The French Quarter Vet

Absolutely wonderful and lovely people who provide top notch care for my dog.Dr.Scott has been our vet for 5 years.

The staff at French Quarter Vet are professional and kind. Dr. Scott is just the best– a true animal lover; he is the vet for both our dogs and he is always thorough with his examinations. He asks all the right questions and recommends treatment according to the pet (and the family’s) needs. I feel lucky to have found him for our pups!

The Vet and staff are lovely people who truly care about your pet. As a new puppy owner, they have been on-​hand to answer questions, urging us to call and be utilized like a trusted general practitioner for humans.
As a stickler for customer service, they listen to you and do not try to push additional products or unnecessary services. The entire staff has been caring for animals for years and are objective, interested in your animal as an individual. I feel that if a problem did arise, they would handle it with care and concern, sticking behind their reputation as the French Quarter most accessible vet practice.

My husband and I could not be more pleased with the expertise and compassion of The French Quarter Vet staff. From the office manager to the techs to the verterinarians, they are all consummate professionals. Our beloved cat was recently diagnosed with cancer, and Dr. Scott and his staff gently helped all of us — human and feline — through the entire process with love and expert care. Dr. Scott spent much of his valuable time speaking to us on the phone, and he also sent us electronic links to help us through the grieving process. Choosing a verterinary clinic for a pet is as important as choosing one’s own physician, and French Quarter Vet is an excellent choice! Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.

I have owned pets most of my life and I have never met a more caring or more knowledgeable vet than Dr. Scott Griffith at French Quarter Vet. He went above and beyond to help diagnose my Yorkshire Terrier. Zelda absolutely loves him. His staff is very kind and professional and treat their patients love and care. Fabulous vet for all animals!

Simply the very best vet we have ever used. Dr. Scott saved my beloved 14 year-​old dog’s life many times over the last six years. And took great care of him on regular check-​ups and dental cleanings. We would never use anyone else in town — and if we ever move, the new vet will have giant shoes to fill. The staff is wonderful and attentive as well. I simply can’t recommend Dr. Scott and French Quarter vet highly enough.

Dr. Scott took care of my old JRT while we were staying in NoLa for a couple months. I was hesitant to take my dog any place in a city that I knew nothing about. Dr. Scott was thorough, kind, and even gave me a number to TEXT HIM if I had any concerns and questions throughout my stay. I cannot speak more highly of him. He helped my pup get healthy and helped put my mind at ease!

Having the French Quarter Vet around the corner is nothing short of wonderful! I’ve had to rush my 2 dogs there at different times due to unforeseen emergencies in the past when they were younger. The staff is very professional and friendly and really care about their patients. Whenever we pass by their door my 2 must go inside for treats. It’s great having them nearby.

I took my lovely Bengal kitty, Tycho, here when he was just a little kitten. They made sure he had all the necessary vaccinations, and when it was time, they neutered him. Super professional, the doctor and staff are really friendly, and I’ll be back in about a month for Tycho’s checkup.
It’s a bit on the pricier side as far as vets go, but you get what you pay for — a pleasant experience in an environment where they really care about your pet. I’d definitely recommend the French Quarter Vet if you live in the French Quarter or surrounding neighborhoods and aren’t on a super tight budget.

Great staff, great place… and they even have parking available. Call ahead!

Used French Quarter Vet for my English Bulldog puppy’s shots and general visits. Dr. Scott’s staff is very friendly and considerate. My problem came when I dropped my dog off to be neutered when he turned 6 months.30 minutes after I dropped him off I got a call from Dr. Scott telling me my dog had a seizure and stopped breathing while being prepped for surgery. When he was revived he began to vomit up bloody mucus.
I was told that he was being treated with an IV and would be held until he was stable. I was also told of course that he would not be able to be neutered that day. Two hours later I was called to come in and pick him up and was billed almost $ 500 for treatment. The more I thought about what happened the more suspicious I became. After consulting another vet I was told that what happened was likely a result of the treatment he received while being prepped. I don’t think I should have been billed that much for something that seemed to be negligence on the Dr’s part.
Since then I’ve spoken to many friends that have had similar experiences with French Quarter Vet Stories of misdiagnosis, overpriced, unnecessary treatment and sloppy work. Spend your money more wisely with a more competent vet.

Dr. Scott and his team are absolutely fantastic!
Our dog got bitten in the ear the night before Christmas Eve. The ear was split in two and Dr. Scott and his team quickly patched him up!
We called him at 9am and received a return call within 15mins. They returned our call and asked more questions about the incident then told us we can bring him in ASAP. Once he was there he examined him and called me back with a few treatment options. He offered a thorough explanation of what best treatment was. The best was a little over our budget and he offered a different solution at our price point which we selected. An hour later we got a call back telling is they did the better surgery at the lower price of the less expensive option.
Dr. Scott and his assistant rock and our pup is recovering beautifully!

When I moved to New Orleans a year ago, I waited until the last minute to find a good vet. Though the FQV was a little far away and seemingly inconvenient, I chose it for the Unilocal Offer. It turned out that if you call ahead, they’ll let you park around the corner for free! The cost for my cat’s updated shots and rabies registration were about the same as Florida (~$ 100). Dr. Scott was really nice and listened to me rant about my Bonkers’ history without making me feel rushed. A few months later, my cat was having skin issues and I was in between jobs. I called them and they let me pay in installments and even gave me some skin spray to help reduce the costs. Now I live in Metairie, but it’s still worth the drive downtown to bring my pets here.

