Dr.Smith was very detailed with her examination. Great bedside manners. Vet tech Zari was extremely helpful. Great customer service. Perfect place to take your pet baby. Glad we finally found a good vet clinic.

corporate needs to look into this location! they are understaffed and overworked, which forces the staff to provide subpar care. You can genuinely feel the stress coming from the entire staff here. Corporate, you need to stop allowing online appointment booking when the location's staff cannot support the demand! This review in no way reflects the staff here as they were all clearly trying their best in an ungodly situation. It is so mind-blowingly clear that Corporate does not have the best interest in mind for the well-being of the staff or the patients being treated. It is obvious your corporation only cares about they money and getting as many customers in as possible, with no regard to the negative impact it puts on your staff and patients.

Had to repost because I hit post before I was done. Hands down TOP NOTCH care!! My son’s 2 year old cat started vomiting on Sunday and acting sluggish for a few days, after a trip to the ER overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, the ER vet recommended continued follow up care in the morning; as it was looking like Yoshi might need surgery for a possible obstruction. I followed up with my vet, Dr. Murnighan and he was able to connect me with Dr. Smith and her amazing team at the Lake Zurich Vetco. Dr. Smith was able to quickly assess Yoshi’s overnight records, do some follow up imaging and get him into the OR pretty quickly. She found the obstruction and got it out. He is resting comfortably at home now and I cannot express in words how grateful I am to Dr. Smith and her team, Patty, Evie, and Zari. Dr. Smith called me this morning to see how Yoshi did overnight. To have the ability to speak to the vet directly and be able to ask any follow up questions is amazing. Such a personal touch! We tragically lost Yoshi’s brother at only 5 months old so you can probably imagine how scared we were these last few days. I am indebted to Dr. Smith and her caring, supportive, highly knowledgeable and skilled team that ensured Yoshi was taken care of and that we are now able to spend more time with our beloved boy! Highly, highly recommend! Thank you just doesn't seem like enough to express our gratitude to you all!

Fantastic first visit with our Schnauzer for his annual checkup and vaccines! Tech Shane was very warm and accomodating and Dr. Jessica Smith gave lots of love to our dog during his visit. Super service, glad we checked them out.
