Knowledgeable and loving care  5 Star Rating - World class

Dr. David Diaz at VCA Lake Shore Animal Hospital has saved my dog's life twice. He is knowledgeable, loving, and accessible, He is conservative about tests and treatment and reviews options so that my dog gets good , cost-efficient care. VCA Lake Shore is clean, efficient and well organized. My dog gets better care from their caring competent staff than I get from my family doctor. I would never go anywhere else.

A friend to our little friends.  4 Star Rating - Very good

We've been taking our cats here for about 22 years and have never been disappointed. Even Halsted, our most fierce cat, finds the staff trustworthy. He's gone there for all seven years of his life.

PROS: They know a lot and are kind.
CONS: None

Expensive 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Really pricey. There are a lot of other great vets in this area who charge reasonable prices. No need to be gauged here. Also, anytime I left my dog for boarding, I never got all my stuff back. They always lost my dog's toys or food or both.

Pros: nice office staff, clean
Cons: parking, excessively expensive

Bad Value 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

They seem quick to treat, which makes you wonder if they're pushing serivces to run up your bill. They recommended pricey surgery for my dog's bladder stone (they charged $ 450 just to diagnose it). I opted out and went to another vet. They treated her with antibiotics and the stone went away. Never even needed the surgery.

They also like to push extras on you like toothpaste for your dog, leashes, etc. Staff is nice, but doctors are pushy. Watch your wallet.

Pros: parking, admin staff, hours
Cons: expensive, pushy doctors
