Metairie Veterinary Ophthalmology Specialists

My Shih Tzu Axel had an eye injury ( ulcer) & he was seen & treated at my local vet for 4 weeks , than they referred me to see Dr. Mooney for further treatment as his eye seemed to not be getting better. I was very satisfied with my visit there. It has only been 3 days & his eye is looking better already. Will be there in 3 days for follow up check up on his eye. Dr. Mooney estimates it will take 3 weeks to clear up his eye with meds she prescribed. He is on 4 eye drops & 1 oral med . 3 of the eye drops have to be applied to his eye 6 times per day & the other drop twice a day, every 12 hours & oral med twice a day. I am happy as long as his eye can be healed with meds vs surgery. All the meds my local vet gave me for him was different except for one. Dr Mooney told me she needed to make sure that the right meds were given in order to heal his eye injury. I suggest if your furbaby gets an eye injury , see a specialist like Dr. Mooney by the second week if eye is not better ❣

Dr. Mouney is very knowledgeable, and her staff is exceptionally courteous and helpful. The office is clean, and provides an atmosphere that is pleasant for both the owners and pets. Unfortunately, these are the only positive things that I encountered in my visit. Mr. Mouney herself is far from courteous and is condescending in nature. It is wise that when you book an appointment with her office that you discuss specific pricing for her services, in addition the whole time while in the visit discuss with her what she is doing and how much it will cost, EVERYTIME SHE DOES SOMETHING. In my experience she did not discuss or even speak to me about my pet’s health, or what she was doing. She talks to her assistants the whole time, without even including you in your pet’s health; I kept asking questions in which were answered with condescending remarks. She will rack up your bill and will not disclose any pricing till after the services are rendered. I have never been to a vet, which does not discuss options with you before rendering services. For instance she placed a contact on my dog’s eye, that cost 85$, just for it to fall out 4 hours later. She did not disclose or even try to communicate with me the necessity or the option to add the contact. In addition, I never even got a call back when I had questions about my dogs health or even a follow up call after spending almost 500$ rather than the quoted 160$. While she is very knowledgeable in her field, it is clearly evident through her practice, her lack of communication skills, and the way she conducts her business that she is in it for the money rather than a passion or your pet’s health. I would not recommend her.

MVOS for dogs: we have been very pleased with the care we are receiving for pre-op work to surgery. Staff is very friendly and they take the time to make sure you understand everything that pertains to your pets issue and go above expectations.

Dr. Mouney is exemplary! She and her assistant Gina are very caring for their patients 🤗

Excellent veterinary ophthalmology care for both my referred patients and my personal chihuahua who underwent cataract surgery.
