Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital
Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital is McHenry County's leading full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We work closely with area specialists when more advanced diagnostic and surgical services are needed.

The facility includes a well-stocked pharmacy, in-hospital surgery suite with laser, in-house digital radiography and ultrasound capabilities and a closely supervised hospitalization area. At Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital we offer our clients sound advice and expert veterinary care.
Services
The Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital has been serving the McHenry County area since 1958 and moved to its current location in 1998. We provide a welcoming environment and state-of-the-art technologies to ensure the highest quality of care. We are a full-service veterinary medical facility with 3 doctors, 1 chiropractor and an experienced technical staff, providing the best possible medical, surgical and dental care for our patients.
On weekdays, we prefer to see our clients by appointment to allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures. Emergency and euthanasia cases may take precedence over regularly scheduled appointments, so an occasional appointment delay is inevitable. On Saturdays, we see patients on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Susan first came to the clinic as a client and loved it so much that she begged Dr. Nick to give her a job! She is now in her 19th year at CLVH, after retiring from a 20 year executive career at Motorola. Susan dedicates her life to her two Doberman Pinschers, her Italian Greyhound mix, and her three kitties.
Client satisfaction is a top priority at Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital. Our staff takes great pride in providing every pet with the high quality veterinary care and treating each pet like they are our own. We believe that testimonials from other Crystal Lake pet owners are great ways to know more about Crystal Lake Veterinary Hospital.
A Wellness Exam may also be called a 'check-up' or 'physical exam.' The focus of a wellness visit is the maintenance of optimal health. It is a routine medical examination of a pet that is apparently healthy, as opposed to an examination of a pet that is ill. The purpose for these activities is to feel for pain, swelling, growths or masses, and any other abnormalities that may create future, more serious problems.

Unprofessional at best. Will never go back or recommend. Happy to take my hundreds in cash money business elsewhere.
Dr. Nick said he hates pet parents and would just as soon rather retire. watch out!
Dr. Nick discourages pet parents from making informed decisions and asking informed questions because he's the authority and you should just shut up and take his advice.
They held my cat like a sack of potatoes and refused three times to put her back in the carrier.
Arrogant hospital manager told me I reap what I sow. On what planet did you receive your customer experience training over those

They were phenomenal with our Moe Moe cat. He loved them and tried escaping to be with the staff. Before we brought him in, he was lethargic and mad at everyone in our house including our new cat. After bloodwork and urine collection, they were able to address his acute and long term needs. After treatment, Moe started feeling better within hours. He loves his new food too! We are forever grateful.

Dr. Tina and her staff are just the best!! Our dog got progressively sicker yesterday. I love that they answer the phone before they open and they were able to get me in for an appointment first thing even though they didn't have one to give me! Really appreciate their compassion and care.

I have been going to this vet with ALL my fur babies. All the Doctors are amazing and are very good with my fur babies! The techs really go out of their way to explain the meds to you. The front staff make you feel at home. I'm sorry I didn't come here sooner!

The staff is very friendly and the vet that took care of Binkie is very nice too. She explained everything and put my mind at ease.
