I feel a very high level of confidence in the professional care my dog (and best friend) receive at CLVH. Thank you for understanding how much my senior dog means to me and how important it is to keep her healthy.
Very pleased!
The Doctor did a thorough examination. We discussed future care in detail. When I left, I felt like I was completely informed.
My appointment was scheduled the same day I called — the staff was courteous, knowledgeable, and I could tell they love animals! My dog was diagnosed, treated, and has fully recovered. I finally have a great Vet to take my pets to. Thank you!
The Veterinarian was so very helpful with making decisions for my one year old cat. Saved us money and did what was best for our kitty.
Best doctors and office staff!!!
The whole staff was very kind and answered all of my questions. And took very good care of our little Zoey.
This has been my families Vet for many years; they are always very courteous and knowledgeable about what pet care is needed. They are honest when giving opinions and advice about care.
I am so thankful for the Dr.’s and Staff at the Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital. The level of care for my fur babies has always been top notch by the entire staff!!! In the good times and those hard times, CLVH has the utmost care for our beloved pets. They make us feel like part of a family not a client. Highly recommend!
I have gone to CL Vet Hospital for over 25 years and have complete faith in them. I have always been thoroughly educated by Dr. Nick and his staff. They take the time to answer all questions in detail which helps me feel confident in making decisions.
Everyone who works there is kind and compassionate!
I have been taking my 4 dogs to CL Veterinary Hospital for over two years. Two of my dogs are seniors and I also have a special needs dog that is seeing / hearing impaired with CH. The front desk staff is super friendly and accommodating. I have always been able to get an appointment when needed and appreciate walk-in appointments on Saturday. Dr. Tina has been very patient with all of my questions and concerns as my pack gets older and my nervousness with my special needs girl. She has diligently and professionally diagnosed and treated their stomach issues, allergies, and other viruses they pick-up from doggy daycare. This clinic is the best!!!
Both doctors were great with my big scared dog. They took their time and made both of us feel comfortable. The practice was beautiful inside and very clean. I’m so glad I found this Vet. Also, they got me in very quickly unlike other vets in the area.
The Staff has been very friendly every time I’ve called. We were seen almost immediately, and the Dr. was really great with our Missy. The Vet we had been going to couldn’t find the time to get Missy in even though she was injured. CLVH didn’t even know us and got us in quickly. That’s caring!
Five Star Vet.
The staff and the doctor all seemed to care about my concerns for my senior dog. I didn’t feel rushed, and still the exam, discussion and check out were all taken care of quickly and professionally.
We have had great experiences at this vet for over 20 years. We always appreciate their kindness and concern.
Dr. Clement went ‘above and beyond’ with helping me get Spot safely back in my car after his visit yesterday! Thank you again.
They were great in helping me put down my dying dog. She was in so much pain and discomfort. They were very caring.
Just switched to Dr. Nick. He is knowledgeable, listens, and gives you alternatives.
Love Dr. Tina. So kind and helpful. She actually sat down on the floor to examine my dog and give her a shot.
I can always count on great service at this vet. Caring staff, reasonably priced, and eager to help.
I have been going to CLVH for 15 years. I love the whole staff, they are very warm and caring. The vets take time to explain everything, and give me choices. They are very accommodating, appointments are within a few days and when needed squeeze me in, probably missing lunch. I would definitely recommend them to all pet owners.
Five star rating for CLVH!
The doctor and staff were very concerned about my lab. They were able to treat her quickly and she is feeling much better. Thank you.
I felt I received friendly, prompt care at an affordable rate. Well worth the visit.
The doctor was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly. I also liked that he gave me alternatives to deal with my labradoodle’s issues.
Everything was great!
I was so happy that you got me into the office right away. My “Tuna Girl” had never been sick before in her 16 years and I was very concerned about the little blood droplets and she hadn’t had a bowel movement in four days. She seems fine now. Thanks.
Wonderful vet and staff. So happy I took my cat in today.
Dr. Bemis is a very good veterinarian.
Prompt attention when I call for help in taking care of my sheltie’s health issue.
Excellent. Our previous vet became part of a big corporation so we left to come to CLVH.
I highly recommend this veterinarian.
Dr. Nick and Dr. Tina are absolutely fantastic!
Love them!
I would strongly recommend Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital on 800 East Terra Cotta. They took care of my sick dog in person while no other place would allow it last year.
They treat you like family.
Love Dr. Tina!
They were very good with my dog and reasonably priced.
