“Much appreciation for amazing treatment by Dr. Tina ! My 13 year old Matzi has been treated and cared for by Dr. Tina with long going Addisons and an auto immune disease. Lately he has presented with some very odd different symptoms, a few days of howling and weakness and just recently incidents of labored breathing. Dr. Tina is so good with listening to my rambling list of symptoms, and is still able to decipher and cut through all and devise a treatment plan that is always spot on! I can’t thank her enough for her caring and compassionate care. She’s one of a kind !”

“An excellent animal hospital! I can’t say enough good about Dr. Tina and the entire team. I have been disappointed in the care and price at several other veterinary hospitals in the surrounding area. Our little dog Cody became quite ill out of the blue, so I looked to Yelp for a reputable place to try. CL Veterinary Hospital made room in their schedule to see him immediately. From the very first phone call through the visits required to save him, we were treated like family. I’ve never experienced this level of care from any other veterinary hospital. They were able to quickly diagnose and treat a complex disease… and (get this), at less cost than I expected. I will forever be a grateful and loyal customer.”

“I’ve been coming to this clinic since 1998, back when it was owned by Dr. Sexton. Dr. Nick and the other vets have saved the lives of so many foster dogs, from heart worm to red mange to tumors, and other issues. They have cared for all of our own dogs through the years, and cried with us when we lost them. They are knowledgeable, always tell the truth (even if it isn’t what we want to hear), and don’t try to add on services just to make money. They have a genuine desire to do no harm, and do the best they can to help. If they don’t have the expertise, they don’t hesitate to refer to a professional they have confidence in, instead of trying this and that that may work. I hope Dr. Nick doesn’t retire, but if he does, Dr. Tina will give our dogs the same love and care. Can’t thank them enough.”

“We are absolutely grateful for the kind, caring, intelligent and highly professional veterinarians and staff at Crystal Lake Animal Hospital. Back in September, our family began a really tough journey with Dr. Tina Bemis when she diagnosed our beloved doggie Sarah with diabetes. Our lab mix Sarah was dehydrated, vomiting and staggering on the day we brought her into the office for the first time. Her condition had deteriorated quickly that day. We were truly scared that this may be Sarah’s last day. Dr. Bemis was calming and professional from the very beginning, as she began to diagnose our sweet Sarah. Although we were understandingly devastated and crying in her office, she took the time to calm us, educate us and also give us hope. She made us understand that having a diabetic dog would be OK. She assured us that she would be there every step of the process to educate and aide. Dr. Bemis is trustworthy and smart. She made us feel supported and knowledgeable about our Sarah’s condition. She not only trained us in easy to comprehend terms about diabetic dogs, but also made sure my 12-year-old daughter was part of the learning and training. Just today, we started to feel that Sarah may be starting some vision issues. We called the office and unfortunately, Dr. Tina was not in. We have come to trust her and so we were nervous to take an appointment with another veterinarian at the practice. We decided to take a chance and book an appointment. We just got back from our appointment with her partner, Dr. Nick. Jackpot again! We encountered another super kind, educated, reassuring and honest vet. We have had a couple of disappointing experiences with other veterinarians such as unnecessary medicines, procedures and overselling in an effort to possibly make more money. Both Dr. Tina and Dr. Nick discussed options for care in categories of most expensive option, mid-price option and least expensive option. They discussed the pros and cons of each choice in the decision. We never felt that awful feeling that we were horrible people if we didn’t choose the most expensive option right from the get go. We were able to weigh out pros and cons while considering our family and our budget. We felt completely educated and informed with all options. This practice is so wonderful!! We feel that they are truly good people…kind and honest. Dr. Tina and Dr. Nick are in the business of helping both animals and people. It turns out Sarah is going to be fine, but thank you to Dr. Nick, Dr. Tina and the Crystal Lake Veterinarian team. We feel reassured. If you are looking for a veterinarian for your pets…We would recommend Crystal Lake Animal Hospital 100%.”

Dr Tina was amazing. She introduced herself nicely to my dog (with a treat too) and was very gentle with her.

