The entire team at Lake Crest Animal Clinic - both front and back of the house- is warm, knowledgeable, patient and caring. They go the extra mile to ensure our two Labs are well taken care of on every visit and they never flinch no matter how hyper they are. Read Less

We had a great visit, as always we were seen in a friendly timely manner and Bailey was treated so well! We love our Lake Crest Vet family and would suggest them to anyone as they do amazing work for our easy dog as well as our more complicated behaviors dog! Read Less

Our family recently adopted a small puppy and decided to use Lake Crest for services. We've found the care and services to be excellent, facility is always clean without odor and the staff friendly. Doctors very knowledgeble and helpful. We highly recommend to others!!! Read Less

Our cat was very sick Saturday morning and we didn't know where to go. We went to Lake Crest and they were super friendly. They explained everything that was going to happen. They explained our options. We will definitely use them from now on. I've had pets my whole life and been to many vet clinics. This one was the best experience I've ever had. I highly recommend them.

We board our small dog here at Lake Crest. The check in is quick & thorough. Lake Crest had called the vet who had our dog's shot records making a fast check in & also assuring our dog was healthy. Our dog was happy & well cared for after a 2 night stay. We will board her here again. Read Less

Dr. Choquette was so awesome! She made me feel secure in the care my dog was receiving and you could tell she really cares. I walked in to pick up my dog after surgery and she was packed up walking out the door but turned around to talk to me in person about my dogs care. Also, the procedure she performed cost $400+ less than what we were quoted at another veternarian in the Hoover area. We are so thankful f we found lake crest animal clinic and will be bringing our other dog too from now on! Read Less

Dr. Bullard and the staff at Lake Crest are the most caring, thoughtful, compassionate, and knowledgeable individuals we have ever encountered in a veterinary setting. They love our pets almost as much as we do (and we love them like crazy!), never failing to remember their names and personalities. They have treated us like family since day one. I couldn't recommend this clinic more, especially for those of us with exotics. Thank you, thank you, thank you <3 Read Less

Absolutely THE BEST. Best staff. Best doctors. They always take the upmost care for all the patients brought in. Everytime I come in, they have one of the animals in the front desk area. They always give them love and attention. I have 2 dogs, and they are always showered with love. My 2 are the worst about getting their nails clipped. I have taken them to many groomers and they won't do them. Yet, when I take them to Lake Crest they seem to get the job done just fine. I always ask how they did, and the staff looks at me in mild confusion, because from their view they do just fine!! They must have magicians back there. We always feel welcomed there. Always kept up to date about everything. The doctors are very thorough, and gentle. They are happy to help out in anyway they can. Everyone at Lake Crest clearly goes above and beyond. Thank you all so so so so much for everything y'all do!! - Brittney, Adam, Maggie, and Diego SmithRead Less

We Recently relocated to Birmingham. We had a Vet we loved and were concerned we wouldn't find that again. The team at Lake Crest is warm, patient, caring and knowledgeable. Most importantly, they genuinely care about our dogs.We are thrilled we found them. Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about this place. My pets have seen all the vets there and they are all amazing. Dr. Hodges has dealt with one of my more fearful dogs and he is so patient and caring. The lobby staff are also amazing. I love that they can care for exotic pets! I also love love love their hours. I am lucky that they live so close to such a wonderful animal clinic. Read Less

You guys are awesome! Very professional and friendly. Dr. West took great care of my guinea pigs and everyone I interacted with made me feel very welcome; the receptionists in particular were very pleasant. I'm happy to have found a great veterinarian that will see exotic animals, and if my guinea pigs ever have issues this will be the vet I bring them to. Update: I've been back here twice since I brought my guinea pigs in. The first time was with a very sick cat, who wasn't technically mine (she belonged to my boyfriend's family) but who I loved very much. Dr. Hodges was very straightforward but also very compassionate, and he told me what I didn't want to hear but knew was the truth: that she was too sick, any attempts at treatment would pointlessly prolong her suffering and euthanasia would be the kindest option. It's never easy to have an animal put to sleep, but they let me spend as much time as I needed with her without ever making me feel rushed. I stayed with her until she fell asleep, and Dr. Hodges brought her to the back to give her the final shot. It was as good of an experience as it's possible to have when you're losing a dearly loved pet, and all of the staff were really compassionate and sympathetic. The other time was when I brought a healthy cat in for a routine exam, microchip, and vaccinations. Very pleasant visit, the exam and shots were done quickly and relatively painlessly for the cat. Dr. Hodges answered any questions I had, gave my cat a clean bill of health and sent us on our way. I'm very happy with Lake Crest Animal Clinic, and they'll continue to be my preferred vet for all of my pets. Read Less

The staff and doctors at Lake Crest are very responsive, polite and compassionate. We just recently had to say goodbye to a loved family member. Dr Hodges as well as staff stayed late and were genuinely concerned about our pet and us. We also use their boarding facility and have been very pleased. Read Less

Lake Crest Animal Clinic has been my Vet for over 5 years. I always get the best quality care for my 2 Beagles - Ransom and Georgie and would never take them to another clinic. Dr. Hodges is their regular doctor, but have no problems having another vet treat them. Read Less

These nice people took in and cared for an abandoned pregnant heart worm positive stray dog. Without knowing if she would even make it through her pups birth, they still cared for her, nursed her back to best health possible, delivered caesarian puppies, found homes for all of them, then my family and I gave mama a home to live happily her final days. She was with us only 4 months but she passed in a happy love filled home like she deserved. She was a good girl. Great caring individuals at this clinic. Read Less

Words alone cannot express my gratitude for being recommended for this clinic. Dr. Bullard is amazing, thorough and extremely kind. My eldest fur baby, Maci, made her journey across the Rainbow Bridge this past Sunday and I cannot coherently say just how grateful I am for the kindness of their staff. I'm so touched by the heart shaped mold of her paw print with her name on it as well as the online obituary created in her memory. From the bottom of my heart thank you all so very much.Read Less

I just want to express my extreme appreciation for this entire practice and particularly Dr. Jeremy Hodges! Last week we brought in our 10 year old Great Dane, Ellie for the first time to this clinic. She was at the end of her life and in need of immediate care. We previously lived in Cahaba heights and had already established a relationship with a different vet. However, in our moment of desperate need, this practice was more than welcoming! We had tried to prepare ourselves for the loss of our sweet girl but the reality is you can never be prepared... As our family has been through such a loss before, we know how different veterinary offices handle this situation differently. While we have never had anyone be insincere or unkind to us, we have never experienced a practice so in tune to our pain. They seemed to feel our pain as their own even though we just met. Even though we were just aquatinted and were totally "new" they, (especially Dr. Hodges), made us feel at home and like family. Rest assured when the Nix family is ready to move on and adopt another pet we will without doubt use lakecrest animal clinic! I am not one to write reviews about anyplace but I cannot ignore the special experience we had with these people during a time of extreme loss for us. Thank you from the bottom of our heats!

We have taken 2 of our dogs here for 2 years now and recently started taking our kitten and baby bunny rabbits as well. Everyone here is friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this Vet Clinic to anyone. The bulling and rooms are kept clean and the animals treated very well. Some of the employees bring their own animals to hang out behind the front desk! The rates are reasonable and the service very good. Overall we have been very satisfied with our experiences.We also like reading the funny jokes each week on the outside entrance sign! Read Less

This is a great animal clinic. Very convenient and had nice and well trains staff. The Veterinarians are very good as well. It's not the best place for boarding though. I would recommend the place for your pets health needs but again, not for boarding . Read Less
