Lake Pine Animal Hospital
Apex, North Carolina
General Info
Through Apex location, Lake Pine Animal Hospital conceptualizes veterinary care as a dynamic relationship and offers clinical support and practical guidance across North Carolina. During the first part of appointments, we go over behavior and household routines and discuss any concerns that have arisen since the previous meeting. Veterinary professionals evaluate body condition, weight stability, oral health, gait patterns, skin sensitivity, and joint range of motion. Veterinarians will check the pet’s health and identify minor problems while customizing the care plan according to the animal’s age, breed, and living conditions. The scope of services extends to laboratory diagnostics and parasite control in addition to nutritional counseling, senior pet, and pain management programs. The onset of ailments such as arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, and chronic allergies requires a gradual step-by-step formulation of treatment plans. Before education owners need to be given relevant information about various care pathways and timelines results and costs. We help families with post-operative care, long-term medication needs, and care for multiple pets. The records are updated every time the patient visits the hospital. Clients receive detailed summaries of care and home instructions at discharge, which enhances the understanding and adherence to follow through. Lake Pine Animal Hospital team members are available to answer questions between appointments. Families in Apex appreciate the strides veterinary care makes to improve services, whether it’s focused on helping senior pets move around better or puppies starting their wellness check-ups. Thanks to the love and care that their parents provide, pets all over North Carolina can thrive at every stage of their lives. Some of the services offered include bloodwork, parasite prevention, hospice and palliative care, microchipping, puppy and kitten care, pain management, vaccinations, emergency care, cardiology and in-house pharmacy. This range of services means that pet owners in Apex, Cary, and nearby towns are able to obtain everything they need for their pets’ health at the facility. It remains a trusted name in the Apex area through its dedication to ensuring that pets lead healthy and comfortable lives throughout all stages of their lives.

Recently got a new puppy and needed to establish a vet and decided to try lake pine animal hospital because it was near me. So glad I did. The staff is kind, compassionate and genuine! All of the doctors and vet techs take their time talking to you, explaining everything, and answering any questions. They also make suggestions but are not trying to be sales people and force you into anything. Overall my first 2 visits have been wonderful! Murph is in good hands here!

I'm a long time customer of this vet and I can't say enough good things. It is small, intimate, where everyone knows your name and your animals name. They follow up to check in every time. One of their techs was nice enough to drop emergency meds off to my house!!! (Not close either). They have helped me through 2 dog deaths, one of which got the best treatment from them for his condition and outlived his diagnosis by one year! They were quick to refer me to larger equipment (Great Danes) when needed and did a wonderful job connected the dots with other vets on records from those visits. Dr. Katz and her staff there are knowledgable, kind, and caring. They treat your animals like they would their own and give them the best love when they come in. I used this vet for years when I lived close by and then moved very far away and no distance can make me change my vet. I still make the drive when I need to because they are the best!

We have taken our two Labradoodles to Lake Pine Animal Hospital for many years. Dr Katz and her staff have show our dogs, as well as our family, excellent care and compassion. We lost one of our dogs a few years back suddenly. We took her to Lake Pine extremely critical. They stopped what they were doing and stayed with us and our elderly dog while she past. They could not have been more supportive and compassionate to our beloved dog and our family. Dr. Katz gives our furry family the very best care while keeping cost low, for that we are grateful! When my dogs walk in the door everyone seems so happy to see them! Whenever our pets have a medical issue, no matter how big or small, we always get a few phone calls from our friends at Lake Pine checking in on the pups. We would not take our dogs anywhere else!!

Today is Pete's birthday and what a great time to write a review about one of his favorite people. Pete loves going to see Dr. Katz and her team. I have never had a dog actually enjoy vet visits! Dr. Katz is wonderful. She listens to concerns and answer questions thoroughly. Equally important, she takes the time with Pete, giving him love and helping him feel comfortable. I never feel like we are being rushed out the door. After each visit, we get a follow up call checking to see how he is doing. It is nice to experience such care and customer service in a day and age when most things feel rushed and impersonal.

Dr. Katz and all of the staff at Lake Pine Animal Hospital has been wonderful with our pets. We recently had to put down our elderly cat who had cancer. They made a housecall so he could be euthanized at home, surrounded by the people who love him, not scared in a vet's office. It was so comforting to know that we were able to make the end of his life as comfortable as possible for him. A few days later, we got a condolence card in the mail, signed by the entire office staff, which brought both my 10 year-old daughter and I to tears. It was such a kind, lovely gesture, and certainly not something I would have ever expected. We also have a dog, who they've been wonderful with. We just recently adopted 2 little kittens, and I am delighted and reassured to know that we already have such a wonderful vet, who I know will provide excellent care for our new little additions.