Dr Tina took the time to answer all of my questions and even told me why she thought what she did (when I touch here and she reacts a certain way it means this…). It was so helpful for me to understand not just what she thought but why. She was also patient with me and my concerns over the treatment plan. And she even noticed some of the things that were concerns to me that I hadn’t mentioned yet.

I left Dr Tina’s office feeling that my dog was getting the best possible care she could get. I will definitely be back as Bailey needs care in the future.

Thank you to Dr Tina and to everyone at the Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital.-Julie Waller

We love you guys. After seeing Dr Tina, Blarney is doing really well. He’s eating 3 smallish meals a day – taking his probiotic, and his poop is more firm-almost back to normal. And we can tell he just FEELS better….He’s singing with Mickey when sirens go by. As always-thanks to your whole staff who treat everyone like family.

Mickey and I had a very good visit with Dr. Nick and the staff, as usual, was just wonderful! I found the explanations and advice that Dr. Nick gave me regarding different concerns or questions about Mickey were very helpful and much appreciated. Thanks for the great care! Mickey just turned 10 years old so his healthcare needs have been provided by you for 8-1/2 years, since I first rescued him. Again, my heartfelt thanks.

I just wanted to take a minute and write a quick note to your practice. An apology note, if you will. Our dog Mooney needed his shots and we “price” shopped. Saved ourselves about $35 bucks. I am writing in hopes that you will promote this to other patients and save them the time and money my husband and I spent by thinking we were saving money……it was a disaster. The staff at the “discount” rated super store were inexperienced and we did not get the attention and care we have always gotten from you guys and Dr. Nick! I will never go back and won’t even bother to write a letter. We are so sorry and won’t ever stray again. The savings we thought we were getting was actually compromise in care. Dr. Nick was where we brought Mooney back to when the other guys couldn’t figure what was wrong after his shots. Dr. Nick, you have had two of our pets now and we promise we will never price shop again. Coming to you ensures, experience, knowledge and superior care. My pet is worth it! In the long run we spent way more than if we would have just come to you! Put me in your newsletter! people who love their pets and their wallets need to know.

Thank-you so much for your warm thoughts concerning our losing Whisper. She was such a special dog, as was her sister, Flash, who died in March of last year. To have had these 2 dogs since 1995 was a real blessing. I still remember bringing them to your old facility on IL 31 at 176 to have them spayed and get all their shots as puppies to make them legal. Our daughter was 8 years old and now is 26 !! We had so many good years with them. The doctors at Crystal Lake Vet hospital always took good care of both Whisper and Flash and I am sure your efforts and care added to their longevity.

Thanks again for many good years of genuine care for Whisper and Flash. We miss both of them tremendously… there will never be another pair quite like them. Who knows, though. After some time goes by we may see about getting some more dogs….we have always had dogs and they have always been special friends to us. We’ll see……….

She’s 14 years old and I attribute that longevity to the care she’s been given by Dr. Nick and the staff at the Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the time that Dr. Nick spends, not only treating Peanut, but also in educating me as her owner in her various health issues so that I can give her the best possible home care. Thank you all for loving what you do, it is evident in your care of your patients.

I think your facility is very well staffed and everyone seems to be real animal lovers. It is also very clean! I can’t ever smell any pet odors at all. These two things help to make my two cats (who have a dim view of car rides and doctors) as comfortable as possible. Thanks!

Tom, I can’t thank you enough for coming back to put Hallie down. You have been a good friend and a great vet. Maybe we can take you, your wife and staff out to dinner one night as we try to get used to being sans dogs. Thanks again.

Thank you ALL very much for being there for Little Kit. He is doing quite fine – back to eating mostly normally, and feeling much better than he has in weeks. The extra care (getting the matting out of his fur and the nail clip) was also very much appreciated by me. I just could not get him to let me get those mats out!! Thanks SO much for that.
I would truly like to thank all of you for the genuine concern you always show and the individualized care you each give to us.

