Liz Friedman, DVM

Just met Dr. Liz tonight as she came to do a check-​up on Lucy, my beagle who is a Katrina rescue and not doing well with older age. Ends up, and a bit not surprising after her dx, she has heart failure related to underlying cardiac issue. Dr. Liz suggested a treatment plan, phones in prescriptions to Rx of my choice all for very reasonable fees ($ 20 visit and 50 for exam).
Note I live in the FQtr, just called her yesterday afternoon with the concern, and the FQtr is crazy now with holiday and super bowl festivities. Dr. Liz was not deterred, showed up, and delivered. She’ll be on our treatment team now and moving forward til it’s time for Lucy to move on to doggy heaven… which I suspect will be much longer in the future than it would have been without Dr. Liz.
Pros: Knowledgeable, dependable, convenient (comes to you), compassionate, reasonable $
Cons: None, except she does travel back to Los Angeles some to help folks back there where she moved from. Not much of a con however, as NOLA gets majority time now. :-)

Liz has been our vet in Los Angeles for the last twelve years. Although we were sad to see her leave L.A., we feel our loss is New Orleans’ gain. The house calls experience is truly the best! Our dogs are not big fans of going to the vet., so having their physicals done at the house is awesome, and they love Liz. She has a love of pets that causes my dog Casey to wag his tail the whole time she’s examining him. Her combination of Western and Eastern medicine saved us about $ 4,000.00 on a surgery for a problem in Casey’s leg that is completely gone. We were not big believers of acupuncture for dogs, but it only took two treatments and Casey has not limped or had pain for the last four years. We met Liz when she came to our house to euthanize our 19 year old (yes 19) Shepherd mix. The fact that our pup, in his last moments was laying in his favorite spot with us holding him and petting him, and Liz’s unmatched compassion for us and him, made us want her as our vet. She has been our vet ever since and soon became the vet of all of our friends and family. She is truly one of the best!

Our Golden just got her annual physical from brilliant veternarian, Dr. Liz Friedman, who makes HOUSE CALLS. Liz is an incredible diagnostician who has cured our pets of long standing conditions other vets despaired of. She also performed peaceful euthanasias in our garden for our older animals. (In a time fraught with sadness, the comfort of having our dogs in their own surroundings was immeasurable.) In her house call practice, Liz gives exams, administers vaccines, and performs euthanasia. She also works three days a week at Animal Care Center in Metarie. She’s a whip-​smart and compassionate animal doctor.
