Veterinarians in Lake City, FL

“Fast, easy and compassionate care on a weekend at the absolute last minute. Dr. Schaeffer was able to diagnose and treat our kitten when we weren't sure she would make it through the night. Incredible care!”

“This animal hospital is efficient and friendly. I had an unscheduled, emergency with my cat, and I was dreading spending hours in the waiting room, waiting for a space between those that had appointments. I was out in 90 minutes. This is amazing. Everyone is friendly and understanding which is amazing these days.”

“I really want to take a moment to brag about Compassion Veterinary Hospital (formerly Addison Animal Hospital).
My sweet baby, Cinder had a growth pop up on her eye a few months ago. As a precaution, I wanted to get it look at as she has a history of cancer. The first place I went to was Suwannee Oaks, Cinders former vet. I was quoted about $780 to have the spot removed. For me personally, that’s a steep amount to just come up with on the spot, so I decided to look around. I called Compassion and scheduled an office visit.
Talk about a great first impression. I’m a busy gal with a full-time job and responsibilities. Taking off work for a vet visit isn’t easy for me. Compassion not only saw Cinder as a patient, but kept her for the day so I didn’t have to take off work, at no extra charge! But what really sold me is when I came to pick her up. The woman at the front desk gushed over my baby and even showed me a cute video she took of Cinder, burying herself under a blanket they gave her. When I asked about the surgery, they told me they could do it and for a far more reasonable price. I immediately scheduled the surgery.
When I returned to Compassions for Cinders surgery, the first thing I noticed is how thorough everyone is. The front desk greeted me and confirmed my phone number so they could text me with updates on Cinders surgery (which I LOVED). The vet tech who brought Cinder back asked me for a full history and if she had any previous illnesses. I told her I suspected she may have a UTI due to recent symptoms I noticed. From there, I left my baby with them and waited to hear back.
It wasn’t long after drop off that I received a text from them letting me know that everything went well. I was told to come back around 4pm to pick her up. Now here comes the good part. It was only $480. For $480, they not only removed her growth, but that included pain meds, a cone, a nail trim, and antibiotics for the UTI that I had suspected. I saved $300 and anything I thought needed to be cared for my baby was addressed. I felt comfortable leaving her with them and relieved with the updates they sent me.
Overall, I will be transferring my dogs medical records to Compassion and recommend them to anyone who needs a vet. Thank you Compassion Veterinary Hospital Team!”

“Caring Hands is fantastic. Dr. Jessie always goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about our pets. The staff is friendly, thorough, and easy to work with. We’re grateful to have them in Lake City and wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

“They came highly recommended and we are not disappointed. The facility is clean and inviting. The entire staff is amazing; they are attentive and fully answer all of our questions. The service fees and medication costs are appropriate for the times. They always make time for us when an emergent need is raised. Our dog is apprehensive around strangers but she loves going for appointments there. She's the first one in our when we tell her we're going and the first out of our car and to their front door when we get there.”
