptown Veterinarian, we have been providing excellent veterinary services for pet owners in Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs since 1981. In 2018 Dr. Anne Lombeida and Dr. Antonio Lombeida decided to acquire The Uptown Veterinarian. It is our mission to provide the highest level of veterinary care for our canine and feline patients and is an opportunity we are honored to have. We support the human/animal bond by providing client education and promoting responsible pet ownership.

This clinic was able to see my dog the same day I called them. I ended up at the ER the night before and they told me that my dogs platelets were low. After speaking to the doctor here, they recommended an xray and ultrasound. They found a tumor on my dogs spleen and she was too weak to operate. The doctor explained in detail and sincerity what my options were. I appreciated the honesty. Unfortunately her prognosis was poor. I opted to try to stabilize her to get her ready for surgery but she was not improving. They were able to schedule for a same day appointment again, this time they helped her cross the rainbow bridge and they were comforting towards me.
I haven't had a vet experience that was as caring and thorough as I've had in the 2 visits here. The staff are so kind hearted, and truly care for the pets. I will recommend to everyone looking for awesome vet care.
I am so impressed and touched with Uptown Veterinarian! Before I had established care anywhere, I had called around to several vets recently asking for advice because one of my cats sniffed a lily (which can be lethal even just from sniffing!). The next day, I got the sweetest voicemail from their practice manager, Blanca, asking about my cat by name and how she was holding up, and saying she hoped the lily scenario didn’t ruin my valentine’s day. Uptown Veterinarian checked back in despite me not even being a client—they truly just wanted to know my cat was okay. I ended up taking her in that day after the incident, and they were able to run bloodwork so quickly. Thankfully, my cat is fine, but everyone I interacted with here was so kind and Blanca even made a point of coming down to meet my cat as I was leaving. Truly outstanding service and care, at a level which is kind of unheard of these days! I will absolutely be taking all my pets here moving forward.
I highly recommend this place, the workers were so nice and the atmosphere there was just amazing. I unfortunately lost my dog yesterday and I quickly called them to ask if I could take her in for cremation, they told me which such a kind voice to bring her in. Although it was a hard experience, throughout the whole process they comforted me and were very empathetic. I felt so comfortable being there and they took great care of my little princess. I am for sure planning on making this place my official go to for my other little companion. Thank you so much for the amazing care your team provided. If there is one vet where you want to feel comfortable and loved I HIGHLY recommend this place for everyone <3
I had the absolute worst experience at Uptown Vet. I took my elderly dog in last week Thursday since he was spitting out his food and we wanted to get him seen by the vet for a potential dental concern. My dog was seen by DR. TEHILLA HELMAN and she concluded that she was "pretty sure" he had a mass. DR. HELAM informed me that if we wanted to obtain more information, we would have to sedate our dog to get more information and a sample of the mass. DR. HELAM inserted a stick into my dog's mouth which he started biting and it was clear she could not manage to observe him thoroughly and the teeth in the back of his mouth. He will be 17 in a month and stopped eating so we planned to put him down last weekend thinking he had oral cancer and that there wasn't a better choice for him and his quality of life. We decided to get a second opinion Friday before proceeding with euthanasia at home. He was seen in urgent care at the Animal Emergency & Referral of Minnesota and the vet was able to examine him thoroughly without sedation and concluded he had abscessed teeth and ABSOLUTELY NO MASS!!!! We were ready to put our dog down based on DR. TELMAN'S FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE PROPERLY!!!!!!!
Uptown Vet is a sweet place, it feels homey and the staff cares. I've been a cat owner for over 30 years, and I'm so happy to have found such a place! I highly recommend them.
