Crystal Lake Animal Hospital

Wonderful vet! My Doberman got nurtured here two weeks ago. Both the vet and his staff were so kind and lovely. We spoke to the vet about a separate issue and he did not try to sell us tests or medications like other vets in the area do. We felt welcomed and will be returning!

The staff here are amazing. Very friendly from the front the the back. The vets and techs are very knowledgeable and you can tell they all truly care about the animals that they are seeing.

Where do I begin…. First I need to give a major shout out to the girl who works at the front desk. I was referred to this vet by some people on Facebook, but her compassion and professionalism on the phone was what made all the difference for me. They were able to take me in on a fully booked Saturday and as I watched patient after patient go in, I saw with my own eyes how much everyone who works here cares for your pets like their own. From the vet techs (excuse me if I don’t know the correct terminology), to the nurses to the doctor.. Just absolutely compassionate and caring souls. Such a happy and caring environment all around. It even smells good in there which left me in shock because usually vets smell like.. well vets… lol. I left a very feral community cat there on a Saturday and called in Monday morning for an update on how he did over the weekend before the surgery was to take place. They told me they gave him his own exam room and dimmed the lights to make sure he felt safe away from other cats (are you kidding me, I love them) but that he was doing good and ate a lot. Afterwards, the doctor sat down with my neighbor who went to go pick him up, someone they had never met, and explained the entire X-ray to her. When I say they went above and beyond, I’m not exaggerating. The people who recommended them to me on Facebook had nothing but positive things to say and now I have nothing but positive things to say. Thank you so much for your hard work Dr. Melgey. I truly appreciate you. I appreciate your compassion during my visit and the love you have for animals. Thank you to everyone who works there, from the bottom of my heart.

I've found the absolute gem of animal clinics! Seriously, they treat every furry friend like they're family. The office crew, especially the manager (Alyssa), are top-notch—always on the ball and making sure everything runs smooth as silk. They're not just affordable and squeaky clean, but they handle tough news with grace and always leave you feeling uplifted. Yeah, I drive a bit to get there, but it's worth every mile to know my pets are getting superstar treatment. I rave about this place to EVERYONE—it's where miracles happen for pets in need! Dr. Melgey is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was my first time with my baby, and we had a good experience and good care from the personal doctor.