This is a good animal hospital--not one of the big corporate hospitals which is out of the reach of people like me on a fixed senior income and there is a 10% discount here which, added to the reasonable pricing, makes it a good fix. Most of all, Dr. Katz knows her stuff (I've had dogs for forty years) and the staff is very accommodating and congenial. I have not had a problem with a same day appointment.

My experience with LPAH has been excellent. I moved here four years ago. Within days my cat Barnaby was very ill. I walked into the office and they helped me right away. Barnaby and I had quite an experience: a month of fluids everyday, cat scan, surgery, blood tests. Everyone was wonderful and they took great care of me too! They saved Barnaby! Barnaby now goes in three times a week for fluids. He is really doing well. We have added another cat , Bella, to our family. She is a rescue through PAWS.
Obviously I would recommend LPAH to everyone. If you want a practice where they love your animal where they give extraordinary care then you should be going to LPAH!

I can not say enough positive things about Dr. Katz & her staff! They saved my cat's life! I adopted my kitten in August 2015. I had him home for about a month, until one night I noticed a change in his behavior (hiding, not eating, not drinking, not using the litterbox). I was new to having a cat, so I wasn't sure what was going on but wasn't getting a good feeling about my snuggly, playful kitten refusing to come out from under my bed! By the morning, he was worse so I decide to bring him in to get checked out. Dr. Katz was very thorough in her exam, even smearing a blood sample and examining it herself, which is how she diagnosed a blood parasite and referred him for a blood transfusion due to critical anemia. I rushed him to an emergency vet; they weren't able to identify the blood parasite but after speaking again with Dr. Katz, I decided to pursue her recommended course of treatment (blood transfusion, a month of frequent antibiotics) instead of following the other vet's recommendation to put him under (at only 15 weeks of age). Within that 15 weeks my kitten made a 100% recovery and is now a happy, healthy 1 year old adult cat. During his recovery Dr. Katz and her staff routinely called to check in on him and were available to answer any questions I had. In a world of "fast-paced" medical care for both pets and humans it is so nice to know I have a vet that cares and that I can trust to treat my animal just like her own!

Dr. Katz literally saved my dogs life!
I have a 10 year old Dachshund who has always been a little overweight, it is just the way she is built, not a dietary issue. Dachshunds can often develop back problems due to their length so this has always been a concern for me.
My dog started exhibiting signs of back pain one day a few months ago. I watched her condition worsen over a couple of days and I finally took her to the emergency vet as everything came to a head on a weekend. The emergency vet did X Rays and gave a prescription for pain pills and told me there may not be much else that can be done as her back was starting to deteriorate.
While my dog was on the pain pills she was lethargic and had to be carried anytime she moved. When the pain pills wore off she was in obvious pain. Once the cycle of pain pills ended my little doggie had not gotten any better so I took her into see Dr. Katz and have her put down. I was destroyed I had had this doggie since returning home from Iraq 10 years ago. She was my constant companion. It took a lot of mental preparation to make the trip to Dr. Katzs office, but I made myself do it.
Dr. Katz examined my doggie and also looked at the records from the emergency vet. She noted that a particular medicine had not been prescribed by the emergency vet and told me that she was fairly confident that it would help if I wanted to try. Naturally, I was willing to try ANYTHING that would potentially help.
I started my doggie on the meds and within 24 hours there was a noticeable difference. My baby was getting back to normal. By the end of the med cycle, it was like nothing had ever happened. This was a few months ago and my dog is back to her happy, playful, spoiled self:-)
Dr. Katz literally saved my dogs life. If you are looking for an knowledgeable, compassionate care-giver for your animals definitely visit Lake Pine Animal Hospital.

