I had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience with this vet and will never return…read more I brought in my 11-year-old husky after he started having trouble with his leg. I was told he had a completely torn ACL and needed a very expensive surgery. This was alarming enough, but things quickly went downhill from there. I wanted a second opinion, which any responsible pet owner should be able to get without resistance, yet the clinic refused to send over his bloodwork and scans when requested. After a lot of back and forth, they finally sent the records--but unbelievably, they had scanned the wrong leg. This kind of error is completely unacceptable, especially when it leads to such a serious (and costly) diagnosis. It makes me question the accuracy of everything they told me. To make matters worse, they refused to offer any refund or even a credit despite their mistake and the stress they caused. Between the misdiagnosis, poor communication, and lack of accountability, I have zero confidence in their care. I strongly recommend others seek veterinary services elsewhere. *Go to Diamond Hill where they have empathy and compassion. *

Dr Dixon came on to me wanting to run her fingers through my long beard and long hair, coming at me rolling & curling her fingers while expressing how she really, rEAllY liked such men. Examined my pet Daisy while eyeing me up and down. Creepy on top of creepy. They know I'm Gay. Could not make a followup appointment for much needed dental work trying 3 separate calls to no avail. 3 separate attempts after running out of antibiotics for bad teeth. They came back with "how did she do on the antibiotic" asking me for what sounded like a professional vet observation which I am not. Then said we want to give her another 20 day regimen of the antibiotic, but made no followup appointment ... ... ... Don't animals become immune to too many antibiotics like humans do? Becoming frustrated I said screw you. My records arrived in the mail with the wrong second dog added "Choo Toy ... Poodle, Toy ... Neutered". Some kind of joke? They said he's on your account ... I am Gay, but never owned a Toy Poodle. Did I pay for someone else scam? Paying for combined services for a pet I DO NOT OWN? Always wondered why they had to have a sign up on the wall "Anyone saying abusive things to staff will be told to leave with records following close behind". Something like that. Why would you need such a sign in the first place? They hung up on me after I apologized and tried to file a complaint about the "Doctor's" behavior, trying to get the additional antibiotics for my next different vet appointment 10 days in the future. Refused me the needed antibiotics. They're the ones with a problem ... Won't accept a valid complaint ... Plus Endangering my dogs health. While sitting 2 hours past my scheduled appointment, a lady complained they had killed one of her pets taking it into the back recently! ¡ Happy to move on ! Hope you find someone to satisfy Dr Dixon. I've never been interested or available but I am insulted by it. Damaged by it. Embarrassed.

We drive from Lexington even though there are emergency vets a bit closer. The last visit was when we recovered our male whippet Jaime, who had been lost in the woods for 11 days. He was covered in ticks, had lost ten pounds, and had several bite wounds. Dr. Tubman sewed him up, got rid of the ticks, and put him on doxycycline to prevent Lyme disease. Another time we had to rush our whippet Scout in when she collapsed in the yard. We had Dr. Tubman that time too. She opened Scout up, but unfortunately she had hemangiosarcoma and the tumor had burst. It was simply devastating, but Dr. Tubman handled the euthanasia with such kindness and compassion. Every time we have had to go there, the staff has been wonderful and doctors are exceptional. I give them the highest recommendation!

Dr. Baker told us what she thought was wrong in simple terms, gave us options, and let us ask ALL our questions. Even though they had a couple urgent cases, we didn't feel rushed. They had all the meds on-site and we were home in under 2 hours. They encouraged us to call if we had any questions over the weekend (which we did, and they answered questions over the phone). And then to my surprise, they called a week later to check on our dog and ask how she was doing. I've been to quite a few emergency vets in the last 10 years and this one was one of the best. Highly recommend, especially if you're scared for your fur baby or it's after-hours.

Abandoned in a Critical Time - No Empathy, No Warning, Just Termination…read moreI had been a client at Lake Forest Animal Hospital for years (including when I lived in the area), and I had high hopes for Dr. Angela Holley and the team to help my sweet dog Teddy with his severe, chronic ear infections. Instead, this experience left me shocked, heartbroken, and feeling completely abandoned during one of the most traumatic moments of my pet's life. My feelings and thoughts were valid and are valid. My panic, shock, and emotional pain are completely valid and heartbreaking. Teddy's situation is absolutely devastating: losing complete hearing in one ear, enduring constant pain despite multiple treatments, and now facing major surgery like Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA) to remove the entire ear canal. After pouring thousands--around $4,000--into his care with no lasting relief, the prospect of another 3-5k bill feels like an impossible blow, especially when I'm already exhausted, burnt out, and emotionally strained. Teddy has suffered from painful, recurrent ear infections for a long time. I drove 3 hours from Raleigh, NC, through heavy traffic and slow-moving trucks, just to keep his appointment here. I called ahead to warn them I was running late due to unavoidable delays. When I arrived, the staff seemed frustrated and treated me like an inconvenience. They refused to clean his ears that day (even though another vet had managed it despite his pain and resistance), insisting I give him prednisone first and do the cleaning myself at home. I was terrified--I'm not a vet, I have no training, I was already overwhelmed and traumatized by his ongoing suffering, and I felt unequipped to handle a complex, painful infection safely. I brought him back a second time; they sedated him, cleaned his ears, and placed the monthly medication (the same one that had failed multiple times before and clogged his ears again). I had explicitly told them it hadn't worked previously, yet it was repeated. I emailed the office calmly expressing my disappointment and concern that Teddy wasn't improving, sent photos of his ear, that the same ineffective treatment was used again, and my worry about no oral antibiotics (as a non-vet, I feared the infection spreading). I have the emails as proof: I was never rude, never put down the vet or staff, never threatened anyone, never yelled, never cursed, and never did anything aggressive. I simply stated facts and apologized if I came across poorly, explaining my stress and fear for my dog. Recently, Teddy was diagnosed elsewhere with complete hearing loss in one ear and needs Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA) surgery (3-5k cost). Desperate, I called Lake Forest for a surgery estimate--only to be put on long hold and then told Dr. Holley had terminated our client relationship entirely. No prior notice, no phone call, no discussion. Reasons cited: my concerns about care, stating that he was better after the ear cleaning and then changing my opinion that he wasn't getting better, not picking up meds (while I was out of town, dealing with snow, my own health issues, and distance), and implying I was difficult. They dismissed Teddy's pain response during handling as him being "dramatic." This is not how veterinary care should work. When a pet is in constant pain, losing hearing, and facing major surgery, owners need empathy, not abandonment. My concerns came from a place of love, fear, and trauma--not rudeness. I did not know at the time he needed his ear canal removed. I did not know why he wasn't getting better and I was SCARED. To be cut off without warning in the middle of a crisis feels punitive and unprofessional. These are animal healthcare providers; they should understand that pets are family and that owners panic when their loved one is suffering. I'm beyond disappointed and heartbroken. I would not recommend this practice to anyone facing a serious or chronic pet health issue. Seek a vet who communicates, shows compassion, and doesn't drop clients when they advocate for their animal during difficult times. Teddy deserves better. So did I. I am Thankful that my new vet is a lot more compassionate, empathetic, and communicative. His new vet also sent me home with pain meds which Dr. Holley did not and he yelped really loudly when I picked him up. I also told them he needed to go to the bathroom before sedation. They said he needed to be sedated soon for them to be able to do it. When I arrived, they gave me judgmental looks, and Teddy was barking a lot. It's because he was trying to tell them he needed to go to the bathroom. I took him to potty and he pottied a long time. He was taken beforehand but with the prednisone, he needed to have been taken out beforehand.
