I had been going to a different vet for years, I just started going to Island Lake Veterinary Clinic and I love it there! They always make time for you and squeeze you in for appointments even if you call same day. They remember your name and your pets name. Super personable. I have had the pleasure of meeting both Dr. Donovan and Dr. Max. They are both excellent doctors. Dr. Donovan and Dr. Max were both so gentle and caring with my puppies. One of my puppies also got surgery there and Dr. Max is an awesome surgeon. I wouldn't recommend you to go anywhere else! The vet techs and receptionists are awesome too.

I was referred to ILVC a few years ago by a friend. I brought my elderly cat in a few times for different issues, and saw Dr. Donovan. He was so gentle with her, and took so much time checking her out. I felt at ease, and so did she. Last month, on a Friday afternoon, Mandy (my 18 year old cat), starting having trouble walking. I called up and was able to get an appointment within 1/2 hour. Although the result of this visit was that we had to end up putting her down due to a large tumor, I was completely happy with the way ILVC treated her, and my entire family. We never once felt rushed or forced into a decision. My husband & children were able to come and we spent as much time with her as we needed. The doctor and all the staff were so helpful & sympathetic, and also great with explaining to my children what was happening. I would recommend them to anyone. Their compassion & love of animals really shines through.

I enjoyed my visit to the Island Lake Veterinary Clinic. Even more so than my young cockatiel who needed his nails clipped. The staff was very attentive and friendly, and the veterinarian was kind and caring, giving me tips on how to feed my bird better. We spent less than 15 minutes at the clinic, and then went into the wooden area right outside to enjoy the nature. Our overall experience was very pleasant. I highly recommend this place!

My dog has been a patient at this clinic since he was six months old, and I wouldn't trust his care to anyone else other than Dr. Max. My dog was rescued from a puppy mill,and was so traumatized, that he doesn't trust too many people, especially males. Dr. Max is so gentle, that my dog will let Dr. Max near him, and even touch him, which if you knew my dog, this is a miracle. The staff there goes out of their way to accommodate us, so I can bring my dog in for his checkups without being near other animals, because it is too stressful for my dog. I definitely would recommend Island Lake Veterinary Clinic for the best medical care for pets.They are the best!

We have been going to Island Lake Veterinary Clinic for many years and have always gotten the best care for our dogs. They are always quick to fit you in even though they may be busy because they seem to value their customers and their pets. They have always been very caring and genuinely care about your animal. The vet techs are also really very kind and knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a vet for their pet.