I recently started using Lake Pine for my foster cats. Dr. Katz, and her enthusiastic staff, have been so accommodating and welcoming to our rescue by helping give back to our local community by way of helping us help our foster animals in need of medical care (and there is such a need with homeless/abandoned animals). I've never had any problems getting my kitties in same day when needed. I love the family-like atmosphere and small, close-knit staff, that work so well together. You are not just another person walking through the door, but treated more like an extension of their family. Giz, Michael, Colleen, Erin, Jonie...(and a few others I'm still getting to know) are welcoming faces that greet me, (well, my kitties) with a smile. Dr. Katz takes the time to answer your questions and explain anything that may be going on with your pet. I love her common-sense approach to veterinarian medicine. You don't walk out of her practice feeling like you've been "nickeled and dimed." You get honest, quality, preventative medical care for your furry friends. They don't try to sell you on diagnostics that aren't medically necessary. As a result, I've started switching my own personal pets' care to Lake Pine. I will happily recommend them to any new/existing pet owner, and in rescue, have many opportunities to do so working with the public. I'm absolutely thrilled that Dr. Katz and her staff are one of our rescue veterinarian partners and now, my personal vet for my multitude of fur babies. If you're new to the area and looking for a vet to establish your four-legged friend with, give this team of veterinarian professionals an opportunity to love and care for your fur babies.

I was fostering a kitten that ended up with a fatal disease (FIP). Dr. Katz and her staff were so nice, caring and understanding. They worked closely with me and explained the unfortunate prognosis. We decided to wait a few days to try and confirm the diagnosis, but the kitten went down hill very quickly. Dr. Katz and her assistant/nurse stayed with me after they sedated my kitty and after putting him down. He was a very sick little boy and I was very upset, but Dr. Katz and her staff were great. I would highly recommend Dr. Katz and Lake Pine. Her office was also very clean and organized. Great place - great staff!

My husband and I just got our first puppy, and we cannot say enough great things about Lake Pine Animal Hospital. Dr. Katz is compassionate, caring, and so knowledgeable. Our English Shepherd puppy is a stubborn little dog, and Dr. Katz was able to give us great advice on how to train him and reward him. Every time we go in, she listens to all of our questions and answers them thoroughly- even if it's something silly like the merits of one dog food over another! When our puppy gets shots, they are always so great about giving him treats so that he doesn't even know that he's getting the shots. We have felt like our puppy has gotten the best care possible from day one. So happy to have found Dr. Katz and the amazing staff at Lake Pine Animal Hospital, and we highly recommend!!

If you're looking for a new vet, this place is first rate. It's spotlessly clean, the staff are polite, knowledgable and helpful, and I've always been able to get my pet seen right away. Dr.Katz (how could you not love a vet with that name?!) is great with any of the problems of either my cats or dogs that I have brought in. She spent hours suturing back together my kitty's ear after she was attacked, and now you can hardly tell anything happened to her. My other cat got bitten by a snake and she got him through it without any lasting effects. She is great with our dogs as well, and has picked up on several things that could have caused problems if they weren't recognized and treated. I've heard great things about other vet, Dr. O'Brien too. Their prices are reasonable too.

You can trust that Lake Pine will never nickle and dime you like some other more commercial vets do, and they truly care about the well-being of your pet.

The staff at Lake Pine Animal Hospital is excellent. Dr. Jody Katz has been phenomenal the few times I have brought my dog in. My dog most recently had teeth cleaning under anesthesia and she personally spoke to me before the procedure as well as later that day when I picked her up to review how things went, any findings, and after care. I also received a phone call from the office staff checking on my dog the next day as well as at the completion of her antibiotics to make sure things were going well. Again, I was very impressed with the care my dog received and the friendliness of the staff.

I've taken our puppy to Lake Pine for her routine vaccinations, and so far I've been very impressed with how accomodating and caring the staff is. It's a very small place with two examination rooms, so we've never had to wait more than a few minutes for the doctor. They're very patient with our new parent questions, and are thorough in their check-ups. And of course, they love dogs and make us feel like ours is the cutest they've ever seen. My only complaint was they didn't call us when our puppy was due for her next round of shots. I feel like it's common courtesy to send a reminder postcard for something like that. But we told them at our last visit we'd appreciate a call, and they made a note of that. We'll see if they follow up. Like any other vet, they're going to try to sell you all kinds of medications for your dog. At one point, they got a little defensive when we said we wanted to shop around for a flea medicine elsewhere. But otherwise, they're a great, caring staff, and I'd recommend them to anyone with paws.