I have never been happier with a vet clinic. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Nick is amazing and very caring. Great with my dogs and that is very important to me! Wonderful Staff! It is a great clinic where everyone is knowledgeable and willing to answer questions and concerns. Running a rescue, I have used many vets and this one is the BEST!

They are always happy to see us and very sympathetic whenever Topaz is ill. They seem to really care about my dog. They take the time to answer all my questions. They are not in a hurry to run to the next appointment. Everyone there treats you as more of a friend than a client. I have often recommended CL vets to other people. Topaz is healthy and happy because of the treatment we receive at CL vets. They discovered her thyroid problem and keep on top of it with blood tests every year. We are so happy with them.

Hello, 
I just wanted to thank all of the staff for the care they showed to Rory & I. You helped to put my mind at ease, & to help alleviate Rory’s discomfort. 
I would like to especially thank Dr. McVey for squeezing us in Tues. (4/2/13). I was terribly worried, & she went above & beyond in her concern & care. 
Thank you all!

What am I going to do in Philadelphia without you guys? Quick, everyone pack up and move to Philly with me, so I don’t have to find a new vet!

PS. Leto says thanks for all the wonderful care over the years – he’s looking forward to stopping in and seeing you all at Christmas, and maybe even getting a Christmas bath with Amanda if we’re back in time! Tell her to keep a spot open for us!

I can’t say enough nice things about the people at CLVH. The bottom line for them is not a dollar sign, but the health and happiness of your pet. My dog will need daily meds and monthly treatment for the rest of his life. I couldn’t even think about taking him anywhere else. Thanks again, Geri and Sam

Confident and caring are two words that come to mind when I think about why I love Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Nick and his staff want the best for their clients and their pets. I rest assured, knowing that my pets are receiving the best possible care. The doctors are confident that they are recommending treatment options that will only serve to enhance our pets’ lives, so that we can focus on the love, affection, and enjoyment that comes from having content pets in our home. We bring our cats for their routine care and vaccinations. When we want to adopt a new pet member for our family, we always come to CLVH to have our new pet checked out.

We had some pets that required extra special care due to chronic illness. The doctors are mindful of treatments that will give the best care while also keeping in mind the lifestyle and financial impact for the owners.

Let’s face it, we love our pets and want the best possible care for them. We consider our pets to be members of our family, and we feel like we are family to CLVH. We know that we can call whenever we have a question, or concern. The staff is always ready to help!

Everyone has been so helpful to us over the years. Dr. Nick gave us 9 extra years with our cat Amy. We wouldn’t take our girls anywhere else.

We first went to Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital because of its convenient location. Seven years later, we’re loyal clients because of its high-quality care and knowledgeable and friendly staff. Everyone there has always been compassionate and sensitive to us through both the good and difficult times we’ve had with our beloved cats and dogs. Thanks for everything!

I just want to say thank you for all that you have done for my 10 month old Pitbull, Gemma. After having a severe allergic reaction to a bad bag of dog food, Dr. Nick treated Gemma and helped us get the food manufacturer to test the food. Without the compassion and dedication of all the doctors and staff at your clinic, I am not sure what we would have done. I will be referring all my friends and family to your facility!!

As I sit here watching little Lily run around with the other dogs, it makes me say thanks to Dr. Ande for making this possible with her work and recommendations to me. I am so thankful to have such professional people as a reference for my dogs. Thank you Thank You. Taylor, Lily and Allie.

Our Golden Retriever was diagnosed with lymphoma back in April 2010. Dr. Nick and Dr. Wegner were both very knowledgeable, thorough and kind. They informed us of all of our options and treatments available. When our lovable boy couldn’t fight off the cancer any more the staff and doctors were so kind and sympathetic to our needs and made his final moments very peaceful. Thanks to all the staff and doctors, we will be sure to use the Crystal Lake Vet Hospital for all our future animal care.

Thank you, Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital!  For your patience and generosity.  For your compassion towards us as well as Zoey.  For understanding an animal is not just a pet, but a member of the family.  For treating us like a member of YOUR family.  Your kindness and caring ways will never be forgotten.
