1. I recently started using Lake Pine for my foster cats. Dr. Katz, and her enthusiastic staff, have been so accommodating and welcoming to our rescue by helping give back to our local community by way of helping us help our foster animals in need of medical care (and there is such a need with homeless/abandoned animals). I’ve never had any problems getting my kitties in same day when needed. I love the family-like atmosphere and small, close-knit staff, that work so well together. You are not just another person walking through the door, but treated more like an extension of their family. Giz, Michael, Colleen, Erin, Jonie…(and a few others I’m still getting to know) are welcoming faces that greet me, (well, my kitties) with a smile. Dr. Katz takes the time to answer your questions and explain anything that may be going on with your pet. I love her common-sense approach to veterinarian medicine. You don’t walk out of her practice feeling like you’ve been “nickeled and dimed.” You get honest, quality, preventative medical care for your furry friends. They don’t try to sell you on diagnostics that aren’t medically necessary. As a result, I’ve started switching my own personal pets’ care to Lake Pine. I will happily recommend them to any new/existing pet owner, and in rescue, have many opportunities to do so working with the public. I’m absolutely thrilled that Dr. Katz and her staff are one of our rescue veterinarian partners and now, my personal vet for my multitude of fur babies. If you’re new to the area and looking for a vet to establish your four-legged friend with, give this team of veterinarian professionals an opportunity to love and care for your fur babies.

We recently had to put down our elderly cat who had cancer. They made a house call so he could be euthanized at home, surrounded by the people who love him, not scared in a vet’s office. It was so comforting to know that we were able to make the end of his life as comfortable as possible for him. A few days later, we got a condolence card in the mail, signed by the entire office staff, which brought both my 10 year-old daughter and I to tears. It was such a kind, lovely gesture, and certainly not something I would have ever expected. We also have a dog, who they’ve been wonderful with. We just recently adopted 2 little kittens, and I am delighted and reassured to know that we already have such a wonderful vet, who I know will provide excellent care for our new little additions.

  3. I moved here four years ago. Within days my cat Barnaby was very ill. I walked into the office and they helped me right away. Barnaby and I had quite an experience:  a month of fluids everyday, cat scan, surgery, blood tests. Everyone was wonderful and they took great care of me too! They saved Barnaby! Barnaby now goes in three times a week for fluids. He is really doing well. We have added another cat, Bella, to our family. She is a rescue through PAWS. Obviously I would recommend LPAH to everyone. If you want a practice where they love your animal where they give extraordinary care then you should be going to LPAH!

  4. I take two large dogs and a cat to them for care and occasional boarding. Their service is excellent and are highly capable of diagnosing any current or potential problems. Good people too!

  5. This is a good animal hospital–not one of the big corporate hospitals which is out of the reach of people like me on a fixed senior income and there is a 10% discount here which, added to the reasonable pricing, makes it a good fix. Most of all, Dr. Katz knows her stuff (I’ve had dogs for forty years) and the staff is very accommodating and congenial. I have not had a problem with a same day appointment.