General Info
Through Apex location, Lake Pine Animal Hospital conceptualizes veterinary care as a dynamic relationship and offers clinical support and practical guidance across North Carolina. During the first part of appointments, we go over behavior and household routines and discuss any concerns that have arisen since the previous meeting. Veterinary professionals evaluate body condition, weight stability, oral health, gait patterns, skin sensitivity, and joint range of motion. Veterinarians will check the pet’s health and identify minor problems while customizing the care plan according to the animal’s age, breed, and living conditions. The scope of services extends to laboratory diagnostics and parasite control in addition to nutritional counseling, senior pet, and pain management programs. The onset of ailments such as arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, and chronic allergies requires a gradual step-by-step formulation of treatment plans. Before education owners need to be given relevant information about various care pathways and timelines results and costs. We help families with post-operative care, long-term medication needs, and care for multiple pets. The records are updated every time the patient visits the hospital. Clients receive detailed summaries of care and home instructions at discharge, which enhances the understanding and adherence to follow through.

Recently got a new puppy and needed to establish a vet and decided to try lake pine animal hospital because it was near me. So glad I did. The staff is kind, compassionate and genuine! All of the doctors and vet techs take their time talking to you, explaining everything, and answering any questions. They also make suggestions but are not trying to be sales people and force you into anything. Overall my first 2 visits have been wonderful! Murph is in good hands here!

I'm a long time customer of this vet and I can't say enough good things. It is small, intimate, where everyone knows your name and your animals name. They follow up to check in every time. One of their techs was nice enough to drop emergency meds off to my house!!! (Not close either). They have helped me through 2 dog deaths, one of which got the best treatment from them for his condition and outlived his diagnosis by one year! They were quick to refer me to larger equipment (Great Danes) when needed and did a wonderful job connected the dots with other vets on records from those visits. Dr. Katz and her staff there are knowledgable, kind, and caring. They treat your animals like they would their own and give them the best love when they come in. I used this vet for years when I lived close by and then moved very far away and no distance can make me change my vet. I still make the drive when I need to because they are the best!

We have taken our two Labradoodles to Lake Pine Animal Hospital for many years. Dr Katz and her staff have show our dogs, as well as our family, excellent care and compassion. We lost one of our dogs a few years back suddenly. We took her to Lake Pine extremely critical. They stopped what they were doing and stayed with us and our elderly dog while she past. They could not have been more supportive and compassionate to our beloved dog and our family. Dr. Katz gives our furry family the very best care while keeping cost low, for that we are grateful! When my dogs walk in the door everyone seems so happy to see them! Whenever our pets have a medical issue, no matter how big or small, we always get a few phone calls from our friends at Lake Pine checking in on the pups. We would not take our dogs anywhere else!!

Our cats were acting very vicious towards each other all of a sudden after living together peacefully for 3 years. We called in the next day and they were able to get both cats in at convenient times for us. They gave us advice that has helped the cats be civil again. Highly recommend Lake Pine Animal Hospital for your vet needs.

Today is Pete's birthday and what a great time to write a review about one of his favorite people. Pete loves going to see Dr. Katz and her team. I have never had a dog actually enjoy vet visits! Dr. Katz is wonderful. She listens to concerns and answer questions thoroughly. Equally important, she takes the time with Pete, giving him love and helping him feel comfortable. I never feel like we are being rushed out the door. After each visit, we get a follow up call checking to see how he is doing. It is nice to experience such care and customer service in a day and age when most things feel rushed and impersonal.

Dr. Katz and all of the staff at Lake Pine Animal Hospital has been wonderful with our pets. We recently had to put down our elderly cat who had cancer. They made a housecall so he could be euthanized at home, surrounded by the people who love him, not scared in a vet's office. It was so comforting to know that we were able to make the end of his life as comfortable as possible for him. A few days later, we got a condolence card in the mail, signed by the entire office staff, which brought both my 10 year-old daughter and I to tears. It was such a kind, lovely gesture, and certainly not something I would have ever expected. We also have a dog, who they've been wonderful with. We just recently adopted 2 little kittens, and I am delighted and reassured to know that we already have such a wonderful vet, who I know will provide excellent care for our new little additions.

This is a good animal hospital--not one of the big corporate hospitals which is out of the reach of people like me on a fixed senior income and there is a 10% discount here which, added to the reasonable pricing, makes it a good fix. Most of all, Dr. Katz knows her stuff (I've had dogs for forty years) and the staff is very accommodating and congenial. I have not had a problem with a same day appointment.

My experience with LPAH has been excellent. I moved here four years ago. Within days my cat Barnaby was very ill. I walked into the office and they helped me right away. Barnaby and I had quite an experience: a month of fluids everyday, cat scan, surgery, blood tests. Everyone was wonderful and they took great care of me too! They saved Barnaby! Barnaby now goes in three times a week for fluids. He is really doing well. We have added another cat , Bella, to our family. She is a rescue through PAWS.
Obviously I would recommend LPAH to everyone. If you want a practice where they love your animal where they give extraordinary care then you should be going to LPAH!

