GoodVets Lakeview

I had a great experience here recently when I brought my pup in for a broken dew claw. He was in a lot of pain and Good Vets got him during when our regular vet was unavailable-on a Saturday afternoon. The vet and staff we worked with showed a great deal of empathy towards my dog and were very gently in working with him and cutting down not just the broken dew claw, but both dew claws. They are compassionate, caring, and I was impressed with the cleanliness of the office. The only recommendation I have is that I would have appreciated a head’s up in advance that two cats live freely in the clinic. My dog can be reactive towards cats and I can work with him through it if I have advance notice. Expert tip-they have excellent treat options on hand. I definitely recommend this Good Vets loc

READ: As a pet owner of cats and dogs, numerous vets, etc. THIS ONE IS TOP TIER! Very hospitable from the beginning. Immediately recognized that I was here and for my kitten Toby. Dr Hurt was terrific along with the all the other staff! Very communicative, transparent about pricing before anything is finished, and answered my questions very well. Had a cat specific room with bird chirping playing, offering treats, and being patient with him. THANK YOU GoodVets for your service. Recommend to any new time owner or even a current pet owner looking for a new vet.

Dr. Trefil is amazing! I transferred my cat here from the Uptown office (just because it’s even closer :]) and have had such a good experience. The staff are all friendly and accommodating while being transparent about pricing and different options. My cat has done amazing under their care and I’m grateful to have them in Lakeview!

Dr. Trefil and her team were fabulous. I recently adopted a 7 year old cat from an elderly woman, who (surprise) did not take care of the cats dental needs! During our first appointment it was discovered that a few extractions would be needed. The procedure was done a few weeks later and I was a bit nervous for it (with this being my first cat as an adult). Dr. Trefil and the team were extremely communicative during the whole process (Hillary at the front desk was also great). I also appreciated the exam room that was custom for cats (scratchers, bird noises, cat portrait on the wall). It's a few days later and my cat is healing well! If you're looking for a local vet I would highly recommend.

If you're looking for someone to trust with your furry friends' care, look no further. Dr. Trefil is hands down the BEST vet I have seen in 20 years of having pets. She is so good that we followed her to this location despite it being further from our home. She is very thorough, competent, not to mention an excellent surgeon. She has provided life saving treatment and advice numerous times. Not only that, you can tell she and her team truly care for your critters and treat them like they would their own. Thank you, Dr. Trefil and GoodVets Lakeview team! Additionally, many places are owned by big conglomerates. To my knowledge, this location is owned or partially owned directly by veterinarians. Please support your local vets - they know what's best for your pet and aren't influenced by ou
