Excellent practice. The staff is caring & compassionate. Dr Lester is amazing. He will work with all sorts of animals - from your typical cats & dogs to horses & even more "exotic" animals such as hedgehogs. He's humble and wonderful to work with. I took my hedgehogs to see him and even though he wasn't very familiar with them, he was very willing to listen and between my knowledge of hedgehogs and his vast experience as a vet, we were able to work together and my animals were very well cared for. They were wonderful in caring for my dogs too. I love this place, I love this doctor, I highly recommend Dr Lester & Northern Lakes Vet!