I can not say enough positive things about Dr. Katz & her staff! They saved my cat's life! I adopted my kitten in August 2015. I had him home for about a month, until one night I noticed a change in his behavior (hiding, not eating, not drinking, not using the litterbox). I was new to having a cat, so I wasn't sure what was going on but wasn't getting a good feeling about my snuggly, playful kitten refusing to come out from under my bed! By the morning, he was worse so I decide to bring him in to get checked out. Dr. Katz was very thorough in her exam, even smearing a blood sample and examining it herself, which is how she diagnosed a blood parasite and referred him for a blood transfusion due to critical anemia. I rushed him to an emergency vet; they weren't able to identify the blood parasite but after speaking again with Dr. Katz, I decided to pursue her recommended course of treatment (blood transfusion, a month of frequent antibiotics) instead of following the other vet's recommendation to put him under (at only 15 weeks of age). Within that 15 weeks my kitten made a 100% recovery and is now a happy, healthy 1 year old adult cat. During his recovery Dr. Katz and her staff routinely called to check in on him and were available to answer any questions I had. In a world of "fast-paced" medical care for both pets and humans it is so nice to know I have a vet that cares and that I can trust to treat my animal just like her own!

We LOVE Lake Pine Animal Hospital!! Dr. Katz and her staff treat both myself and my furbaby as family. They are always very caring and attentive to our needs. Dr. Katz has helped to figure out the best food for my dog, who has allergies and was overweight. So happy to have found such a warm place to take my dog to keep him healthy and when he isn't feeling well. If you are looking for a vet, give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Dr. Katz literally saved my dogs life!
I have a 10 year old Dachshund who has always been a little overweight, it is just the way she is built, not a dietary issue. Dachshunds can often develop back problems due to their length so this has always been a concern for me.
My dog started exhibiting signs of back pain one day a few months ago. I watched her condition worsen over a couple of days and I finally took her to the emergency vet as everything came to a head on a weekend. The emergency vet did X Rays and gave a prescription for pain pills and told me there may not be much else that can be done as her back was starting to deteriorate.
While my dog was on the pain pills she was lethargic and had to be carried anytime she moved. When the pain pills wore off she was in obvious pain. Once the cycle of pain pills ended my little doggie had not gotten any better so I took her into see Dr. Katz and have her put down. I was destroyed I had had this doggie since returning home from Iraq 10 years ago. She was my constant companion. It took a lot of mental preparation to make the trip to Dr. Katzs office, but I made myself do it.
Dr. Katz examined my doggie and also looked at the records from the emergency vet. She noted that a particular medicine had not been prescribed by the emergency vet and told me that she was fairly confident that it would help if I wanted to try. Naturally, I was willing to try ANYTHING that would potentially help.
I started my doggie on the meds and within 24 hours there was a noticeable difference. My baby was getting back to normal. By the end of the med cycle, it was like nothing had ever happened. This was a few months ago and my dog is back to her happy, playful, spoiled self:-)
Dr. Katz literally saved my dogs life. If you are looking for an knowledgeable, compassionate care-giver for your animals definitely visit Lake Pine Animal Hospital.

I recently started using Lake Pine for my foster cats. Dr. Katz, and her enthusiastic staff, have been so accommodating and welcoming to our rescue by helping give back to our local community by way of helping us help our foster animals in need of medical care (and there is such a need with homeless/abandoned animals). I've never had any problems getting my kitties in same day when needed. I love the family-like atmosphere and small, close-knit staff, that work so well together. You are not just another person walking through the door, but treated more like an extension of their family. Giz, Michael, Colleen, Erin, Jonie...(and a few others I'm still getting to know) are welcoming faces that greet me, (well, my kitties) with a smile. Dr. Katz takes the time to answer your questions and explain anything that may be going on with your pet. I love her common-sense approach to veterinarian medicine. You don't walk out of her practice feeling like you've been "nickeled and dimed." You get honest, quality, preventative medical care for your furry friends. They don't try to sell you on diagnostics that aren't medically necessary. As a result, I've started switching my own personal pets' care to Lake Pine. I will happily recommend them to any new/existing pet owner, and in rescue, have many opportunities to do so working with the public. I'm absolutely thrilled that Dr. Katz and her staff are one of our rescue veterinarian partners and now, my personal vet for my multitude of fur babies. If you're new to the area and looking for a vet to establish your four-legged friend with, give this team of veterinarian professionals an opportunity to love and care for your fur babies.

