These guys are the best in all of lake county and surrounding areas. They are extremely compassionate, on-time, have flexible hours and have a clean facility. Dr. Hartman and staff treat you and your pet like family and you always know your pet is getting the best possible care and recommendations available. We've been to many clinics over the years and Valley Lakes is, without question the best. As soon as you meet Dr. Hartman you know he is a true compassionate animal lover and he understands your concerns and how you feel as well as what is best for your animal. Many vets come across as a bit cold and "Doctor-like" but Dr. Hartman is a great person first and foremost and also a damn good vet on top of it all. Valley Lakes Veterinary Clinic is what all veterinary clinics should strive to become. Compassionate, attentive, and not so large that it's difficult to develop great relationships with their customers. The team at Valley Lakes know and remember our animals and their quirks and don't just treat them like another number on the wall. They also provide online records of your pets (for free) via their pet portal website as well as list the medications they're on and have been prescribed. If your pet requires veterinary foods, you may also order them directly from their website and have them shipped to your house. Dr. Hartman will approve your prescription orders without an office visit. What more could you possibly ask for!? We can not recommend them highly enough. You will not be disappointed

My sister and I have both had bad experiences at this clinic. One was a very serious misdiagnosis and lack of treatment that was very painful and expensive to treat elsewhere. The other was an ineffective treatment plan that left the animal in the same condition. Clean, yes. Easy to keep clean when you have no clients.

Dr Hartman at Valley Lakes really takes the time to explain the details about your pet's health. He is an animal lover and really cares about each and every animal that comes to him! And the best part it....when you schedule an appointment...you don't have to wait 2 hours to see the doctor in a waiting room with other animals that are all making each other more nervous! It's a very soothing, clean, state of the art facility! I will NOT take my pets anywhere else!!

I recently visited the Valley Lakes Veterinary Clinic and found the entire staff to be outstanding. The staff was understanding and willing to answer any and all questions. Dr. Hartman explained his findings in easy to understand terms. I highly recommend the Valley Lakes Veterinary Clinic.
