Preventive care

Had to carry one of my cats here for his thyroid treatment. They were very thorough in describing the entire process and telling us the aftercare protocol after I got my cat back home. All of the staff were pleasant and they were very good about calling and keeping me updated. A week or so after all was done I got a nice letter with them giving all the stats on my cat while they had him and outlining the follow-up visits I needed to schedule with my local vet. Overall the process was great and if you have a cat with thyroid problems have your vet refer them here.

The staff is so nice and helpful. Facility is clean. It is easy to find and get in and out. The doctor explains everything! No sugar coating the complete truth about treatment and expected outcomes. This is my cats second trip here. Hope we don't need to come back but, would definitely return if we needed to.

The regular vet we were seeing said there was no one anywhere in the area that did the radioactive iodine shot for cats, but I did my own research and found Lakecross. They took great care of my kitty during her radioiodine treatment. Dr. Hemstreet and everyone kept us updated and cared about all our concerns. Michele was super nice and answered tons of questions for us in the weeks leading up to our appointment. My kitty had never been away from home and didn't eat or use the litter box until the last day. After checkups at the regular vet she was seeing, she would be upset and restless for a while after we got home, but after staying here she was fine and content afterward and had no problems. It has been nine months now and my kitty's thyroid is normal and she has gained weight. I am so thankful to have found Lakecross and that they do this miracle treatment for cats!

Staff was amazing, they're extremely thorough and responsive. They keep in steady contact before, during, and after the procedure and someone is always available to talk to you or call you back.

Information given to myself and my fiance separately left me with a very stressful experience filled with worry over my baby. Thankfully the doctor cleared things up
