Everything went great! Tori has never ventured out of her carrier at a vet's office until I started taking her to LAKE FOREST ANIMAL HOSPITAL. I would typically have to pull her out of carrier. Today, she bonded right away with Tony (technician). I especially like the fact that there are no stairs or steep ramps to climb to enter this hospital, and the entrance doors are nice and wide, which makes it easy to access hospital, especially when trying to enter with a pet carrier or anxious dog or two. The back entry has a flat concrete walkway (ground level) for anyone who has a physical disability. The front entry has just the one step up at curb--no stairs to enter hospital. I love these entry features! I also like the fact that the front exam room door is solid with no glass, whereby other clients can't view inside exam room. The back door to exam room has some glass so you can see the lab area where technicians work--THERE ARE NO PEEP HOLES in exam room back door. Who wants to be peeped at; thankfully, I don't do business at such a vet clinic/hospital.

LAKE FOREST ANIMAL HOSPITAL is providing my pets with LOVING and COMPETENT care.  Dr. Mark Liberto's reputation for being honest, skilled, knowledgeable and experienced helped in making my decision to choose LAKE FOREST for my pets' care--forever!  Dr. Liberto is easy to talk to, and he listens, too.

I'm excited about the hospital's renovations; the hospital is more than twice the size of the old hospital (approximately 2.5 times the size of the old facility), which I believe makes LAKE FOREST ANIMAL HOSPITAL one of the MOST UP-TO-DATE, STATE-OF-THE-ART veterinary centers in the immediate and surrounding areas.  The architectural design of the new hospital is impressive.  I suspect the new facility is a veterinarian's dream and a wonderful benefit to all of Dr. Liberto's loyal staff members and clients, and, of course, to our pets, who we love and who love us back.

LAKE FOREST ANIMAL HOSPITAL is a quick drive from my Germantown home; and if you live farther away, turn on your favorite CD and enjoy the ride.

And the LAKE FOREST SUPPORT STAFF OF TECHNICIANS AND OFFICE PERSONNEL IS A WONDERFUL GROUP OF CARING INDIVIDUALS!  They helped take excellent loving care of my sick little kitty while he was hospitalized.

LAKE FOREST ANIMAL HOSPITAL is my choice for my pets' care simply because I LOVE MY PETS!  And LAKE FOREST ANIMAL HOSPITAL is an AAHA ACCREDITED hospital.

Initially, Randy's condition was just related to his front left leg/shoulder, which he wasn't using. We thought that his condition might just be joint related because I have 5 active pets; so, he was given a pain medication and laser treatment for inflammation. His left front leg quickly started healing, but then his left rear leg became affected and his temperature started to increase.







So, on Saturday, 5/3/2014, WHEN THE CLINIC WAS ABOUT TO CLOSE FOR THE DAY, I was told to bring in Randy. He was hospitalized, hooked him up to IV fluids, and labwork was done. Randy wasn't eating on his own; I was hand-feeding him. Technicians continued to hand-feed him, when necessary, while he was hospitalized.







After Randy was settled in, I went back to the housing area before I left; he remained hospitalized until Monday night, 5/5/2014. Before I left to bring him home (along with his antibiotics), I took Randy's temperature using his thermometer that I brought with me, so I could make sure that I was correctly using the thermometer.







Thanks to Lake Forest Animal Hospital, Randy has completely recovered!

Everything went very well! I have no complaints whatsoever!





I especially liked the fact that Devon's blood and urine samples were drawn while I WAS PRESENT and that the process was explained to me. I was so used to vets and technicians rushing my pets to the back of the hospital, faster than the speed of light, that I was shocked when the labs were drawn in my presence.





I received a phone call in a timely manner to review the lab results. During that conversation, future plans for Devon's care were discussed; however, he is currently doing very well for a 14-yr-old cat. After his radioactive I-131 hyperthyroidism treatment on 12/10/12, Devon's T-4 (today) still remains in the good range after over a year since his I-131 treatment: it's 1.5.





Lake Forest Animal Hospital will be doing EXTENSIVE renovations to their facility in 2014. I'm guessing that Lake Forest will be one of the most up-to-date hospitals in the area. Their new facility will be more than twice it's current size at the current location, according to information given to me by Lake Forest. And I like the fact that Lake Forest Animal Hospital is a VERY QUICK RIDE from Germantown. I have several pets; so, selecting the right veterinary hospital is an important decision for me.

Vet completely misdiagnosed my cat’s condition. Three weeks later another vet “hit the nail on the head”; CANCER. Additionally, I performed a simple GOOGLE search with my cat’s symptoms and suspected CANCER. This is why we took my cat to another vet for a second opinion. How could a vet misdiagnose a cat with advanced CANCER?

I go out of town frequently and I am thankful that I found the Lakeforest Animal Hospital to board my diabetic cat. I have been using them since December 2008. The prices are reasonable and my cat likes it. The boarding facilites are very plain, but I like the fact that the cats are kept in a separate room away from the dogs. My cat needs insulin twice a day so I am happy that she is in a safe place with competent staff to give shots. All of the animals get attention and cuddling, but for a reasonable fee you can get additional cuddling and brushing. I always get the extra cuddling and brushing for my cate so that she will associate it with a good boarding experence

Dr. Liberto and his associates are gentle with my dog and put her at her ease. Dr. Liberto has superb diagnostic ability. He listens carefully to the problem, asks questions, examines my dog carefully and gently, and explains his findings. He takes the time to answer questions. When I telephone with a question or concern he returns the call, is patient and gives complete answers. He explains what procedures will cost and advises against procedures if he feels they are not necessary. The cost depends on the service. Dr. Liberto has treated my dog for the last 6 1/2 years. The date I entered is the last date he saw her. My dog is now over 15 years old. I credit her longevity to his good care.

The vet and staff were very friendly and they took good care of my kitten. The price was good, comparable to other vets in the area. I will be going back there for all the follow up treatments and for spaying.

THIS IS AN CARING AND LOVING COMPANY. I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE TO USE THEM, THEY ARE THE BEST. THEY CALL AND VERIFY APPOINTMENTS. THE PRICE IS REASONABLE AND THE ANIMALS LOVE THEM.
