What recent reviews say

Most visitors describe staff and Dr. Forester as genuinely kind, patient, and focused on the pet's wellbeing rather than profit. Dental work, surgery, vaccines, and senior dog care earn consistent praise. Payment plans help families on limited budgets. Complaints centre on delayed test results and poor responsiveness during urgent pre-surgery prep or after euthanasia.

Recent shift: One long-standing reviewer revised an earlier negative rating upward after witnessing improved care and personal attention to their dog's digestive issues; suggests possible service improvements or staff changes.

Altos Veterinary Clinic

Altos earns consistent praise for a personal, attentive approach. Reviewers report Dr. White gets down to animals' level, remembers families over years, follows up after visits, and delivers thorough exams that solve problems other vets missed. Staff respond quickly to messages, offer proactive care reminders, and handle challenging animals with patience. Prices are called reasonable; the clinic feels small and local. Loyalty spans decades for many families, who drive long distances to stay.

Lancaster Veterinary Services

Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Lisa Lancaster for hands-on skill in acupuncture, chiropractic, and pain management, plus genuine care during follow-ups. Home visits are a major draw, especially for anxious pets. One older complaint about non-responsiveness stands out starkly against overwhelmingly positive experiences, mostly from 8-9 years ago.