I was fostering a kitten that ended up with a fatal disease (FIP). Dr. Katz and her staff were so nice, caring and understanding. They worked closely with me and explained the unfortunate prognosis. We decided to wait a few days to try and confirm the diagnosis, but the kitten went down hill very quickly. Dr. Katz and her assistant/nurse stayed with me after they sedated my kitty and after putting him down. He was a very sick little boy and I was very upset, but Dr. Katz and her staff were great. I would highly recommend Dr. Katz and Lake Pine. Her office was also very clean and organized. Great place - great staff!

My husband and I just got our first puppy, and we cannot say enough great things about Lake Pine Animal Hospital. Dr. Katz is compassionate, caring, and so knowledgeable. Our English Shepherd puppy is a stubborn little dog, and Dr. Katz was able to give us great advice on how to train him and reward him. Every time we go in, she listens to all of our questions and answers them thoroughly- even if it's something silly like the merits of one dog food over another! When our puppy gets shots, they are always so great about giving him treats so that he doesn't even know that he's getting the shots. We have felt like our puppy has gotten the best care possible from day one. So happy to have found Dr. Katz and the amazing staff at Lake Pine Animal Hospital, and we highly recommend!!

Very small place right next to Kroger. Says Animal Hospital so I didn't realize it was a veterinarian for regular care as well. Got a recommendation from a neighbor and so glad I brought my dog here. My other local vet was way too expensive and could rack up the bill so high. The prices are reasonable and fair here, and the staff and Dr are nice, friendly, efficient, and competent. This will be my new vets office without a doubt

If you're looking for a new vet, this place is first rate. It's spotlessly clean, the staff are polite, knowledgable and helpful, and I've always been able to get my pet seen right away. Dr.Katz (how could you not love a vet with that name?!) is great with any of the problems of either my cats or dogs that I have brought in. She spent hours suturing back together my kitty's ear after she was attacked, and now you can hardly tell anything happened to her. My other cat got bitten by a snake and she got him through it without any lasting effects. She is great with our dogs as well, and has picked up on several things that could have caused problems if they weren't recognized and treated. I've heard great things about other vet, Dr. O'Brien too. Their prices are reasonable too.

Lake Pine Animal Hospital is like family. Anytime unexpected injuries or sickness happen, they have never failed to respond and be available to see our dog immediately. You can trust that Lake Pine will never nickle and dime you like some other more commercial vets do, and they truly care about the well-being of your pet. Their priorities are first and foremost the care of our dog, and to quell our worries, not how much they can charge per visit. I am so happy and relieved to have found Lake Pine Animal Hospital, and I would highly recommend their care and services.

My dog most recently had teeth cleaning under anesthesia and she personally spoke to me before the procedure as well as later that day when I picked her up to review how things went, any findings, and after care. I also received a phone call from the office staff checking on my dog the next day as well as at the completion of her antibiotics to make sure things were going well. Again, I was very impressed with the care my dog received and the friendliness of the staff.

I've taken our puppy to Lake Pine for her routine vaccinations, and so far I've been very impressed with how accomodating and caring the staff is. It's a very small place with two examination rooms, so we've never had to wait more than a few minutes for the doctor. They're very patient with our new parent questions, and are thorough in their check-ups. And of course, they love dogs and make us feel like ours is the cutest they've ever seen. My only complaint was they didn't call us when our puppy was due for her next round of shots. I feel like it's common courtesy to send a reminder postcard for something like that. But we told them at our last visit we'd appreciate a call, and they made a note of that. We'll see if they follow up. Like any other vet, they're going to try to sell you all kinds of medications for your dog. At one point, they got a little defensive when we said we wanted to shop around for a flea medicine elsewhere. But otherwise, they're a great, caring staff, and I'd recommend them to anyone with paws.

I have been going to see Dr. Gintis and his staff at the Cary office for 15 years, even though I now live 1/2 hour away! I have seen them take on cases that other vets refused to attempt with outstanding results. I am very grateful to Dr. Gintis.

I highly recommend coming here if you live in the area. It's a relatively small practice and you benefit from great service because of that. Everyone is extremely friendly and great with their ""patients,"" including my dog that is extremely nervous about going to the vet. Everyone takes the time to explain everything to you instead of handing you the bill. Also, the cats they have are great. :)