Friendly, professional, short wait time.

I recently adopted a beautiful boston terrior boxer mix from a rescue organization. Mr. Fenton the kangaroo dog wasnt without his medical issues and being a first time dog parent, I was extremely nervous my first time bringing him to the vet. I chose French Quarter Vet based on all of the reviews on Unilocal and because they were walking distance to my house (and next to fifi mahoneys!)
I have been a life time cat owner and been to NUMERIOUS vets. FQV BY has been the best of all of them. Dr. Scott basically stays on call and provides you with your cell number.. What vet does that? SUPER knowledgeable and great staff. For what I paid in NY for a simple test and antibiotics, my dog had bloodwork, urine analysis, ear cleaning, parasite testing, antibiotics, and skin testing. Seriously. Now every time I pass this place with friends, I say «thats my vet!»
Dr. Scott truly cares about animals and what is in their best interests and it shows. The staff is so great that Fenton is literally excited to go there and say hi (how sweet is that?) Fenton got a very thorough examination and we got down to the bottom of what was upsetting his tummy all for a reasonable price.
Thank you FQV for being so awesome!

So, far, so good! Dr. Scott and his wonderful staff have been very attentive, friendly and easy to work with for me and my favorite four-​legged friend, Tchoups.
Only real downside is accessibility to parking, but it’s the French Quarter, so I don’t expect any different. It’s very accessible from the Marigny, however!

I’m one of those people who feels like their life is spent at the vet. We have a 1-​yr old Boston Terrier and Dr. Griffin has been his vet since the first day we got him. I wouldn’t take our dog anywhere else. When we’ve have to make decisions about expensive tests/​treatments, Dr. Griffin has always presented us with different, less expensive, alternatives (some of which have actually worked!) I truly appreciate this!
The rest of the staff also communicates extremely well! I’ve never had to wonder about how our dog is when I’ve had to leave him there (I receive updates from them throughout the day) and treatments are always thoroughly explained.

I recently moved to New Orleans and I adopted a rescue dog. I decided to take her to the French Quarter Vet after reading reviews here, and the place is definitely as great as people say.
The vet himself (Scott Griffith) is extremely smart. While someone else said they felt he was trying to rush them out, my impression was that he was just very good at his job and could provide an immediate answer to my dog questions.
Besides the vet, everyone who works there is very friendly and you can tell they really love meeting and treating the animals.
I’ve found them to be very accommodating. They have scheduled me within a day or two of calling. They do hand out the free poop bags and holders. I’ve even stopped in with my dog when in the Quarter and they gave her treats and water to cool off.

I chose this vet based on the fabulous reviews it received from Unilocal!I was not disappointed, but I did not feel that the practice was above and beyond – not «as good as it gets.» My opinion may change as I become more familiar with the practice and the staff/​Dr. Scott. There were several little things that help this practice to stand out from other vets I have seen in the past.
*24/​7 access to the veterinarian, Dr. Scott Griffith, via cell phone for established patients
*great staff/​vet techs
*clean, clean, clean!
*a vet with around 30 years of experience
*knowledgeable about the health risks for dogs in the greater NOLA area and the necessary preventative measures that need to be taken for dogs living in this area
And a very cool, but the most random detail that sets them apart:
*They give away free bags on board pick-​up bag holders and refill bags! I think this small touch is so nice! And they told me to stop by any time I needed a refill. Also, the bags are biodegradable! (Chaz told me!) How cool is it that a vet practice cares about the little things as well as being knowledgeable and friendly?
Only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5, I felt like Dr. Scott was rushing me to get out and stop asking questions. I felt pressured to not ask the maybe 4 questions I came in wanting to ask. The whole appointment was forced to move quickly. I will re-​evaluate after another visit with them. Perhaps it was just a super busy day? Or the vet was running late? But there were no other people there when I arrived, and only 2 there when I left.
Regardless, I am 100% confident in the care my dog received and would recommend Dr. Scott Griffith and The French Quarter Vet to any responsible dog owner.

There is no better vet around, if I could give them 6 stars, I would.
I got my first puppy back at the end of August from a reputable breeder, assuming that meant she’d be the very picture of health. I brought her in for her first check up and vaccinations 2 days after bringing her home and she did great– she loved everyone, the entire staff showered her in love and affection while answering all of my «new parent» questions and calming my paranoia.
A few weeks later, possibly even after her second set of vaccinations, Bexley started having diarrhea on a regular basis, enough that I brought her in– terrified of Parvo. After running tests, trying her on different foods and fielding dozens of my phone calls, we finally discovered that my little girl has food allergies/​intolerances. During all of this, the entire staff was amazing! Dr. Scott ensures that you have his cell phone number and know that it’s okay to call if you have any questions. He cleared every test or option with me before going through with it and even talked me out of insisting on some of the more expensive tests until we’d ruled other things out.
The office is always clean, animals always seem happy. I know my dog insists on a visit every time we walk past! The entire staff knows her & is sure to say Hi any time we happen by. The online «Pet Portal» is very useful, I wish every vet had one. Now we’re moving to Denver and I took her in one last time to get checked out, everyone hugged her goodbye and Dr Scott said I could always call him with any questions. I sincerely think that the French Quarter Vet is going to be the thing I miss the most about New Orleans– and with a city this great, that’s a VERY big statement to make!
