Dr Lori is our local Vet in Jupiter Farms. Great to have so close by. She and her staff keep our precious ones fit and healthy

Dr Minteer and her staff treat you and your pets like family. They take the time to explain everything and are very thorough. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Dr. Minteer caught some early tumors on a routine check up and saved our dog. We have been going to her for years.

I have used Lori for over 18 years now for all my pets. Used to be amazing service from her. Now the staff does not return calls promptly. I can not get a timely appointment for my sick or injured pet. Lori is a fantastic vet if only my animals could see her. During covid, I had a routine appointment. Showed up on time and waited in the parking lot per veterinary practices. I called to let them know I was there. I waited for 3 hours in the parking lot with a puppy. I overlooked that due to issues everyone experienced during that time. Businesses have returned to normal for the most part but this practice always has an excuse why they didn’t return a call. I needed a follow up appointment for my dog that had to go to the vet emergency emergency because I could not get an appointment with Lori for 3 days. I was not able to get a follow up appointment as needed. I was told I should have called on Monday (which was day day I had to take him elsewhere and didn’t even know yet that I needed an appointment). I was told that they were too busy taking care of emergency appointments. Funny that they tell me this when they could not find time to take care of my dogs emergency. I am sad that my dogs can not continue in her care but I can not rely on them to be there when my pets are sick or injured. Anyone can give them vaccinations, it is the sick care that makes a difference. Truly disappointed. Follow up: I advised I need me dogs records to move to another vet. They called me the next morning to tell me that I missed the appointment that I told them I could not wait for!!!! Need to figure out a better system for follow up. Update: after being a client for so long, Lori never contacted me to see what was wrong.

Lori has cared for my pets since I was a kid. Now, I have a kid of my own, and we don’t mind going to wait to see her. I trust her to make the right call when it comes to the health of my pets. I’d never take my animals anywhere else.

Lori Minteer, DVM is the best veterinarian I have ever encountered! She is knowledgeable, professional, kind and caring. My dog and I always feel comfortable with her. She accurately diagnosed a problem with my dog that another vet missed. Dr. MInteer provided phone calls, texts and advice for me that was very helpful. Her staff of Missy and Mindy were so professional and caring. It is impossible express my appreciation and gratitude to all of them.
