re: Affordable and Best Vets

I don't know any vets in Baton Rouge, but my Waiting Room Rule is true nearly all of the time.
1. If the waiting room looks like the lobby in a rundown motel, expect an affordable vet.
2. If the waiting room looks the lobby in a La Quinta, it'll be a little more expensive.
3. If the waiting room looks like a four-star hotel, get ready to remortgage your house.
In the places I've lived, often the best vets had the crappiest waiting rooms.
The exception is 24-hour emergency veterinary hospitals, which often have crappy lobbies and are usually very expensive.

I agree. My vet is on the cusp of NBR, but it's worth it. Vets are nice and courteous, time considerate and affordable.

Sherwood hospital is good for emergencies but I think we are going elsewhere for a vet due to this pricing. $600 for heart worm and updated shots. But that's still pretty high. Thought it was just shots

There are different business models that they use. Some want that motel/La Quinta look and so they'll charge less but cut down on time per appointment with the goal of getting through more cases in a day. Others cater to the clients that want nice facilities and want a lot more face time while they're in the exam room but they have to pay for all of that extra. Good practitioners are found in both extremes and everywhere in between.
The part that is frustrating is when someone wants their vet to have latest equipment/top notch facility but wants to pay those rundown motel prices.
